Cozy Winter Comforters

On this first day of "spring" semester, I woke up to swirling, twirling, beautiful snowflakes. The novelty of snow itself has quickly worn off - I don't know how to walk in it, and it takes me much more time than it should to navigate the sidewalks. However, there is still something magical about watching these tiny ice crystals fall from the sky. I'm sure that too will get old quick!

As pretty as the snow looks, I still wouldn't choose to wander around in it. Oh no, I'd much rather spend a snowy day curled up on my couch or in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a warm blanket. I absolutely love blankets and bedding collections, especially those from Anthropologie. While they’re outrageously expensive, they look so divine that I’m almost tempted to spend the money on them. Keyword being almost.

Rivulets Quilt

I absolutely LOVE this bedding from Anthroplogie! I'm waiting for the Euro shams to come in this cream color; they already have a place reserved on my bed! It's ruffly and romantic and girly...and that to me equals love.

Tuxedo Bedding

This is also from Anthroplogie and has an equal ruffly and romantic feel. I love the way their designers mixed this simple tuxedo bedding with bright, colorful sheets! This is definitely a runner-up to the previous bedding since it doesn't exactly work with the comforter I already have. Come on, I'm a poor graduate student, I can barely afford the pillows I'm buying, let again a whole new bedding set!

Laerke Duvet

 And to prove to all of you that I don't have some bizarre dislike of color, here is this adorable duvet from Urban Outfitters. Orange and yellow are my two favorite colors - yellow is so happy and can instantly brighten my mood, and I have a soft spot for orange ever since I became a Clemson Tiger. I seriously thought about getting these pillows, but I'm not sure how they'd look with my current bedding. I'll have to think about that a little more...

Wherever you are, I hope you stay nice and cozy and warm during these chilly winter months! Just remember, sooner or later it'll be 90+ degrees and you'll be begging for this cooler weather!
