Prairie Underground.

I live in this hoodie (the short shawl hoodie).  They no longer make the color I have, but you can see it here.

And this is my favorite yoga-teaching cover-up (or warm-up piece.)  It's the Bandanna Dress in Bruise.

So well-made, all organic materials, and domestically produced (in Seattle).  Their pieces are so flattering and feminine, yet functional (read: I don't have to worry about ruining them, or going about my day).  And the colors!  Oh, yes.  They are deliciously rich and vibrant.  Everything is so beautiful.  Oooh-wee!  All hail Prairie Underground.

Ozetta Cowls.

  One of my favorite Etsy finds.  I have the Tok Thermal in black.  Plus, I am planning to order the Newbern Cowl in glacier.  And another in eggplant. They're so snuggly and warm!  If it's cold and windy where you live, I highly suggest one of these.

My Tok Thermal, pictured, is my new winter essential.

Raincoat.

It's very odd that I live in a place with so much rain and general precipitation and, until recently, didn't own a raincoat.  What?!  The other day, I was cleaning out my place and discovered a Patagonia gift card with credit still left.  So I picked up this little baby:

Patagonia's Torrentshell Jacket

It packs down so nicely!  See?

Seems like it'll be perfect for travel, since it's lightweight and stows away easily, which is always a major plus.  I plan to bring it camping this spring!  (And maybe to rainier climates this summer, hint hint!)  Of course, the day after it arrived, it rained in San Francisco, so I was ultra-happy with my purchase.  It works great, and the color makes me so happy, even when the weather is really crappy.

Smart Wool.

I really don’t want this blog to just be about buying “stuff” and capitalism and shopping and acquiring more things we all probably could do without if we were really honest with ourselves.  Insert a big however here, because I’m obsessed-in-love with this shirt from Smart Wool. 

It’s amazingly perfect for layering (a crucial skill in San Francisco) and as a coverup for yoga.  I've been wearing it constantly since I bought it at the member's coupon weekend for every occasion: work, yoga, going out, sleeping.  It is so soft yet really sturdy.  It comes in gorgeous colors (I have the purple) and goes beautifully with anything.  I’m already plotting getting it in another color or two.

Yum!
