Giving Thanks

On this day of reflection, we give thanks to the things in our lives that make it awesome. 
I've lived in California for the last 5 years, which was a blow to my decades of tradition spending it with my family, watching movies and just messing around with my brother and cousins. Still, I've had others step up to the plate to help me celebrate this wonderful occasion, whether it's through a Friendsgiving the Sunday before the actual holiday or through my BF's family party on the day itself.  And really, I just want to give thanks.



For the availability of food and shelter every day and the ability to spend it with those I love.


For my large and loving family, who always give me a place to belong unconditionally and who I should try to be more appreciative than annoyed at.


For my friends, old and new, who have given me so many wonderful memories and I'm sure will be around to create tons more.


For my loving BF, who puts up with me and my crazies and for some reason, loves me for them.

For the freedom of our country and the benefits that affords.

And for you, readers, for sticking with me on this blog! 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  Thanks for stopping by!

OOTD: YOLO OMG BBQ

Today I got an e-mail that said "YOLO OMG WTF Sale", which was a great way to kick off the slew of e-mails that I know I'm going to get with Black Friday and Cyber Monday within arms reach.  Do you ever think we'll get to the point where all we do is talk to each other in acronyms?  Or text-talk?  Is text-talk even the right term for it?  Something like: OMG I <3 U 4EVA. W8 4 U @ BBQ.  YOLO.  Soon we're going to need a dictionary for all these things.  Oh wait, that already exists.

Really, at this point, who needs grammar?  (I'm just kidding, I love grammar.  In fact, I think I'm going to ask grammar to marry me. )

Outfit Details
Top: Lia Molly Hummingbird
Leggings: Anthropologie Fleece Lined Leggings
Shoes: Anthropologie Loose Reign Boots
Sunglasses: Stunners
Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

 

This is a super cozy outfit that I wore on a chilly weekend I had a bunch of extra work to do.  I love how it's both pulled together and comfy as all get out.  Lia Molly makes some fantastic knit wear with a lot of focus on the little details.  If you're looking for a sweater or cardigan with a little personality, definitely check them out.    

Fall is definitely my favorite season, so I'm glad the Bay Area is finally catching up with the rest of the country and giving me a chance to break out my sweaters!  How about you?  What do you love about fall?  Share in the comments!
