I was chatting with a friend today, and we both laughed at how far away Thanksgiving already feels. Maybe it’s because last week seemed unusually long… or because the holiday season is suddenly in full swing. Either way, it’s wild to think Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we’re now just 22 days from Christmas.

All that said, this past weekend is always one of my favorites. We make our annual trip to The Hotel Del in Coronado to go ice skating by the sea (there’s something magical about gliding on ice beneath a row of palm trees) and soak in all the festive cheer the hotel has to offer.

And since I missed last week, I’m sharing a two-week roundup below…

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the week!

(Black Friday showing of Wicked with the girls)

(Up to Santa Barbara to check in on The Bungalow… construction wrapped up today and can’t wait to share more!… top (more sizes here), belt, necklace)

(Trimming the tree… we make it a point to pick up an ornament from all of our travels… it’s always fun to reminisce when we hang them on the tree.)

(Festive lunch at our favorite… jeans, sweater, loafers, necklace)

(Flag football semifinals/championship game on Friday night… they came home with second place!)

(One of my favorite traditions of the season, skating by the sea at Hotel Del Coronado… and then dinner at Nobu Del Coronado… jacket (reversible, so wearing both sides in these photos), flats)

We went window shopping on Black Friday and the girls added a few things to their Christmas lists this year… they love these mini hyrdroflasks, silver puffer hunter shoes, tween and kiddo Olive and June press on nails, double hair waver for mermaid hair, personalized name bracelets, and this labubu key chain…

I bought this beautiful, small, beaded bag for holiday festivities and love that it can easily be worn in the summer with sandals and a dress…

If you have a beauty lover that you’re buying gifts for this season, I can’t recommend the OSEA glow and moisturizing duo. There is a reason spas all lover the country carry their products… they smell heavenly and do wonders for the skin. ITSYBITSY10 will give you 10% off…

If you’re looking for some tried, true, and recommended gifts for men TJ loves this Vuori Echo insulated jacket, carbon steel griddle for the grill lover, carryon suitcase, soft jersey half zip (TJ has multiples of these), portable bluetooth speakers, and luxe golf pouch with tees.

For casual holiday days (and beyond), I love this red pointelle cardigan…
