Style & Finds, Chapter 1

Hi all, I thought I'd start a new blog series where I'd share some of my weekly finds. Here's week 1!

  • Jade Sapphire Exotic Fibres - Peeeps Yarn
    I found this luxuriously soft and light yarn (60% Wool, 40% Cashmere) at ImagiKnit today. They have a huge selection of yarns and also offered kits for making a neck noodle. Ravelry offers a few designs for this yarn. Knitting is on my bucket list, especially with this oh so soft yarn!
     
  • Jillian Harris Lovers Chia Pudding Parfait Recipe
    I tried this beautiful recipe at home with a few mini jars we had lying around. It was my first time using chia seeds. I'm usually skeptical of healthy parfaits and smoothies, but this one really tastes AND looks good!
     
  • Everlane Cashmere Crew
    I recently ordered my first sweater from Everlane and have quickly found myself wearing this cashmere crew more often than not. It's really good quality for the price, which is much cheaper than what you'd typically find elsewhere. I purchased the heather grey, which is a perfect closet neutral staple. I'm also eyeing the camel, pink, and lavender (when it returns!)
     
  • Purple Garnet Swell Bottle 9oz
    We actually got some larger Swell bottles from our company as an end of year gift a few years back. They're great bottles for long hikes or drives where you want your drinks to stay warm. BUT, I never knew they offered a mini size in 9oz! We frequently found that we never finished drinks in their standard 17oz. If only we didn't have so many bottle already, I'd get this lavender (purple garnet) mini bottle!
  •  Jcrew Perfect Rainjacket in Pink Blush
    I already have my trusty North Face jacket and windbreaker for rain gear, but if you don't have gear yet, this one comes in a pretty pink color. 
     
  • Lupicia Rose Royal Tea
    As I mentioned before, I'm usually not into flavored teas, but Lupicia has been a consistent exception. If you like black tea with a hint of roses, strawberry and champagne (on the light side), this is a great tea to try. I discovered this as one of their monthly teas I received in the mail. I'm hoping to restock soon!
