It measures 11.8"h x 16.5"w x 6.3"d and, like all of Kate's bags, this one also has her signature larabee dot lining. Price: $995.

When the days are short and the nights are long, it's hard not to want to bundle yourself into the warmest coat you can find and, even if you don't necessarily approve of wearing fur, you have to admit that the fur-wearers always look toasty. Anthropologie's Carriage Coat has the look of fur, but is synthetic. 'Tis the season to save some animals and still look stylish, right? Fortunately, the only thing that is noticeably unrealistic about this coat is that it lacks the faint animal smell of real fur. It feels wonderfully warm when draped around your shoulders and has a very flattering cut to it. Price: $218.

You can't get a much more luxurious blanket than a mink throw. The Sophia Mink Throw from Frette is an ultra-soft, plush blanket made of 100% mink on top and silky 100% silk on the bottom. The silk picks up on body heat instantly without getting itchy, like cashmere or some other materials can, while the mink adds heft to hold in the warmth. It measures 53.1-in. by 14.6-in. Price: $14,000.

Colder weather means that it's time for some cold weather accessories, and nothing keeps you warmer than a snuggly scarf - or better yet, an elegant stole. Rather than use real fur, you can get a knit Fox Stole from Anthropologie. This patchwork fox is made of tartan wool with a fluffy wool tail. It will keep you warm on a cold day and will definitely keep any anti-fur friends happy. As an added bonus, it's much cuter than wearing a real dead animal around your neck. Price: $148.
