You guys! I have an amazing giveaway I am sharing on the blog today. It's holiday in a basket! Both myself and several WCBC bloggers have joined forces to create three giant baskets for the taking.

I don't know about you but I ate my weight in food this past weekend. It's time to get back on the diet train!
Still, there's something about indulging five days straight that makes me really enjoy the holidays. I'm talking naps, snuggling, copious amounts of wine, seeing old friends and of course, totally disconnecting from electronic devices. (well, not totally...I did post my new, favorite leggings here)

Hey toots! It's Black Friday sale time!
Cozy up and grab a cup o' jo...there's no reason to change out of those pj's! The sales are fast and furious...did I mention aggressive? I swear every year they get more ridiculous leaving me with more time to hang with the fam and decorate our tree...just how I like it!

Happy Almost-Thanksgiving friends! Can you believe it's here? I mean, December is next week. It's mind-blowing to me. Just when I don't want to age and slow down time...it speeds right the heck up!
What are you wearing for the big event? Me? This...exactly this outfit. Instead of my usual comfy pants, I am seeking an elastic waist in the most fashionable way possible - a tulle skirt!

Our weekend was good. Real good. I rested and spent real quality time with my little family. I'm looking forward to a slower week and more of the same. I'm also digging up all my elastic pants!
We kicked off the holiday season with the Mag Mile Lights Festival. I don't care if you have kids or not...this event is truly magical. The happiness is contagious and seeing thousands of people's faces light up at the sight of a float and holiday music makes this the best event Chicago has to offer. We've been going for four years now and I never tire of it.

The holidays are nothing if not an excuse to get glam and up your bling game. It's a time for parties, events, indulging and...well...statement jewelry!
I had the pleasure of collaborating on a really fun project with my fellow Chicago bloggers and ShopLately. ShopLately is a market place, giving designers and brands the opportunity to showcase their products to a fashion-conscious group of women...like us! It's my go-to site for keeping up on accessory, apparel and jewelry trends.

I shared my top five holiday dresses with you here. Today is all about your tootsies. I take shoe selection very seriously. To me, they can make or break an outfit. They are the proverbial icing on your sartorial cake. With the holidays approaching, I couldn't help but ogle a few more pairs that I'd like to add to my collection. (hello Loeffler Randall, I'm comin' for ya)

I'll be honest. I look at this post and I look pretty beat up. I'm tired, friends. And while I do not want this to be a pity post, because life is so so good, this month was pretty gnarly. I can tell by the bags under my eyes.
I've been logging 80 hour work weeks with very little balance. I miss my kids, my husband and mindless activities like watching Top Chef. I see my family on almost the same schedule but the quality time has not been consistent. I've been distracted and consumed by work. I miss just not thinking. (sorry, my intention was for this post to be uplifting, not heavy)
