Thanksgiving prep...

 

Hostess gifts...

  

The next five weeks are filled with get-togethers.  And with that comes the host/hostess gift.  Unless your host doesn't drink, skip the corner liquor store on the way, and opt for something a little more special.  After all, you want to be invited back next year!

The Rounds.  By far my best find of the last five years.  Tiny customizable cookies sure to delight the dessert table, and that last glass of Sancerre.

Did your hosts go on a Disney Cruise this year? And, somehow love it?  A token to commemorate their excitement, paired with a look of 'I'd never'.

Betcha no one else is bringing a Pickleball ornament to the party!

There are some parties where you show up hungry.  You know there will be plenty of hors d'oeuvres and they will be delish.  The Jennifer Fisher salt trio is sure to spark conversation about the next dinner party.

No matter what, a good guest always writes a note the next day.   

Stay in bed...

 My favorite place to be is in bed.  Only better, a Hill House Home bed.  Their Annual sale is something I look forward to, and it is here!

Their pillow inserts are incredible.  I have a set for my 'pretty pillows' and want a set to actually lay my head on.  

Pillowcases with a clever saying - beauty sleep, do not disturb, snooze...

Most worn HHH item, to bed! 

My eye on... this vest.  Might make getting out of bed a little easier. 

Holiday Inspiration...

 

Elizabeth Debicki at the premiere of The Crown in Los Angeles is my style inspiration this season.  Simple and chic.  I'm not a fan of 'festive' and have never met a 'ugly Christmas sweater' I'd ever make eye contact with.  Halloween is for costumes, Holiday is for dressing up!

That said, bring on the carolers, the mistletoe, and the holiday lights!  I'll be channeling ED all season long, can't go wrong with a LBD.

Elizabeth is wearing Bottega Veneta.  For the rest of us, La Ligne makes some of my favorite black dresses. I have a variation of this one, and it always works.   Black sheers have been having a moment lately, might have to give a whirl.

G. Label has really stepped up its game, and their Holiday drop does not disappoint.  The tab for this bustier top has been open on my laptop for over a week.  It would be a staple in my rotation - paired with a black trouser for dinner and dancing, jeans for festivities at home, layered over a white button down for day... the possibilities are endless.  

On your way out the door - let the sweetest Dior pink set add the finishing touch. 

For the after party, J.Crew with the winning slipper!

CBK...

 

 CBK is my ultimate style inspiration. 

November moodboard...

 All GP, all the time.
