Let’s be honest, there aren’t a whole lot of things to look forward to in Winter (I think that’s the Queenslander in me talking – Summer all the way!).
But I wanted to bring some Winter Love to you (and maybe to myself) so when I heard that my fave ice cream brand, Kapiti, won several awards at the recent New Zealand Ice Cream awards (Vintage Strawberry & Cream, Black Doris Plum & Cream Fraiche, Passionfruit & Lemon Curd, Fig & Honey all won awards – yum!) I thought why not keep that Winter love going and share with you some of my Winter faves!
So here are 5 of my favourite things this Winter – and I want YOU to help me work out the Supreme Winner! Find out how below……
1. Best Winter Dream Buy – Andrea Moore Coat
Shop the coat: Andrea Moore “Glamorous Disregard” Coat in beet $895
This is a BIG call! (no pressure) and there were SO MANY contenders but I couldn’t go past this gorgeous coat from an incredible New Zealand designer.
This coat is not cheap, and it’s not black – but it is DIVINE. I haven’t bought it (yet) but I’m saving, and I’ve tried it on about 7 times, each time I fall more in love with it more. It’s the kind of coat that makes a statement, in a BIG way, but is elegant and flattering and classic enough to have, and wear, for years and years. Definitely worth investing in (it DOES also come in black for those that-way inclined)
2. Best Winter Skin Saviour – Essano Skincare
Well this should be no surprise! You know how much I love this brand! (Plus their brand colours match mine haha). But seriously, in Winter, no matter what your skin type, the harsh weather can play havoc with your skin, so it’s extra-important to make sure its moisturised and taken care off.
Essano organic skincare is good for your skin, and good for your wallet! Double winner in my books.
3. Best Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich
Fellow Kapiti-lover and blogger Kirsten from High Tea With Dragons created this dessert and my mouth started watering on sight! What an awesome way to use ice cream (especially the Kapiti Black Doris Plum & Cream Fraiche!) in Winter…. now I just have to get The Husband to learn how to make it…….
4. Best Winter “Me Time” Treat – Heather Vette Nail Art
These amazing nails from the incredibly talented, and equally lovely, Heather Vette are such a great way to bring a smidge of Summer into the Winter. There’s nothing like a pop of colour or fun on your nails in Winter to break up all the black and grey. Heather’s studio is sweet (and warm) and she makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. Definitely a great way to beat the winter blues without breaking the bank. Book an appointment here.
5. Best Winter “Must Have” Shoe – The Ankle Boot
Well this is no surprise. You know I LOVE an ankle boot. They are the most versatile shoe you can have through winter.
These Overland boots (get them here: Sword boot $249.95) are the perfect mix of casual and dressy, classic and funky, and the heel hight is one that most people will be confirmable in all day (speaking from personal experience). Jeans, tights, draped pants, what ever you are wearing, these wee boots will complete the look.

Mine has to be Essano Skincare, I can’t get over the quality of their products, thanks for the recommendation Caitlin!
That coat! The colour is just perfect (and so much more interesting and brightening winter than typical coat black or grey, but I think it would still work well with many things – especially as just your legs are out, and often they’re pretty neutral). I’m heading to the UK, so double winter coming up, it’d get well used… Hmm hubby convincing time!
That pink Andrea Moore coat is GORGEOUS. Definitely an investment piece but I love the striking colour to brighten our winter days and such a welcome change from black or beige!!
the decadent ice cream sandwich gets my vote
They are all winners in my book and I’d enjoy them equally over winter. One can’t go past a good practical coat though and the Andrea Moore coat is superb ! Such a beautiful vibrant colour which would make me feel warm, alive, and so pretty every time I stepped out in it, heck I’d want to step out every day just so I could wear it ! You’ve got to get it Cait, so gorgeous that you’ve tried it on seven times, made me giggle that did ! Honour your inner child *
Essano skincare gets my vote! This range is beyond amazing. Ugh! I can’t get enough of it’s goodness and it makes me feel gorgeous and confident in my own skin. I’d be ever so grateful if I win this. I’m hoping I get lucky this time but if not, I’ll be happy for whoever wins. Thank you for the chance.
Def the ankle boots – could def do with a pair of those to complete several outfits! I like!!
