Friend and Faux.

It's ten below in Lapland, Sweden and I'm a bit underdressed.

A dusky-hued winter wonderland awaits compliments of the phenomena known as The Polar Nights.

Not even Monet saw colors like this.

Well, maybe Monet.

Fortunately, I'm in my hotel at the time that manages to keep the heat at a "comfortable" 38 degrees.

Kajsa, the Inn Keeper, approaches with another aquavit to take the chill off, wearing a hooded scarf and matching pair of mittens.

Two words came to mind: warm and adorable.

These enchanting items are made from, I find out, faux-rabbit. For those of us who appreciate our furry friends, as I do.

The mittens are fleece-lined and feel like home.

The leather trim gives both pieces a sophisticated twist.
