Recently I've been coveting turtlenecks, nubby knits and blanket scarfs. Theory standing that a scarf large enough to wrap around and around until it's covering your ear lobes, can double as earmuffs, hat, and/or neck brace. The only fault with this is that it makes talking on the phone annoyingly difficult as you have to do this funny thing where you press the scarf down so it rolls up under your chin, and about every other word it starts scrunching up into your mouth. Any who, earlier this week I wore a turtleneck AND a scarf (that I have used as a blanket) together - injunction with a leather jacket, pants etc. Some snarky bystander on West Houston told me I needed a winter coat, but in all actuality I wasn't cold at all. When you're cloaked in all of your favorite things - how cold can you really be?

 Don't you feel warmer already?

"LOOK AT THOSE FINE FELLYS. I know,  you're out of breath. Hyperventilating. I know, I know exactly what you're thinking: They are the hybrid version of the Zara brogues that went on sale in July that I still regret not purchasing, melded with the Saint Laurent black and white penny loafers that live in la la la shoe heaven (heaven is a place on earth CC: Barneys). Did I mention they are a hybrid? We, (my feet and I) are ALL about being environmentally conscious, as these hail from ASOS for only $47.50. SO what do you think? Bada bing bada boom aren't they ba da beautiful?"