Oh wow definitely that beautiful Andrea Moore Coat is too actually die for! I can totally see why you have tried it on 7 times! ps. I love the pics you take with the pink flamingos #loveflamingos x
Well…my all time weakness is icecream even on a cold winter’s night and I’m loving the black Doris plum combo so that recipe with Kapiti Icecream just has to take my vote
My favourite would have to be Essano rosehip oil!!
it’s SO good isn’t it Marianne! thanks so much for voting 🙂
Have to say I’ve been using Essano moisturiser and it’s a wonderful winter helper. Luuurrve the smell too, so divine. Awesome award choices here! Love the gorgeous use of Black Doris Plum & Créme Fraîche Ice Cream too, yummo. 🙂
How GOOD is the smell? I wish I could eat it haha! Thanks so much for taking the time to enter Rhiannon, good luck!
Ice Cream Sandwich for sure! 🙂
My fave is definitely Essano skincare. I’ve tried the Body Lotion and it’s like nothing else I’ve tried, just sinks in and not oily. It smells divine too. Skincare, to someone like me who is always struggling with skin problems, is far more important than anythiing else. (Having said that, the coat is beautiful).
oh Christine, I’m so happy to hear that you’ve found Essano helpful on your skin, it’s just divine isn’t it. Thank you so much for your vote and good luck!
Definitely the ice dram sandwich – Kapiti Black Doris Plum and Creme Fraiche icecream is my absolute favourite flavour of all time. Soooo delicious!
oh yay! How good does the sandwich look!
So hard to choose, but I’d have to go for the Black Doris Plum and Creme Fraiche Kapiti Icecream, and in the sandwich even better. This would be a great pick-me-up and get-together excuse that would perk me up in the middle of winter.
So hard to choose! thanks so much for taking the time to vote Crissi and good luck with the competition
Love the Andrea Moore Coat. Such a gorgeous colour!
Arghh the Andrea Moore coat to keep me warm and disguised whilst eating kapiti black doris plum ice cream!
haha love that idea!
Love the coat such a fab colour to brighten up winter
Ohhhh I love these boot. I migh t have to go into Overland and try them on!
they are actually the most perfect ankle boots ever Jocelyn!
The Andrea Moore Coat is stunning! And I love how the Kapiti Black Dorris Plum ice cream matches it! Love your blog 🙂
oh thanks so much for saying Krystle 🙂 haha i didn’t even mean to match the colours! It just worked out that way
I cannot go past an ice cream sandwich. I’m such a sweet tooth so surviving Junk Free June was a big deal. I’ll definitely be making this decadent winter dessert by High Tea with Dragons sometime very soon. Delish
Good on you lady for surviving Junk Free June! thanks so much for entering and good luck chick xx
Andrea Moore Coat because i think the style is amazing and the colour is striking. I don’t normally go for such bright colours but this colour is stunning.
Kapiti ice cream is simply the best ever !
That coat! I’m so bored by black coats, so that one is a winner.
me too Teresa! great choice and thanks for voting!
I know what you mean. There is something about that coat! So yes that would have to be my winter fave…
My favourite has to be the ankle boot. Classic, practical + cute.
The boots a must for the winter wardrobe I adore them
The Kapati ice cream hands down! Not only is it mouth watering delectable but it’s affordable. There are alot of women out there who simply can not afford spending $895 on a single item of clothing. Beautiful as it is.
My taste buds led me here. My favourite is Best Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich.
I will definitely be trying this out.
I love, love, love the nails! Affordable winter treat , but you would end up looking at your ands all day right?
“Hands”
I have the boots, I have tried the ice cream (admittedly not in a sandwich) and loved it, but that coat, I absolutely adore it.
Ahhhhhh the coat! I am in love!!!! colour is gorgeous and the perfect piece for my wardrobe!!!
The Andrea Moore coat is beautiful, I just love the colour!
Woohoo – the Kapiti ice cream sandwich of course :). What better way to keep warmer by burning up more calories eating cold ice cream 🙂
Oh the coat! Dropping in to Andrea Moore is enough to cheer up even the dullest winter day, whether it’s the cute prints or the stunning solid colours like this coat. Easily my favourite, favourite colour, favourite winter clothing item, favourite designer – how could it be anything else!
an amazing winter coat is unbeatable……the Andrea Moore coat is my pick it is spectacular x
Essano organic skincare…Rosehip is delightful…I use it day and night as my daily skincare….heaven!
DEfinately the Decadent Winter Dessert! Love the colours. I have a beautiful coat so ice-cream it is !
The icecream all the way, Kapiti is the best!
