Ladies, we haven't talked about winter hats in far too long — which are your favorites? I feel like I am perpetually on the hunt for a good one. Last year (or two years ago) I found a pretty knit hat at Old Navy that was lined with fleece on the inside, which I liked for warmth — but it has not held up well at all. I'm currently wearing a slouchy beanie like the pictured one (on sale for $21 at Nordstrom), which is fine. What are your favorites — what material do you like for warmth, durability and static, and what styles do you think are the most flattering? Do you think you ever “age out” of certain styles, like pom poms? Pictured: Halogen® Metallic Cashmere Blend Beanie, $21.98 at Nordstrom in black, gray and white.

Help me pack the perfect carry on. I’m checking my luggage and it’s a red eye from Orlando to Iceland. We plan on staying up the whole day when we arrive to avoid or fight jet lag as much as possible.
Hive mind question — a cousin who I’m very close to is about to have a baby. First kid in the extended family. I want to get her a present (for her, not for the baby, she has onesies bursting out through the rafters). Can new moms go to the spa? Budget is in the $100-150 range. Any thoughts?
