I’m sitting here, Sunday evening, still having a hard time processing the fact that Thanksgiving weekend has already come and gone. It feels as if it went too fast. It’s hands down one of my most cherished and favorite weekends of the entire year… it involves long standing traditions, the making of new ones, family, festivity, and then the kicking off of the Christmas season (for us)….

We did all the things we always do… a two night sleepover at my parent’s house filled with good food, the movie “Christmas Vacation,” take-out the next day, football…. and then we headed home and began decorating our own house for the holiday season, which brought excitement from both girls…

It was a Thanksgiving that was filled with gratitude, thanks, and love… and I hope that yours was as well, however you spent the day. Here’s to a good week ahead!

(Went on a post-Thanksgiving hike down in Crystal Cove with my mom and sister… leggings, tank)

(Spent the rest of the weekend decorating the house for Christmas… always such a fun time… gold lanterns, light up trees…)

(We always purchase an ornament when we travel… so I always love decorating our tree because it gives us an opportunity to reminisce about previous trips… and then I have a few of these special handmade ornaments from my great grandma…)

A few Cyber Monday Sales I wanted to quickly share (most of the sales are extended from my Black Friday post… so that’s where a full roundup is!)…

J.Crew is having 40% off your purchase + 60% off sale items… I bought this sheer dot top and this plaid dress (was drawn to the back details) for the holidays… More everyday items that I recommend include this cable half zip and this oversized half zip sweatshirt…

Gorjana usually has a specific cyber Monday sale and if you’re looking for some great gifts I recommend these huggie earrings (I have them and wear them everyday) as well as this herringbone necklace (purchased it in 2020 and it’s beautiful)… this double huggie is also beautiful. They also offer engraving to personalize pieces, and this heart would be beautiful for a grandma or new mom.

Madewell is having 40% off sale (30% off purchase) and this grey shirt jacket that I purchased back in October is on sale +40% off… it’s a heavier weight than other shirt jackets and I just wanted to give a heads up that I will be including it in December’s Capsule… this herringbone open coat (that was included last month and will be included again this month) is 40% off…

Von Holzhausen is having a sitewide 20% off sale (their only sale of the year) and I wear this large shopper tote almost daily… it’s a great everyday tote. This computer bag is also a great gift idea for any man in your life… and love this under $80 carry all pouch as a gift option as well. Their items are all sustainably made and very easy to clean.

Shopbop extended their Black Friday sale into Cyber Monday… a few of my go-to items, like this ribbed long sleeve top, Agolde 90’s loose fit jeans and black pinch waist jeans… and this pair of sunglasses I’ve had for 5 years are all included…. and this sequins duster, bodysuit, and skirt would be fun for the holiday season…

And if you’re looking for some holiday gifts under $50 these items are on sale and would be great for a friend or sister in law….

And these cashmere ribbed socks