I LOVE the Nails by Heather Vette Nail Art! Heather Vette is AMAZING at nails, the colours are perfect adding a little slice of Summer when we are battling the colder months, PLUS how cute are those flamingos?! I feel nails are the perfect way to relax and feel super glam after! <3 x
I love the Andrea Moore coat – there is simply nothing better than classic style that can be worn in any circumstance and not saved for special occasions. I love this jacket but the price is a bit hefty – with reason.
Shoes hand down for me, that’s my winter pick! Love them! Funky as hell..
aren’t they just 😉
Heather Vette Nail Art, fresh nails always a mood booster!
Andrea Moore’s Pink Coat is fabulous.!
Best Winter Decadent Dessert for sure!!! Looks so delicious and caught my attention straight away…Its never too cold for an ice cream sandwhich 😉
Best Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich is my favourite: That’s why I’m on this page in the first place (and that is a big call as we are a sugar free family! So to get tempted by that is a HUGE call!)
3. Best Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich would be my favourite pick out of the bunch
The Ankle Boot i have been on the lookout for the perfect winter boot!
Definitely the Kapiti Ice-Cream, which directed me to this page. But have to say those nails a very impressive looking
Ankle boots are a must for winter to me for first choice, followed by a great coat would be ideal. And eating ice-cream sandwich heaven!
Best Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich is my favourite: That’s why I’m on this page in the first place 🙂
Bellissimo Essano!! the winter skin saviour for cold winter days, I would love to try Essano Skincare! Thank you!
ice cream sandwich! Looks so good! 🙂 🙂
Absolutely the handcream would be my favourite, because the weather really does wreck my hands. The ankle boots are a close second though, so cute <3
I’ve been on the lookout for great ankle boots for a while now and those ones look like the perfect pair! Would love to own those!
Buy – Andrea Moore Coat. It looks gorgeous!!!
i haven’t been brave enough to buy ankle boots yet but these look great.
Such an amazing selection to choose from… so hard… I am such an ice-cream fan its hard to go past Kapiti’s new flavour, but a great Ankle Boot or fab winer coat is something that you can use time and time again… It’s going to have to be the ankle boot for me! Awesome when you find the right one – irreplaceable!
The Rosehip products please.
I just lovethe ankle boots. As you said super versatile and Overland is a very reliable brand.I can use them year round too and you know your feet won’t hurt because it has just the right heel height.
That coat! Instant polish and glamour with that one item. And a colour to really cheer you up.
Ankle boots. Definitely the toughest part of an outfit is balancing budget, comfort and style for footwear. Get one element wrong and you sorely regret it.
Ankle boot!!!! Amazing when you find the right one!
My vote goes to ice cream sandwich! Having ice cream in winter is double the fun than having it in summer. An obvious reason could well be it doesn’t melt too quickly 🙂
The Andrea Moore coat, such a dream wardrobe item!
Such a hard choice but I have to choose Essano skincare as my top choice. Keeping my skin hydrated especially in the winter is a priority for me and love rosehip oil!
Because I love desserts, my favourite has to be the ice cream sandwich with Kapiti Black Doris Plum & Cream Fraiche icecream. But I love the colour of the Andrea Moore coat and I use Essano Rosehip because it’s just such a fantastic range of skin products.
The Essano Rosehip skincare – great for moisturising dry skin in the winter months.
They’re all pretty awesome but picking a fave, I’d have to say the absolutely GORGEOUS Andrea Moore “Glamorous Disregard” Coat in that colour! What a way to brighten a dreary winters day!
i love the ankle boot!! I have been looking for some to buy as I’m going back to work soon from being on maternity leave! These look perfect. I do share the love of kapiti too but the boots are what I need most at the mo.
Those Overland boots are super sexy cool – ankle boots are just so versatile. And Overland is known for being all about quality and comfort with cutting edge styling.
Those gorgeous Rosehip products !!!
The ankle boots are gorgeous.
My favourite is the Andrea Moore coat.
The Essano organic skincare range gets my vote would like to try it
I like Best the : Winter Decadent Dessert – Ice Cream Sandwich 🙂
I’d love some new honey boots ta kick off in the winter yummy yummy that ice cream sandwich great idea to create at home thou yummy
The ice cream sandwich 🙂
I definitely have a sweet tooth and I’ve already indulged in the Kapiti Dorris Plum ice cream and its amaaaazing, I love it so making it into an ice cream sandwich would be heaven lol
Best Winter Dream coat is a winner. It nice and bright on a cold winters day and a stand out from the crowd that wear alot of black
I love the Andrea Moore coat. Everything about it is stunning!
love the Overland Sword Ankle boots, keep my feet warm n cosy in style, just what I need to go with my winter wardrobe and to treck around town to get to the Kapiti store for cheese n icecream supplies
the gorgeous coat.
