A Dash of Panache

Jeff returned after a month long stint of accounting busy seasoning in Ohio and we were both thrilled! We made it through January, the month we had been dreading, and it wasn't even that bad. The weeks went by surprisingly fast (thankfully) and I even got to visit Jeff during one of the weekends in between, which made the separation more bearable. When he got home we partied! Actually his flight was a bit delayed on Friday night due to all of the snow and wintry weather we're having here, so we started the party on Saturday.

We ventured into Harvard Square with our pals Jake and Rose to eat a delectable belgian waffle breakfast at one of our favorite Boston eateries: Zinneken's. It was most enjoyable and delicious as always. We noticed several people in the restaurant wearing those Canadian Goose coats, and started talking about how expensive they are and whether the coats really merit the hefty price tag. Jake asked one girl where she got hers and she said The Tannery, a boutique just down the street. Just for the heck of it we decided to pop into The Tannery to check out these extreme weather jackets for ourselves. Jeff and I both tried a Canada Goose jacket on and can say that they will for sure keep you toasty, at least when you're indoors lol.

 

We did not get the chance to try them in the winter chill, but I'm fairly certain they would stand the test. They come with a lifetime warranty, and I'm told you'll never have to buy another winter jacket lol. Tempting if you live in Boston where it is relentlessly cold and have an extra $800 burning a hole in your pocket : )

After the coat store we saw a really cool looking hat shop next door called Goorin Bros. We all wanted to check it out, and we ended up spending the next hour being charmed by the delightful employees who flitted around us pulling down different hats and letting us try them on with various accessories. The store itself was so cool! Lovely wooden floors adorned with giant rugs, shelves filled with the most beautiful hats you've ever seen, a sweeping staircase, and a couple of sliding ladders to add to the charm. The whole thing was very enchanting, so much so that three out of the four of us left with hats in hand. I mean, they had hat boxes! How could we not get one?
