Baby It's Cold Outside Pt 1

Hello there lovelies,

If you've been stalking me for a while you might know that my favourite season is in fact Winter. I love the cold weather. I'm already counting down the days, and relishing that little bit of a cool twinge in the air. I'm quite ecstatic that I've already had to pull out my blankets for nighttime (even if the temperature is still hitting the mid-thirties during the day). I'm already living in anticipation of days spent wrapped up in blankets on the couch reading books with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. And so, I spend the days dreaming of my Winter wardrobe that is packed away & of all the wonderous Winter things I am yet to find. This is the first part of my Winter wishlist.

Winter Wishlist: Patterned Sweaters


I do love a good sweater. Good sweaters are the stuff that warm, snuggly dreams are made of. I love big, thick, chunky cableknit sweaters. I love kitsch printed sweaters, preferably handknitted by some eccentric member of the family. I love cute cropped sweaters. I love huge, oversized sweaters that hang to my knees & eclipse my hands with their long arms. I love scratchy sweaters, and sweaters that are so soft that you stand still in the shops to run them through your hands. This year must finally be the one where I come across the perfect "ugly", old man sweater - preferably with some kind of demonic teddy bear, squirrel or owl print.

Winter Wishlist: Colors & Prints

A new addition to the Winter must-have list this year - brightly coloured & printed pants. It makes me incredibly excited that colour doesn't seem to be disappearing from stores as Winter approaches this year! Black & grey year after year gets incredibly boring, and I for one, am embracing the multitude of colours & prints gracing Winter clothing this year. First on my list to accquire is a pair of mustard/yellow pants. Obviously, a mustard beanie & mustard coloured tights just aren't enough. Runners up in the colour/print race include floral pants, leopard print, jewel tones, red & anything in a rusty-orange colour.
Winter Wishlist: Beanies Galore

Oh, I'm so glad that I finally got my beanie collection out of storage! Beanies & knitted hats are probably my no-shopping kryptonite. I can never resist an adorable knit hat, no matter how large my collection is. I swear that they are also capable of multiplying - I give them away, and somehow the amount that I have never seems to decrease. I don't mind too much though, because I tend to wear beanies with everything, all of the time, until the middle of Summer when I risk dying of heatstroke if I wear them. Is it possible to have too many beanies? My answer is a resounding no.

Also, if it's not to much to ask, I'd love this pair to serenade me for the whole duration of Winter.

What's on your Winter wishlist this year?

Until next time, xo.
