This winter is all about the cozy fabrics and textures, and velvet is at the top of that pile for me lately. You can see my last velvet outfit (HERE!) that is a bit more dressed up, but still all the cozy and soft feels. It's all I'm wearing in these super cold Kansas City temps (we've hit the negative degrees in the first time in a long time).
Therefore, another must getting me through winter (and the post-holiday break blues and cobwebs): coffee. Give me all the coffee. Yesterday was my first day back to work after a great (and super busy) holiday break. That's always a transition, because even though holiday break is only a bit over a week, I quickly fall into a new routine with the kids home, freedom for naps and lots of adventures, many friends and family in town with tons of visits and gatherings.
But it's nice to get back into a "real" routine, too. And more than anything, I'm super grateful to work for a company that gives us this time off (separate from our vacation days)!
But! Back to the coffee - I have to share one of my favorite Kansas City coffee shops (situated on my way to work that leads to frequent visits). Hi Hat is the cutest little coffee shop (they serve some pastries, too!) that is made out of an old gas station. They make amazingly delicious and unique lattes (my favorite is the Bee High - which is a latte with milk of choice - I get coconut - and honey) and, of course, serve up you basics needs, too. If you are in KC, try 'em!
