Well, I did not plan on completely shutting down over the past few days but sometimes those things happen. I have been busy…celebrating Thanksgiving in Chicago, driving to Michigan to celebrate a friend’s engagement, visiting more family, organizing a few closets, hanging Christmas lights, and savoring morning snow. You better believe Christmas music will now be played 24 hours a day, and I’ve already purchased two of my favorite holiday candles {one for the office, one for the home}. 

Did you take advantage of any Black Friday sales? I finished up all of the men in my life at J.Crew, and snagged some goodies from Bauble Bar for my favorite ladies. Don’t forget to check out my holiday gift guides for some fun ideas, I also created a Pinterest board so you can view them together. 

Finally, I was proud to take part in the new To & From Magazine Holiday 2012 Gift Guide, which launches today! Make sure to check out all the fabulous gifts brought to you by an amazing roundup of bloggers from across the web. Featuring our favorite brands and small businesses! To & From is the brainchild of Katie and Meg, so proud of them.
