| LOOKS FOR THANKSGIVING: |

today i went out to j.crew and h&m to find a thanksgiving outfit.  disclaimer i already had an outfit put together but the weather in san diego on thursday is like a warm summer day (89 inland)!  my key to a successful thanksgiving look is simple: it's all about comfort.  you are eating all day so an elastic waist is so important to me.  i also think wearing baggy is ok as long as it's chic--- think a frock dress. i love getting dressed up for holidays,  i hope you all have your outfits put together; if not all these looks work for any coast and are all present collections.

look one // woven, skirt, tights, booties. look two // sweater, legging, boots. look three // sweater, legging, heel

| GET INSPIRED: THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPES |

with thanksgiving just about a week away there is lots of planning going on: after multiple plans falling through thanksgiving will be held at my parents this year.  my parents just did a big remodel so i think my mom is really excited to host her first holiday there (especially with my sis and brother-in-law back in town).  i have volunteered for mashed potatoes + gravy, rolls and pies..oh yes, most importantly, to me, the tablescapes.  i love sprucing up a table: here's what is currently inspiring me. hope you are all having a great week. xx

THANKFUL FOR...

Today I helped a variety of women shop for their Thanksgiving outfit.  I've never really done retail so it's been a little treat to step out of my usual job (we go into retail mode during Holiday season). While I was driving home from my 6th store of the day I got to thinking: 1- I feel so incredibly blessed to be employed 2- I feel even more blessed to help all these different women- It's amazing what a great top does to ones confidence!  3- Where in the heck has this year gone!!!??  and finally 4- What the heck am I planning on wearing Thursday? ...beat... black. I never know how many serving's of sweet potatoes or green been casserole I'll dive into ;)

*I drooled over #5 last year and got them in nude.  

They are comfy, classic, and you can dress them up or down!
