Speaking of 2016, I’m officially bringing back favorites videos—because January in Maine basically demands cozy staples and little comforts that make real life feel easier. These aren’t necessarily the trendiest or the cutest things; the only criteria is I have to be obsessed with them. I’m sharing what I’ve actually been wearing on repeat: my “they don’t make things like they used to” Free People sweatshirt (thick, perfect, a little lower in the back), my tried-and-true Aerie leggings (I’ll link the exact ones because that matters), another Free People mock-neck cozy sweatshirt, plus the Aerie vest I cannot believe I haven’t talked about more. It’s my go-to layer for running in and out of stores when I don’t want the heavy winter coat but still want my core warm. I’m also mixing in a couple home favorites from our first-home reno life—because between refinishing floors and removing popcorn ceilings upstairs, I truly felt like I couldn’t breathe fresh air. Air purifiers were not the sexiest purchase, but I will never look back. And our living room braided wool rug? Thick, soft, neutral, but still a statement because of the texture. I’m rounding it out with what we’ve been eating (the viral “healthy” buffalo chicken dip—so good), my January book obsession (Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reed), and the show that got me out of a TV rut: Nobody Wants This with Kristen Bell… and yes, I’m sad we binged it all.
