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!
