I was inspired by the changing of seasons. The vibrant colors of fall, the chilling bite of the winter wind, and the fallen leaves that crunch beneath my boots remind me of the walks with my dad and his dog, Teddi, at their favorite park in Boulder City, Nevada. The desert can be quite cold and windy in the winter, and easy-to-wear accessories are essential to me when I bundle up! The Arboreta cowl makes for an attractive and colorful accessory peeking out of the top of that winter coat!
