the holidays approaching can stress you out, you know what i mean?! & pair that with working full time and trying to stay healthy, getting to bed on time, eating right, geeez. i'm trying to slooooow it down a bit and realize that a lovely break is coming soon. days of sleeping in, not eating on the fly, and actually tasting my morning coffee. can't wait!

this weekend i hope to take a winter beach walk, here, slurp a pile of pasta here (soooo good!), and begin wrapping a few presents to get a jump on it! i hope that your weekend is everything you want it to be. and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

i'm in the slow & steady catagory, trying to not get overwhelmed, attempting to enjoy this month in a variety of ways. i bought a christmas tree on black friday to enjoy it for much longer than i usually do. i'm looking forward to snow (coming to new england today!) and i literally live in this chenille sweater every day after work. i'm also shopping slowly. putting extra thought into more personal gift ideas. how are you embracing the hectic christmas season? i'd love to hear!

i hope that your weekend is everything that you hope it to be! and it's friday saturday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

i prefer holiday garland over wreaths, this one is simply beautiful.

etsy love: how fun would these be on a cocktail party table setting?

be your own muse.

okay, just alot of cool stuff here (great gift ideas!).

couture poufs. loving the fringe!

sparkly flared trousers, because why not.

another reason to love going to bangs.

speaking of hair, these hair pins for a christmas party, so fun.

eyeing this checkered blouse.

this fluffy dolman jacket really needs to be mine.

i am laying low, moving slow, having a few family members & friends for thanksgiving dinner and planning on sipping wine, engaging in relaxing conversation surrounded by football sounds.

and i went off the grid a bit this year , creating classic dishes with an innovative edge, this friendsgiving post prompted me to want to get just a little bit more creative this thanksgiving... i'm making the twice baked root vegetable mash, let you know how it comes out!
