You can’t deny the cozy feels that winter brings out in all of us. From home, to our wardrobes, down to the food we cook, it’s all about comfort. The pace slows down and you notice yourself spending more time enjoying the little things that come from cool temps and more time indoors. It might be the scent of mulled wine on the stove or pulling on your favorite knit. We wanted to capture that in this issue, but of course, in a non-traditional way (because sometimes traditional needs an update). We focus on a winter gathering because, while everyone can log on to Pinterest and gather ideas for a traditional holiday party, we want to give you the inspiration and encouragement to have your own unique holiday get-together.
