In the words of Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ‘I want the world, I want the whole world, I want to lock it all up in my pocket, It’s my bar of chocolate, Give it to me now‘ - and when I say ‘it’, i mean a nice warm winter beret.

It must be the cold weather as I am channelling Veruca Salt at the moment and not in the best mood - it is not pretty. It is so cold and I need something snugly and warm to keep my ears toasty. Even my mouse hand is feeling the cold. Luckily I was somewhat mollified today as I found a huge variety of berets out there in Melbourne.

A great accessory, berets are cheap, stylish and easy to wear.  Even better you don’t need to do your hair. My favourite is the slouchy french connection, confection. Now all I need is something for my cold poor mouse hand. My man sent me this link today mouse hand warmer (I really must have been channelling Veruca this morning….)
