Technically, spring might be right around the corner, but we Clevelanders know that the cold, wind and snow can last well into March, even April! Here are a few tips from local bloggers for looking stylish while staying warm.

Marissa Centofanti is a blogger I met at a local fashion event, and I knew she would be great for our series of blogger profiles. She is a young professional working in downtown Cleveland and started her blog Glitter or Gold as a creative outlet to write about her two favorite things beauty and fashion.

I met up with local blogger and recent law school graduate Katy Hanawait, whose blog Sugar and Chiffon offers great style advice as well as tasty recipes! Although she is from Stillwater, Oklahoma, over the past seven years she has made Cleveland her home. When I met up with her, she was rocking her favorite trends: a faux fur vest and red lip (she actually inspired me to try the red lip trend and I love it as well!). We discussed gift giving ideas, shopping, and her obsession with Martha Stewart!

The holidays are not just the most wonderful time of the year, but also the most stressful. From putting up the decorations to busy weekends filled with family gatherings and holiday parties, and maybe the most hectic task is figuring out the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

Tidal Cool Spa Day was held on Friday, Nov. 22, 2013, at the Tidal Cool Creations designer Andrea Howell’s studio at the Hildebrandt Artist Collective. Howell has shown her work in several different fashion weeks, including New York Fashion Week and Fashion Week Cleveland.
