It's not hardcore outerwear, but the Sylvie jacket is plenty thick and warm, and I get compliments every time I wear it. Below-the-hips length and a collar that buttons up like a turtleneck or can be worn open: versatility, comfort, just the ticket!

In search of a hybrid shoe that my 2 year old son could wear just about anywhere, I bought the Teva Omnium, and was very pleasantly surprised. He literally wears them every day, with or without socks, and from what I can tell, finds them very comfortable (no complaints, unlike some other sandals). Easy velcro on/off, plus good foot coverage for active little feet! These are much more than just a "water shoe".

I now have two pair of Tambora Gene pants, so I guess I'm pretty happy with them. Love the soft micro-cord fabric, long length and the fit is good--except the waist gapes in back so a belt is necessary. I'm 5'6" 120lb and the size 8 are just a little loose on me, but that's fine for chasing the kids around & traveling. The overall look of these pants is fairly casual, with the raw edge hems. Wish they came in other colors...green, blue, black, anything.

I like my Sultana vest--gorgeous quilted detailing, beautiful lavender color--but it's not love because I find it to be a little stiff and the fabric does not give, so it's fine for walking but if I'm doing anything more vigorous, I find that it constricts my movement. The collar is somewhat high and gets in the way sometimes, but maybe that's just me! It does provide some thermal protection, though, so I'm okay with it, just not wowed.
