Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
Easy Thanksgiving Decor Inspiration
An Easy + Warm Preppy Thanksgiving Outfit
Tiered Plaid Top (Also available here. Love this one, this one and this one as well.) / Velvet Leggings (They’re the BEST. Here’s the leather version, btw. But I also have and love this pair of velvet leggings, which are more affordable.) / Block Heel Pumps (Also love this pair.) / Sweater Blazer (Also available here. In navy here and in gray & black here.) / Wool Trench Coat (Not pictured, but available in more sizes here and here. And my favorite peacoat–only $38!–here.)
You’ll actually see this outfit in another blog post soon, but I wanted to pop in today to share an easy (and warm!) look for Thanksgiving.
Life Update & Recent Finds, 11/17
Velvet Tea-Length Dress (This one is SO CLOSE! And NEARLY IDENTICAL HERE! Similar here, here and here. LOVE this one, but it’s pricey. And what do we think about this green one?! I think it’s perfect for the holidays!) / Marc Fisher Pumps (But LOVE this black velvet pair. I tried them on recently and they’re SO comfy and they fit TTS. There are also these navy velvet bow pumps. DYING.) / Tortoise Clutch c/o / Lisi Lerch Earrings c/o / Mitch’s Bonobos Suit
It’s been a while since I wrote about what’s going on in my life, so I thought I’d share a few quick updates!
Transitional Sweater Dresses
Camel Sweater Dress (Sold out, but love this one, also available at Madewell in more sizes. And recently bought this one, available at Nordstrom as well. And the gray Donegal sweater dress and striped version?! Swoon.) / $38 Peacoat (Have you seen the Kate Spade bow version?! I’m crazy obsessed with my Ralph Lauren coat, and this one’s a classic.) / Over-the-Knee Boots (This waterproof pair, which is much more affordable, is amazing. See more waterproof Blondo boots here. And an A+ for this pair, which all my cousins have and swear by.) / Striped Turtleneck (Love this one, this one and this one as well.) / $48 Tote (So soft and holds a ton! Love this leather tote and the bow version, too.)
Okay. I have NOT forgotten about that “What I Packed for New York” post. It’s coming soon, I swear. I even took the photos of my suitcase! (#miracle, haha…)

Okay, guys. This is it! We’re roughly a week out from Thanksgiving, so the blog is unofficially in holiday mode. I’m SO excited.
It’s kind of crazy that the holidays are upon us. Until a few weeks ago, I was pretty stressed about ’em, probably because I was a little traumatized by last year, haha. (We simply did way too much as new parents.) This year, though, we’re reelin’ it in and taking the holiday season a bit slower. And I really think it’s going to be fabulous as a result. We’re ready for the Holidays.
20 Things I’m Grateful For

Surprise! I’m taking over the motherhood series that my wife does with Emily and Shaheen today because Kelly is working on another project and needs some help tonight. Yes, I realize it’s a little weird that I’m writing the motherhood column, but I’ve done it before and god knows I’ll do it again!
Blue Wrap Coat
T Tahari Wool Belted Wrap Coat (It’s on sale! And it comes in so many other colors. Looking for a new coat that’s an absolute steal? My favorite peacoat is on sale for only $38!) / Fair Isle Sweater (Love the matching hat, gloves and scarf! Other great fair isle sweaters here, here and here.) / Stuart Weitzman Boots (More affordable versions here, here and here) / Hudson Jeans (And love this pair.)
Are we sensing a theme in this past week’s blog posts? I’m cold, haha. Anyone else far chillier when winter first arrives compared to when we’re in the middle of it? It’s just such a shock to the system, and I can’t seem to warm up. THE STRUGGLE, guys.
Yellow Toggle Coat
Yellow Duffle Coat (Also love this version, which is 40 percent off with code “ pin: . L.L. Bean’s is great, too, and it’s 25 percent off with code “25OFF.” This one from Cole Haan is such a steal, and I desperately wish this plaid one and this plaid one didn’t cost such a fortune.) / Cable-Knit Turtleneck (Also love this one, this one and this one. I have this one from French Connection and wear it all the time, and how cute is this?!) / Rag & Bone Jeans (Also obsessed with this pair!) / L.L.Bean Boots (Best boots in the world. They’re on sale, too! Use code “25OFF” to take 25 percent off your whole L.L.Bean order. Also love the black watch plaid boots and the navy boots.)

It snowed in Chicago yesterday. Like, a LOT. So, needless to say, these photos were taken when it wasn’t freezing here in the Windy City. ;)
