Cupcakes and Cashmere

Nesting

November 12th, 2009

It seems as though it gets dark these days right around lunchtime and I have an insatiable desire to stay home and nest.  My weekend mornings are spent curled up in bed with bottomless cups of coffee and piles of magazines while my nights are filled with movies and candy.

What comforts you in the fall?

    thick tights or leggings, my boyfriend’s cooking and cuddling on our couch are the first things that come to mind =)

    What comforts me in the fall are scented candles (hazelnut, apple pie…) and a mug of hot tea.

    Love the cozy feel of those photos and words…makes me wish I could curl up in bed wearing Uggs with movies and coffee instead of going to work where I throw my heater out and sprawl out in front of the computer wearing heels. At least I still get coffee!!! I know how you feel though…it’s only been a week or two since Daylight Savings and I’m already over it….I want the daylight back!

    I love curling up on the couch under my favorite afghan and watching my favorite TV shows on DVD. So comforting.

    I make hot cocoa almost every night these days. Not just hot cocoa though. I bought at Whole Foods this AMAZING cocoa powder, like 70% cocoa from somewhere in S. America. Then warm up low-fat milk and mix in the chocolate. Dash of whipped cream and I’m ready to nest!

    Movies in the dark with some fresh popped popcorn. Thats my winter night comfort. Followed with some ice cream of course!

    My Pea Coat and Burberry Scarf. Herbal tea. Fires in the fireplace with real wood. Snuggling on the couch with my cats and husband watching November sweeps TV. Baking cookies.

    hot chocolate, yoga pants, fire in the fireplace, books and red wine! i LOVE fall coziness!

    I do the exact same thing. :) The only difference is that I kind of do both at the same time. I’ll snuggle up in bed with a movie on and flip through my magazines, hehe.

    Oh and we can’t forget the cozy pajama bottoms. I almost put them on instantly when I get home.

    I love a drinking a big mug of tea and reading a pile of magazines under a light blanket. Plus, my fleece pants for lounging. ahhhh… fall.

    such cute pictures! movies are definitely one of them, my pink fuzzy ballet-like slippers, homemade soups + chowders, pumpkin spice candles and salted caramel hot chocolates from Starbucks.

    I’m like a bear that goes into hibernation during winter – I’m right there with you on getting cozy! I have this lavender neck wrap that you heat up in the microwave… its ridiculous. I highly recommend hunting one down.

  • http://heartandcrafts.blogspot.com/ Kat

    definitely coffee and tea and lots of cardigans and scarves. oh and the firepit in our backyard has been getting a lot of use lately- with a flannel blanket on of course!

  • Jade

    Away We Go was so great. My husband and I seriously think we should be getting paid royalties for that movie because we ARE that couple… so good. P.S. I’m loving Feather report!

  • Jenny

    fun! i want to spend every day like this!

    You are a girl after my own heart – I love weekend bottomless cups of coffee and magazine time!

  • http://mypreciousconfessions.blogspot.com cocorosa

    hahaha me too!!! I’m curled up watching movies with snickers, M&M’s and an endless supply of potato chips :) and yes slow weekend mornings, and if it gets even colder I have my winter ritual; cozy blankets, hot chocolate with whipped cream and warm apple pie and movie marathons, its the best thing about the weather getting cold :)

    Oh you sleep with your shoes on! It’s getting cold here now, and only socks comfort me on cold nights. =D

    I am comforted by tea, scarves, UGG boots, and my bf & dog.

    Lately, it’s taken the dripping of the coffee machine to get me out of bed! Cold mornings are the worst!

  • http://www.ciaochessa.com Chessa!

    sounds like my kind of weekend…
    what makes me happy in the fall? cashmere socks, pashmina scarves, hooded sweatshirts, tea after dinner, wearing slippers at home…so many things:)

  • http://thecoastalchicster.blogspot.com The Coastal Chicster

    my favorite thing to do when the weather gets all cold and crazy is cuddle up on the douch and watch a movie or read a good book – in pretty lingerie, soft cotton leggings, my tall Ugg boots, and a cozy sweater. :) (and my pretty white vintage-y looking cotton knit blanket if i’m still cold)

  • Julia

    Lovely post: I love hibernating! Really want a cashmere throw or blanket that isn’t $1000! Where did you find yours? xo

  • http://www.heliotrollop.com Kim

    I’ve sworn that I’m not leaving the bathtub until March at the earliest. I probably shouldn’t be on the computer.

  • http://www.hautewhimsy.com Jen

    Coffee, boots, steamy baths, NAP products (from Brookstone), and of course some great novels to cuddle up with!

  • sarah

    (my favorite cup of creamy earl grey from secret garden tea company + peanut butter and jam sandwich + soft blanket ) = heaven !!!

  • http://www.its-phresh-produce.blogspot.com AJA

    lovely!! I am all over the cashmere blankie and sweaters…especially during this season…once again miss emily super cute

  • http://fashionnative.com Lexy

    Sounds like the perfect fall activities!

  • http://littleinsomniaclolita.blogspot.com/ andhari

    I love laying in bed with warm blankets and books on such cold days too :)

  • http://thestylistadiaries.blogspot.com Victoria

    I love Mike & Ike’s! (sans the red colored ones though–they taste too much like Vicks 44 cold medicine-ick!). I see that you have UP on dvd. That is such a great movie! Hope you enjoyed it!

    I still wear my Ugg boots, and I don’t care if people hate them, they are just one of my staples for the winter season! In the fall/winter, I love anything Pumpkin flavored, and spending Sundays curled up in sweatpants and sweatshirt, lounging and watching tv all day long. Perfect ending to a cold weekend! Brr!

    xoxo,
    Victoria
