Winter

I'm back in San Francisco, if only for a mere month - and then I'm heading back to Massachusetts again. Cleaning out my grandmother's house turned out to be more overwhelming then I could have imagined. Basically, no matter how many times I think I've uncovered all that there is to be uncovered, I manage to find more stuff I can't let anyone else have. On the next trip I'm going to have to find myself a storage unit for all the furniture and boxes... maybe two? Shoot, could even be three... I have some photos to share of some of this trip's favorite finds...



The weather will hopefully be a teeny bit warmer in MA come March - but I'm sure Spring will still be taking it's merry little time to show up - most likely my suitcase will have the same things that I brought in January....

The very best winter socks I've ever owned. Picked up at Department 17, a new men's shop that's a close walk from my apartment. I seriously wore these socks every day without washing them for 2 weeks. I guess that's probably gross, but I couldn't bear to take them off my feet, which are habitually cold - bad circulation...



These shearling lined Bean Boots I picked up at the L.L. Bean outlet store were a life saver. I have a pair of Sorels that are perfect for snow storms - but on days when the snow has been shoveled and you're just running out to the car - they're perfect. Also pretty nice duo with those Woolrich socks.

This sweater - one of the great loves of my life. Found in my grandmother's house when I was in high school. It has a nice floppy collar and pockets with the nicest wooden buttons (which have mostly fallen off at this point). It's acrylic, which normally I try to stay away from - but it's so thick and soft and machine washable and I don't even mind.

This 70s plaid flannel shirt from La Meow Vintage was on my back for 3 days straight, including sleeps too. So soft/warm.

A St. James Shirt which is perfect for layering with warm undershirts, a red scarf I knitted a few months back, and mittens from J.Crew I might have demolished while attempting to shovel my parent's roof, erh and that day my mom and I were cleaning out my grandmother's attic and there was no oil in the boiler...
