There’s a reason why Bloomingdale’s has been inundated with acclaim for decades. The big-button retailer has completely revolutionized the shopping experience — allowing bow-topped boxes and prized products to be more accessible to shoppers nationwide.
As for the New York Post Shopping team, there’s nothing quite like embarking on a Bloomie’s shopping spree in the winter months — especially with your laptop, a cozy blanket and an on-the-sofa scroll.
“Bloomingdale’s is a great place to shop for wintertime items since we offer such a wide range of product,” Arielle Siboni, fashion director, ready-to-wear (RTW) and kids at Bloomingdale’s, exclusively told the New York Post. “The customer can curate their cold weather wardrobe with fair-isle sweaters, cozy boots and wool coats, while also picking up a ski suit and a great holiday party outfit.”
What’s more, Siboni told The Post that Bloomingdale’s customers are looking for “cozy sweaters, chic wool coats, boots for everyday wear, blazers and wide leg denim” above the rest this season.
Now, we have a treat for you — we asked the Bloomingdale’s team exactly this question: “What are the hottest wintertime items to shop for?” And boy, did they deliver.
What’s more, we hand-picked some of our favorites to add to the list below (because, after all, we couldn’t resist).
We must highlight the phenomenal, must-have wintertime grab first and foremost: the Bloomingdale’s 25-Day Beauty Advent Calendar.
“This is the ultimate gift for the beauty lover in your life,” Marissa Galante Frank, fashion Director for accessories and beauty at Bloomingdale’s, told The Post. “From Augustinas Bader to Le Labo, this advent calendar has the best of the beauty assortment at Bloomingdale’s.”
Oh, and did we mention this formulation-filled box (the prettiest box we’ve seen, BTW) has an $800 value?! Talk about a snag worth making.
” I have had my eye on this coat; it’s warm and cute, which checks all the boxes I need for morning school drop off with my kids,” Siboni notes, recommending this premier style.
Not to mention, this jacket is a perfect gift for all of the moms in your life, thanks to its plush, collared style.
“During the winter months it is so important to keep our skin hydrated,” Frank notes, providing the advice we stand behind 24/7. “This face mask from Augustinus Bader keeps your skin bright, hydrated and lifted — and can be left on overnight.”
Not to mention, this luxury splurge just so happens to be one of our favorite nighttime rituals (and we haven’t looked back since).
We can’t stop glossing over the Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box — a dream come true for any beauty lover this holiday season. Rest assured you’ll have the skincare and makeup stock-up just in time for the new year (or, well before).
Stunning gold travel kit aside, you’ll find the Advanced Génifique Serum, Advanced Génifique Eye Cream, Absolue Soft Cream, Tonique Confort, Holiday Eye & Face Palette, L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Exotic Orchid, Lash Idôle Mascara, Cils Booster XL Primer, Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover and La Vie Est Belle fragrance.
To access this kit, you must spend $42 or more on a Lancôme purchase, and then you’ll unlock this vault with a $588 value.
“Diptyque’s newest candles are refillable, making them the perfect gift for anyone on your list who is both chic and sustainable,” Frank said. “I also love this as a host or hostess gift for a ski weekend.”
Its key notes include ylang-ylang essence, vanilla absolute and jasmine absolute — a true dream, if we’ve ever spotted one.
According to Siboni, the Birkenstock Women’s Boston Shearling Clogs are “the ultimate winter essential!” With its legendary, comfort-driven aesthetic and multiple shades to choose from, we surely agree.
“Part shoe, part slipper Bostons are perfect for throwing on to run a quick errand and look cute with everything from jeans to sweatpants!” she highlights.
Textured and beach-inspired, the NAGHEDI St. Barths Medium Woven Tote is the ideal wintertime purchase to remind you of warm and carefree days ahead. Not to mention, it’s ideal for your next weekend getaway.
“The must have bag on everyone’s list should be the Naghedi woven neoprene tote,” Frank shares. “Not only is this bag perfect for everything from the beach to the office but it’s made of neoprene which is easy to clean and virtually indestructible.”
As far as wintertime shopping grabs at Bloomingdale’s go, the SAM. Valentina Mixed Media Zip Jacket is one the brand has told us to look out for. This outerwear staple is the perfect marriage of the weather-resistant puffer style and sherpa fleece collared throw-ons we love — and it’s also available in black aside from this snowy white shade.
“MFK’s signature scents are always a popular holiday gift, and this rose scented candle at under $100 is the perfect hostess gift that wont break the bank,” Siboni notes, recommending what has to be the most chic and glamorous candle we’ve ever seen.
It’s a top choice for lovers of velvety, sweet-smelling scents, as this candle features top notes of rose and plum jam.
“This flat from female founded business, Larroude, is both comfortable and chic!” Frank notes, highlighting the on-trend pair. “The Mary Jane is a huge trend this season and will continue to be important as we head into spring.”
The pair comes in an array of investment-worthy neutrals to suit your wardrobe and particular aesthetic, too.
