Three words.. I love it!
there is something new in my life keeping me warm… a baby growing in my belly! this little one makes my heart beat faster and my body temperature higher – literally keeping me warm. it also fills my heart with an unbelievable fullness that is warmer than any mug of tea, woolly mittens, or fireside seat can provide. which isn’t to say that i wouldn’t love this pretty little larry to keep me warm too…
my two beautiful boys and my furry persian husband of course…
Vancouver B.C. has the most amazing seasons. Fall being one them.
With the crisp, cool air that fills the days and nights, I’m always looking for new ways keep warm.
However, I find that the best things in life that keep you warm, are often the simplest.
There is nothing like a sipping a hot tea or a smooth single malt Whiskey, while wrapped up in a blanket with a blazing fire.
The only thing that tops that for me is being in the heat of the moment, with my lover on a fo bear skin rug (creating friction), which in-turn creates a substantial amount of heat and sweat.
Now that’s not just warm… that’s hot! ;)

So many things come to mind when I think of warmth..
-a house full of family
-homemade veggie soup simmering on the stove
-watching movies under my down quilt
-being bundled up with a toque,scarf and wool coat and walking along the water with my hubby

Beer! And lots of it!
(I want this. I like scarves.)
Hot roibos tea and my vintage hudsons bay blanket
I like layers to keep me warm! Layers of socks, layers of shirts and layers of blankets. When my kitty likes me she becomes a layer that I pet, and when my lover is home I wrap myself up in his arms and legs!
I also love hot baths, and when I can afford the odd splurge I love steams and saunas but those are rare!
When it comes to warmth in the great outdoors nothing beats a good night of ice skating
with hot chocolate and baileys and my new Larry shawl!!
Things that keep me warm include a steaming latte with JJ Beans in a mug at my desk, fleece lined Tom’s slippers and scarves & sweaters for fall walks & rides. Taking a good photograph, remembering a moment. The golden morning light shining on our breakfast table and knowing love. Looking at the new collection from lovely Dace.
Remembering the past and dreaming of the future, with wool, and whisky.
looking strangers in the eyes and smiling. that keeps me warm.
COFFEE!!! oh. & stealing other peoples body warmth.
At the moment, bomber style religion jacket with matching religion biker style cross-zip sweater, raw naked and famous denim, high-lace leather boots with back zipper, and a filipa k hood-scarf, for good measure. leather gloves, when they need to come out.
now i want a spanish latte…look what you did!
I keep warm by laughing. Laughing at: the way my baby is discovering the world, my girlfriends wonderful insights over wine or tea, my husband buying flowers that match the couch (not for his wife), great blogs, dogs and books(currently Dave Sedaris). I mix the above with a great sweater and slippers and voila! Instantly warm.
Hmmmmmmmm what keeps me warm…….well I live way up north in the middle of nowhere so we often resort to the good ol’ Canadian tradition of the toque, however I believe it (the toque) should be replaced by “the Larry”. Oh what a magnificent vision moose and “Larry,s” everywhere! Besides wearing toque’s I guess I would have to say that reminiscing about drinking vino, listening good music, checking out cute boys with my old school girlfriends is what keeps me warm in this freaking cold barren wasteland. Oh yeah and cuddling with my adorable three year old often does the trick too – oh yeah there should be Larry’s for toddlers!
making things.
warm fuzzy socks.
a hug.
a blanket.
a big comfy scarf.
imagination. making up characters out of blankets with my 3yr old nephew(ie. a black blanket named furry murry)
a nice gesture from a stranger.
a sunny spot.
a cup of tea.
my family.
my boyfriend.
my friends.
life.
BOOTS! My grandmother gifted me 4 pairs of amazing vintage boots, her boots, that she rocked a solid 50 years ago AND an assortment of equally awesome leather gloves. Fashion adorned with love is the best kind:)
That is why I would, if chosen, rock my larry with the warm fuzzy nubbly love that it deserves, especially since I know that larry will always offer it back!
