Here in the north east our Fall and Winter seasons can be brutal! We get a lot of snow, freezing rain, ice and of course…freezing temperatures. For many of us, we sport around hats, caps, scarves, ear muffs and all kinds of warm accessories to keep our heads & ears warm.
Dorfman Pacific recently launched the Fall/Winter Scala Collezione collection of boiled wool hats that are very fashion forward this season. The eco-friendly process of altering the material eliminates the usage of harsh chemicals while effectively shrinking the wool. Subsequently, the heat traps air chambers, forming a natural barrier against hot and cold temperatures and the bitter cold wind. The felt like texture is softer, warmer and eliminates the itchy feeling associated with wool.
Scala Collezione’s collection of boiled wool is perfect for teens and women of every age. The item #LW242 is a newsboy best seller that is satin lined and designed to protect the wearer’s hair. The popular item #LW399 is a cloche that comes in 14 different colors to match any outfit or coat. The #LW316 features two tones and bow detailing in 5 different color combinations. These styles and colors are very fashion forward this season!
I was sent a complimentary #LW242 cadet style hat for my review in the pretty olive color. The boiled wool hat is satin lined and in a one-size fits most. The back of the hat has a little elastic gusset which makes it very comfortable to wear. The front has a smaller sized “bill” and I really appreciate that as I am not into wearing baseball caps! This hat is so much more stylish than that!
I have an olive green colored jacket with faux-fur trim that I purchased last year and this styled boiled wool hat goes along with that jacket perfectly. I think it’s a style that works great for more people and I love how it covers up most of my ears but leaves the bottom portion of my ears out (great for when I am wearing my earrings).
Overall, I really LOVE my new hat and absolutely would love to have more of them in additional colors. You can find this new collection for purchase online at Hartford York for around $30.00 each. A great addition to your Fall and Winter wardrobe for sure!

As a plus sized woman, I know how hard it can be to find quality lingerie that fits properly. If you are blessed with a bit more on top or on bottom, finding the right fit can be tough! I know, I have been there time and time again Thankfully I found a lovely shop that is geared for full figures and I was excited to be able to review some products for them and share with you today.
Hips and Curves is an online plus sized lingerie shop that caters to women that need help fitting all of their great curves. They offer great looking lingerie of all types including panties, bras, sleepwear, robes, shapewear, and much more! I chose 2 great items to review for you.
The Super Soft and Comfy Lace Trim Boyshort and the Alexa Push-up Demi Bra are just what I needed to replenish my basics for the fall. I think that panties are much like socks when they hit the wash. You never get back the same amount that went in!
The Boyshort I got is in a lovely charcoal color. It is very soft and I love the lace trim. I enjoy the boyshort style because it is full coverage in the back and it is super comfortable to wear. This one is made with 95% rayon and 5% spandex for a nice comfy fit. I got it a size bigger than I normally wear since their sizing chart was a bit different and they are a tad loose, but very comfortable. These are definitely a pair I would wear everyday. It feels like I have nothing on. woohoo! 🙂 So comfy! Plus right now they are on sale, so I can stock up and save on 3 pairs! Thumbs up!
The Alexa Bra is considered a padded push up bra. I was a bit concerned about the padded portion because I certainly do not need a padded bra, but this is more like a cushioned lining. I barely noticed it at all. It is covered in a lovely lace for a bit of feminine prettiness that we need every so often. I have not worn an underwire bra in a while so I was not so sure about that, but I ordered up a bit in this one to make sure that it fit well and it worked like a charm. I usually get smooth cups with no seams so when I saw there was a seam on this cup, I was not too sure about how that would feel. I made sure to wash the bra before wearing and it did fine. There has been no irritation at all. I think the padding/lining really helped with that. Make sure to check their sizing chart on your items as it could be a bit different from what you normally order.

I have several sweatpants specific just for when I exercise or go running. Some of the sweats don’t even have pockets for my phone, my keys or my wallet! When they DO have pockets, it totally weighs down my pants. Also, when I run, it …
