When I first started watching the television series Outlander, the first thing I noticed were all the great chunky knits that the characters wear. I’m sure it’s rather cold in Scotland, and even though the series began in the summertime, I was already longing for fall just by looking at all the wraps and cowls […]
Now that January is in full swing, you might be feeling like you need to refresh your winter wardrobe.

Now that the Black Friday ads are coming out and the radio stations are starting to play Christmas tunes, we can focus on the holidays and no one can say we’re too early! It’s always been tradition in my family to get our Christmas tree the last weekend in November. Sure, the needles are always […]
Confession time: as much as I adore autumn, I always wait until the last minute to put together a Halloween costume. Every year around September I decide that dressing up just isn’t worth the hassle or the cost, but between Halloween parties, taking my younger relatives trick-or-treating, and feeling like a Scrooge handing out candy […]
We’re steadily making our way through autumn now and I am feeling the chill! There are mornings where it’s way too hard to get out of bed knowing that all that awaits me is cold and gloom. The only thing that makes it a little better is knowing that I’ve got a closet full of cozy […]
