Chill Out (Win! A $470 KitchenAid Stand Mixer!)

Top picks to embrace—not just brace for—winter. —Noa Nichol

baking blues. Cold weather calls for baking up a storm, and KitchenAid’s Heritage Artisan Series Model K 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in a limited-edition Misty Blue finish ($470)—reminiscent of one of the first KitchenAid Stand Mixer colours ever introduced, to celebrate the brand’s upcoming 100th anniversary—is the perfect pastry assistant. (Congratulations to our winner, Alanna R. of Hamilton, Ontario!)

winter wrap. It doesn’t get cold-weather cosier than Max Mara’s famous Teddy Coat ($4,350). Oversized in fur-effect camel-wool fabric on a silk base with lapels, low set-in sleeves and welt pockets, this iconic piece comes in a range of colour options to suit your winter wardrobe.

fiery fragrance. What better way to warm up than with a winter-perfect perfume? From November 5th, bottles of Chanel’s N°5 L’Eau ($198) will present in limited-edition red—a spot of heat in an otherwise dark and stormy month. 737 Dunsmuir St., 604-681-3121.

arctic aspiration. Tiffany & Co.’s latest Blue Book Collection includes pieces to match each season, including winter. This necklace, for one, boasts uniquely cut diamonds—totalling more than 91 carats—meant to mimic an iceberg landscape adrift on a delicate sea of platinum ($1,599,500). Photo by Grant Cornett

puddle play. The best way to deal with stormy weather? Have some fun! New to the Hunter family, the Original Play collection features tall rain boots ($140) in fresh, youthful designs and bold colourways that encourage play, no matter the weather.

cold cream. Don’t let dry skin define your seasonal experience. A must-have accessory, Chanel’s La Crème Main now comes in a new, more comforting and enveloping rich texture ($70) that promises eight hours of soft moisturization—the perfect ally for dry and delicate hands.

sugar lips. Fresh from Fresh, the limited-edition Zodiac Collection features a Sugar lip treatment ($32) for each sign (including, for babes born this month, Scorpio and Sagittarius). Bonus: visit fresh.com for exclusive horoscopes by astrologer-to-the-stars Susan Miller.

tree tops. As beautiful as a winter walk in the woods, Korres’ Black Pine range includes skin serums, oils, facials and creams containing pinus nigra bud/needle extract, with powerful anti-oxidant and anti-aging properties, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve facial architecture, promote plumping and more.

tie on. Beyond beautiful, the sale of this limited-edition Marc Cain charity scarf ($120), adorned with a jacquard-leo print and small hearts, will see partial proceeds go to help Plan International advance children’s rights in Africa.

be cool. Make a bold winter statement with Michael Kors’ Mott large crossbody ($428), Bellamie clutch ($278) or Rhea backpack ($428).
