The sweaters that have stolen my heart
I had seen a Max Mara cable knit sweater that I had been debating splurging on. Ultimately I decided against it, but it sent me down a rabbit hole of looking into sweaters I could equally fall in love with. So now, I have some sweaters for you. Yes, where I currently live, spring starts…
