Sometimes we need a little mystery in our lives to spice things up. I’m not saying you’ve got to bust out the Agatha Christie novels or anything (although, come to think of it, that sounds pretty nice right about now!), but every now and then a little curiosity can go a long way. Since it’s […]
We’ve got a lot more winter ahead of us, and it’s important to stay warm. Unfortunately, ears, ankles, and toes have the misfortune of being overlooked when bundling up for a snowy afternoon. More often than not, one realizes her ears are bright red and throbbing from the cold after an hour braving the sparkling January tundra. It’s […]
One of my favorite things to do in the wintertime is to go outside at night and look at the stars. Of course, that’s fun to do all year round, but there’s something about the extra quiet of a winter night that makes the experience all the more magical. It’s a great technology-free way to […]
I’ll be honest: I have a love-hate relationship with gloves. On the one hand, cold fingers are the bane of my existence, and this is coming from a gal who’s constantly freezing. On the other hand, I hate how clumsy I feel when I’m wearing gloves or mittens—you can’t open things, you can’t use your […]
Pom-poms, big or small, are a trend I’ve seen popping up everywhere lately. A knit or crochet hat is an adorable way to accessorize during winter, and unlike most trends, this one is appropriate for men, women, and children alike! It helps that they’re usually pretty toasty, too, making them perfect for winter—not like those […]
If you’ve been too busy to really start thinking about your Christmas gifting, you’re not alone. It always seems like Christmas Eve is the busiest day of the shopping season at the malls near my house—I know this because I’m always waiting in line with everyone else, panicking because I waited until the last minute […]
Let’s face it: as much as I love the idea of gearing up with a slouchy hat in the fall and winter, I can’t stand the staticky hat hair that always comes after taking it off again. There’s nothing worse than showing up to work or wherever you’re going only to be stuck with a […]
I’ll be honest: I’m a procrastinator. As organized as I try to be, as much as I plan and schedule things out, I’m always caught off-guard by how quickly time passes. This happened to me with fall this year—I had big plans to assemble my cold-weather wardrobe BEFORE it actually got cold outside, but here […]
It seems that wherever you go to get food, there’s something pumpkin-flavored this time of year: lattés, pancakes, donuts. This got me thinking—pumpkins aren’t JUST for cooking or carving. They also make for some adorable fall crafts! Nothing says “autumn decor” like a plump orange pumpkin decoration adorning your mantle or in the center of […]
When you think of knitting, you usually think about the classics: thick, cozy afghans and adorable baby booties perfect for the winter season. What people don’t always remember, though, is that knitting can actually be just the skill you need to turn your closet from drab to fab! To celebrate knitting’s fashion-forward abilities, we’re sharing […]
