1. THE COAT

“One of my favorite parts about creating outfits in the winter is finding ways to make myself pop in a crowd. Wearing brightly patterned coats and sweaters gives me some pep in my step.”

The Series “Geo” puffer coat, $540, Ouimillie.

2. THE SCENT

“The season isn’t complete without the smell of Christmas trees and cinnamon. I love to have a scented candle around to keep that holiday feeling fresh.”

OKcollective Candle Co. “Winter Pine” candle, $26, Olives & Grace.

3. THE BLING

“This ring is delicate enough to slide under gloves, but has a big personality. The contrast of shapes and blend of colors is as spontaneous as I like my dancing to be on stage.”

Rosedale Jewelry “Tempo” 14-karat-yellow-gold ring with gemstones, $1,128, Ore.

4. THE SKIN CARE

“Boston Ballet typically has 35 to 45 shows of The Nutcracker. Having to apply and remove stage makeup, along with Boston’s sometimes-vicious winter winds, makes it important for me to keep my skin hydrated.”

“Dewlux Face Kream,” $80, Skoah.

5. THE SHOES

“I have a soft spot for brands that use recycled materials for their products. This Rothy’s style is on my wish list for cozy comfort during the holidays.”

“The Driver” slip-on loafer, $185, Rothy’s.
