Above: Getting our garland and Christmas Tree at the Eastern Market yesterday! Wearing my Sorel Harlow Lace Boots – which are waterproof and super comfortable. Paired with Spanx Faux Leather Leggings (A closet must!) + Free People Tunic (50% off right now and comes in a ton of colors!) + Annie knotted headband
December 1 is here, and you know what that means!
…We can all fully dive into the holiday season like Buddy The Elf without feeling like it’s even a bit too soon. We have a little family tradition of getting out Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and that’s exactly what we did after a jam-packed weekend filled with hosting Thanksgiving (a post on our table decor coming soon!), seeing friends, family parties, too many leftovers, and attempting to gym it all off this morning. 😉
Hope you had an amazing holiday with loved ones! I’m thankful beyond words for this life and those who are in it. Which includes you!
