Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Who is ready to stuff their face with turkey, potatoes, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, and all the other good stuff? I know I sure am! Whether you have an intimate gathering with your immediate family or a huge get together you want to look your best! So you can try and still feel your best after eating tons and tons of food 😉
I’ve rounded up some cute and comfortable, affordable options that are perfect to wear for Thanksgiving! Plus – they will all get here before Turkey Day! Most importantly…they are comfortable. Which is key when you are planning to stuff your face! (Scroll to the bottom to shop all of the looks! Happy eating friends!)
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of spending at day at the Palladio in Folsom, CA. A place where you can shop, dine, and play! My mom and I went for a little mother-daughter date and let me tell you, we did it ALL!
We started our day off at the Back Bistro. Oh my God…yum, yum, YUM! Everything was so delicious and the service was superb. It was a beautiful day for us to relax and enjoy our food on the patio. I highly recommend their white linen – so good and so perfect to enjoy outside! I am a sucker for cheese boards, so of course, we had to start with that and then I had the best sandwich. We were both so full by the end, but let me tell you – we both didn’t leave anything on our plates! hah it was just too good! There are a ton of other delicious restaurants there as well – Lazy Dog, Chicago Fire, Buckhorn, and Mas Tacos to name a few!
After that, it was time to shop! The Palladio has some of my favs too! H&M, Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, and Victoria Secret! We had to stop in a few of those. Below, I’m sharing some of my fav pieces that I tried on…and a few that I took home with me! 😉 My mom and I stumbled upon Rod Works – you guys …it’s home decor heaven! I wanted to seriously take everything home with, you know to have boxed up while we are still at my parents. They also have some boutiques there as well! Button Up and Apricot Lane are two that I love!
They have something for everyone at the Palladio. It has play areas for the kids, a great variety of delicious food, and shopping galore. Seriously, I couldn’t believe we were there for so long. But you know what they say – time flies when you’re having fun. And let me tell you, I was having a blast!
If you’re looking for a local place to get some shopping done, a mother-daughter date, a date night with your spouse, girls day, or maybe just a little me time, I highly recommend the Palladio! I definitely recommend going there for the holidays! It was decorated so cute for the Fall, I can only imagine what it will look like for Christmas!
Let me know if you venture on over to the Palladio!
Since I started my blog last December, my plate has become a little more full – meaning writing out my life in my planner, creating to-do lists and time management have all become very important in my life. I’ve started to majorly multi-task to say the least (Honestly, moms must have super powers to get everything done in a day). I’m a very type-A person, so crossing things off my checklist is the best feeling and getting two-things done at once is an even better feeling!!
Recently, I had the pleasure of partnering with Wooden Ships to share some of the adorable knit sweaters! I love it because this brand is a family-owned and family-run business. They use a no-waste approach, so all pieces are made to order – but don’t worry, they will still get to you super fast! I also love that they donate to causes that are important to them, including the Anti-Poaching Foundation, International Rescue Committee, and more. They own a factory in Bali, and with that they are able to go above and beyond fair wages and provide great vacation, holiday and sick benefits as well as free health care. They are doing so much to help others and better the environment – if you’re looking for a business to support, this one is it! PLUS – they have the cutest sweaters year-round!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! If you’re a lover of Nordstrom, you know that this is the best sale of the year! It’s the time to get those great, high-quality items for a great price! If you are a cardholder, early access starts at 9:30am PST on Friday, July 12th! Public Access starts the following Thursday, July 19th. I have spent tons of time digging through what is on-sale and rounded up my favs! I think this is a great time to splurge on some great closet staple pieces that you wouldn’t normally buy full price (I’m thinking some good OTK boots for winter, Spanx leggings, or jeans). These are things that will last you forever, so it’s well worth the money. As you’ll see…most of these items are under $100 (Girl has got to stay on a budget, ya know? And I didn’t put anything on here that I wouldn’t buy myself!), but there are some pieces that are definitely splurge worthy! Everything will link directly to the item on Nordstrom.com for you to shop! Happy shopping my loves!
