Now that the weather has really turned this season, its time to break out my Brookes Boswell Reinette hat for days wet, chilly, and windy. I love this one in Loden especially with its kiss of black leather cord. Made in the USA of gorgeous and durable felted wool.
Postcard from... The North Country Vermont
Before you start to plan your annual peak foliage sojourn to New England consider the North Country of Vermont. Just this side of Canada, rural New England life hums away in what can only be thought of as a time long gone. Home to small villages, rambling farms, mountain lakes and some of the worlds best small batch cheeses, beers, ciders, and sundry items, you will want to stay a while. An easy ride from NYC up i95 to i91 you’ll really start to relax somewhere just south of Northampton MA, and will want to start contacting real estate agents by the time you hit Brattleboro.
Lusting After... Everyday Oil

So when I tried Face + Body + Hair by Everyday Oil it became my go to product when packing light. This multitasking oil is plant-based, designed to work well for hair, skin, and face. As if that were not miracle product enough, it can also be used as a makeup remover, face wash, and moisturizer every day! And because the love keeps coming, this oil contains no artificial ingredients, paraben, petrochemical and wait for it… is cruelty-free.
