THINGS I LOVE: Earmuffs

Oh man, it got crazy around here. I've been neglecting this blog sorely in the hustle and bustle of scurrying to do makeup work, get my work in, and get some work done ahead of time so that my Thanksgiving weekend won't be filled with non-stop homework. But I went up to Boston to visit a friend at MIT and it is so pretty here, if extremely cold. What can I say, I have such a fondness for red brick buildings. (My friend disagrees...she says everything breaks. Oh dear!)

But the cold has highlighted the importance of something in my wardrobe...or rather, something that my wardrobe lacks.

EARMUFFS!!

A Bryn Mawr friend has this pair from Uniqlo:

And at $12.90, they are a steal! Not to mention in honor of Black Friday, Uniqlo is offering a free gift with every purchase.

A Princeton friend of mine once very sadly announced that it was so cold he was reduced to using his headphones as earmuffs...and man, they were not effective at all. Well I would offer to him these (only slightly girly) earmuff + headphone combination pair from Target:

But what's really catching my eye...are these panda earmuffs from JCPenney!

They are so perfect for me that I can't take it! Its little mismatched eyes...but if pandas aren't your thing, they offer a number of other options, like sock monkeys, koala bears, lions, and kittens. Either way, how adorable are these?

True...you could just clap a hat on over your head to keep your ears warm, but where's the fun in that? This way you can look cute AND prevent hat hair from sneaking onto your scalp.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!
