I realized recently (specifically, when I was putting this beret on my big head) that berets look cooler when you don’t pull them down all the way. That way, you have the whole je ne sais quoi thing going on. But when you’re in Indiana in February, not Paris in the springtime, hats serve an actual function, and you have to make some compromises. So this was my pink poofy compromise.

Sweater + boots season is in full swing over here. Sweater + boots can get boring if you don’t switch it up sometimes with an unexpected shape or color, and that’s how a chartreuse oversized knit came into my life.

This time of year can be brutal, but I’m focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel – and by “light” I mean wine, because in a few weeks we head to Napa! I may still be wearing sweater + boots there, but it’s likely to be merely chilly instead of frigid, and chilly isn’t bad when you’re gazing at vineyards and mountains, vino in hand. 🙂

Anyone been to the Napa Valley and have a favorite spot? Please share! We’ll also be in San Francisco for a couple days and would welcome food recommendations.

Stay toasty out there, friends.