I love the Andrea Moore Coat, such a gorgeous colour!
Cool post, definitely the manicure does it for me! A bit of color and fun to break up cold wet days stuck inside! Great post
Definitelt the ankle boots, so versatile and perfect for the winter season!!
The Andrea Moore gorgeous winter coat in a brilliantly cheerful colour would a sure winner.
isn’t the colour amazing Selina! thanks so much for your entry and good luck in the competition
My vote is for the Essano skin care range (particularly the oil). I spend a large part of my day walking outside and this is my skin’s saviour. While the coat, the boots, the nails and the ice-cream sandwiches are all amazing, the Essano skin care range is the winter winner for me.
I would have to say the ankle boots as I looove my yearly winter purchase of ankle boots from overland and I am now tempted to buy these aswell! I also love the nails!
Very definitely a vote from me for the gorgeously versatile ankle boots! I love wearing these type of boots with skinnys, long dresses, short dresses…anything!
I’m swinging towards the coat me thinks but such a hard choice 🙂
haha too hard for me to choose Crystle – that’s why I’m making you ladies do it 😉 thanks for entering
All these products look fab, from things to make you look and feel great, to something yummy to eat like the Kapiti Ice Cream. Its a really tough choice between that beautiful coat (in my favourite colour) or the Essano Rosehip Oil but I choose the Essano 🙂
Ankle boot ankle boot ankle boot! 110%. That post changed my life!
they ARE pretty awesome aren’t they
Awesome range of products – tough to choose from. I think I’d have to go with the ankle boots.
Thanks for your entry Liz! great choice on the ankle boots -)
While ALL are awesome I have to vote for the Rosehip skincare range because when your skin feels and looks great – your inner confidence soars – allowing to you shine in whatever you wear!
Great answer Wendy! And so true 🙂 thanks for taking the time to enter the competition and good luck!
I’m loving the Ankle Boots. Perfect for winter
they are great this time of year aren’t they Sophie!
Its the boots for me. I’ve worn my trusty black ankle boots to death and think it’s time to get some new ones. Those are slightly different to mine so would be nice to have a change.
Great timing Emma! Nothing like a good pair of black ankle boots are there.
My pick would be the boot! Very versatile and will complete any look!
Great choice Jo! thanks for taking the time to enter and good luck 🙂
Love all of them!!!!
I think I would have to go skincare though as it makes you feel gorgeous whatever you end up wearing.
Great point Andrea 🙂 it sure does! thanks for entering and good luck x
My vote goes to the STUNNING Andrea Moore Glamorous Disregard Coat in Beet, I adore that colour and would get so much wear out of this. Its fabulous!
Isn’t it just amazing!!! thanks so much for entering Olivia and good luck 🙂
Love them all but I’m going to go with the gorgeous ankle boots
haha I love them all too Sally, that’s why I’m making you guys choose 😉 thanks for entering and great choice!
Tough choice… I would have to go with the Andrea Moore Coat. It is in my favourite colour and if I had the money would purchase it in a heart beat!
It’s my fave colour too Kim! #snap! thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
The Andrea Moore coat- it is to die for. Statement coat but so versatile.
GREAT choice Katie! I totally agree 🙂 good luck and thanks for entering
I’m voting for the coat, even though its expensive to the point of stupidity! Its truly gorgeous and after buying a coat last year that I love, love, love and always feel great in (and therefore wear it every winters day) its an investment. Oh and the COLOUR! My advice would be to buy it on sale at the end of the season or search online for a second hand one.
Hi Lisa, even though I get what you are saying, a lot of time and work goes into a coat like this PLUS Andrea Moore is all NZ made from the highest quality materials so you know that no one is being exploited, and that you are getting a piece that is worth what you are paying for it. Like you said, it’s an investment and if you can see yourself getting years and years of wear out of it, them maybe it is worth it to some people 🙂 (but also yes, on sale is always a good option haha!)
This is a tough one but im going with the ankle boots
Great choice Renata!
Oh man, High Tea With Dragons’ Ice Cream Sandwiches with the Kapiti Black Doris Plum & Cream Fraiche Ice Cream sounds so divine, that has to be my supreme winner. I can’t stop thinking about them, so I think I’ll have to make a couple of cheeky ones!
