Pajamas (thankful for my mom and sister!)

Henry would like you to know that the green blanket is on sale with code FRIYAY23

“For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. ” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. First and foremost, thank you to all working on this holiday- those who are serving, first responders, and essential workers. I am so appreciative of all you do to keep all of our communities safe and running.  

Our annual Thanksgiving is a dinner that my parents host each year. My husband and I started a new little tradition where he stops at a local bakery the day before Thanksgiving and gets some delicious things for us to enjoy on Thanksgiving morning with our coffee as we watch the Thanksgiving Day parade. It's one of my favorite little moments. It's such a busy time of year for me with work, and I find myself up at all hours working (not a complaint; it is how it is, and I do enjoy it for the most part), but it's nice to really decompress and savor the morning on Thanksgiving. 

Friday morning, I will sleep in and then get to work! Last year, I had the LAZIEST day ever, and I hope to do the same this year, wearing this, hanging out, and maybe squeezing in a workout! We have some dinner plans and a get-together with some friends, but other than that, it'll be pretty low-key! My sister and brother-in-law are in town all this week so I am just soaking up time to hang with them! 

I don't typically do a blog post on a holiday but you all mentioned that you'd like to not miss this week's lately post, so ask and you shall receive! 

If you are in a food coma and checking on this post, you may want to relax and browse my gift guides thus far... 

2023 Gift Guides:


Tweed Jacket up to 30% off with code CHEERS

Wearing: Love this Tweed Jacket so much! It feels so polished and classic. I'm wearing a size small, it fits TTS. Are you following me on the LikeToKnowIt app?! You can shop all of my outfits, favorite finds, and more in the app. I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also access all of my posts, here, if you don't use LTK!

Eating: What is your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? Mine is green bean casserole but a close second is stuffing!! 

Reading: Have you all heard about this respiratory illness in dogs that is going around? It's a bit scary, but I guess all you can do is protect your dog from dog parks, groomers, etc. Henry was due for a bath appointment, but I'm going to hold off just to be safe. 

Sale: You can find my big CYBER WEEK SALE POST here. It will be back up at the top of my website tomorrow and I will continue to update it as I know some sales are only just beginning tomorrow! You can also find my Tuckernuck Sale picks and Lake Pajamas sale picks

Watching:
 Did you all watch the most recent episodes of The Crown? I thought they were phenomenal. The acting was just spectacular and the cinematography and sets were perfect. I could not get enough and I am not someone who follows the Royals closely or knows a lot about the Royals, especially in the 90s and prior but still found it all to be riveting. I'm also still watching and loving Lessons In Chemistry on Apple TV. The main character is played by Brie Larsen and she is just absolutely stunning- I love her hair and clothes in the series! 

Loving: My sister had on the cutest necklace and the clasp is built so you can add charms to it. I loved it and tried it on! Looks great layered or on its own with or without charms. It's under $70 and I think it'd make a fun holiday gift! 

Sunglasses (30% off $250+)
Loving II: I just got these sunglasses and feel like they are a whole persona. SO fabulous and so stylish. They really make a statement so I don't think that they are for daily wear, but wow, oh wow, do I love them!

Wanting:
My sister swears by this sweater so now it is on my wish list! It reminds me of a J.Crew favorite that I have but they don't make it in enough colors! 

Clockwise starting from left: 
Meat Empanadas// Arancini
Beets
Provoleta// Dry Aged Striploin

Pittsburgh: There's a new restaurant in the Strip that just opened, Balvanera, and my husband and I went there this past Saturday! It's right across from the Terminal building. It made for a lovely date night, and the food, atmosphere, and service were perfect. Honestly, I have no notes other than you should check it out and *get the beets!!!! 
Amazon Rec: We love our frame TV and now it is on major deal for Black Friday! You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Traveling: My sister and I are headed to DC soon, I am so excited for a fun getaway filled with relaxing, shopping, eating, and drinking!
