Cozy Slipper Round Up

in

A friend of mine recently asked me about slippers and let’s just say I had way more opinions than probably warranted.

My partner calls me the “queen of cozy” because I take being cozy very seriously, particularly in the winter. Name a clever little book on hygge and I’ve probably read it. Ask me about my tea drawer, I’d love to walk you through it. How many throw blankets is enough? That’s a trick question because there is no such thing as enough throws. So slippers, of course I had a few recommendations and so I thought I’d share them here too!

My current favorite are these Parachute waffle booties and they are currently on sale! These ones are a close second. Not only are these cute and keep your ankles warm, but the insole is memory foam. Simply divine.

If you are feeling spendy then splurge on these shearling Moroccan slippers are it. These are a classic and mine lasted surprisingly long (over 2 years) for being white and having a leather sole!

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Muji offers the best slipper under $15! They may not last season after season, but they truly are comfortable while they last. I like to get these for house guests.

If you are looking for something that could work indoors or outdoors these shearling slides from TKEES are it. These are also good if a super warm bootie isn’t up your alley.

I haven’t tried these but they are on my list for next time I need a pair. I have been very impressed with Quince thus far and have high hopes for their shearling slides. They just look so luxe and I am smitten with the greyish color.

Modern Folk + Other Pretty Things

I think the cottagecore bug finally bit me. I couldn’t resist the cornflower design on our holiday cards this year, and now I’ve just ordered this floral embroidered sweater (no regrets). Before I know it I am going to be ordering ruffled collared shirts and the hyper-trending mary janes!

But in all seriousness, those pieces are cute on many but my take on cottagecore is just enough to satisfy my desire for the cozy, feminine, and wholesome feel it exudes while still fitting into my classic and curated wardrobe. Here are a few cottagey and granola pieces I’ve added in the past year and love.

Sézane New Additions

in

Sézane continues to have a special place in my heart and wardrobe. These are the new pieces I’ve added to my collection over the past few months!

From left to right:

  • Clément Sweater - I have long had a thing for stripes, and a classic navy and white Breton stripe is my favorite. This sweater caught my eye because of it’s versatility pre- and post- pregnancy. Plus the beautiful buttons up the side seams are both a unique and functional design feature.

  • Large Alfred Card Holder - I’ve been gravitating to carrying more kid-sized bags and with that I felt I needed to add a card holder to my collection to save on space. The Alfred car holder is small but highly functional with 3 card slots, a zipper pocket, and slit pocket. The leather is stunning and will patina beautifully over time and I was thrilled to get my name embossed on it!

  • Mederick Coat - I have wanted to add a stunning double face wool coat like this one to my wardrobe for years. I always thought I’d add a camel color, and Sezane carries one, but then I fell in love with this olive color. I wear a lot of neutrals but always love a pop of green where I can add it.

  • Cleopatra Scarf - I have a small collection of silk scarves that I love, but have never found a floral that I truly love, until now. The colors and print of this scarf feels classic while still interesting and not too basic. I can’t wait to style it throughout the spring months too!

  • Seraphine Scarf - This classic houndstooth is softened in this camel and white colorway. I think this classic pattern in a high quality wool will serve me well for many many years to come.

  • Canvas Tote Bag - I saw this tote bag and just loved the materials and proportions. I immediately thought it would make a great and inconspicuous diaper bag with its generous size and tactical pockets.