There is nothing better than sitting beside my amazing husband next to a crackling fire with bold glass of red wine while wrapped in my grandmothers hand made quilt !!!
Love the shawl by the way!!
-Karen
Falling asleep on a cool fall night only
to awake
To see the signs of winters
first snowflake
As the city streets become blanketed in
snow
You can’t help but to feel the warm
afterglow
In this snowy landscape I roam
Simply put- reminds me of home
Growing up in the prairies the winters were bitterly cold, but I always loved the snow. As a Vancouverite, on the rare occasions we do experience snowfall, it brings a calmness and beauty to the city, and a certain warmth to it.
I’m driving in my car, I turn on the radio
Im pulling you close, you just say no
You say you don’t like it, but girl I know you’re a liar
`cause when we kiss, fire
Late at night I’m takin you home
I say I wanna stay, you say you wanna be alone
You say you don’t love me, girl you can’t hide your desire
`cause when we kiss, fire
You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldnt tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin actin like a fool
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool
Romeo and juliet, samson and delilah
Baby you can bet their love they didn’t deny
Your words say split but your words they lie
`cause when we kiss, fire
What keeps me warm? Quite literally, it’s a portable heater snatched from another dept. Here in the school, where I work as a fashion teacher, it’s like a freezer in the fashion lab. I’m always shivering as I try to teach the next generation how to be stylish, sew and become an informed shopper. It’s quite a challenge! So, to be lucky enough to be decked out in a beautiful “Larry” wrap would be a fashion teacher’s dream. I’ll be the envy of all my students!
I personally love fall and winter, and living on the east side of Canada next to the sea being warm is a must. I love layers and layers of scarves and furs, I pair them with some nice warm boots and home made “woolies”. My staple for the winter would have to be long johns. If you have ever been to New Brunswick in the winter its almost as bad as Quebec City. So as for the long johns, I have a variety that are tye dyed, watermelon themes and lingerie inspired. Just thinking about the cold makes me want to bundle up right away.

WHISKEY + WOOL.

Hot apple cider, warm homemade soups, and my down comforter!
My Newfie boyfriend keeps me warm – he is a furnace!! I suppose you have to be when you grew up on a windy rock. When he’s not around, I have tartan wool blankets – one in the official Newfoundland tartan, and one in my native Nova Scotian tartan. And a fat kitty who stretchs out the length of my legs and faceplants into my belly.
Cheers!
Blueberry tea (the kind with Amaretto and Grand Marnier!) keep me warm in winter!
I thought I had left a comment but I don’t see it. What keeps me warm? A big hugs from my little boys when they come back from school. But I sure could use a Larry !
…after a long day of winter surfing with my girlfriend in the icy waters off BC’s west coast, running back to the cabin’s hot tub, furiously peeling off our wetsuits to jump in and feel the hot water soaking our numb toes back to life, until we were all warm again…
If I had the chance I would surprise my girlfriend with this awesome scarf for our 3 year anniversary next week!
The chance at a possiblity of winning a Chinnook Winds shawl paired with my dog and boyfriend curled up and sleeping the cold winter away while candles burn and incense fills the room with the nostalgic smell of home
What keeps me warm is a hot cup of green tea with a piece of toast spread with nutella on top, a chunky, slouchy sweater with nice long leg warmers, my mini portable heater and my family and friends!
coming home to loving family. waiting for me, with the fireplace blazing,a glass of red wine, Curled up on the big white couch with my fav chenille wrap. music dancing with soft light. a good read, while noshing on artisan cheese/crackers/dark chocolate. My husband looking at me with his kind eyes.
Honestly, socks in bed keep in me warm during cold weather…that, and put my hands in my boyfriend’s pocket!
I love to warm up after a day on the slopes with hot bubble bath in my claw foot tub – accompanied by a tasty BC Pinot Noir and a great novel.
