  • Coffee Break: Tissue Weight Wool and Cashmere Wrap

    One of my must-haves for spring and fall is always a lightweight (but warm!) scarf or wrap. It’s great to fold neatly (and maybe even place it in a Ziploc to protect it), and carry it with you always in case you need extra warmth on a windy spring day. (It’s also great for those…
