Another recent purchase, in addition to the Madewell Transport Tote from this post, that has moved to the front of my favorites line is the Kate Spade Plaid Blanket Scarf. I was tentative about this purchase because I have been reckless in cold weather gear purchases but fell in love with this scarf immediately.
The style comes in two colorways; the beige one shown in this post is currently sold out online after going on sale but the blue is still available through Bloomingdale’s and Lord + Taylor.
And some great reads for your consideration:
