Autumn&Winter || f e l t H A T S

I am not necessarily a hat person, but when I tried on my first wool felt hat I felt like I was a new person—way trendier than I am. Often associated with ultra-Orthodox non-Hasidic Jews, felt hats have trickled down into the hands of all-seasonal trendsetters. Perfect for both men and women; felt hats can be dressed up or dressed down. Just be sure to find the perfect shape for your face.

Autumn&Winter | S C A R V E S

I love the in-between seasons; the ones that many countries don’t seem to get. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a place where I could experience all types of weather conditions; the only thing Vancouver lacks is consistency. It is the worst thing to wake up thinking that it is sunny outside (& dressing accordingly) thereafter being blasted by a gust of wind and showers, which accompany lunch. My solution: a scarf!

I don’t know if it is because the words autumn and winter make me think of the word cozy, but I love a good, thick, knit scarf. There is no comparison to the practicality and stylish nature that is interwoven through the use of a scarf. Fortunate for you, this season stores everywhere will carry many styles that can match whatever occasion you may be dressing for. Check back here for some sample scarves to cozy up with this season.

A bit of traveling

We are two lucky women who have the opportunity to travel to two very different places in the next couple weeks! Something tells me Rachel made the better choice - I'm leaving an autumn paradise on the west coast to venture into something slightly more chilly. We're excited to share snippets of everything we loved on our travels.

And after? All things NUMERIC are about to get a little bit more tangible!

This is how it starts

To me, nothing is scarier than a blank page. I don't claim this to be a unique fear at all, but it still is particularly crippling. In art classes I've often had to convince myself to start by making a bold, irreversible mark on the canvas. Only from there could I take a breath, realize that my projects could always allow for growth and change, and move on.

Making a mark is kind of like admitting something to yourself. Admitting that you do want to take that step. That you are going to move in that direction. That you do, in a sense, believe that you can.

There's a lot about NUMERIC that Rachel and I are excited about. There's a lot of growth we can see happening here, and that inspires us to no end. But the problem with starting something is that once you say it (or write it) out loud, suddenly there's something that can be taken away from you. Something to lose. But this project is a lot about taking those chances. It's a lot about naming those things that inspire you. It's a lot about taking all that inspiration and creating something beautiful, whether or not it is taken away.

We're just starting out, but we want to invite you along in the journey. We're so thrilled about where this could go and we'd love to have your support. And plus, I read somewhere that if you give something away, it can't be taken from you...so we're here to give you all the inspiration you need.
