Wool & Leather Cozy

January 5, 2021

I’m keeping cozy in neutral wool & leather with a side of Scandi chic to get through the dreariest months of weather ahead. Early January feels like the greyest stretch – the holidays are over and the warmth of Spring feels eons away. Still, there are delights to find this month. I’m usually quite stingy with my favourite knits – I try not to wear them too often to avoid pilling and avoid needing to launder them. After all, hand washing cashmere and wool is nothing if not a nightmare. But in order to brighten these dark days, I’m reaching for and layering my softest and most expensive knits whenever I feel like it. And in reflection, how insane is that… to limit how often you wear your favourite things?!

Thankfully, my favourite knit of the season is an absolute steal. So much so, that I bought it in multiple colours! And because the price point is so low, I never feel guilty wearing it as often as I please. The boxy fit and draped shoulders make it oversized perfection, and I love pairing it with leather trousers as I have here, or even with leggings around the house. Even better, it’s one sale, so BRB… I’m going to buy it in grey, too.

Friday 🤍 What are we doing for the first weeken Friday 🤍 What are we doing for the first weekend under the stay-at-home order, friends? My one trip out will be to stock up on necessities - this month I’m trying to shop from local businesses only during the lockdown. My meticulous trip itinerary creation from years past is certainly useful now that I’m planning a route for multiple curbside pickups.

Had to share one more from this fireplace vignette at @mintroomstudios because I love it so much.
How are your resolutions going? ✨ I’d been off How are your resolutions going? ✨ I’d been off to such a promising start until yesterday... despite my best intentions, I woke up late, skipped half my morning routine, and the day ended with doom scrolling on Twitter, watching endless Bravo in bed and letting work get under my skin. 🙈 Feeling so badly about it this morning, but trying to use this as a reminder of why I set these intentions in the first place.
▫️I feel better when I take care of myself by eating well, exercising and limiting social media. Healthy habits aren’t restrictive, they’re freeing.
▫️ Making a clear distinction between personal and work time ultimately helps me be more effective and present for both.
▫️ Bravo and wine in bed is totally great, so long as it’s followed by tea and reading, or dinner and a meaningful conversation the next nights.

✌🏻 Here’s to doing better today and sending the same encouragement to you all if you need it too.

Oooof, this week. 🙈 2021 is off to a challengi Oooof, this week. 🙈  2021 is off to a challenging and heavy start, and I imagine we’re all feeling it. Still, I’m v. grateful for the new page and all the days ahead. So far, I’m actually sticking to my resolutions: Reading more ✔️ Conscious consumption of food, news and social ✔️ Moving my body ✔️ Setting boundaries ✔️

Hope you are all holding onto yours still. Some of my friends have been sending such sweet texts this week as I think we’re all just feeling the need for a bit more warmth and love right now, so with this post I’m sending the same to all of you. Hope your weekend is beautiful and restorative. ✨
Appreciation post for THE boots. 🖤 Ever since I Appreciation post for THE boots. 🖤 Ever since I posted about them in the fall, I feel like my DM’s have just become a giant love fest surrounding these guys with so many of you who love them too. Equal parts sock and Chelsea boot, they automatically make any outfit feel cooler and they’re basically the only thing getting me through winter! I don’t think I’ve loved a cheap pair of shoes this much since my first pair of plastic princess heels as a kid.
Is everyone else in the chunky boot fan club this winter? 🙌🏻
