We get used to the warm weather in Los Angeles so when temperatures dip below 35 degrees we not only shiver, we panic.  Being from NYC I still have a closet full of coats, scarves and gloves, but that doesn't mean I want to necessarily wear them. So while the temps slowly rise we share our Friday Favorites with ways to stay warm.

Alison's Pick

Kate Spade "Girl About Town" wool scarf, $148 Kate Spade

Ok, the scarf is pricey, but just seeing the layout of my hometown of NYC comforts me. It's colors are also neutral enough so I can wear this scarf with multiple items in my wardrobe. Since it's a lightweight scarf and I now live in LA, it appears to be the lifestyle to wear a scarf about 12 months a year so the cost per wear ratio makes the price of this scarf worth it.

Leather Peek-A-Boo Bow Gloves, $11 Target

With temperatures dropping to East Coast cold, my fingers and hands freeze in the morning on the way to school. Lately, I've been slipping on a pair of stylish gloves that help keep my fingers from turning blue. I love these red gloves from Target because of the super cute bow and the bold red color. Plus, they were on sale, who doesn't love a good bargain!

Lauren's Pick

Cat Scarf, $40 Topshop

Icy on Tuesday; blazing on Wednesday. This weather is unpredictable, but one thing's for certain during flu season: if can't stay on top of the weather, you're sure to fall under it. I like to keep a scarf on me, just in case, because it's easy to toss in my bag when it's warm, and wrap around my neck and chest when it's chilly. And with this cat scarf, I feel like I'm taking kitty snuggles where ever I go! Take that, flu season!

Mocha Rose Lip Balm, $8 Amazon

A cold weather must is keeping my lips moisturized! Otherwise they get super dry, chapped, look gross with lipstick, and yuck who wants to kiss that?! Over the years, I have become a sorta lip balm connoisseur of types and my all time favorite is mocha rose lip balm. It's made by the same people who make the cult fave rosebud salve, but I love the rich flavor/scent of this one much more. It leaves my lips moisturized, but without the shine or waxy feeling that other balms have.

Numi Organic Flowering Gift Tea Set, $23 Amazon

In case you haven't noticed, the weather outside is frightful, but this tea is so delightful! Have any friends that are tea-lovers, coffee-haters, or just love a mug of warmth this time of year? This is the perfect gift for them. It comes with a glass teapot and 6 Numi Tea Blossoms, all packed in a nice Mahogany Bamboo chest.

Chromo Iphone Battery Case, $15 Amazon

When it comes to last minute gifts, something practical and unique is the way to go. Find an item that they can use often to make their life a little easier. My last minute gifts this year revolved around technology. Since most people in my life stay practically chained to their phone, an extra battery is helpful to have on hand. This battery case is great for those go-getters and busy bees in your life. You can snag one of these savvy cases at most major retailers or Amazon. And you can get it with enough time to wrap it and put under the tree!

Street Swag

This Friday Favorites shares a mix of naughty and nice. A sexy slip to wear under your clothes and accentuate your shape, a beat-the-heat spray to help keep your makeup in place, body butter for smooth skin and tiny tripod to take photos with your iPhone.

Joseline Slip from Agent Provocateur, $350

You Flirt!

This is a 10 on the sexy scale! Something as pretty as this underneath a dress will certainly give you a boost of confidence (& irresistibility), plus be a lovely surprise for your husband or boyfriend after hours. This slip streamlines your body, accentuates your curves and has a few small pink bows for girlish appeal. I'm imagining a nerdy guy right now looking at this saying, "Hubba, Hubba."

 Tiltpod mobile for iPhone available at Amazon.com, $15

I am obsessed with photography, especially on my iPhone! So this Tiltpod Mobile is definitely on the list to get immediately! It's a mini keychain tripod for your iPhone that tilts to capture your photos at almost every angle. This means for our upcoming trip, my husband and I can take photos that show that we are actually on vacation together.

Mac Fix+ available at Amazon, $23.50

With this ongoing heat in LA, my face has been taking a beating from the sun. I use the MAC Fix+ to help freshen my face and restore moisture. The spray has chamomile, green tea and cucumber that is infused with vitamins and minerals, the perfect mixture for a pick-me-up for your face! You can spritz it on after you finish your make-up and for those times in the day when you need to restore that cover girl glow.

Street Swag

Back yet again, gals and guys! Ready to start off the weekend with some fresh finds from a swingy skirt to a coffee cup that looks as wide eyed as you hope to be with a few sips. There's even a sneaker we discovered that, while not red, white and blue, we believe the 400 meter Olympic gold medalist, Sanya Richards-Ross would deem snazzy and stylish to race in or pull on as street wear.

Alison's Pick

ASOS.com skirts --Belted full midi skirt in bright pink, $51.09

I adore the shade of pink and this skirt is just the right length and shape to take a twirl and kick up my heels. Oh, you've seen me twist and shout? What!? You think I should be on Dancing with the Stars? Gosh, that's so sweet.  And this skirt would be perfect for swing or a rockin' with some Motown music.

Lauren's Pick

Morning mug from Generate, $29

Forget diamonds! In the morning, a nice, warm, coffee mug is a girl's best friend. Even better, here's a mug that wakes up with you! Pour in your hot coffee or tea and the mug changes from a sleepy face, to a face that's wide-eyed and ready to start the day. Just like you!! (hopefully...)

Brooks Mach 13 Spikeless Cross Country Running Sneaker, Amazon $60

Now watching the Olympics has only inspired me even more to get that gold medal worthy body. What better way than to hit the park with these light weight cheetah printed running shoes. Running may not be my favorite form of exercise but hey at least I'll look fierce doing it.

Natori Sheer Convertible Contour Tank Soft Cup Natori, $50

Alison's favorite last week got me thinking about finding a good bra. Why is a good bra such a hard thing to find? Here is my problem...! am a new mom who's breastfeeding, so it's even more difficult to get the perfect bra. My cup size went up (boo!), underwire isn't recommended because it can clog milk ducts (but I need lift & support now more than ever), and comfortable nursing bras look straight out of my grandma's brassiere drawer (great for sleeping, but umm forget about cute tops)!
