The Great American Apparel Diet

no buying for one year

I think what I crave most when I think of dieting would most definitely be comfort food. I love mac and cheese ala Tom Douglas, pahd thai, chicken and dumplings, rice pudding….. you get the idea. Well there seems to be an apparel diet equivalent….. slippers and cosy throw blankets!  I just purchased the greatest (I hope) moroccan slippers from www.babouche-maroc.com After spending many lazy weeks in Morocco on our honeymoon, I came home always regretting not having  brought back a bag full of their soft lamb hide slippers. If lamb is not your taste, the next best cozy shoe  can be found at www.lesindiennes.com Yummy boiled wool, just perfect for the rains and grey weather to come. And what is a good slipper without a wrap? The most incredible mohair throw ever can be ordered through www.heirloomweaversnz.com . They are made by hand in delicious colors. Don’t let the website put you off, I just ordered my second in as many years. For a little zippier taste try a stripey wool blanket from Whales through www.melintregwynt.co.uk . Now just pick up a good page turner of a book (The Likeness by Tana French has my attention right now) and a nice cup of tea, hang out at home and you are all set to completely relish in the flavours of comfort food….. Great American Apparel Diet style.  I don’t know what the rest of the year will bring but so far I am actually kind of loving this diet.
