Thanksgiving Style: Look 2

I posted yesterday {here} that Thanksgiving style can usually go one of two ways: casual with loose enough clothes so you can pig out, or a little bit more dressed up {also loose fitting so you can pig out}. Around the holidays, I typically go for a more dressed up look, so below is something I would love to wear this Thanksgiving {I have that exact Essie shade on my nails right now!}:

Thanksgiving Style: Look 1

Happy Thanksgiving week! I am SO excited for the holiday, and have been planning on what to wear. I usually lean towards a more dressed-up look for any holiday, but below is an idea for a more casual outfit {one that will allow for multiple servings of mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie}:

Friday, I'm In Love: Champagne

 Happy Friday! I can't believe this is the last weekend before Thanksgiving next week; I cannot wait to go home to see my family and kick off the holiday season :) This weekend I predict lots of wine, champagne, and snuggling. Have a great weekend!

Plaid

Plaid, tartan, flannel...whatever you call it, I love it all! No print or pattern is more appropriate for the fall and holiday months, and I hope to add some more plaid to my wardrobe this season. Here are some plaid items I currently love {image via Atlantic-Pacific}:

Currently on Pinterest

I still love Pinterest, and I often look back at my style board for some seasonal inspiration. Below are some looks you can find on my style-inspired board {follow here} that I plan on emulating this holiday season:

Seasonal Sparkle

I love this time of year for about a million different reasons, but one of them is being able to wear fun, sparkly jewelry all of the time. I bought this BaubleBar bracelet on sale back in the summer, but now that it is technically holiday season I have started to wear it on a regular basis {sign up for BaubleBar to earn points and get awesome discounts here}. I have been planning holiday outfits in my head lately, and I foresee a lot of statement bracelets, earrings, and necklaces to add some sparkle; I have my eye on these Gal Meets Glam x BaubleBar earrings, this Lulu Frost bracelet, and this J.Crew Factory bracelet. Where do you find the best statement/sparkly jewelry?

Anorak

It is starting to get pretty chilly here in Georgia, but still not cold enough for a heavy fall or winter jacket. I love the look of an anorak, and it also would be the perfect jacket for the climate here. Below are a few that I like, but still keeping my eye on one from somewhere more affordable like H&M, Zara, or Topshop:

Band of Gypsies anorak jacket via Revolve Clothing {here}

Nasty Gal anorak {here}

J.Crew hooded downtown jacket {here} <--- on sale!

Friday, I'm In Love: Gourds

Happy Friday! This weekend will be all about gourds. I plan on getting a few colorful ones to add to this collection of monochromatic white tiny pumpkins, and decorate for the fall/Thanksgiving season. I can't believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! Have a great weekend :)

Turtleneck

I love that turtlenecks can be seen everywhere for fall fashion this year! It makes me very excited for the coming months, and wearing them around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Below is how I would style a turtleneck this season: with a couple of brooches, berry-hued lips and boots, and a great pair of jeans.

Sweater Season

Sweater season is here! Although it gets a liiiiittle bit too warm during the day for my liking here in Georgia, it does cool off at night enough so that sweaters are totally appropriate. I have a few favorites from last season that will be in rotation this season, and recently purchased this chunky knit Thakoon for DesigNation cardigan {here} that is as comfy as it looks. From top: BCBG Max Azria sweater, Thakoon for DesigNation at Kohls sweater {here}, Anthropologie sweater, J.Crew sweater, and TOMS for Target sweater. 

Thanksgiving Decor

I think Thanksgiving is one of the most underrated holidays; personally, I also need a holiday in between Halloween and Christmas :) I plan on keeping our Thanksgiving decorations simple, but below are some Thanksgiving inspired decor and entertaining ideas that I want to try out one year:

Ankle Boots

I don't consider myself a huge shoe person, but every time fall rolls around I want to buy a new pair of boots. I could use a new pair of ankle boots, and below are a few of my favorites {I am LOVING all of the fringe this fall}:

1. Acne Studios ankle boots via Shopbop {here}

2. Cynthia Vincent suede fringe boots via Shopbop {here}

3. Proenza Schouler white patent leather ankle boots via Avenue32 {here}

4. Jeffrey Campbell ankle boots via Shopbop {here}

6. Free People suede booties via Shopbop {here}

7. Aquazzura fringe ankle boots via Matchesfashion.com {here}

8. Dolce Vita booties {here}

Friday, I'm In Love: Athens

Happy Friday! I love weekends at home with basically nothing planned. I foresee a lot of Netflix, a little bit of fall cooking, and lots of snuggles with Ezra :) Have a great weekend!

Faux Fur Inspired

I love the look and feel of faux fur outerwear. I bought a faux fur vest from Forever21 last fall, and it is a staple in my autumn and winter wardrobe. I would love to add a faux fur jacket or coat to my closet, and a below are a few that I am currently loving {images via This Is Glamorous}:

Topshop animal print coat {here}

Home and Interior Design Inspiration: New Orleans

I love interior decorating as much as I love fashion, and I have come to appreciate it even more once I had my first apartment to myself. I would describe my interior decorating style as "shabby chic", but I definitely can appreciate other styles. I saw this post on this INCREDIBLE New Orleans home, and although it is not my signature style, I think it is just stunning. The exterior of the home is amazing, and I love the white kitchen, but I think the best part is that green living room with that beautiful chandelier {all images via One Kings Lane}:

Mixed + Mismatched

I've posted before about how I love Olivia Palermo's style {see here}, and one trend that I think she does perfectly is the concept of mixed, even mismatched, prints. She somehow makes even the most unlikely patterns look so chic together. I want to try to be more adventurous with this trend, and below is a way I would love to try it out:

BaubleBar earrings {here}

NARS x Steven Klein nail polish in "Black Fire" {here}

Zara shirt {here}

J.Crew skirt {here}

Jessica Jensen envelope clutch {here}

Tory Burch open toed booties {here} <--- on sale!

Mani Monday

Happy Monday! Although I am feeling slightly depressed about Halloween being over, it is still fall which is great for so many reasons - including dark nail polish :) The NARS x 3.1 Phillip Lim collection was an awesome one, and the "Dark Room" shade is one of my favorite nail polishes that I own {purchase here}. I wore it a few weekends ago, and plan on keeping it in rotation throughout fall and winter. What's your favorite dark nail polish?
