I don't normally like patterns on much of anything. This goes for clothing, bedding and just about everything else. I usually go for solids all the way. However, when I saw this afghan, I was immediately drawn to it. The colors and hexagonal shapes work together that warms my senses. They remind me of some of the patterns in Gustav Klimt's works. They would also work quite well with any room filled with deep solids. (Such as my living room). Created from soft, marled lambswool yarns, it comes in the pictured Spice Multi, or the more muted Pastel Multi. My vote is for the more vibrant Spice. (via garnethill.com)

Michael Kors Coat with Clips

First to recommend

Description

This wool-blend coat by Michael Kors is almost a double for a pea coat. Then again there are cleaner lines and accenting silver clips for closure, where ordinary large buttons would be. Chic, short and made for layering. (via zappos.com)

Ugg Coquette

First to recommend

Description

I found these in black at Zappos.com and since I had a discount coming due to a previous order, I bought them. I immediately washed my feet and slipped them on and oh am I impressed! The sheer comfort and softness is amazing! I have always looked at Uggs and because most styles aren't particularly my thing, I have easily passed them up. Also, the price instantly turned me off. However, the Coquette at less than $100, for inside or outside wear gave me pause as a slipper/casual for late Fall and Winter. I'm glad I gave them a chance! You should, too! (I bought the waterproofing spray, too.) (via zappos.com)

Ugg Shearling Slippers

First to recommend

Description

I believe I've said it before in a recommendation, but Uggs aren't usually at the top of my list when it comes to shoes. These would be an exception! If only they came in black! I can also think of a favorite friend of mine that would be very much at home in a pink pair of these.

They would be incredibly warm, as they are lined in shearling. Are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, which I love. They also have great rugged, lugged soles, instead of wimpy ones that slippers traditionally have. Man, what isn't to love? Except for the fact that they don't come in black... (via garnethill.com)

J. Crew Cashmere Hoodie

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I seriously dig on the feel of cashmere. Who doesn't? I also love hoodies. J. Crew has combined the two into a fine product. They aren't the first, of course, but this is a very nice item they have come up with. And it better be for the price ($188). Soft, luxurious Italian cashmere from a world-famous Italian mill in a fine 12-gauge knit. Rib trim at neck, cuffs and hem. Slit pockets. Sounds pretty good, huh? There are several different colors to choose from as well. Which is a good thing, because I don't care for the "doo doo brown" depicted here. (via jcrew.com)

Salomon Snowclog 3 (Black) - Women's

First to recommend

Description

I'm not jumping up and down about these shoes/clogs, but when I think of the icy, sloppy winter weather that we have around here, sadly, fashion cannot be my first concern. Luckily, I do like weird looking shoes. When it comes to finding a pair that is weather-proof and will help you stay on your feet, they are bound to look a little funky. These Salomon Snowclogs have an impressive list of features as far as winter wear go.

*Waterproof oiled nubuck leather upper.
*Heel foam for all-day cushioning.
*Soft textile lining.
*200 g. Thinsulate™ insulation and a synthetic fur lining keep your feet warm in frigid conditions.
*Cupsole rubber midsole for support.
*Die cut EVA sockliner for cushioning.
*Non-marking Contagrip® rubber outsole has a mix between density, compounds, and geometry in order to optimize grip and durability.

I look for shoes that will keep my feet dry and comfortable. As well as ones that will keep me from falling on my ass as temperature dip, and things ice up. If they look cool or funky, that is a huge bonus. (via zappos.com)

UGG Australia 'Cargo III' Boot with Pocket - Fall 2008 Trunk Show

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I am having a less than negative reaction to these boots. Not positive, let's not get crazy or anything but these boots do remind me of a pair of Camper boots that I love. My Camper boots looks like a cat; ears, tail and all. Anyways, back to the Uggs. These are more structured and less sloppy than your average Ugg and they have a sweet pocket.
