Yesterday I came across a list from Allure Magazine of 12 or so fashion "must-haves" that everyone apparently needs for winter.  Number 1 on their list? 
This hat.

That's right, folks.  Someone at Allure thinks that if you don't have a giant fur trapper hat this winter you just won't be fit to be seen in public.  I can think of a few people who would need a hat like this.  Professional ice fishers.  Arctic expeditionists.  Ice road truckers.  (If they frequently get flats or the heater in the cab breaks.)  Anyone hunting in the Siberian wilderness. For the rest of us I'm just going to go ahead and call this overkill.

Other than this hat, I really haven't seen any frozen tundra/Davy Crockett influences on fashion this winter.  The 1940's however, are a different story.  A lovely, classy, adorable story.  Grab yourself one of these and live happily, timelessly, stylishly forever.

  I don't often find things I like at Dillards, but this one is adorable and only $35!

A cloche hat is universally flattering.  It can be edgy or cute, sleek or wildly adorned.  I found fabulous options ranging from $15 at Avon to $300 plus at specialty boutiques.  Simply google "cloche hat" and let the fun begin!

This one is delicious...

Red is fantastic...

A little pricey but I found another adorable red cloche for $21 at Kohl's.

Slip one of these on and you'll defy any drabness this winter. 
You'll be ravishing and radiant.  And not the least bit furry.
