I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling to move today thanks to yesterday’s overindulgence in stuffing and pie. I don’t know if I even have the energy (or interest) to whip out my credit card and participate in the Black Friday shopping circus! The day after Thanksgiving usually turns into a shopping extravaganza for myself and I have my eye on exactly one item: a metallic silver bag that I’ll wear all winter. Everything else? Eh. I’d rather save my money for a trip abroad next year. Okay, and the clothes to outfit that excursion. (There are fantastic deals on spring flights to Amsterdam from Chicago!) What about you? Tell me what you bought so I can live vicariously through you!

LEARN
Historians differ on how to archive fashion. Do they opt for a designer’s untouched artistic vision or the influence of a client on a designer’s work?

CONNECT
This handy map includes the WiFi passwords for airports all over the world.

BAKE
Even if you’re reeling from Thanksgiving, loosen that belt buckle another notch and head to the kitchen to whip up a batch of peppermint mocha cookies.

SIP
The next 30 days are all about sugar and high fat items. May as well add a salted caramel white Russian to the mix.

REFRESH
I’m always amazed at how quickly a coat of dark paint transforms a room. I’m loving this bathroom refresh.

WATCH
I hope you’re spending the day glued to Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I won’t have a chance to binge it until Sunday and I hope it’s not as uncomfortably awkward as the promotional posters were! I loved reading this overview of seasons three and four from two people who hadn’t watched the show before. (Seriously, Dean was the worst.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Added a little color this winter.
Shared a gift guide for the coworkers you actually like. (Tee hee.)
Rounded up ten of the prettiest polishes for winter.
Celebrated Thanksgiving.
