And if you’re curious about the items above, I’m wearing a J.Crew sweater, Julie Vos ring (c/o), and a Monica Vinader ring that was a Black Friday gift to myself last year. The mug is an old one from Target. I’ll be spiking its contents later today. 😉
MAKE
My favorite part of Thanksgiving, next to the stuffing and the pumpkin pie, are the appetizers. This recipe for figs with bacon and chile looks absolutely decadent.
LEARN
As much as I love oversize statement earrings, I don’t wear them very often because of my [probably irrational] fear of becoming an old lady with sagging earlobes. Well, it looks like fillers and anti-aging care might be able to take care of that.
SHOP
Dave is still pushing for a holiday trip somewhere tropical. I’m on the fence mostly because I’m a sucker for tradition, but if he happens to convince me, I’m definitely snagging this swimsuit for the getaway. Even better, it’s part of J.Crew’s weekend sale with 30-40% off holiday-ready items with code FESTIVE.
MEET
Artist Hank Schmidt in der Beek travels to majestic outdoor locations only to paint the pattern on his shirt.
WATCH
If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to make me smile, it’s a Pixar film.
STOP
Don’t make these common mistakes when cooking your first Thanksgiving dinner. And, if you need inspiration for the menu, head here for a roundup of recipes.