GREAT choice lady! My husband keeps pestering me to make these too….. mmmmmmm ice cream…..
thanks for entering and good luck!! xx
I love the colour of the coat but my vote is for the ankle boots. I struggle to wear heels, but I’ve discovered ankle boots are much more comfortable and are so versatile as to what you can wear them with 🙂
the really are aren’t they Rachael! I’ve got so many pairs because they are all I wear in Winter! thanks so much for entering and good luck in the competition 🙂
Definitely the ankle boots!
great choice Olivia – thanks for entering!
The ankle boot, they make even the every day a little funky. Boots really are a winter treat and one of the handful of things I enjoy about it being cold.
haha I love that line! “they make every day a little funky”. They do don’t they! Totally with you there on the little saving graces of Winter 😉 thanks for entering and good luck~
it’s a toss up between the Essano and the ankle boots…I wouldn’t be able to get through winter without either, but seeing as there needs to be one winner, I’ll go with Essano, I don’t think I could go 24 hours without its powers 🙂
ooooooh tough choice Tara! (why do you think I’m making you guys decide haha!) I like the way you think, Essano it is then! Good luck and thanks so much for entering!
I love my ankle boots for winter! They’re about the only thing I love for winter! So my first vote goes to the boots. However, the dessert is a close second! Yum!!! (Fingers crossed I win – I know what I need already!)
Haha they are about the only thing I love about Winter too Sarah! (hence this post to try and find other Winter loves haha)
thanks so much for entering and good luck!
Essano skincare is amazing
it’s so amazing isn’t it Rochelle!
The Andrea Moore coat is just lovely!
It’s my personal fave too 😉
thanks so much for entering and good luck in the competition!
What a beautifully colour coordinated collection! That coat is to DIE for, I love everything about it – although the Kapiti ice cream comes a close second.
haha I didn’t do that on purpose but it worked out nicely didn’t it 🙂 GREAT choice with the coat Pagan, thanks for entering
The Andrea Moore coat is amazing! Love the colour and fit… I might have to go try it on too!
haha I tried it on AGAIN over the weekend – I highly recommend it 🙂
My vote is hands down for the Rosehip skincare by Essano. I just started using it a few weeks ago and my skin has already improved – it feels smoother, softer and more radiant. Just what I need for winter!
Great choice Charlotte! I’ve definitely noticed the difference in my skin too. Thanks so much for taking the time to enter and good luck in the competition
Great give-away Caitlin! I think the ankle boots are the best – hands-down! Such easy styling as they’ll go with everything: dresses and cardies, skirts and blazers, jeans and button-down shirts. Would also try them with shorts and a cape/kimono. So versatile – a sure winner!
Oh sounds awesome! They are THE most versatile shoes aren’t they 🙂
Heather Vette nail art! Although I would sacrifice Summer 2015 to own that gorgeous coat, realistically time on my nails is more me 🙂 Plus, I did mine today while home sick, sat still for half an hour and still smudged it!
Haha I HATE it when that happens! I ALWAYS smudge one when I do it myself!
Thanks so much for taking the time to enter 🙂
The Beet coat all the way!! Would be a great investment piece for anyone’s wardrobe and a great way to brighten up any winter day 🙂
Great choice Susan!! That’s why I love it so much 🙂
My favourite would have to be Rosehip by Easson.
I am a florist and work outside in the cold. My skin gets dry from the cold and needs lots of care. Got to look after yourself in winter. Nothing like a bit of pampering and making yourself feel like gold in this miserable weather 🙂
Exactly Nat!! Essano is so beautiful on the skin isn’t it 🙂
thank you so much for taking the time to enter and good luck!
My favorite out of the five would have to be the Essano skincare. I love their products so much. My skin has dramatically change since I have been using Essano.❤
It’s such an amazing product isn’t it 🙂
OMG definitely the icecream sandwich, not that I need the extra padding lol!
haha it looks so good doesn’t it!
That coat is divine!! The colour is stunning!!
So amazing isn’t it Natasha! thanks for entering and good luck!
The Overland ankle boots! Our office uni student came into work wearing a pair like this and I started daydreaming how they would look on me!
They would look awesome on you!!
I love the overland boots
they are great aren’t they Tiffany 🙂
Such great choices but I don’t think I can go past the gorgeous coat!! I love bright colours in winter!
Great choice Mandy!!
Most definitely the shoe/boot – I bought these last winter and love love love them! So comfortable!!
oh nice! So glad you’re loving them Angie! thanks for entering and good luck!
