Winter Ruins Outfits- Product Review

So six more weeks of winter huh? Or four-ish by now. I have my regular outfit posts, but the thing I cannot show you is the multitude of layers I have to wear on top to keep warm. And let me tell you, I have tried to research ways to look cute in the winter. Even my favourite bloggers don’t have the answers for me. People look cute, but then you go outside in ridiculous wind and blowing snow and you realize that a thin jacket with a bare neck and no hat is just not going to cut it. At this point, I have given up. Winter is a patchwork quilt of mittens and scarves, and so out I trek in a puffy coat and actual winter boots. And this super cute headband.


I have a friend who runs her own knitting company based in Montreal, Quebec. Darien Hamedani Knitting offers different types of hats, scarves, headbands, and as of recently, mittens as well. Check out the Facebook page, and you can enquire about the prices. I opted for the headband because I thought it would be the perfect solution for my winter chill. I have been doing my hair for real and instead of covering it up with a hat, the headband keeps my ears warm without ruining my hair. I chose white so it would go with any coloured scarf I decided to wear that day, but I was offered any coloured I wanted. All in all, I have been loving this headband. It feels so good to give to small businesses. I am considering getting a scarf to add to my collection. Everything is very well priced, and knowing it came from someone who values quality it is even better. Plus, it gave my sister and me a great excuse to go into a forest and take pictures.

If you’re looking for well-priced winter accessories to keep warm, I am suggesting checking out Darien’s work. It is of good quality, and it supports small business. It’s a win-win situation!

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an i...

Copycat the Cool Way #2

I admit that I am a little late with this post. Things have been insane school-wise so I haven’t been keeping up to date with all my posts. Or anything for that matter. Plus, I got a new phone and I had to figure out how to get all the pictures from my old phone on to my laptop. Ugh. The following blurb is an imitation of my brain: duibqieufbijenwcijaaiojcfpo wijojndwqioNQIOENFONIONICQNINQ/ what? Descriptive right? Bear with me, I’m pre-writing a couple posts while I’m focused on blogging. I got you covered. Monday- Probably my favourite pants ever. They’re super comfy, but it can be tough to style them. I took the inspiration from a picture from a magazine (I think it might have been Glamour). It was also a spring day in Canada (did not last long), so I wanted to keep it cool temperature-wise. I have a blue cardigan that I typically wear instead of the scarf. Also, rainboots. Buy rainboots. They are the best for the icky, slushy, melty weather that is just around the corn...