A big hug from my little boys when they get back from school. But I sure could use a Larry too!
chunky sweaters while sipping on my grande vanilla soy latte – that’s what usually keeps me warm…and hopefully this Larry too!! (=
having to dance every morning
figuratively and literally speaking
keeps me warm
mentally and physically.
seriously.
Doing
All I
Can
Everyday…
…to spread the LOVE!
My big fat sloppy mastiff puppy, Frank, and a nice mug of hot cocoa. That’s what keeps me warm!
An English Breakfast Tea Latte from Coffee Bean always does the trick!
The soft caress from the beau, the pancakes and waffles he makes me when I’m tired, the blue roses that he surprises me with every so often, the way I get along so well with his mother, the way he wraps his arms around me and looks at me, but most of all, the feeling I get when I’m with him or thinking about him because my heart still skips a beat, and the butterflies still roam so freely in my stomach.
My cat, Pinkus, is 12 years old as of Sept 13th. He is constantly sleeping on my clothes, my shoes, my pillow … whatever smells like me. Since he is getting up there in age, I would love to have something soft and comfy to let him sleep on. That shawl = perfection! I would love this gift, not just for me, but for my little Pinkus! Thanks luv! xo
Oh my! Great question.
My chocolate lab Maya keeps me warm too. I bring her to work and she often falls asleep on my feet, under my desk. The sweetest ever. She sometimes keeps my colleagues feet warm too if I get up and move around too much for her liking.
At home, she’ll always fall sleep on the carpet in front of the sofa, closest to where my bf and I are sitting.
When she’s feeling bold enough to jump up on the bed (she so rarely does this), she’d rest her head on my legs and fall asleep like like, until I would shift because she’d be doing too good a job and keeping me warm and I’d need to remove the blanket.
Love your designs Dace. Keep up the great work… and I hope I win :)

My snuggly husband!!!
A hot cup of cocoa or coffee and hugs from my kids!
I have two pairs of huge, thick socks that I swear by. And these fleece reindeer PJ pants that I got from Old Navy 5 years ago. They’re still so, so cozy. Oh, and a Heath mug full of hot jasmine tea.
Most certainly a big mug of mulled wine, a roaring fire, a nicely worn in quilt, and my dog.
Watching movies in bed on a Sunday with my husband and a latte…ignoring anything beyond those 4 walls for just a day…warm warm warm!
Socks. It sounds so weird, but if I’m wearing socks I automatically feel cozier.
One kind word can warm three winter months. That one word is shawl. Thank you for the opportunity! xo
Time with my husband and our families. Eating, laughing, talking and sharing.
Taking pictures while walking through the river valley and dreaming with my husband about one day having our very own family!
beautiful shawl!
what keeps me warm, hot tea or chocolate, flannel sheets, an old wool cardigan found at a thrift store, felted wool slippers, a lap cat, candles, and a hug from someone i love…
sitting in a cozy cafe sipping a cup of warm latte, reading novels on my porch outside with a slight breeze and the beautiful sunlight, listening to my tunes with my headphones on the subway,leggings, dresses, lemons, soft pillows, postcards around the world, breakfast and brunch, lovely friends and family, elephants and of course cozy scarves around my neck!
My husband’s hugs after a long work day/wearing a beret/sipping a Chai Latte.
brooke and jordyn sandwiches. ;)
Firewood warms me up twice.
Once when I chop it and once when I burn it.
Firey chili peppers:) I’m not even kidding they make me sweat
ps. my wife would wear you well
What keeps me warm:
Tea, my bunny, a big quilt, fires, long hair, boyfriend, boyfriends chunky sweaters, and hugs!
A vintage wool cabin blanket, an 80-lb. Golden Retriever and the love of my life all with me on the couch.
Cashmere. Exercise. Self-confidence. Fires in fireplaces.
i have to say scarfs… it really makes a difference when you keep your neck warm ;) they also serve as good accessories.
Nothing! Which is exactly why I would LOVE this shawl. My husband always complains about how cold I am, and he doesn’t like to cuddle. BOO! I’m a new mom (of a 6 month old girl), trying to save money, and don’t get the opportunity to buy beautiful and extravagant pieces like this one. My friends would definitely want one after seeing it! :-)
Thanks for the contest!