Has to be the Essano skincare for me. Such gorgeous stuff and lovely smelling too. Makes me skin feel great. C x
Definitely, absolutely the coat. Love AM’s whole collection this season 🙂
I KNOW I love it all! Thanks for entering Sarah and good luck in the comp x
I love the coat because it’s such an amazing colour and there should be more colour in winter. Tough choice though as I also love Essano skincare products and those boots!
Totally agree Tracy, yay for winter colour!
I most certainly choose the Overland ankle boot!!
I have been looking for the perfect boot for months and i’ve just found it!
yay! They really are the perfect boots Briana 🙂
thanks for entering the competition, good luck!
What a fabulous shortlist! Just saw it on Instagram and popped over to your blog. It’s hard to choose a supreme winner but my vote goes to the skincare. NZ winters can be harsh and Rosehip oil is the one thing that keeps me hydrated (second choice for me would be the ice-cream, as the colour is amazing).
oh yay Jen, thanks for popping over 🙂
Great choice! thanks so much for entering and good luck x
Wow, how do you choose? I already use and love the Rosehip Oil and those ice cream sandwiches look to die for! I might even need to adjust my shopping list this week 😉 But where I’m really torn is between the Andrea Moore coat and the Overland ankle boots…. I think my final vote needs to be the coat for no other reason than that AMAZING colour. I could definitely do with a little more colour in my wardrobe 🙂
haha why do you think I’m making you guys choose the final winner 😉 thanks for your entry and good luck!
I LOVE that coat! I am a bit of a coat addict and I try and steer clear of black, it’s so nice to see some bright colourful coats out this winter 🙂
I couldn’t agree more Nicky 🙂 Good luck with the comp!
The Andrea Moore coat gets my vote! I have been coveting it like crazy!! So beautiful 🙂 x
I know how you feel, I’m in love too 😉 Good luck with the comp and thanks for entering
They are all great! The winner for me is the Andrea Moore coat. It stands out and creates a nice shape on the body! Would love to win!
Awesome lady, thanks for entering. Great choice and good luck x
It’s has to be the essano skincare! That brand has saved my skin! Love that it is so affordable, not tested on animals and kiwi made! I’ve put so many of my friends onto this brand, love love love them!
that’s so awesome to hear Danielle, it really is a winner anyway isn’t it 🙂
I love the skincare – my skin is so dry over winter! 🙂
Essano is perfect for Winter skin! thanks for your entry Alisha and good luck x
They are all fabulous! But it would have to be the ankle boot from Overland. Seriously good!
Great choice Johanna! Good luck 🙂
The skincare. Great price point! Seriously though this was a tough call given you could eat loads of those ice cream sandwiches and your skin, nails or boots would never not fit………;)
haha agreed on the tough call Stef (why do you think (I’m making you guys choose the winner!)
Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
Definitely the Andrea Moore coat- that is absolutely gorgeous!
isn’t it 🙂 Good luck and thanks for entering Monique
I feel the need for some pampering so I’d vote for the amazing nail art.
Me thinks you need some pampering too…. although that ice cream could go a long way with that….. 😉 xx
My vote goes to Essano Skincare! I have very sensitive skin and this range makes my skin feel amazing with no risk of breakouts! Also the rose hip oil is great in my hair
Oh what a good tip! In the hair! I’ll definitely have to try that 🙂
Thanks for the entry and good luck x
Love this post Cait! I’m a sucker for Kirsten’s posts – her talent with food always has me drooling so I’d have to say the supreme winner is the Ice Cream Sandwich. x
How AMAZING is Kirsten! great choice Ariana 🙂 thanks for entering and good luck! x
Love the boots and really love the Ode to Boots in one of the other comments – very clever lady!!!
How amazing was that entry haha! Thanks for your entry too Tania, good luck! x
Such a hard pick! The colour of the coat is absolute perfection and the boots are amaze balls.
My pick would have to go to heather’s nail art, her nails and make up are so on point and totally flawless. I so want to get my nails done and the flamingoes and sparkles have stolen my heart!
She is so talented isn’t she Courtney, make sure you book an appointment to go see her!! And thanks for entering 🙂
Hard one. After having kids I realised it’s the small things that make a lady feel beautiful, for me it’s nails. I feel amazing when my nails are painted.
But! I went out and brought Essano Skincare, on my word it’s amazing! This for me is a winner!
