Neve Designs: {Review & Giveaway}

Winter’s in Ohio are not the greatest; between the frigid temperatures and the ice storms it can be a major pain.  Even with all of the headaches of winter I love getting outside and playing with my kids in the snow, sledding down the big hill in front of our housel is always a highlight on snowy days.  Of course, there’s always trips to Perfect North for tubing and sledding and skiing, and one always has to look fabulous even when freezing her butt off trying not to break her neck skiing.  No worries though I found an amazing company who makes winter fashion fun, fresh, beautiful, and functional…Neve. 

Neve is a company that believes in providing their customers with the absolute best when it comes to outerwear. For those of you who are not familiar with Neve here’s a little more about them from their website:

Founded in 2002, Neve is a specialty manufacturer of knit sweaters and accessories based in Boulder, Colorado.  Our products are defined by their beauty, quality, and fresh contemporary approach to classic Nordic styling.  Using only the finest materials such as ultra-fine Merino wool and other luxurious and natural fibers, Neve is known for bold patterns, rich colors and active fits.

Neve creates products that are distinctly functional and fashionable both on and off the slopes.  Our commitment is to craftsmanship, customer service and supporting our quality retail partners in North America and Europe.




Visiting Neve’s website is like being instantly transformed to the slopes of Telluride, the colors and patterns of their sweaters and jackets leave you with a feeling of instant warmth like a hot cup of cocoa after a long day on the slopes.  Neve offers a wide variety of fun and fresh fashions for men and women and though their sweaters are number one (at least in my book) I also love the playful patterns and designs of their gorgeous hats and scarves.  Whether you are hitting the slopes in Telluride or hitting the local ice skating rink, Neve will keep you looking and feeling fabulous they whole way!  Did I mention that Neve also offers men’s sweaters as well?  Neve was also just featured in this month’s Snow magazine, but that’s no surprise as their clothes seriously rock!  Don’t forget to check out Neve on Facebook and Tweet them on Twitter!



I received the Annika sweater (pictured above)  from Neve for my review.  The Annika is part of the Val D'Isere Collection, the sweater is a Nordic zip neck sweater made of Ultra-Fine 100% Marino wool.  Now I know what you’re thinking, at least I was thinking it--a wool sweater…that has to be stiff and itchy, but oh not not this sweater.  I have had wool sweaters in the past and avoided wearing them like the plague because they were so uncomfortable, so naturally I was skeptical about how comfy the Annika would  be.  I was beyond pleasantly surprised by how soft and comfortable the sweater was, the wool is luxurious and warm and wearing it reminds me of all of the wonderful winter activities I enjoy most.  I can’t wait for the first good snow fall this winter so that I can slip into my sweater and join my kiddos outside for some winter wonderland fun!  Check out the video below of Neve’s Fall Photo Shoot, I can’t figure out which is more amazing the clothes or the location!

Of course, Neve has many more sweaters, jackets, hats and scarf's, and so much more…you definitely have to check them out!  Here are a few of my favorites! 

The Mona Cropped Jacket…I love this one! How could you not love their scarf’s—rich, vibrant colors, with just a touch of playfulness!
