Thanksgiving is just 8 days away and that is just enough time for you (yes you) to order a new outfit for Thanksgiving! Whether you’re slumming it in sweats and leggings or are required by your grandparents to wear a dress and tights, here are a bunch of options you can order before Thanksgiving and they should arrive on time! (Even if you don’t plan on ordering anything, I hope you find some inspiration from this post as you plan what you’re going to wear with what you already have in your closet.) Links below!
Book Review: See Me
Phew…It took a while to get through this one. But that’s not a bad thing! I just finished the first Nicholas Sparks novel I’ve read in years. I started reading it over the summer on the beach and was finally able to finish it last weekend on a plane home from Chicago. Click the ‘read more’ button to read my full review.
Camel Coat at UChicago
Over the weekend I took a trip to Chicago to visit my loveliest friend, Peyton. It’s been a few years since I last visited Chicago and now Peyton and I have graduated! I’ve always loved her Alma Mater because the entire campus is absolutely incredible, especially in the fall! With the Gothic architecture and the ivy leaves, I have such appreciation for UChicago and I’m glad we were able to walk around and take in all the fall leaves. Although it was super chilly, it was sunny and I finally got to wear my new camel coat from Old Navy (on sale now!!!). Details and links below!
Jamaica in November
Have I ever told you how much I love my job? I feel like I’ve had to have mentioned how I am so thankful to work where I do with some incredible, boss-ass women who I respect so much. I haven’t mentioned it? Well here it is now. Everyday I am learning so much about life and my industry and I couldn’t be more blessed, especially after this weekend. (I probably sound like a broken record). Honestly, I like to keep my job as private as possible on this blog, so I can keep the two worlds as separate as possible. But last weekend I went on a corporate retreat to celebrate my company’s anniversary in Jamaica and I wanted to share a few pictures from it!
Disclaimer: this is not an ad or sponsored at all. It was a trip I took for my job and has nothing to do with blogging and I get absolutely no money from this post. Just wanted to share some pictures 🙂 I’m not even getting that detailed
My New Shopping Rules
So this picture is kind of misleading because its not like I buy sparkly ball gowns on the reg. But I did need a picture for this blog post, and this store I visited in Annapolis a few weeks ago was just so pretty. I don’t really take pictures when I shop, and to be completely honest, I usually just online shop. A lot. Am I a shopaholic? Some of my friends have called me that, but I don’t think I’m out of control and we can thank my 5 shopping rules for that. Check them out below!
Day 13: 13 Posts of Halloween Costumes
WOOOO! Happy last day of ’13 Posts of Halloween’! Honestly this is such a relief to post. I think I made over 30 costumes in the last 13 days. WOW! I wanted to make today’s costume my final costume because its been the costume I’ve been planning since September. I was thinking about how I have this old mink coat from my grandmother and a brand new pupper that looks kinda sorta like a Dalmatian. Hmm…what should I be? Umm…Cruella De Ville obviously! I actually already wore this costume over the weekend for my church’s ‘Trunk-or-Treat’. A bunch of the little kids kept trying to take Pepper away from me because they thought “Cruella is gonna hurt the puppy!” So cute! Plus I love any sort of costume that involves red lipstick, my nana’s fur coat and Pepper. Hope everyone has a spot-acular Halloween!
Day 12: 13 Posts of Halloween Costumes
Y’all I cannot wait to be done with these posts…Today is day 12 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’ and all I can say is thank GOD we’re in the home stretch. I’m worn out. I’ve gone through so much make-up remover. So this post is a huge #mood. Today’s theme is “last minute costumes”. Any of these costumes you can throw together 10 minutes before a party, class or work. Read More >>
Orange Tie Front Top
October is practically over and I’m sitting here wondering where the month has gone! I already celebrated Halloween this weekend so you could say I’m ready to jump right into Thanksgiving and Christmas. But before I get ahead of myself, I wanted to share one of my new favorite shirts in my favorite fall color and my favorite new booties.
Day 11: 13 Posts of Halloween Costumes
Happy day 11 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’! Today’s post is all about easy costumes you can do with your best friend. Of course I have Allison paired up with me in this post because there’s literally no one I talk to more on a daily basis. In fact she’s literally over at my house right now as I’m typing this. She and I are also the same size in everything which made this post even easier to plan. Halloweekend may be over (unless you’re also celebrating the weekend after Halloween) but there are still 3 nights to dress up and be your baddest Halloween self. Here’s some inspiration for you and your best friend, from me and mine.
Day 10: 13 Posts of Halloween Costumes
Today’s 13 Posts of Halloween post is centered around a ‘little black dress’. All of these costumes can be created using any LBD, I just included a variety of black dresses I have. The bad news that comes with this post is that I had to switch up the location for taking these pictures because it’s been raining all weekend and my tripod broke! I feel like this post is a mess, but I still wanted to include these costumes because they’re really easy, especially if you have something last minute.