My 3 beautiful girls and my husband keep me warm ,but Larry’s shawl would be wonderful for the windy cold days here in Calgary! Missing the Okanagan fall days.
warm hoody with blanket and socks lying on the couch…perfect for watching movies or in my case..studying as well!
a hot cup of latte or chocolate and a big blanket!
Lots of layers, cute boots, soft scarves, fur trimmed jackets and the thought of snuggles from my love.
Puppies
snuggling with my sweet family: dog, man, boy
the fact that i am an aunt for the first time makes me smile and keeps me warm! :) i would like to give this beautiful shawl to my sister-in-law, the new mom, who is also a knit aficionado. she, my brother, and my little niece will be visiting in late october, and i’d love to be able to give her something to keep the crisp, michigan air at bay as the fiery autumn leaves put on a show for them.
Piping hot baths on chilly days. Lights off and candles optional!
My daughter’s dog is the warmest thing around. She just cuddles up next to me.
I love a cosy blanket and someone to share it with to keep my warm.
a delicious cappuccino, cozy cafe, and a good book
Mon amoureux…
A cup of rooibos tea, a good book, and my favourite blanket!!
My husband, mittens and a scarf.
My electric blanket! I have bad circulation. Hubby helps too :-)
How do I stay warm? Huddling around a blazing bonfire with my wooly socks, guitars, a hot mug of tea, and my favourite friends.
thanks. xxo.
All I need is my coffee, my boyfriend, a scarf or jacket, and my favorite leggings and I’m ready for another chilly day in San Francisco.
What keeps me warm….my friends keep me warm!
Oh Autumn and winter wonderland. The two seasons that bring out the best in my closet.. knit sweaters, leggings, wool handknit lounge socks, and my great grandfathers cowichan sweater (that I absolutely adore!). Obviously, these items keep my warm in the literal sense. I think the warmest of all is being surrounded by loving friends and family.. especially at christmas and thanksgivings!
My husky and my wife, wearing that scarf!
note: the scarf goes to my wife
In the winter, I love thick wooly socks! oh and of course my cats. There’s nothing better than waking up under your down comforter and having yours cat right there.
Autumn means I become a mom sandwich as my two little boys climb into my bed in the morning to snuggle while it’s still dark outside. That’s what keeps me warm.
the sunshine…of my friends’ smiles.
hot dark chocolate, leather boots, and crisp, white down blankets! =)
A good book, my two kitties and my husband under the covers!
hmm. I’d say roasted barley tea. I always have a cup in my hands to keep me warm in the cold weathers.
Hello!!!!
so!!!
I want to buy it!!!!possible?
A hot cup of ginger tea, a cozy chunky knit blankie, and a good old classic movie like Casablanca <3 <3 <3
Hands down, no contest, my man is the greatest thing that keeps me warm. The second he wraps his arms around me I’m nice and cozy and my heart melts; I could hibernate there all fall… and winter! It may sound cheesey, but it’s very true ;o) There’s nothing like the warmth you get from the man that you love.
What keeps me warm is my family- I know that my parents will always be by my side no matter what circumstance. My heart is forever kept warm by my tight-knit family. :)
I cuddle up with my boyfriend to watch a couple of DVDs with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and thick wool socks on our feet.
As of this summer, my hubby, but my collection of vintage wool blankets help though too!
Tea. Wool. Cuddles. Fires. Cashmere.
What keeps me warm? A nice cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, and the best guy on earth! Who could ask for anything more?
Love, a hot cup of coffee, and a larry chinook winds ribbed shoulder shawl to keep me warm! ;)
This is such a lovely shawl. It looks so soft.
I like to keep warm by cuddling up under a big, cosy blanket with a nice cup of herbal tea. Preferably with someone I love cuddled up next to me.
