Keep Warm with Short Hair This Winter

Posted on November 18, 2009 by Sarah Ward

We women need some help in keeping warm during the winter. This article goes out to my short hair sisters! As a short hair girl myself, here are several great ways to keep warm, despite the lack of locks, during the frigid winter months. When snuggling isn’t an option, here’s the next best ways to keep warm!

Keep Warm With Short Hair This Winter Tip #1: Wear a Scarf. It’s incredible how having a scarf around your neck keeps you warm with the temperature drops! Gals, don’t leave home without a scarf!

Who says a scarf has to be boring? Loving this linked scarf from Absalom. $38

Keep Warm With Short Hair This Winter Tip #2: Wear a Hat. The most heat escapes from our head, so keeping a hat on will trap in the heat and help you keep warm during the winter months. Plus, how fashionable are hats! I used to think that hats never looked good on me, but I’d been trying on the wrong hats. The next time you pass a hat store, meander in and try them on! You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Keep Warm With Short Hair This Winter Tip #3: Embrace Earwarmers! If you don’t want to mess up your carefully crafted coif with a hat, embrace earwarmers! They’re a great way to keep warm in the winter without compromising your hairdo.

Canadian Jewelry Designers

In honor of Canada Day (July 1st), Cable Car Couture has devoted today’s post to three wonderful Canadian jewelry designers from Vancouver, Canada–my beloved hometown. It is a hub of creativity and artistry, and these jewelry designers are excellent examples of that.

Canadian Jewelry Designer #1: Bella-Bijou Jewelry

The designer of Bella-Bijou Jewelry, Jaime Pickering, says that most of her designs come to her in her dreams. She uses the pure metals–sterling silver, 14K gold, brass–instead of plated metals.

CHICKADEE Hoops $26

PETAL hoops $22

HIP TO BE SQUARE $28

Canadian Jewelry Designer #2: Baby Loves Pink

Baby Loves Pink jewelry proceeds goes towards her college tuition–and her prices are so reasonable that even students can afford them. They also make me hungry. You’ll see why

Pretzel Necklace $7.95

Carton of Eggs $9.50

Mini Oreo Cookie Necklace $10

Don’t you have a hankering for an Oreo now?

Canadian Jewelry Designer #3: BuenoStyle Vintage

BuenoStyle creates vintage, one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly jewelry and is a big believer in supporting local businesses. Their studio is on Main Street in Vancouver, right over Liberty Bakery, a delightful bakery owned by my friends’ grandparents! If you’re in town, stop by for a visit
