Verdel

As the leaves fall from the trees outside, I begin to daydream of the ways that I will keep warm this winter.

While browsing my favorite sites for interesting and new winter staples, I came across London based Verdel.

What caught my eye about this collection of hats, turbans and gloves is the fact that they are a stylish alternative to your typical cashmere beanie/skull cap; and that the long gloves are perfect for layering under short-sleeve coats and this season's amazing capes; plus, the gloves are also ideal for me as I prefer to go fingerless when shooting street style in the cold.

So, you can imagine that I didn't waste a minute in contacting Verdel to place an order. AND they were kind enough to send me a few styles to help me pick out a favorite.

And on first contact, I was a fan. These hats and gloves are knitted with some of the softest cashmere I've ever experienced. And, the hats and turbans totally hold up their shape so you don't have to be bothered with readjusting throughout wear. More time looking and feeling hot, less time fiddling! :-) Hey, check them out if you are in search of a luxuriously soft and warm solution for protecting yourself from the cold this winter.

baby lace

From the runway to the pavé and cobble stone streets of Milan and Paris, lace proved that it is not to be taken delicately this season. ADR, Caroline, Shala, and the adorably preggers Miroslava Duma are a testament to its allure. Miroslava is radiant in this black multi-tiered mini. Also, love her straw hat and beaded headband combo. Very sweet.

and speaking of headdresses

My previous post reminded me of this pic of Julia that I took the other day. Her scarf and hair clip are so lovely together. She picked up the scarf at a Chinese market and the clip is from H&M. The combination is so chic!

P.S., After my previous post, I decided that I like headdress better than headgear.
