Don’t stow away those winter essentials quite yet. Last week Punxsutawney Phil, the all-knowing groundhog who foresees winter’s duration, emerged from the soil and saw his shadow. More like a meteorologist than a rodent, the furry creature’s prediction: six more weeks of winter.
 

Snow could be in the forecast for Dallas today through the end of the week. So get that warm weather spring break destination off your mind, and pull out the necessities to battle the tail end of winter’s brutality.
 

Pile on the jackets, scarves, coats and boots because it’s going to be a cold one. The good news is that you still have time to rock the season’s hottest trends in this final stretch of chilly conditions.
 

Fur came forth full force this season. Faux leopard jackets, brightly colored minks and shaggy vests radiated rock star, while floor-length pelts and shrugs gave off an old Hollywood glamour. Last year feathers were spotted trimming dresses, but this year they appeared drenched on jackets like the black number Kate Moss sports.
 

Statement-making over-the-knee boots also starred as a winter trend this season. The bold boots feature a variety of styles from just over-the-knee flat riding boots like Nicole Richie hit the pavement in, to Rihanna’s high-heeled leather leggings that stretch all the way up the thigh. Showcase the luxe leather look with leggings, skinny jeans, mini skirts and dresses for a full effect.
 

If you’re really looking to turn heads pair both trends together in one ensemble like Khloe Kardashian. Fur plus thigh-high boots would seem a bit much, but the reality television star gets it right with classic jeans and a simple solid tee.
