When we came back from Corsica, we were greeted by a fog so thick the majority of the weekend we could hardly see across the street. The trees would peek out only occasionally.
The gloomy, grey mist and sharp cold were the perfect welcome back to fall reality. All I wanted to do was curl up with a book on the couch, huddle under thick blankets and slurp hot soup to try to shake the chill. I guess, sometimes the best way to greet the cold weather is to simply submit to it. The thick brume has since left us so I'm looking forward to spending lots of time outside this weekend. No matter the weather though, I hope you find a way to keep warm this weekend!
Here are my three picks for keeping cozy:
1. Curling up with a good book - Bringing up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel, the only woman to win the Man Booker prize twice, it looks easy to get lost in the pages. On a fluffier, chick-lit note, 50 Shades of Grey has arrived in France. Thinking I might just have to add that to my book pile, too. Have you read it?
2. Homemade soup on the stove - One of my new favorite recipes for tomato soup. If you still have a couple good tomatoes left, it's easy and delicious.
3. Bundling up with lots of layers - Really pretty scarves keep you warmer. It's a proven fact. I like these from fashionABLE, not only do they look good and keep your neck warm, they also help create sustainable business for women in Africa. It's a win-win.
By the way, these are not sponsored links, just things I like and couldn't help sharing.
So don't hold out on me, what are your picks for enjoying a chilly, fall weekend?