So true! (although I think the small things count kids or not!) and yes, how amazing is Essano! Thanks for entering and good luck Tracy 🙂
The essano skincare rosehip oil is my absolute favourite! One of the worst things about winter is dry skin but with a few drops of this oil, skin is hydrated and soft.
Isn’t it perfect for dry winter skin? Another reader said she uses it in her hair, what a great idea too!
thanks so much for entering Kristy and good luck 🙂
All great pick! My vote goes to the gorgeous Andrea Moore winter coat. It’s one beautiful statement coat. I think definitely worth investing for 🙂
haha that’s why I’m making you guys choose, it was too hard a choice for me 🙂 thanks so much for entering Maria and good luck!
Hard to choose, I love them all but the Andrea Moore Coat had me gasping so I have to say THE COAT! Loving this colour, just got a new lippy in it!
Oh snap!!! Well my fingers are crossed for you Jenna, thanks for entering x
This is a hard one to pick. But I would go with the Essano skincare. Winter causes my skin dry and flaky. I love rosehip Oil and it is a great moisturiser for dry skin. It is a must have for winter
Great choice Anna! Another reader also suggested using it on dry hair (so apply it wet at the ends like a leave in conditioner) what a fab idea!
thanks so much for taking the time to enter and good luck!
That coat!! OMG, the cut, the colour it would look good on anyone!! Definitely sweet for the eye 🙂
isn’t it pretty much the perfect coat! (I’ve only tried it on a couple of times haha!)
thanks so much for entering and good luck x
The Overland boots would be my choice. Have never owned a decent pair.
oh they are so worth it Anita! You’d get so much use out of them 🙂
thanks so much for taking the time and enter and good luck !
Wow, tough choice buuuut i’m going to vote for the nail art – amazing! 🙂
Great choice lady! Good luck x
The ice cream sandwiches are making me hungry but I’m voting for the coat. The colour is amazing. Kapiti is my fave ice cream. Fingers crossed there are 13 tubs coming my way!
haha my fingers are crossed for you too – good luck! x
I NEED the Andrea Moore coat, it’s amazing! Now how to hide it on the credit card statement… 😉
oh I know right?! When you work it out, can you tell me too haha – good luck!
Definitely the ankle boot! Agree so versatile.. Plus I’m too short and have chunky calves so I can’t wear knee highs..
then they sound perfect for you 🙂 good luck!
I’ve been looking for a decent pair of ankle boots and voila! Love them! Thanks.
oh my pleasure! they are awesome aren’t they 🙂
I am torn between the coat and the skincare. I think I will go skincare because it is so accessible for everyone. I have had a few samples courtesy of online shopping and fallen in love.
it’s such a great brand! I use it everyday 🙂 Good luck~
That coat is absolutely gorgeous! 25% off at the moment too!
As much as I find that coat gorgeous, I would pick the Essano skin care range, because despite the seasons, the changes in fashion, etc, keeping your skin beautiful is an essential part of staying radiant isn’t whatever you may be wearing!
great answer! and GREAT to know it’s 25% off! Good luck
I absolutely love the color and cut of that coat. Only been into Andrea Moore a few times and I love her jewelry too! Everyone wonders why I am so strange and where bright colors all year round but I just think bright colors make you feel so good and it’s good to wear color, why are we all so inclined to wear black because we think it’s safe? Black is definitely flattering but colour is just the best – why not stand out from the crowd right?
TOTALLY agree Helen and I love that Andrea Moore does colour all year round. Good luck with the comp! x
The Essano Organic Skincare looks gorgeous and very enriching for winter skin. That would be my pick!
thanks for voting Louise! it’s such a great brand, good luck in the comp
The ankle boot!!! I love them, so versatile.
So good aren’t they! Good luck in the comp Jade 🙂
It has to, has to, HAS TO be the gorgeous Andrea Moore coat. Gorgeous colour, gorgeous cut, gorgeous everything! Need it now…..wonder if I can convince the husband I will absolutely never need another coat ever again!
haha if you have any success with that, let me know how you did it so I can try it too!
I can’t enter as I’m not a NZ resident. But I just have to comment. Oh my, that coat! Lurve
That would be my pick. The colour is just luscious and such a pick me up for this winter weather x
it’s it amazing Sarah! xx
I would love a new pair of ankle boots! And that jacket is stunning!
they are both great aren’t they Lisa – which is your pick?
decisions, decisions,
the coat – the colour is devine and will make you happy and as you have spent so much money you won’t be able to afford the dessert there by losing weight! a winner alround
All the hard decisions right Susan haha!
