Two Classy Chics 2012 Holiday Gift Guide
We have another great addition today to our Holiday Gift Guide and it comes from a company over in Ireland called Aran Sweater Market. This company sells authentic high-quality Aran sweaters and Irish knitwear, and has been in business since 1892.
For the review, the company sent us their gorgeous Carroll Clan Aran Sweater to review for all of you. The sweater is hand knitted and comes in a pretty natural (creamy) color.
Product Description (from company’s site): The hand knit Carroll sweater has a blackberry central panel, flanked by cables and moss-filled diamonds on either side. The blackberry stitch is symbolic of the Holy Trinity, the cables represent good luck and the diamonds symbolize wealth. This beautiful Aran sweater has been hand knitted in the traditional báinín (pronounced ‘baw neen’) color, the natural white of the wool. It comes to you complete with a clan history and crest. It is made of 100% pure new wool, is water repellent and breathable. It has been hand crafted in the traditional Irish style, and, with care, will last a lifetime.
The sweater is a heavy-weight sweater and definitely the type of sweater to keep you warm and toasty during the cold winter months. The sizing is very generous, but I do recommend that you order yours true-to-size. It is made out of 100% pure new wool and if you are bothered by wool, wear a camisole or tank underneath the sweater.
I love that the sweater has a generous neck opening and you can pull it on and take it off over your head quite easily. Most sweaters are not generously cut in the arm length but this one is…and I appreciate that since I have longer arms. I also love the length of this sweater which means I can wear it with a skirt, leggings, jeggings or with jeans.
The hand knitting pattern of this sweater is stunning! I love looking at all of the various stitches that make up the pattern of this Aran Sweater. It’s like wearing a work of art, on your body! For cleaning, they recommend dry cleaning or hand wash and the sweater comes with a certificate of authenticity so that you know you are getting a genuine Irish Aran Sweater!
With the holidays coming, this Aran Sweater would make the perfect gift for any guy or gal on your holiday shopping list! It is really affordably priced at only $199.00 which is remarkable for a hand knit sweater like this!
If you are looking for some Irish Aran Sweaters for the holidays, head on over to Aran Sweater Market and take a look around. I think you will be very impressed with what you see and even more impressed at their affordable prices! If you would like to learn more about Irish Clan Sweaters, check out ClanArans.com.

Many of us are well into the grips of Fall and Winter is just around the corner. For some of us, we are planning our Fall, Winter and Holiday vacations and some of those vacations are at tropical destinations. For my husband and I, we …
I live in the upper north east and every winter season, we get hammered with a lot of rain, snow, sleet and ice. When Fall hits, I start preparing my family for the upcoming Winter season by getting us all new coats, sweaters, snow boots, hats and of course, gloves.
When it comes to gloves and mittens, I am pretty picky about them. I don’t like thin and cheap gloves as they don’t keep our hands warm. I also like my gloves a longer length, going a little ways up my forearm. The longer length just keeps our hands warmer for a longer period of time.
Recently I was sent a pair of Women’s Homespun Gloves from Grandoe to review for all of you. The gloves are in an “extended length” style with a little gathering on the sides. The have a knit pattern “moose tracks” pattern on the top and the microsuede palm is water resistant. If you look at the seaming done on the knit pattern part of the gloves, you will see a decorative whip stitch seam which gives them that homespun appearance.
The gloves are what I could call a “medium-weight” glove…not too bulky and definitely not on the “thin” side. They are completely lined in a super soft snowfleece lining that adds a layer of warmth to the gloves.
Now…what makes these gloves even more special is that the snowfleece lining has been treated with Aloe! That’s right, with Aloe! While you are wearing the gloves to keep your hands warm, you are getting a mini spa treatment inside! Aloe is great for softening dry patches of skin on your hands and feet!
I have been wearing my new gloves for over a week now and I absolutely LOVE them! It is already cold here in Pennsylvania and these gloves are doing a great job at keeping my hands warm and my hands are getting softer by the day, thanks to the Aloe! Finally, I think they are super stylish looking and they go great with all of my different winter coats! Yeah!!
The Grandoe Homespun Gloves are available in four unique patterns: Moose Tracks, Snowflake, Rainbow and Lavender. Grandoe products are available in nearly every major market in the United States and in select markets around the world.

I have been very lax on buying new clothing in the past few years. So much so that I finally had to rip up one of my favorite t-shirts the other day so I could use it as a rag because it had so many …
