My favorite travel tote (I literally do not leave home without it!)
Barrington gave me a code, SYDNEY12 for 12% off!
We went to the strip this weekend for sandwiches!
I used my code SUMMERWIND for this eyeshadow and it came out to be $25! Such pretty colors for the holidays!
Wore this for a walk and pilates this week!
The most gorgeous velvet dress ever. Sadly too short for me, but those of you a touch shorter than me (I'm 5'6") order this dress!! It's truly incredible.
Such a cute little pumpkin!
Cocktails while handing out candy on Halloween!
Love this Ribbed Jacket (some colors on sale)

I cannot believe we are already a week into November already. I like November but daylight savings ending is really a buzzkill! We had a fun Halloween and while we had a lot of trick-or-treaters, we had less than I thought we would. It was so warm on Halloween (record setting), I thought we would have more than ever but for some reason, we just didn't! Oh well!
It's actually been incredibly warm lately. I am conflicted on it being warm as I do love my fall pieces and enjoy a nice coat or sweater and it's truly been too warm to wear these things! It's kind of wild but it does make for beautiful days and an opportunity to get a nice walk in each day.
My plan was to put up our Christmas tree last weekend but I couldn't bring myself to do it! I was walking outside in shorts and I just could not get myself into a Christmas mood. So, I'm starting on it this week and will continue to work on it.
My aunt and uncle are in town to visit my Grammie so we have been having dinner with them and my parents a few nights this week which has been nice. Grammie is still recovering. I went to visit her and she looks great and is working hard to recover well. I told her once she is fully recovered, we will have a day of celebration by going to lunch and shopping at Talbots which is her favorite!
We very sadly have a funeral to attend this weekend so we don't have big plans.
Since this is such a busy time of year for me, I will likely spend Sunday afternoon/evening working. I hope you all have been enjoying the gift guides so far!

Watching: There is a John Williams documentary on Disney+. As a long-time John Williams fan, I absolutely loved it. He has such a fascinating life story, and music began in his life at a very early age. I think he is easily one of the greatest composers of our time, if not of all time. The documentary went through 'old school' Hollywood as he told his story, and I enjoyed seeing all the glamour and the classic films referenced. Honestly, I ate up the whole thing! Sometimes I wonder if it is just nostalgia or if they really don't make 'em like they used to! 
Wanting: A gorgeous cocktail dress under $300. The red fair isle cardigan of my dreams- so classic! This is such a beautiful and classic sweater at a fantastic price, and it is 100% cotton! I am ordering this faux fur hat immediately. I can't decide between black and brown—both are so versatile. JM does faux fur better than anyone, and this hat is absolutely darling and under $100. It would be a beautiful gift. This looks like a great white tee and a nice price point. Drooling over this sweater. I just got this dainty diamond bracelet I have wanted for a while, and it's beautiful! This sequin jacket is fun and festive! This is the prettiest blue tweed jacket! These pants are SO fun! Wow this skirt is incredible! I have my eyes on these jeans!
Drinking: I haven't seen Piper Sonoma in our state stores in ages. If you are in PA, they are stocking Piper Sonoma sparkling wine! I snagged a bottle to try, and it was SO good, especially considering the price tag ($25.99). I had drunk a glass of Moet immediately before the glass of the Piper Sonoma, and it held its own. It's not as good as the Moet, but it's fantastic for less than half the price. It had tiny, plentiful bubbles like a pricier bottle. I want to do a blind taste test between Piper Sonoma and Chandon, my go-to inexpensive bubbly. Hot tip for those of you in PA, it's on sale at wine.com, so I just ordered a case of it, and doing so saved me around $6 off per bottle, so around a $72 savings per case! I also used the code NOV150 to save $15 at checkout. I like to have plenty of bubbly stocked at this price point around this time of year because we go through it quickly, whether bringing it as a hostess gift or hosting people at our home!

Loving: Lake sent me these pajamas and I love them so much. Why you ask? They are the typical Pima cotton we all know and love but this particular print reminds me SO much of the Very Bradley Nantucket Navy print from the early 2000's. It was 'my' print and I carried a Nantucket Navy tote as my book bag one year. I'd still have that tote but I wore it until it was threadbare with holes and the straps were nearly falling apart! So much nostalgia! Have you guys seen the VB collab with UO? It's really cute and gives me vintage vibes. I'm honestly surprised that VB hasn't made a roaring comeback yet.

What I wore to the wine dinner!
Pittsburgh: We went to a fun wine tasting dinner last week at Casbah! I forgot how good Casbah was. I haven't been in years and the meatballs were the best meatballs I've ever had!
Amazon Rec: These Christmas tree embroidered napkins are gorgeous and affordable!

I've been on one River cruise of the Rhine on the Avalon cruise line and loved it. Food and wine is fabulous, small crowd of about 150 on the ship. You have a choice of excursions based on exertion levels. Be warned you will probably be the youngest on board since the age levels skew retired. But you will see stops that are unique like Cologne, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, Colmar. We are taking a Christmas market river cruise in December of 2025 which is a bucket list item for me- can't wait.