A roaring fireplace, a hot cup of tea, a warm body to curl up with, and the dog sleeping at your feet. Bliss.
my favorite way to stay warm is sitting by the fire with my dog, all wrapped up in a cozy old quilt.
hot baths and hot chocolate.
Felted wool slippers knit by my sister warm my feet. And a hot mug of tea warms me from the inside out.
My loving hubby, a cozy blanket and a cup of hot chocolate- that’s all I need! Oh ya, and hopefully a Dace shoulder shawl :)
A cup of hot cocoa, good company, sweaters.
what keeps me warm?
Red wine after summer’s gin & tonic’s are gone
Apple cider heated up
making bread
cowl neck sweaters (not sure if they are in style anymore but I have a dozen of them)
jeans with boots after summer’s shorts and sandals
a fire in a fireplace
a baby in a wool onesie (sweetest thing to snuggle with ever…sorry hubby).
hats. hats are key to warmth and hide bad hair
scarves. I like my neck to be warm always. i wear scarves inside until my husband says he’s sweating just looking at me.
putting the down comforter back on the bed.
socks. good socks are key as well.
my five-year old bringing me my slippers in the morning because he’s “sooooooo hungry” and knows I’ll get up faster if slippers are available
radiators. putting my kids clothes on the radiators for a few minutes before they put them on.
always having a blanket on the couch that faces the tv.
sharing a tea bag with my husband. He likes it weaker so I get it first.
sleeping closer to the hubby since he is always warm. why do men never get cold toes?
toast
chasing 3 kids
coffee
alright, I’m done
Warmth in my life is filled by inside jokes with my childhood friends, squeezing my mom like I’m her baby girl, complementing a stranger with something unexpected, giving more than I take, seeing humanity in everyone.
My boyfriend
Bourbon neat
[not much better then that]
I’m a summer girl at heart, so when the seasons change I ache a bit for the sun’s warmth. Apart from heaps of blankets, a cat on my lap or a toddy of some sort, lots of soft, thin layers are a must to survive (stylishly) these non-summer months.
Dearest Larry,
I am sensitively warm blooded and unfortunately find myself easily chilled. A few of my favourite heat conductors include my silly dollar store knee length socks, my puppy and my unbearably handsome partner Adam. Please know that I would so love to add you to that list.
Here’s to hoping you might find your way around my neck.

In this order:
My husband
Supportive friends & family
Scarves
Leg warmers
Blanky
Cup of Chai Latte
Deep sense of satisfaction & contentment from within
A lot of things keep me warm.
First, my boyfriend. In fact, i’m considered as ‘the heater’ under the sheets, because i have a tendancy to give my body heat to the boyfriend and i’m freezing!
Second, I love everything with wool, hats, scarves, cardigans, it’s comfy and comforting.
What keeps me warm? I think I am going to have to go with love; the love of my boyfriend, my cat and my family. They keep me warm all year long.
Comfy knits! Sweater, mittens, hats, and yes, scarves. The softer and chunkier the knit, the warmer it feels.
hot cocoa and a comfy, warm coat!
What keeps me warm? Love and cuddles (my babies and pup!) and a cup of piping hot cocoa helps too. Mmmm…
Normally I would say coffee keeps me warm – I’m cold natured – but today a friend offered me something to keep me warm that is even better. It was a set of two handmade boy and girl dolls from Ghana. I’m going to purchase one at a price that will support an orphan school child in Ghana for the year. The sweet embroidered black eyes and blue knit sweater that dressed the doll are a tangible reminder that will warm my heart all this year.
My boyfriend lives across the continent in a different country. But no matter how far apart we may be – how many hours the flight between us – his love has always kept me warm…
A good cup of coffee and a good book.
