Now, if you're anything like me, you've been planning for the really cold weather that's about to hit soon, whether we like it or not. That's why I agreed to review one of YAK Apparel's fabulously stylish and {dare I say?} trendy faux fur trapper hats to keep me warm this winter! Having grown up in the Northeast and now living in the Midwest I'd like to think I'm uniquely qualified to give my opinion on this.

Blue wool Trapper hat with partial gray faux fur and fleece lining, and with tassel pom poms.

I chose this beauty, and it does not disappoint! Call me crazy but I especially love the pom-poms! I remember having a hat with pom-poms like this when I was a little girl. {And I loved that one, too.}

Their hats come in many different styles and colors, and they have beanies and head wraps, too! Just go HERE to see them all and enter the giveaway. Entries are low so you have a good chance of winning if you do!

I hope you're all managing to keep warm and enjoy what's left of the "fall" season. I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving myself. Especially after I get all those fabulous printables printed!

Have a great week!

xoxo

I was honored to receive two shout-out/features this past week from Samantha at Crafty Texas Girls on Facebook and Angie from Knick of Time. Samantha's party, Cowgirl Up, is a fun party that's coordinated by 4 awesome bloggers. You can check them out at my friend Anita's Cedar Hill Ranch blog here. And Angie's party, Knick of Time Tuesday, is for all you vintage-loving gals.
