Good morning, and Happy Friday to you!
As (I hope) you read yesterday, I featured my first guest blogger to speak about winter running essentials. Stacy is very educated when it comes to running clothes, and I knew she would be the perfect subject matter expert to write that post.
For this Fashion Friday, I would like to share two winter running essentials that I cannot live without.
Croquet Headband
I LOVE my red, yellow and green croquet headband. My boyfriend’s Grandmother got me this super cute headband for Christmas this year, and I cannot get enough of it. It is so warm, and also layers great on super cold days with other headbands underneath.

It is the perfect head flair for a freezing cold winter run, and gets a ton of compliments when you break it out.
I apologize for not having a direct link so you can get one of these too..however I think you can get similar headbands on Etsy.com.
The North Face Gaiter, aka “Turtle”
The next winter running essential that I cannot live without is my North Face neck protector. I know they are called Gaiters (according to the website, it is ‘Gaiter’ not ‘Gator’), but I like to call mine a turtle (I can sneak my head in and out, just like a turtle!).
This turtle is freaking amazing. It is SO warm and soft – I could easily sleep in it (which would actually save me a few minutes getting dressed in the morning). Anyone who will be running in the harsh cold winter winds needs this thing. I got it at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Go there right now, and buy one.
And when in doubt...throw on a boa.
I hope that after yesterdays post and this post today, you are all geared up for winter running. You have no excuses not to be out there pounding the payment.
I hope you have the best Friday ever, and a fantastic weekend ahead.

Love that headband! It could come in handy at the Chiefs games next year too, we can sport our matching ones!
Thanks for the “warm” ideas. I ran this morning (28 degrees) in tights, my favorite UA insulated top, and my vest. The vest is really great because it keeps my core warm and I can unzip it if I get too warm.
I put on a boa, but decided the feathers might wind up in my mouth as I ran – SPEW!!!! 🙂
Happy Friday!!!
You could mass produce those awesome headbands. And does that boa keep you warm too? I am going to buy my own turtle. Love it!
I really want to go snag one of those ‘turtles’ before my ski trip…do you recall other color options? Looks super soft!
