Tartan Hugs by the Cupcaketologist

My amazing, gorgeous, and incredibly talented friend Jessica L. Pizzo, the world famous Cupcaketologist, has literally just set up shop on Etsy to sell these adorable (and reversable!) stoles that she designs and creates herself.

Christmastime conjurs very specific visions for me: warms cozies, gifted frivolities, yard upon yard of bright, crisp tartan. There is so much ceremony involved with the unveiling of each holiday ornament - be it destined for a fir branch or for chilly, satin-draped shoulders. What better way to stay toasty than with a festive, (faux-) furry wrap?

Jessica is a force to be reckoned with: champion tennis player, wizard in the kitchen, ace iPhone photographer, globe trotter, lover of Americana, and now an entrepreneur slinging handmade "hugs". World, I have met my stole-mate.


I cannot imagine a more perfect gift for the holidays. This wrap makes me want to pin my hair up, slip into a pencil skirt, and do a gin-soaked twist at P.J. Clarke's.


Congratulations on your latest venture, Jessica!
