Anywho + Kobra = A Warm Heart

I can't believe I almost missed Christmas. I just realized yesterday, amidst my huge day-long sigh of relief, that Christmas is next weekend. Next weekend! I have already done the majority of my shopping, and I did decorate the apartment on December 1st, but those were more chores than anything. With all that was going on at work (and thus my life), I didn't even think of getting into any type of holiday spirit. But now I'm free to listen to Amy Grant's Home For Christmas to my heart's content. It would also help to wrap some of those presents (a task which I love to do), but I have a week or two of blog reading to catch up on. Here's one gem I've already found, via DeSmitten: The drapiest of drapey warm wear from a collaboration between Danish label Kobra (by Fornebo) and Danish blog Anywho. Priced between about $215 and $320 (and only available here), I'm thinking these one-size wool and cashmere blend pieces are the perfect rewards for making it through this year...

P.S. Everything in my shop is 50% off for the weekend, just because. Meaning everything but the Alexander McQueen jacket is under $25. And yes, the McQueen is also on sale, against my better judgment. The regular $5 off for each additional item and $10 flat shipping fee still applies. Cheers!

Lead Me On

Well, the Hero of the Day award goes hands down to my favorite non-New Yorker New Yorker. With her help, I'll get through this dental business, dose by dose of liquid-ish Advil. (Little piece of kOs trivia: I can't swallow pills.) However, as there's a limit to how much of this glorious goo that I can drink in a day, most of the day I have my jaw unconsciously/very consciously jutted out. Although it's not entirely bad, as I always wanted to be just like Amy Grant. I can very clearly remember being so happy to have bought my very own cassette copy of Lead Me On from a store in Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham, WA, and perusing the accordion-like liner notes while riding in the back of the car with my favorite Auntie (who, coincidentally, seems to be cut from the very same cloth of my favorite non-NYer NYer). Hard to believe that was about 20 years ago. And I'm still coveting Amy's Lead Me On era hair.

P.S. I had the video for "Lead Me On" posted instead of the miniscule photo above, but the content was removed due to copyright. You can go to here to see a pretty good quality version of it...until that one is removed, anyway.
