Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s 1 a.m. as I’m writing this so that makes it officially Thanksgiving day. I love this time of year – especially the weekend after Thanksgiving because that’s the official start of the holidays for me. This Sunday I’ll be taking out my faux-aluminum Christmas tree and Christmas lights and trying to make our apartment as winter-wonder-land-y as possible.

This week I’ve been wearing clothing that helps me get into the holiday spirit. Exhibit A, red coat:

Drinking my first peppermint mocha of the season. Sooooo delicious. Tuelle wool coat, scarf – a gift from Italy, H&M black pencil skirt, and nude pumps from Eviva.

You can’t tell in the photo above, but I’m wearing a black turtle neck with the skirt. Since Lar and I are having company stay with us this week I switched my pencil skirt out for black leggings after work and cleaned like a mad woman for a couple of hours – only stopping to take an impromptu, Audrey Hepburn-inspired pose. I wonder if Audrey had also just finished scrubbing the kitchen sink right before she took this photo.

My cleaning outfit: H&M turtleneck, AA leggings, and Salvatore Ferragamo oxfords from Ebay. Seeing as there was no H&M nor American Apparel in Audrey’s day and given the fact that she was a famous movie star, I can only guess that her outfit is Givenchy or something equally as glamorous.

I’m thinking about wearing leggings today for all the eating I have in store. Hooray for elastic waistbands!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving – and a happy Thursday to all you non-United States-ians!

    1. It doesn’t get too cold until January and February and even then it rarely goes below 30 degrees – thank goodness. Because I don’t handle the cold very well!

  31. Happy belated Thanksgiving! Look at you posting, posing, and cleaning. I’m pretty sure I’d have to pick only one to accomplish. I really like the pockets on your coat.

  32. HOORAY FOR:
    *peppermint mochas!!–the only coffee-esque beverage that i get from starbucks, but my cousin got the caramel brulee which i think may be the next purchase
    * ferragamo loafers!!- i can only imagine how comfy they are
    *thanksgiving food!-the only kind that is ok to eat in ridiculously large amounts without feeling like a glutton

    hope it was a good one ladies!

  38. Audrey Hepburn is one of the most generous celebrities I know. She is my role model as well as my mom’s. I love this quote from her. “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. ” -Hannah Lee
