Thanksgiving Recap

Yeah, yeah I know. Everyone's posting their gorgeous Christmas decor and I still have pumpkins on my porch, the table still has the Thanksgiving centerpieces on it and my living room has had my Christmas containers piled high for the past week with a half decorated tree thanks to this sickness that is just lingering for the past 2 weeks. The throbbing in my head has finally subsided a little so that I can look at a screen and get some work done and share a little recap of my Thanksgiving table which I know I promised to show you last week.

Because I procrastinated I scored these cute black and white checkered placemats in the Target dollar section that I made into a runner. I added 3 wooden boxes filled with sugar pumpkins, cabbages from my planters outside, fresh flowers and fruit which we were able to enjoy later. I love creating things that can be reused or have multiple purposes.

I was excited to use my Nate Berkus snail place card holders for the first time!

The kids even got their own little thanksgiving table with their fancy plastic stemware they picked out at the grocery store. My husband outdid himself with his deep fried turkey this year (15th year and no fires)! I hope you're Thanksgivings were as enjoyable as ours was. I honestly wish there was an extra month in between November and December. I love this time of year and want to savor it but it's flying by! How is it December already?

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HER

This was the easiest gift guide to put together and I could have kept going. Some of these items are on my wish list and a couple of these are some of my favorite items. So many goodies to choose from for her!

1. This gorgeous coat from J. Crew was on my list last year and they have even more colors to choose from this year. It sells out quickly so you may want to hurry on this one.

2. Cable-knit Cream Fur Pom Pom Beanie from J. Crew. She can never have enough fur pom pom hats.

3. This India Hicks scarf is a gorgeous color! I have the gray and navy one and love it but this is a perfect accent color that looks good on almost everyone.

4. Sperry Boots from J.Crew. They come in a shorter version as well (which I have and love) but the taller ones would be better for snow.

5. Clare Vivier Clutch. A favorite of mine! (Up to 25% off with code GOBIG15)

6. This is like heaven in a bottle for your skin. Ever Skincare overnight facial oil.

7. Fringe is in and this Stella & Dot Statement necklace is sure to be loved by her. Plus when you spend $50 you get $25 in Dot Dollars

8. A Little Black Crossbody Bag that can be used as a wallet as well.

9. Great personalized gift for you BFF. They have the cutest designs and their weekly planner is awesome!! 40% off right now too! No code needed

10. This is the freshest and prettiest scent from India Hicks. Perfect little rollerball to keep in her purse. The wild spiderlily is my favorite scent but the english rose smells just as heavenly.

11. Limited Edition Bobbi Brown Bellini lip & eye pallette

12. Keep her cozy with these cute navy polka dot J. Crew pajamas

13. So many cute choices I couldn't just pick one. These Amicale Cashmere slippers come with a reuse-able pouch as well

14. I think I need this mug!

15. Lumee cell phone case. I'm not a huge selfie taker but for those that are this is the PERFECT gift for them. It lights up on the selfie side on the phone and you can turn it off when not using. It's also great when you're trying to take a group selfie in a dark space.

16. Have you seen the handle on this Leighton Umbrella? This may be one of my wish list items. A certain 6 year decided to snap mine in half.

17. Coffee table books make great gifts and the color of this Kate Spade one is gorgeous! Plus it's filled with old world glamour, places to go, people to see and much more.

18. Want to spoil her? Surprise her with this Hermes cuff

19. I wish I was cool enough to wear these but I'm not. These FRENDS headphones are HOT! They fit over your earrings too

20. One of my favorite scented candles from Anthropologie and how cute is this pineapple one?

21. Great stocking stuffer!!! I've tried a couple of these $6 masks from Sephora and have loved them all.

22. Anyone else's cell phone always dead? Yeah, mine too! Super cute battery backup. Stocking stuffer idea!

23. Enough said.

24. The gift that keeps giving. The FabFitFun box arrives year round filled with new goodies for her to try.
