Aaand…just one more Gap hat, this time a recommendation from reader Caroline. Apparently this Sweater Knit Trapper Hat makes your head look quite large, but is unbelievably soft and cozy. Oddly enough, this hat doesn’t seem to be available on the US Gap site, but you can order it here. 

Now that the weather has made a decisive turn for the worse, I’m stockpiling gloves, hats, and the like, but am faced with a minor storage problem: I don’t want them strewn all about the house (ahem, husband), but we don’t have any drawers in close proximity to our front door (well, we have one, but it’s full to overflowing with umbrellas and other junk). I keep my scarves hung on a wall-mounted coatrack in our office and have been piling all my winter accessories into a straw basket by the door, but the basket idea just looks kind of…messy. So I’m wondering: what do those of you with small apartments and storage issues do with your winter accessories when they’re constantly in use?
