All at once...

  This year, I want all of the holidays all at once!  No waiting until after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decor, the time is now!  I want to have holiday cheer for as long as possible this year.  I'm on the hunt for the chicest faux wreath, in order to maximize its tenure, and gorgeous velvet ribbon to hang it from. 

India Armory debuted tree skirts this season, and they are divine.  Festive without being garish, could I use this as a tablecloth as well?!  Shh... don't tell.  

Happy decorating!

Thanksgiving attire...

 My table will not be the only thing dressed for Thanksgiving. I am already planning on wearing an autumnal floral frock throughout the house.  Something comfortable enough to put your feet up in, yet formal to note the holiday.  Rebecca de Ravanel, below, is wearing my ideal color scheme, tonal florals with a gorgeous rust colored knit, and finished off with RdR earrings, of course.  

I have my eye on this dress from Veronica Beard, or this from Doen, or maybe this from La Double J.  This cardigan from Jenni Kayne looks so cozy, and this Nili Lotan will be a closet staple for years. To complete the look, earrings of course!

Set the table...

 It is safe to say that my table will be decked to the nines from here on out.  This year deserves all the special occasion pieces.  Polish the silver, wash the crystal, it is all coming out!

I love India Armory's prints, she even has me thinking brown looks chic.  Her tablecloths are the perfect pallet for your Thanksgiving dinner. Take advantage of her free shipping inceptive thru the 16th.

25 days of beauty...

 Not all Advent Calendars are for kids.

The legendary Net-a-Porter Advent Calendar is back, and maybe just what we all need.  Each square is filled with fan favorites from the site, think Augustinus Bader, Joanna Vargas, 111 Skin, and more.  Better skin and tells me what day it is, add to cart!

A great read...

 Last month, my friend, Matthew Schneier, interviewed the one and only Ina Garten for New York Magazine.  The queen of comfort food dishes into how she, and Jeffrey, have been handling quarantine, what she is making, and new new cookbook!

Hands free...

Belt bags, or fanny packs, are all the rage at the moment. Having two hands, and elbows, free to maneuver thru our touch free world now is all the rage.  I've always been a fan of a crossbody, my Celine trio remains my all time favorite handbag.  The belt bag, I am on the fence.  Thus far, this Hermès pochette is the only acceptable version I've come across.
