Baby it's Cold Outsid

It certainly hasn't felt like fall (or winter) here in Portland the past few weeks. Until these last few days, we had been having an Indian Summer with temperatures in the low 80s, so cold weather has been far from my mind..

The other day a friend posted a photo of herself in this amazing, printed "sleeping bag" like coat.
Given that I am ALWAYS cold, I had to know what it was and where she got it.

Say hello to the Poler Napsack. Katie actually posted on this product two years ago (here).


"The Napsack has zippers at the shoulders, so you can stick your arms out, and a cinch at the bottom so that you can open it up and stick your legs out. Hike it up to your waist, cinch it, and wear it like a puffy coat around the campfire, and then crawl right back into your tent without ever having to leave the warmth of your bag.

Perfect for summer trips, couch surfing, music festivals, jumping into after snowboarding, surfing or any other activity that brings your core temperature down. Its not too hot for inside and is awesome for wearing around the house in the winter.

The chest pocket fits a phone and has a pass through hole for your headphones to run internally, and it has pockets like a puffy jacket."


My friend ordered a small size and uses it just for wear, not for sleeping, so it comes slightly below her knees. I love the print, and I think I need one of these. It would be the perfect thing to keep me warm during the winter months. Because I am ALWAYS cold, and we live in a 1953 house and my husband likes to keep the heat much lower than I do. 

He says it's a "Snuggie" and that its ridiculous. Yes, so it's basically a Snuggie, but it's way cuter, and I totally want one.

From Across the Pond

I recently came across a very cool lifestyle brand from England called Anorak. The brand was launched in January 2008 by textiles designer Laurie Robertson after she graduated from the RCA. Childhood memories of family camping adventures were the inspiration behind the brand and every Anorak product is decorated with a design inspired by the great outdoors. 

The mountain girl in me is totally smitten. Too bad the dollar is so week compared to the pound, and the cost of shipping from the UK is pretty astronomical. 

Katie would love this polar bear makeup bag.

I would buy this sleeping bag for the Mini Fashionista in a heart beat! 

This trunk would be really cute as a kid's toy chest!

This trunk would make a really cool coffee table or a great foot stool at the end of a bed.
