Sponsored post: Ramblers Way

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was a child, my grandmother used to knitt wool sweaters for me.They were so warm and cozy, eventhough my grandma doesn't knitt me any sweaters now,every winter I get a knitted wool socks from her.
So let me introduce you to Ramblers Way Farm,an eco-friendly company which produces worsted Rambouillet wool garments.The company was founded in 1970 by Tom and Kate Chappell,right now they grow Rambouillet wool in their own sheep farms in Maine and on partner ranches in Colorado, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.

What is worsted wool,you may ask?Wool is spun in a worsted fashion, referring to the way that the fiber is prepared and turned into yarn.Worsted yarn is prepared by aligning wool fiber in parallel, spinning fibers together tightly, and joining them at their ends. This creates a remarkably smooth,strong,soft and uniform fabric.Ramblers Way worsted wool garments are made using superfine, long staple wool, free of those pesky, itchy loose ends.

My favorite from their women appareal collection are Next-to-Skin Scoop Neck Short Sleeve Top and the Next-to-Skin Camisole,both are very versatile and can be worn under anything without bunching or showing.Also,they draw off moisture and repell odors.

Ramblers Way wool garments are natural, non-synthetic, and chemical-free so you don't have to worry about damaging the enviroment.

Lanvin anniversary totes&stamps

I know that they are old news, but I wanted to post them a while ago and I forgot.

The Lanvin house founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin is 120 this year,to celebrate Alber Elbaz designed a series of totes and stamps.Lanvin dolls are represented in each sketch on the totes&stamps.
The pretty stamps are for the French post and they will be available next year.Anyone from France keen to send me a postcard/letter or whatever?

The totes have grosgrain ribbon trim and two top handles, brass-tone eyelets at top, a zipped internal pocket and are fully lined in crease-effect satin-twill and cost 800$.Although they are Lanvin,I think that 800$ for a tote bag is a little too much:)

Do you like the Lanvin totes?Which one is your fav?

mine is the red Love one.

The bags are available on net-a-porter and here is an interesting article on how to get Lanvin stamps if don't live in France.
