Here's why:
I was online window shopping last night and put together this list of items I want for winter. As far as I know, Santa Claus isn't following my blog yet, so wish me luck with this.
Clock-wise from top:
The Women's Diez Jacket from Patagonia $299.00 It's an ultra lightweight, down-insulated puffer jacket, with enough tailoring to prevent you from looking like a marshmallow.
16-channel Walkie-Talkie Watches ($43.90) keep you connected with your ski-buddy on the slopes, or James Bond your getaway driver. Wouldn't you kick yourself if you met James Bond and DIDN'T have walkie-talkie watches? I would.
Knitted in Scotland, this Fox Scarf by Donna Wilson is a £46.00, 100% snuggly lambswool stole without the stink-eye from PETA. Available in orange and grey, I want, want, want one.
Fun rain boots are not just for kids! These Sperry Top-Sider Shearwaters in brown and Tattersall are at the top of my list. Waterproof, lace-up and with wet/dry traction, form follows foot function in these cutie booties.
Finally, The Beardcap from Icelandic knitting factory Vik Prjonsdottir. With two styles of beardcaps (the farmer, and the gentleman- I'm more of a gentleman, thank you) I've never wanted full-facial coverage so badly before. $135.00 in white, black, and brown from Scandinavian Grace.
Hey! I found a pair of those boots in tan/blue at a thrift store last May for $10, in my size! I thought my brother was going to AK for work and gave them to him, but he didn't so they're mine!
ReplyDeleteWill have to look into those wrist-walkie talkies
Nice score! Can you find me a knitted mustache or felted fox scarf? :) <3
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is rad! I'm all about the fur alternatives. :) Do you ever read McSweeney's? There's a super sweet and sad story called "Fox 8" about a fox that learns to read English and visits a shopping mall. And that's neither here nor there, but there you go.
ReplyDeleteOooh. I'll have to look for that! I subscribed to The Believer for years! Love McSweeney's. I'll have to look for Fox 8. Am I wrong/obsessed or does that scarf also have a bit of a Fox Confessor look about it? :)
