"  It&amp;#039;s days like today, when the temperature barely reaches the 30-degree mark and the wind sweeps even the sturdiest bodies off the curb and into traffic, that women with even earlobe-length hair cause me to think really, really bitter thoughts.  Well, great for you, I muttered to myself this morning as a Blake Lively look-alike with perfectly applied royal blue eyeliner and a cascade of head-warming curls took the first taxi to come down our Chelsea street in close to 20 freezing minutes. Fighting the urge to wish standstill traffic on her (after all, she was there first and I did spy a few dog hairs on her coat, which automatically informed me she was someone I couldn&amp;#039;t hate), I reached into my bag for a mint and felt something deliciously furry\u2014and warm!\u2014between my fingers. My hat! My brand-new black and white, tie at the chin, alpaca skullcap! How could I have forgotten that the night before I&amp;#039;d been so responsible as to pack it in my bag for what I knew would be the coldest day in months? Last February, in one of my first posts for ELLE.com, I was given the opportunity to attend and write a review of Yeohlee Teng&amp;#039;s FW09 runway show, during which I fell for one of my favorite pieces from not only the avant garde designer&amp;#039;s but from the entire season: a snuggly, ugly-pretty alpaca winter hat she dubbed a `skullcap&amp;#039;. In the post, I playfully entreated Yeohlee to please help keep my head warm, it never occurring to me that 10 months later a box would show up on my desk with my very own removable alpaca head of hair and a card that read, &amp;quot;Surprised?&amp;quot;  Yes, Yeohlee, I am. Overwhelmingly so. My ears and I thank you for your design, your good memory, and your thoughtfulness.   Until someone comes up with an alpaca weave, Yeohlee&amp;#039;s skullcap is the winter must for pixie-d girls everywhere (to get yours, please contact the lovely people at Yeohlee&amp;#039;s showroom) Photos: Imaxtree (and your author) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