Pretty new things to compliment my fall/winter wardrobe. A dash of colour to warm up those dismal days, anyting wool, pretty skirts, tights of all colours and warm boots. Oh and a hug never hurts! :-)
A lover keeps you warm..but when you are alone this lovely item can keep you warm! I hope it can be mine to keep me warm this fall!(utah is can be lonely and bitterly cold…)
My husband’s embrace keeps me warm. ;)
A cup of hot cocoa next to the fire. THAT is the perfect way to keep warm on a cold day … and everybody knows that Washington is pretty darn cold in the wintertime. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that winter is my favorite season! Thank you for the opportunity to win this MAH-velous prize!! xo
Monroe (my puppy), Paul (my fiance) and a cup of Mexican hot cocoa keep me warm in the bitter Chicago winter!
Finally! The first days of autumn have arrived!
It is by far the time of year I love the most simply for the fact that it becomes cold enough outside to seek the most delicious sorts of warmth, from steamy coffee shops to fireside reading sessions to the loveliest of clothes. Jackets! Scarves! Leather boots and boyfriend sweaters. Tights, hoods, hats, and knit gloves!
I know I’ll be keeping warm with a few of my favorites: my signature white scarf, the daily run for the bus, and lovely cups of passion tea with friends :)
Much love, Dace!
-Kaitlyn
letters in the mail.
a cup of strong tea. no, five cups.
my partner’s hand around mine.
giving gifts to good friends. then chatting late over good wine.
a bike ride in the crisp evening air to watch the sunset.
fresh blueberry waffles for breakfast.
something big and handmade to wrap up in.
xo.
Sipping a steamy, spicy cup of chai tea while wrapped in lofty down bedding.
Add in a Larry and I’ll be ready to hibernate until spring.
Hot buttered rum! Preferably taken after a day of hiking or snowboarding.
What keeps me warm? An arsenal of layers and the knowledge that I’ll be going home to B.C. for Christmas…at which time, I can thaw and bulk up on fatty foods. Oh, and of course, Chinook Winds shoulder shawl ;)
Thanks!

Born and raised on the Canadian prairies, Saskatchewan is famous for its unpredictable weather with short summers, even shorter falls and long, chilly winters.
In Regina, it isn’t uncommon to spend an entire winter with temperatures sitting comfortably at -40 degrees daily. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that fall and winters are indeed beautiful here with a perfect array of fall coloured-leaves littering lawns, the streets and playgrounds; and how perfectly the snow nestles onto the tree branches.
I wouldn’t be able to get through the cold days if it weren’t for a daily cup of tea with a few drops of honey and keeping my feet toasty and warm with my trusty Quoddy boots. I’ve been wearing my Quoddy’s for a few years now after discovering them on a trip to Maine with a friend. Their sturdy and slip-proof soles protect me from wiping out on a patch of dark ice or slippery roads – they are truly a prairie girl’s best friend in the winter and get extra sentimental points for their timeless style and hand sewn tradition.
Thank you Dace for giving us an opportunity to win a Larry. It will certainly keep us girls warm and stylish while making snow angels in freshly fallen snow!
What keeps me warm? Well, other than the fact that I’m layered to bits with sweaters at my desk, I enjoy a warm bowl of oatmeal (maple and brown sugar has got to be my fave) and an intake of all warm beverages (excluding coffee – can’t seem to wrap my taste buds around it). Basically, varying teas. Warm foods paired with my warmest of warm boots (especially on a day like today) and cozy socks. When I leave the office, you can certainly find me sipping on some earl gray tea from harrods UK and slipping on my rather unattractive, but [very] warm slipper booties.
Now – to pa rouse your new items…

Sadly, it’s usually the little engine on my laptop churning out hot air that keeps me warm while I’m working, but when I can tear myself away from my desk, there’s nothing better during the winter than a cosy knit sweater and a hot toddy to keep warm.
Cup after cup of tea
Fluffy cashmere
Kitty on my lap
Hawaii in December
Home sweet home
Thick down comforter
Big wool coat
Long hot shower
Anywhere indoors after being outdoors
Sun salutations
Holding hands
Brisk walk with the dog
Smell of slightly burnt toast
Gloves that fit
Cozy, crackling wood fire
Sitting directly before a heater
Love, happiness, peace, and all that good stuff
Thanks, Dace!
