Happy Monday friends! Coming off a long weekend full of family time, lots of good food and the start of the holiday season is just the best way to start the week! We had one of the most productive weekends in a while and I just love having so much done to start the week! Here are a few snaps & some of my picks for cyber Monday!
Anyone else feel like a pre-feasting walk is necessary before Thanksgiving day meal?!
Sweater Dress (also comes in grey)
Thanksgiving at my sister-in-law’s house! It was actually warm enough to comfortably enjoy the fire outside!
We were able to celebrate Gary’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and I just love this sweet photo of them cutting into their cake!
The halls have officially been decked in our house – I picked up these cute little dish towels from the dollar spot!
I was in desperate need of hair cut (it had been about 7 months) and after getting nearly 5 inches taken off I couldn’t let fresh hair go to waste, so we went on a little date night!
Clearly we hadn’t done enough eating for the last few days so we continued on with another mini feast at the newly opened Tuscan Kitchen in the Seaport.
The biggest accomplishment of the weekend – getting our holiday cards stuffed, sealed, addressed and in the mail this morning! We also managed to get 6 people crossed off our holiday list!
One thing we did a lot of this weekend was shopping! We managed to cross off 6 people off the list that are all done! Definitely took full advantage of the sales and here are some of my favorites from Cyber Monday & sale items I’ve already purchased.
- If you’re planning on traveling my luggage set is on sale – we’ve had it for 5 years and it’s so durable! It’s been all over and has held up incredibly well!
- Took full advantage of the Echo Dot being on mega sale and snagged a few for some people on my list!
- I’ve got my eyes on these OTK boots in Taupe and these from Cole Haan– I wear my black ones from last year so often that I really want a heeled version!
- I have a serious love for all these graphic sweaters from Target, they are the comfiest and I scored a couple at $10 during black Friday.
- Express is having 50% off & I have my eye on this little numberfor New Years Eve or this one!
- Snagged this little wallet for my mini bags & it’s a perfect stocking stuffer – Under $20! Use code “SHOPFAST” for 40% off & then an extra 10% off until 12:00 PM on Monday online for J.Crew.
- Ann Taylor is having 50% off EVERYTHING and Free Shipping! These velvet bow pumps are just perfect for the holidays!
- BaubleBar (CYBER35) has the perfect gift sets that are ready to be put under the tree!
Are you more of a black Friday or cyber Monday shopper?! Did you manage to get a lot of your shopping done? Hope you all have a great start to the week!

It sounds like you had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend! My mom managed to get a pre-feasting walk in as well and she felt so much better about digging in after that! Way to go on getting your holiday cards addressed and the in the mail! I'm hoping to get ours ordered sometime soon!
50 years is such a huge accomplishment! So neat that you were all able to celebrate together. I definitely took a walk Thanksgiving morning too! It was necessary because of all the pie that was awaiting me! π
Glad you had a great thanksgiving!! And your hair looks ON POINT!!!!! Happy Cyber Monday shopping!!!! XOXO! R
Your hair looks gorgeous!!! I am going in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to it. π We still need to take a picture for our holiday cards so I admire you for being done with those!!! LOVE those boots on your wish list and that sweater dress is pretty! π Have a wonderful day and happy shopping!! π
More food is definitely the way to go and yes to getting holiday cards done, that is major!!
I can't believe you got five inches cut off your hair, and it's still that long! It's gorgeous, I'm jealous! Glad you had such a nice holiday weekend – those dollar spot towels get me every single time. I addressed our Christmas cards, too so I can't wait to get them out! Happy Monday!
Looks like a fun weekend! Great photos!

Working on our cards now. Normally I'm like you and they are out right after Turkey day, but we wanted an AZ picture this year.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend, girlie, and a very Happy Anniversary to your in-laws; that's indeed such a cute photo of them cutting into their cake! I love the dress you wore for the holiday. I'm so picky with sweater dresses, they have to be fitted and have the right details; this one is perfect! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great week ahead!
PS: I love your new cut!

I shopped sales online Wednesday and a few today but spent my time Friday and Saturday in small business storefronts. I try to strike a good balance.
We always go for a walk after Thanksgiving lunch to make room for Thanksgiving dinner later in the day. Haha. We always have to eat twice that day so it feels good to be active in between… and maybe squeeze in a little nap, too! ;o) And congrats on getting your holiday cards ready already! We just received ours in the mail so I'm going to start working on those later this week!
You and Gary are the cutest and I really like that sweater dress! Im not done shopping but hopefully soon. So glad you had a great weekend π
Sounds like you had a good Thanksgiving! Your hair looks fabulous and that food looks oh so delicious even though I probably should eat salad the rest of the year after my food consumption this weekend haha. Those pumps are gorgeous!!! I didn't make it into Ann Taylor on Friday (just the Loft) but I guess it isn't too late to shop online! Hope you have a great week!
Glad y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and weekend! Seems like y'all got tons done too!

I love sweater dresses- need to add some to my closet again! You look fab in yours! That picture of Gary's parents is so sweet. I always have the hardest time with the same people on my list year after year and don't really get any good Black Friday- Cyber Monday deals because I have to shop hard for them butttt I did snag that fa la la latte sweatshirt and some baublebar earrings for me π oops! haha
Yummmm! All of that food looks delicious! So glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I love weekends like that! We got a lot done too and it feels great going into the week and have the house clean lol. The dollar spot gets me every time. I got the table runner with the same plaid pattern as your towel. Your hair looks so good!! Sierra ~ Beautifully Candid
Your hair looks fab and date night sounds like the perfect celebration with lots of yummy food! I shopped way too much last week…I really need to avoid the Cyber Monday sales today. Sounds like a fantastic weekend celebrating with your family and good food!
So impressed you have your holiday cards done… you are on it! I hate when I get my hair cut and dried and have nowhere to go… you must take advantage haha. Happy Thanksgiving!
What a wonderful Thanksgiving week! Your haircut/hair style on your date night looks absolutely beautiful! I love holiday weeks where I'm inspired to get things done, and it looks like you did exactly that! Our holiday cards arrived in the mail today, and I am so excited to stuff them and get them out the door! Looks like you found some great deals too for Cyber Monday/Black Friday!
Amazing pictures! It looks like you had a great weekend!

Oh my all that yummy food. So good. Love your haircut. I can't believe how long it had been. Love those Target sweaters.
I knew your hair was long, but not that long! Your fresh cut looks great! Glad you had a great weekend.

I'm glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and had a productive weekend! I got a ton of stuff for Colin at Express. And picked up a bunch of stuff for family/friends at Ulta and Sephora on black friday without leaving my house!
This place looks familiar perhaps. This dreamy location meets real glam at the hands of the manager. Itβs sophistication with a dash of bliss. At our visit to the Seattle venues there were several highlights.
