Vanessa Jackman We start the new year thinking ahead - imagine all the wonders we will accomplish in 2014 - so the idea of "wardrobe refreshers," as fashion retailers like to call them, makes total sense. Here are a few such refreshers, to help you through a frightful winter and to enjoy later, too. Sweaters for Both Winter and Spring A new sweater that will brighten your winter look, but one you can dream about wearing with cutoffs or a long, floaty skirt next summer, is just the thing for maintaining perspective through these wicked cold days. Layer one of these on now, with a turtleneck or thermal shirt underneath and a warm blazer. Come spring, it will become your constant companion. Gold That Gleams All Year Long Paula Mendoza gold-plated triangle necklace, $750, and ring with polished raw emeralds, $375, at anthemwares.com. Paula Mendoza was a journalist in Colombia when she began her namesake jewelry collection. She carefully honed her craft, and today she travels between New York, where she lives, and Bogotá, where her statement-making pieces are produced. Made with 24-karat yellow gold and raw emeralds from Colombia, they invoke the craziness of the city and the wildness of the jungle. Seductive snakelike rings and bracelets, necklaces in jangling triangular shapes and chunky rings with raw emeralds are all very chic and speak of a life spent traveling well - perfect to have on as you plan your next escape. Pick-Me-Ups for the Boot-Weary Chelsea Paris snakeskin and pony-hair sandals, $595 at Barneys New York; barneys.com. Theresa Ebagua, who was born in Nigeria and raised in Britain, had a successful career in computer science before yielding to her passion for footwear. She studied in Milan and worked with artisanal shoemakers in Italy, then introduced what is now the up-and-coming Chelsea Paris label, named for her two daughters. Now in its first season at Barneys, the collection, inspired by 1920s Art Deco design and African culture, jumps out at you as soon as you step off the escalator. Pumps in vibrant colors or graphic black and white, sexy lace-ups and these sandals with dot-print pony-hair heels are feminine, modern and easy to wear. A Splurge That Will Last Through Summer Cutler and Gross sunglasses with a metal bridge and circular lenses, $500 at Cutler and Gross, 110 Mercer Street; cutlerandgross.com. Sunglasses are shockingly easy to splurge on, so if you're going to binge, best to do it right. Last spring, Cutler and Gross, the luxury British eyewear label, opened its first store in the United States, in SoHo. The shop is a mecca of more than 4,000 styles, some dating as far back as 1969. Last fall, it introduced its bespoke service, whereby you can search the archives for frames and acetates to create a one-off pair. They start at $950 and can take 12 weeks to make - yes, this is splurgy. More sensibly, pick a pair at the shop, like these inspired by "90s Seattle grunge.
