Staying chic and cruelty-free is a difficult feat come snow season. Most snow-proof clothing is either made from wool, leather, or down feathers–or it’s simply not flattering. But these slick snow essentials prove it’s possible to stay stylishly vegan while walking in a winter wonderland.

Cruelty-Free Snow Clothes

1. Thermal Top

Thermal tops lock in heat and are perfect for layering under snow jackets. This bandana print thermal by Free People is trendy and practical. Plus, it has a stretchy fit that’ll prevent you from feeling trapped beneath your layers.

2. Softshell Anorak

Jessica Simpson is one of my go-to brands for vegan snow jackets. Each season, there are usually at least three different cruelty-free styles to choose from. This soft shell anorak is perfect for wearing over a few layers on winter outings.

3. Quilted Puffer Jacket

This sleek puffer jacket by Jessica Simpson is perfect for staying extra warm with its polyester filling. Plus, it has a removable faux fur hood which will allow you to switch up your look. Water-resistant polyester means you’ll stay dry all day long in this cruelty-free snow coat.

4. Skinny Ski Pants

These slick ski pants have a skinny silhouette and are fitted closely to ensure you’ll look sophisticated. Their design allows you to ski effortlessly without being weighed or slowed down by baggy pants.

5. Floral Snow Pants

If snowboarding is your preferred snowsport, then these floral Burton snow pants are a must. The whimsical print will keep you looking trendy as you ride down the mountain. Plus, they are waterproof and very breathable with zipper vents running through the sides.

6. Colorblock Leggings

A comfy pair of leggings layered under your snow clothes are essential. The stretchy feel of these colorblock Free People leggings makes them ideal for both snow sports or just wintery walks. They’re also high-waisted which means they have the perfect rise for staying put as you move about.

7. Faux Leather Gloves

Finding gloves made without leather is always a challenge. But these Marmot gloves will keep your hands dry and warm with their faux leather coating and polyester-fleece interior. The printed trim adds a trendy touch that’ll help you stand out.

Holidays (for most of us) bring clean, silent, and peaceful snowfall along with the spirit of giving. Here are the most beautiful and best of Instagram photos for this week, based on the popular hashtag, snow.

No matter what climate you are in, the holiday season reminds us of the warmth giving to others can bring. Let go of the pressure and stress this holiday season, and be aware of the simple joy of the now. Accept who we are, what we can give in this minute, and be grateful. We will find we give more than material things, and our presence becomes the real present.

So, if you are in a snowy zone, grab yourself a hot chocolate and cozy up to these beautiful pictures. And if you aren’t near snowfall, here’s a look into this week’s winter wonderlands around the world. Because it is also the most wonderful time of the year for remembering the warmth within us all, even amidst ice and snow.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

So far, the winter of 2011-2012 ranks as the fifth-warmest on record. And if temperatures continue to hover around the 40s through February, we’re set to break that record. For some, winter is as full throttle as it always has been. In fact, in some parts of the world, winter is even more hellish than it’s ever been. For those of you craving that white stuff, here’s some pretty reminders of what you could have if you were in the right place.
