She needs to be prepared with layers, a good set of hat, scarf, mittens (probably 3 sets since she's bound to lose probably all 3 sets by the end of her first winter), and a good pair of boots where fashion is not the thing. They don't have to be godawful, but winter boots with heels are just silly. Also, StaticGuard is your friend. And tights.
One item I wish I'd have known about back then was a good pashmina. Not a fancy silk one that can't be washed, but a good functional scarf that can be tied onto a bag, thrown over your shoulders, wrapped tight around your neck or even tied over your head when the weather turns from beautiful to cold and grey to outright blizzard.
