One of my favorite new Thanksgiving traditions has become drinking mimosas in the morning with my mom and Oma (that’s right, my 90 year old Oma loves a good mimosa!). Of course this is normally after my brothers and I run a 5K because we’re that family now. And then I like to eat cinnamon rolls and watch the Macy’s Day Parade. But no matter how you spend you Thanksgiving morning, I think this festive Thanksgiving mimosa will make your morning more fun.

Do you know what you’re wearing on Thursday? I know a lot of people plan outfits for Thanksgiving WEEKS in advance, but if you’re like me…you usually just pick out something last minute in your closet. I do love buying clothes for holidays (as long as I can rewear them after) but I also believe there are some hidden gems in your closet, and Thanksgiving is the time to bring them out. So here is some inspiration!

My first gift guide of the season! I always really like making these guides because I always need to do a bunch of research on gifts…because I’m not the best gift giver. Hey, I can admit it! I like finding great deals and bargains online, but also things that are worth the splurge. First up: gifts for the friend who is always cold! (which is basically me… in case you were wondering).

We’ve all been there. Life gets overwhelming and complicated. We revert into ourselves and things just feel ‘off’. We feel low and unworthy and just not our best selves. This feeling is not new to me and is one of the main reasons I started going to therapy. So if you’ve ever felt this way, I wanted you to know that 1. you’re not alone because 2. I deal with this all the time. Whether its because of stress or heartbreak or anxiety or…anything, here are some ways I’ve helped myself get out of a funk.

GO CAPS! Y’all…I’m such a big hockey guy now. Kayla’s bachelorette party was so fun! We went to a Washington Capitals hockey game which is one of Kayla’s favorite things to do. Her ‘brideside’ and I bought the tickets and all pitched in for this custom white jersey for her to wear (scroll down to see how we customized it). I also surprised everyone with something Kayla mentioned to me months ago and thought I forgot (I did not). Here is a little photo recap of the game and a fun bachelorette idea if you want to think outside the box!

Wow, I am so plaid it’s Friday. I’m also super happy to have finally tried out Rent the Runway. That’s where I got this coat and so many other goodies I can’t wait to show you.

Fun fact: My best friend of the last 20 years (phew) is getting married! You may remember this post of when I photographed Kayla’s actual engagement (she thought she was just taking blog photos for me) and now her wedding is just around the corner! I have been practicing my Maid of Honor speech every single day when I’m alone in my car (I really just need to write it down). A few weekends ago, I helped throw her a bridal shower and it was so fun! Here are some pictures of the food, the games and the beautiful bride to be!

So I know there is this social battle going on about whether or not it is “Christmas Season” right now…right before Thanksgiving. Usually I’m all set to jump right into Christmas but lately I have been enjoying fall so much. The leaves are still changing colors and pumpkin food is still acceptable. I must admit I did cave and have a Starbucks holiday drink the other day, but I think those should be around all year long. Regardless of where you stand on the whole “Christmas Right Now” or “Justice for Thanksgiving” war, this outfit I’m wearing is very fall and would be great for Thanksgiving. Links below!
