{my cowl necklace + other things i’m obsessed with}

December 21, 2011 · 28 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, what I wore

so, a wee bit ago my friend jacqui and i decided to swap products. i sent her a Gussy wristlet + headband, she sent me 2 cowl necklaces {in orchid + blush}. and something weird happened — i can’t take them off. just like the cowl scarf i received from prairieologie. if i’m not wearing one i’m wearing the other!

i’m not sure what my problem is, but if something looks warm + cozy then i immediately flock to it. i think it’s this chilly minnesotan weather! {yes, i’ll blame that.}

other things i’m obsessed with lately: coffee, slippers, bauer {and his new haircut —wink!}, cooking yummy dinners, red nail polish, working in the dining or living room so i can stare at our christmas tree.

but i suppose these aren’t bad things to be take flock to, right? someone tell me this isn’t that big of a problem ;]

what things are you obsessed with? do tell!

PS. i’m linking up with Linds for What I Wore Wednesday!

    The cowl scarf is really pretty, do I get it. I always throw on a scarf right before I walk out my door, it like completes the outfit. But I don’t really wear them around the house just because I feel like my one year old is obsessed with them, that and long necklaces. And that’s really nice that you’ve been working where you can see your tree, soak in the holiday spirit!

    Gussy, have you discovered http://www.ravelry.com yet? I know you’re a knitter and crocheted now and that community shares a lot of amazing patterns by yarn type, skill level, etc. I’m working on some Mary Jane slippers for my Etsy shop launch in January and found patterns design by entrepreneurs that I can credit and link to in my shop info. If your looking for your next project it’s a great resource!

    This winter I’m drawn to hot chocolate with whipped cream. It’s become a problem. I’m allowed one mug a day and when the whip cream is gone that’s it, no running out to buy more!

    Definitely not a problem!
    I actually saw your cowl and really liked it. So, when I got a visa gift card I went and bought one in orchid! They are so cute and I bet I will have the same problem you do… I always tend to want to wear things like scarves every single day after I get them. This will be no different!

    I bought my sister the Prairieology necklace cowl too and I almost dont want to send it to her! But she’ll need it more than me, since I live in Florida and I am currently wearing SHORTS!

    I have a love for all things cozy, too! My current loves are: homemade moustache mug, my Christmas tree, looking at haircut ideas on Pinterest while drinking hot chocolate, NL Christmas Vacation, baking, washing my cozy scarf in Swavitel’s new lavender vanilla fabric softener (it smells soooo good all day). : ) Love this time of year!

    I’m obsessed with hot chocolate, sewing hand warmers and flannel pj pants. I have a Christmas tree in my basement that I enjoy while crafting.

    I’m feeling the same way! If it’s cozy-I’m wearing it, if it’s sweet- I’m eating it, if its warm and delicious-I’m drinking it and I can’t get enough of our Tree and streaming Christmas music. It’s just that time of year…. (not really, I am always like this except for the tree :P)

    Christmas time always brings out my go to addictions: egg nog, peppermint creamer, Queen Anne’s chocolate covered cherries (sinful, i know) and knitting. I love warm scarves around my neck, it just makes me feel cozy. Like you my spark for crocheting was ignited. I picked up a super cute pattern off Etsy.
