theres nothing i love more than curling up on a wintry evening with a mug of hot tea and a half-read book. december for me means cooking lots of hearty stews, mulled cider, and relishing the simple comforts of home.

what about you – how do you hibernate?
Aaaah! I love that Isabel Marant sweater. Why u enable me? No but seriously, I've been looking for a Fairisle sweater for a while now and the IM sweater looks beautiful except it has 13% polyester... not cool.
ReplyDeletei'm against synthetics in general as well, but in this case it's a small part of the knit blend, so it doesn't detract from the knit for me. tho a major peeve of mine is knitwear with ample % of acrylic :P
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've got that Le Creuset pot! I had no idea it was called a dutch oven. I actually prefer them in blue, but we were gifted the red one so I guess we have to continue buying red ones now ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been hibernating in the most delicious manner this weekend. My little sister came to visit on Thursday, and we have been eating chocolate, buying Christmas presents and watching Harry Potter movies ever since.
Also, I think I might be the only girl in the blogosphere who's never owned a Diptyque candle!
haha ours is honestly the most-used item in the kitchen! your weekend sounds heavenly!
DeleteExcept for the shoes and the IM sweater, I would happily take any of the items on that gift list. Winter turns me into such a homebody :)
ReplyDeleteI hibernate in bed, watching old movies or favourite tv shows. I catch up on my reading, magazines, blogs, and books. And I use an oil burner with sandalwood oil, which makes my room smell wonderful.
oooh sandalwood is one of my favorite scents. i need to get some scented candles this week!
DeleteLovely gift guide! I have the LeCreuset pot too, in cream, and it's a much used item in our house:) My husband and I hibernate under blankets in the living room, with a fire in the fireplace drinking tea or sharing a bottle of wine, watching movies or just listening to music or talk. And there's always a lot of candles:)
ReplyDeleteours was a gift from a dear friend - and one of the best gifts ever!
DeleteMy hibernation has recently begun and I'm using my Le Creuset pot more than ever. Since I can't share my biggest essential (my cat) I'm giving all my friends little tea pots and tins of homemade chai for the bleak January that follows.
ReplyDeletehehehe - cats ARE essentials, i love your gift idea!
Deletewoah this gift guide is SO my style! i DIED over the french press - makes me want to throw away my bodum and replace it with this one. what a beauty!
