Holiday Cards – Part 1

Because Thanksgiving is falling so close to the end of November this year, it really feels (to me) like I’m rolling out holiday coverage early. I’m so thrown off, it seems like we’re going to carve the turkey and Christmas is going to be the very next week! Which is also why I wrote out my holiday cards last week. There are so many incredibly designed/illustrated/written creations that I thought it was high time to start passing them your way.

Sweater Weather

Imeri Boyfriend Cardigan – Cecilia Prado for Anthropologie // Oversized Knit Cotton Sweater  – Chinti and Parker // Triangle Shoulder Sweater – Chinti and Parker

It’s here, it’s finally here – SWEATER WEATHER! Cozy wools, cottons, and cashmeres as far as the eye can see. Winters here in Oklahoma are definitely on the mild side, so for me a good sweater is basically outerwear. Here are 12 I’ve got my eye on this season.

Holiday Dresses

Holiday-Dresses-2-Design-Crush

Cherie Dress – Anthropologie // Dutchess Satin Skater Dress – TOPSHOP // Love Shift Dress – ASOS

It’s that time of year! Plenty of dinners with family, plenty of parties with friends, and plenty of outfits necessary to make the whole season go off without a hitch. I prefer at least one dress that’s super versatile and can be changed up in a big way with the right accessories and footwear, and a maybe a second that’s a statement on its own.

Autumn Hellos

With the holidays just around the corner you might be wondering why I’d share a roundup of cards, so let me explain. Holiday cards are bit expected, mid-autumn cards are not. It’s a sweet way to let someone know you’re thinking about them before the madness of late November through early January strikes hard and fast, or to thank someone for a generosity before you get wrapped up in the season yourself. Snail mail always wins!
