The end of Thanksgiving, which always marks the end of autumn for me. Most of the leaves are finally off the trees in Nashville and we've got a cold front coming through tomorrow, so it really feels true.. sad day. Fall is my favorite season.

But the lovely side of the coin is it's time to prepare for Christmas! After eating an extravagant meal (turkey and mashed potatoes and homemade stuffing and chocolate bourbon pecan pie), my family and I settled down to watch old holiday movies. I can't wait to get home and break out our Bing Crosby Christmas record.

This black flocked velvet dress is a recent thrifted find, a cute 1990s girl's dress that ties in the back. I think it'll be perfect for holiday parties when layered with a plaid scarf and that camel colored wool cape I need to finish.. and maybe some suede platform heels and sheer tights.

It's my sister's birthday in one hour and we're going to celebrate in the morning with pumpkin pancakes! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.. what are you thankful for this year?