Definitely the coat! I just moved to Auckland from Colorado and I love all winter accessories: coats, scarves and cute hats…you can still get away with wearing them on some of the colder days and nights here.
Welcome to NZ Rhiannon! What a great way to get into the NZ Winter with a gorgeous NZ-designed coat!
Oh this is a tough one Cait!!! The boots are amazing and I can see that I would get lots of wear out of them but my vote has to go to the Andrea More coat in beat. That colour is just divine and would brighten even the dullest of days! One a side note – if I won I would donate my ice cream to the Hamilton Homeless Trust, it would be nice to brighten someone else’s day too xx
oh that’s so sweet of you Karren!
How amazing is the coat 😉
Good luck with the comp xx
Ahhh those ankle boots, I’ve been eyeing those up for a few weeks now! Might have to take the plunge and save for them. I keep seeing them everywhere
They are my TOP pick for ankle boots Victoria! So versatile – go for it!
thanks for entering!
That coat is so gorgeous….love the colour, has to be my top pick.
Its SUCH a gorgeous colour isn’t it Rachel – good luck in the comp!
Love the Andrea Moore winter coat in beet. Could vision wearing it now out by the water in the winter sun eating that Kapiti decedent dessert with girl-friends and a bottle of bubble’s. Oh well back to work I suppose
I can totally see that vision too Rach! cheers to that!
So hard to choose but that coat is just too divine on so many levels. Happy winter and thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Isn’t it just Lynette! Thank you for entering and good luck!
Hi! I have to say my fave at this moment is looking like that delicious ice cream sandwich! Just finished lunch and that would be a delicious lunch pudding right now. Mmmm. But i do feel like I need those boots in my life too. X
I was just thinking the same thing Hannah 😉 Good luck in the comp and thanks for your entry!
My favourite is the ankle boot – I actually bought this very same pair of boots a week or so ago and have been wearing them ever since – absolutely adore them!
oh snap! I love these ones especially, so versatile. thanks for the entry and good luck in the comp x
My ode to boots….
You only get one set of feet in life so you need to treat them right,
Ankle boots are the winter staple, they go from day to night.
Casual, glam, black or brown, they go with everything,
Keeping out the cold and rain and whatever winter brings.
Ankle boots last for years, multiple seasons strong,
All day comfort whilst looking good, with boots you can’t go wrong.
Even though I love icecream after a nice hot dinner,
My vote must go to ankle boots, they are my winter winner 😀
that is an INCREDIBLE answer! High fives to you Katherine!!! Good luck in the comp 🙂
The Andrea Moore coat in ‘beet’ is insanely cool! Would love a coat like this to enhance an otherwise black coat collection! Love it and it’s my vote for winner for the Winter Awards!
I know right??!? Now I just have to justify it to the husband……
That coat is divine! I vote for that, but the boots are very close behind..
too many to choose from aren’t there Alice!
The Anchor Boot! I love that it’s Black so will go with everything, but has enough detailing to not be boring!
so true Stephanie! good luck x
Love love love the jacket and the boots but feel that the best winter pick for me would be the awesome nail art. Imagine how many times you could treat yourself over winter with all the different designs and not get bored with them ever!! Even better, I would think they would be very affordable for every one to try out 🙂 🙂
totally agree Jolene, I’m working through my fave nail art designs as we speak! Good luck in the comp!
My favorite would have to be the ‘me time treat’ nail art! Being a solo mum to one 13 year old doesnt ever leave much spare to spend on myself so a pick me up of pretty nails always has me feeling like a million bucks without breaking the bank!!!
great choice Michelle! A little me time goes a long way doesn’t it
OMG! That jacket is gorgeous! The “Glamorous Disregard” in Beet is simply stunning! Thats my go to pick! So out of my price range. You go for it! So totally love!
Isn’t it amazing!!! It’s totally out of my price range too, but I think somethings are worth saving for 😉
Oh wow, that jacket is stunning – Cait you should totally get it! Imagine how much it would brighten up a grey winter. Sorry – I am a complete shopping enabler!! I love the rest of the list too!
I’m working on the husband haha!!
I LOVE the Andrea Moore coat, that cut and that colour – gorgeous!
Great choice Fiona! (it’s my fave too!)
Love the “must have” shoe – The Ankle Boot!! They keep your feet so nice and toasty on these cold winter days and nights and like you said, so versatile 🙂 x
great choice Shannon! Love anything with versatility right?
