Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers in the United States! Take some time to enjoy being with those you love, whether it's your family or your friends. Catch you all tomorrow! :)

Here is my second Thanksgiving outfit featuring my leather pants! I wore this for my Thanksgiving #2!  This Marc Jacobs top I bought at the outlets was a perfect match for the pants so, of course, I had to switch up my original outfit! I had previously planned to wear my crazy printed Balenciaga pants with my black Witchery sweater, so that outfit will have to wait it's turn! I realized way too late that I probably got a size too big in the sweater, oh well, at least I like things loose fitting!

Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Saks Off 5th), Leather Pants: Madewell, Watch c/o Movado, Necklace c/o Marrin Costello, Heels: Manolo Blahnik (Roundabout Resale)

As of this past Friday I have been in full Christmas mode! We got our family tree on Friday (photos coming soon) and I decorated my house with my fake tree! Let the 24 hour Christmas music listening and movie watching commence! BUT first, I have to share my Thanksgiving outfits!

Originally I had planned on wearing two different pairs of pants for each of my Thanksgiving celebrations. But after outlet shopping with Lydia I wanted to wear one of my new purchases with the leather pants but didn't want to forgo the other outfit I had planned, since I've been waiting MONTHS to wear it, seriously.  So it turned into a one piece two ways situation!

So, here we go with outfit one featuring my Madewell leather pants! They were originally $598, but I bought them in one of Madewell's extra 40% off clearance items sales so I paid a little over $100 for them. Still a lot, but I've been wanting leather pants for quite some time.

You'll also see I wore my new Mulungi Collection clutch [learn more about it here]! It came the day before our gathering and went perfectly with my outfit, so I had to wear it right away! 

Leather Pants: Madewell, Top: Equipment (sample sale), Sweater: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor), Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls), Pumps: Coach 'Nacie' (Marshalls), Necklace: Marrin Costello (not available yet),  Clutch: Mulungi Collection c/o S.O.U.L. Foundation

Just wanted to take a few moments this morning to wish everyone in the US a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you get to spend it with your loved ones! I'll be at my Grandmother's today and then celebrating on Saturday at my Aunt's! AND tomorrow we go get our Christmas Tree: YAY!!!

Here's what I wore for my second Thanksgiving get together. Decided to keep it with a Fall color scheme in my orange Ferragamo suede skirt! Another one of my $10 finds at Coco's sale earlier in the year.  This was a great mix of comfortable/casual and dressy. Although the skirt got a little tight after all the turkey I ate.

Top: French Connection c/o Marshalls, Skirt: Salvatore Ferragamo (Coco's $10 sale), Heels: Miu Miu (eBay), Necklace: Grandma's, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's

Here is my Thanksgiving outfit! Thankfully (haha) I had a very short trip to my Thanksgiving festivities this day. I walked over this bridge, took a left and arrived at my Grandmother's house. It is so nice living near family, definitely one of the things I am thankful for each year.  Grandma is next door and my parents are a mile away.

Dress: London Times (from Lydia), Sweater: Everlane,  Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls), Necklace: Geoclassics, Booties: Alexander Wang (The Outnet), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's

I hope everyone has a great day stuffing themselves with turkey and enjoying their families. I know I will be!

Since you're here reading my blog I must assume you love fashion. So one of our main questions every time a holiday rolls around is: WHAT DO I WEAR!?  Today I'm sharing two different Thanksgiving outfits for inspiration.  One is for those of you that get more dressed up on the day. The second is for ladies who go more casual (or, if you're like me, an outfit to wear after you've stuffed yourself with turkey.)

Outfit 1: Dressy
Skirt: Burberry Prorsum (on sale at The Outnet!), Top: Isabel Marant, Heels: Alexander Wang (on sale at The Outnet!), Earrings: Lauren Wolf Jewelry, and throw on a blazer or sweater


Outfit 2: Casual
Sweater: Suno, Jeans: Frame Denim, Pants: J Brand (on sale at The Outnet!),  Pumps: Jean-Michel Cazabat, Earrings: Alexis Bittar, Bracelet: Alexis Bittar


And here are a couple of my past Thanksgiving outfits.

Here is my Thanksgiving outfit, I figured it was a good occasion to wear my inspired by Michael Kors look! It has a very Fall/Holiday feeling, don't you think?  The photos were taken at my Grandmother's house, well...actually her neighbors bridge because no one is there right now and it's pretty.

Sweater: Inis Crafts (Marshalls) $30 gift, Skirt: Made by Mom $50 for fabric, Booties: No.704b  (DSW) $25, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop), Sunglasses: Ray Ban 'Emma' (TJ Maxx) gift card

Thanksgiving is a joyous holiday in the calendar for feasting and marking the arrival of the harvest. It also a good time to give thanks to your friends and family, by showing them that you care perhaps with a gift. Handbags and purses can be the ideal gift at this time of year as with the season’s change, it’s always great to keep up to do date with a new accessory. Whether the handbag is for you or a friend, there are some key styles which are great for the thanksgiving period. Here is my thanksgiving bag wish list.

1. Benetton Bag – Brown
   This is a gorgeous bag with deep purple brown leather. I love the simple shape and classic buckle with the subtle electric yellow detailing; it’s got a lot of autumn style. 
2. Zign Bag – Red
   The Zign Bag is a Thanksgiving favourite for the following reasons. It is made in the most sumptuous leather coming in red, black or brown I will leave the choice up to you. Also I can’t get enough of the briefcase style – it will always be in fashion.
3. Orla Kiely Bag
   On my fashion wish list next is the Orla Kiely handbag in black. This is an occasion bag so if you have a party to attend this Thanksgiving, this bag is versatile and super lovely. 
4. DDP Patchwork Purse
   You will need a purse which goes well with all the bags on the wish list. I love the DDP Patchwork Purse, brown and red leather compliments the bags perfectly. Zalando’s range of purses has some other great styles that are perfect for this time of year.

I hope you like the Thanksgiving wish list as much as I do! Definitely the right time of year to thank your fashion stars. If you can’t bare to part with any of these bags as a gift, don’t beat yourself up about it, I understand.

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and long weekend [to those who celebrate of course]. I had a lovely, relaxing time! We still have one day left of the weekend, so make it a good one! Here are some photos from Friday when we went to get our Christmas Tree.  There are a lot of photos, so beware, I hate choosing what photos to post!  It was SO sunny on Friday that almost all my photos were taken into the sun so there are tons of rainbows, ha ha. It was also quite warm, very weird...it doesn't feel like Christmas is a month away. I DON'T LIKE IT! Get cold!!! [I'm going to regret that...]

Outer Sweater: Ralph Lauren (Goodwill) $8, Red Sweater: Madewell via ShopBop gift card, Leggings: H&M $15, Boots: Borrowed from Grandma

On Thanksgiving my sister and I decided to make Christmas countdown things like we used to when we were little. All it takes is strips of red and green construction paper, and tape/staples.  You make a strip for each day left until Christmas and make circles with them intertwining them together. Then each day you take off a ring!

And as an added bonus, here is a rather amusing photo. You guys always see my serious side (...), but I am actually quite insane. ;) I laugh ALL the time and I cry every time. I can't even remember why I am laughing in this picture, but this is how you will see me most of the time.
