Jules Approved: Comfy, Cozy Knits

1. Decorative Pillow // Chapters
Wouldn't you say your happy place is sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, wrapped up in blankets and surrounded by fluffy pillows? This decorative pillow from Chapters will help create that nest of pillows and personal heaven.

2. Where The Rainbows End // Chapters
Cuddled up in front of the fireplace with a great book, escaping the cold, is a great way to spend the day. Where The Rainbow Ends is a super cute book that I highly recommend! It's an easy, quick read that you won't want to put it down. It's sort of like a modern day Notebook... A must read!

3. Throw // Crate & Barrel
You aren't cozy enough unless you have a nice blanket keeping you warm. This throw from Crate & Barrel is super cute and will keep you toasty warm. Plus, the Crate & Barrel website recently started shipping to Canada making it even easier to buy their cozy throws if you can't get to their few store locations.

4. Loreli Sweatshirt // preloved
 The Loreli sweatshirt is the definition of cozy. It is fully lined with super soft jersey and a big cozy turtle neck. This is a statement sweater that you will never want to take off!

5. Infinity Scarf // Anthropologie 
This scarf from Anthropologie is super soft and warm. It has a gorgeous fur on one side and a cozy knit on the other... Ideal for indoor and outdoor wear. Apart from feeling good, the double textures also give it an interesting look. This scarf comes in black and white, colours that you can wear with literally anything in your closet!

6. Legwarmers // preloved (coming soon)
These legwarmers are the perfect height to peek above a pair of knee high boots. Made from vintage sweaters, these legwarmers will keep you toasty warm while trucking through snow.

7. Peppermint Mocha // Starbucks
Starbucks holiday drinks are one of the best things that come along with the upcoming Christmas season. One of my personal favourites is the peppermint mocha.. All I can say is YUM! Try it next time you pass by Starbucks, you won't regret it!

8. Ankle Booties // Zara
Staying fashionable while keeping warm can be challenging sometimes.... However these ankle booties from Zara make being warm stylish! These boots are fur lined to keep your feet dry and cozy, and the buckles and leather keep you in fashion.

9. 3 Wick Candle // Bath and Body Works
Lastly, you can't deny that a burning candle completes a cozy day at home. Bath and Body Works just recently put out their holiday scents. Spice Apple Toddy is a scent that smells edible but also helps you relax.

The Glamorous Life

In the heat of the summer, is when the team at preloved, is in the heat of processing vintage wool sweaters. To be honest it seems like we never stop processing wool sweaters, but during June and July we are in the thick of it.  It takes a lot of time, ( and hands) to sort though over 100'000 sweaters, which is what we will need to create our Fall 2014 line.  The sweaters need to be inspected for damage,  colour blocked,  sorted into texture groupings,  prepped for washing, then we hand them over to them over to the manufacturing team,  which is where the real magic begins! So as you are sitting on patio's this summer, feeling like fall is a million miles away....rest assured that the team at preloved is hard a work, creating the prefect winter sweater for you! xox
