Pretty Scarves

I love scarves.

I love weather that legitimately encourages scarf-wearing.

Do you love scarves? If you do, and you could buy one of these, which one would it be?

Knit Cowl with Bow

Gold Lace Wool Scarf

Puckered Salutation Scarf

Poppy Red Wrinkled Scarf

Ditsy Floral Scarf in ivory

Global Girlfriend Darling Dots Scarf

Dotted Scarf in coffee

Baffled Box Scarf

Lace-trim Floral Scarf

And now I must ask, what do you think of this last scarf? I think it is creative in theory; however, I am not sure that even the Anthropologie model who wears the scarf in the photoshoot is ultimately able to make a fashionable statement. I do think it deserves a post, though.

Shrewd Stiches Scarf

Knitted Glove Goodness

This year, I have seen so many crocheted and cable-knit gloves cropping up all over the place. I love the trend, and I even added a pair to my Christmas list. Texture is what I like about these gloves, and my favorites are the ones with the wrist strap and button detail.

Which do you like best?

Purple fingerless gloves

Isabelle Abramson

We all know we can't afford a $475.00 decorative bowl.

However, we can admire and sigh at the loveliness of Isabelle Abramson's hand-crafted porcelain works. She lives in Boston, works as a nurse by day, and teaches herself porcelain crafting by night. She makes each piece individually with her own hands, and some are even gilded with gold, silver, or platinum. I personally prefer her pure-white pieces most, though. Take a look.

Coats & Jackets

Let's go on a pretend shopping trip! I really don't need any more coats, but cute and stylish fall and winter coats abound at this time of year, so let's just pretend, shall we?

Sunny yellow wool coat from L.wang.

Toast of the Town coat from Nick & Mo

Babylon coat by Runaway Pony

Foliage Finder jacket by Anthropologie

The Fontaine Jacket by Little Houses

Wool Crowd Style Coat by The Simpson

Ada Coat by Little Houses

Harvested Honey coat by Anthropologie

Gumdrop Detective coat, at Modcloth.com

This one tops the chart at $745.00, but we're pretending, right?

Any of these coats with one of these bags would be perfect, don't you think?

Well, I think that's enough shopping for one day. Perhaps we'll go shoe shopping next!