What keeps me warm? Ribbed shoulder shawls (ideally by Larry), but if Dace knits one, then by her (-:
I love autumn! It’s my favourite season :) When I walked out the door today and felt the brisk air and sprinkling of rain, it instantly put me in a good mood!
I mostly love autumn for the fashion choices. I like to cover up and layer and autumn is the best season for that. Two things that keep me warm and that I can’t live without are scarves and wool coats. I have multiples of each! Not only do scarves keep you warm, they add a dash of drama and personality to any outfit – during any season! So simply and functional! As for coats, I have to limit myself to 1 or 2 purchases a year – that could be an expensive habit if I let it get out of control! But it’s another way to show personality. There’s so many modern cuts and funky touches nowadays, that we’re not limited to the same old boring peacoats!
Just that and snuggles from my honey will keep me warm all fall/winter long!
Thanks dace….you are a very adept at feeding my autumnal funky fashion habit!
Curling up at my parent’s house by the fire with a good book is what keeps me warm. It’s my favourite place to be in the winter when it’s cold out.
That wrap is just beyond words…THAT would keep me warm!!!
However…my absolute favorite way to keep warm is to snuggle on my couch with a blanket and a great magazine, my puppy curled up next to me, with a fantastic cup of hot chocolate {the real kind!}. And just like that, I’m already dreaming of winter. Sigh.
xoxo
a nice piping-hot cup of hot chocolate, with a throw and a good book by a fire. :)
This is beautiful – I would love to give it to my girlfriend and since she keeps me warm I need her to be warm first!
Brett
Before stepping outside, I like to have some hot chamomile tea with a shot of good whiskey! That helps to warm me up from the inside. NYC winters are cold and blistery and feeling that warmth in my tummy helps a lot.

Naked skin…someone else’s.
What keeps me warm?
Hot chocolate spiced with cinnamon, my small hand wrapped in a boy’s larger one, my father’s old sweaters, wool-wrapped feet in front of the fireplace, a nip of whisky brings fire to the belly, my pup’s head as it rests on my feet while she sleeps, a stark white down comforter on a gray day, butternut squash soup spiced with curry, my mother’s apple crumble fresh out of the oven, a look of love.
My hubby, a fire and a deliciously warm cup of pumpkin latte! Yum!
My husband, kitty cat and baby bump keep me warm. :)
My two long hair chihuahuas always keep me warm! Along with a supportive husband and a good cup of pumpkin coffee. ;) But for a stylish occasion- this would be a perfect addition
All you need is love, really. Especially when it is nothing but dull autumn and rain out. A tad of positive energy and other people’s love keep me warm. Period.
oh lala what a great subject!
Obviously autumn is my favourite season of the year. Not that the warm sun of summer doesn’t keep me warm but, the self conscious girl that I am, prefer this little “brise” of autumn so that I can start to put my new cloths, and… the oldest but comfy ones, that keeps me cover. Just the feeling of wearing long pants and “gilets” gives me self confidence and I absolutely love to be feeling warm in my cloths and at the same time have an aspiration of cold air when I’m walking down the calm street in the “plateau”, in Montreal. Nonetheless, I’m a complete fanatic of scarves. I would be able to wear a scarf, even if it’s 30°C outside. I try to contain myself when the cold start to show itself, but I can’t! I’m taking my big basket of autumn and winter scarves that was not too far away in my closet, and try to find the perfect one to begin the season. “J’aimerais dire que l’amour me garde au chaud (mon copain en serait heureux)”. But a nice “bonnet” in wool and alpaca, or simply a nice wool knit in which I can totally cover myself and my two cats is probably a more exact answer. But, if I think of it a second more, the thing that I like the most, in the goal to keep me warm, is probably a cuddling session with my little mom, talking about everything and nothing… just happy to be warm and together.
bisous maman,
and thank you to Dace for the autumn collection can wait to get one of this dresses that I’ve been dreaming of since I’ve got your look book!
