one of my favorite fall trends this year are knitted ear warmers, they are so cozy and cute! i love the simple touch of class they give, and of course, my ears appreciate the bit of warmth they provide!

scarf season. my favorite. there’s just nothing cozier than being bundled up in a soft scarf, and no outfit that doesn’t deserve one. when ez over at creature comforts posted this video on 25 ways to wear a scarf, it reminded me of a tutorial that my sister did, which has become my favorite way to wear my scarves.

note: i might have watched that video twice, and then disappeared into the world of wendy for a bit. i could watch her youtube channel for a century. i have since resurfaced though, but with a new found blogosphere love!

i’ll be getting back to my mission shortly, but first i must introduce you to someone very special.

meet my sister, becky:

isn’t she beautiful? a good friend of ours took the photos for this tutorial, and you can see more of her work at {rik-see} photography.

now, back to scarves! this easy to do ‘braided look’ is so comfy and chic, don’t you think? now that my thoughts have been on scarves all day, i can’t wait to try my hand at some new techniques!

ok, i know this is a little out of the realm for ghtr, but i ran across these tie-dyed tips earlier this week and have been more or less obsessed with them ever since. ummmm, aren’t they awesome!? i’m not sure that i could pull them off, but maybe i’ll try it before i get my next hair cut or something. what do you think? i mean, i am a california girl now, right?

so let me know what you think… too crazy? visit the beauty department for full instructions, and be sure to share with us if you decide to tie-dye your tips!

living in the valley just seems to promote an easier way of life. i find that i’m most often in no hurry at all. i’ll walk to the mailbox rather than check it on my way in and somehow easily find time to catch up with friends and neighbors. when the electricity went out for some 4 hours yesterday, it didn’t seem to disrupt my life in the way it usually would have. i like that. an easier way of living calls for an easier way of dressing, and i think madewell screams long walks to the farmers market and strolls along the beach. what do you think? they are my latest favorite shop to browse through.