Have you seen a more beautiful slow cooker? Simply put, there’s nothing quite like the GreenPan Elite Reserve Slow Cooker. With a beyond beautiful gold and black-embossed exterior and ceramic nonstick coating (which has a 6-quart hard-anodized, removable pot that’s dishwasher-safe, may we add), it’s the kitchen splurge to get to all those wintertime soups on your Pinterest board.
It’s time to splurge on the designer bag that infuses cozy charm and top-seal luxury into a must-grab carry-all that we’re adding to our wishlists as we speak. Siboni can’t stop raving about this dreamy pick, too.
“I am obsessed with this Saint Laurent shearling bag; it is chic, on trend and fits all your essentials,” she puts it simply. “This is the ultimate splurge for a special person in your life.”
Bloomingdale’s’ signature brand, AQUA, has a fabulous accessory perfect for your next holiday party. This sexy, modern take on the LBB (that’s little black bag, for short) is one that’ll garner plenty of compliments, too.
“At under $100 this mini bag packs a fashion punch!” Frank said, recommending the fashion pick-me-up. “Embellishment is always a fun way to mix texture and excitement into your holiday and NYE outfits.”
Sunday Citizen just so happens to be one of our favorite brands for all things cozy, and it’s braided throw is ideal to buy for yourself (#cozywintervibes all the way) or for a loved one this holiday season.
It’s available in a swarm of textured colors, boasts comfortable and breathable snug fabric and is ideal for all the movie nights you have in store when the temps drop.
“Everyone’s skin could use some extra hydration in the winter,” Siboni notes, recommending this luxury self-care essential. “This SKII mask is not only great for hydration but brightens and helps keep your skin soft during the winter months.”
Additionally, it has a soft and luxurious texture that’s generously soaked with the brand’s patented Pitera material for “maximum delivery to the skin,” per the brand.
What’s a wintertime shopping list without a well-made pair of snow-ready boots? Moon Boot Women’s Ltrack Tube Cold Weather Boots have to be some of the most stylish we’ve seen this season, complete with a rubber-coated, water-repellent upper for a comfortable, flexible fit.
“This style from moonboot has all of the warm weather qualities of the classic moon boot but is in a more streamlined minimalist silhouette — making it wearable for all occasions whether that is running around the city or hustling to school pickup,” Frank adds.
Cashmere throws have to be one of the most effortless, splurge-worthy pieces to pick up in the wintertime. That’s why we stand behind the C by Bloomingdale’s Cashmere Travel Wrap — a 100% exclusive option that comes in a dreamy suite of colors. Its season-spanning lightweight knit is a must-buy.
Dubbed “the perfect item to complete any outfit and a great splurge worthy gift for the woman in your life that already has everything,” by Siboni, the designer pair is one we have our eyes on, too. Offering 100% UV protection and some stylish glam, they’re a unique take on the classic aviators everyone is sporting.
And yes, you need sunglasses in the winter for protection (even when the sun is among the clouds) and to accessorize without a blink of an eye.
Meet the hair tool everyone’s talking about: the Dyson Special Edition Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long. It’s a must-have product for winter and beyond, complete with all the attachments to take your hair from drab to fab. Say it with us: add to cart.
If you’re jet-setting anywhere warm this winter (or, perhaps you’re traveling for the holidays), the New York Post Shopping team and Bloomingdale’s alike are all about the Bric’s BIY Ulisse 21″ Carry-On Expandable Spinner.
Both stylish and lightweight, it boasts a built-in TSA-approved lock, a zipper-lined interior and even a USB port to charge your phone. If that’s not enough to sell you, its four double swiveling wheels (with 360-degree rotation, may we add) and classic catalog of colors surely will.
“Esme is a favorite for kid’s pajamas,” Siboni notes, recommending the brand’s Girls’ Long Sleeved Top & Pants Pajamas Set. “They are super soft and stretchy, and come in the most fun prints.”
Oh, and for our nieces who are color obsessed with the color pink, this beauty-patterned offering is one we want to add to our carts.
Yes, Bloomingdale’s offers indoor pizza ovens, and this one from Cuisinart is the real deal. It’s a luxury grab for the lover of all things pepperoni- and cheese-topped, and it includes a pizza stone, pizza peel, deep dish pan and stone cleaning tool upon purchase.
With a large viewing window and interior light, it also holds true 12″ pizzas from 350 to 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Who can resist Uggs in this miniature size?” Siboni said, touting the acclaimed brand’s adorable fuzzy pair for little ones. “They are not only adorable but will keep tiny toes warm throughout the winter months.”
More, they feature a hook-and-loop strap closure and faux-sheepskin upper and lining to keep baby nice and warm.
We’re like the rest of you — Charlotte Tilbury-obsessed and dreaming of “Pillow Talk” at night. Now, you can pick up an all-in-one kit to have everything on deck this winter.
Upon purchase, you’ll receive the brand’s Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk Matte Revolution Lipstick, Lip Cheat Lip Liner, Pillow Talk Eyeliner and Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! Mascara in Super Black.
