more toil and trouble to keep me warm

by k.obrien jewelry on February 21, 2012

Back in January I gushed over some mitts made by Ana of Toil and Trouble. I've since gotten another piece from her that I barely take off. This lovely grey vegan cowl.
It was love at first sight. Our apartment was nice and cozy {even tank top warm} but I was hooked on this new cowl so I wore it about.

Another day I paired it with my favorite mustard colored cardigan and this sweet little barrette by Alison of Sew Mary Ann. Come to think of it, this is a uniform for me. I'm not sure when I am not wearing this.

happy tuesday!

the mean reds

by k.obrien jewelry on February 21, 2012

If you've seen Breakfast at Tiffany's you'll know what I mean when I say I've been getting the 'mean reds' lately. This little face always seems to soothe me.

Morning cuddles help start the day on a lighter note.


And couch cuddles make the reds less red.


And the dangling lip just melts my heart.

what gets you out of the mean reds?
