It’s cold. Wear Cashmere

January 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So it’s crazy cold in most of the country (including here in the Northeast), and the best cure for cold is cashmere. After spending way too long browsing through cashmere items online before I actually got up and got myself a sweater from my closet, here’s my favorites of what I found at a variety of price points:

George Simonton Couture Wool & Cashmere Walking Coat $329.90 at Nordstrom. Check out the rosebud buttons!
Nordstrom Plaid Cashmere Wrap. Super Soft and Super Warm! $98.50 at Nordstrom
Philosophy Dane Lewis V-Neck Cashmere Sweater. $52.90 at Nordstrom. Super soft, super comfy. Good under a jacket or just around the house.
Leifsdottir Scalloped Cashmere Sweater. I absolutely adore this sweater. Check out the buttons!
Philosophy Dane Lewis Ruched Yoke Cashmere Hoody. Is there anything more luxurious than a cashmere hoodie? $52.90 at Nordstrom. Comes in some beautiful colors.
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Cable Cashmere Sweater. I love this color.
Juicy Couture Cashmere Track Pants and Juicy Couture Empire Waist Cashmere Hoody. You could exercise in this. Or you could curl up on the couch and watch a movie. I won’t tell anyone. Also comes in black.
Juicy Couture Bow & Charm Cashmere Hat. Nothing keeps you warm like a cashmere hat and scarf. $95 at Nordstrom.

Nordstrom is offering an 18 piece GWP with an $85 beauty purchase

Nordstrom is offering a really nice yellow cosmetics case with 18 samples with any $85 beauty purchase. Among the samples is a .24 ounce Kinerase ‘Extreme Lift’ Face, which retails for $150, so this sample alone is worth $36.

And anything Kinerase is good in my book…
