Five Sweaters for a Cozy Thanksgiving

Five Sweaters for a Cozy Thanksgiving

Pom Pom Sweater

This pom pom sweater is amazing. It’s not itchy, comes in the prettiest shade of pink and is not your average sweater. Jean splurged on it earlier this season and is loving it. It’s tempting to pick it up in the green for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Cardigan

Stia has been wearing this cardigan non-stop ever since she got it. For those of you nursing, it’s a great option that is nursing friendly and still cute and cozy.

Oversized Sweater

This one looks so comfy and perfect for a day of relaxing and indulging! Katherine has it in green, but it also comes in eight other colors.

Leopard Sweater

We love most anything leopard, but especially love the colors of this leopard sweater. The puff sleeves add a special touch and it would be so cute paired with your favorite booties.

Fair Isle

A Fair Isle sweater is a must have in a sweater wardrobe. Fair Isle is traditional but now there are so many updated versions that really freshen it up! We love this one in the prettiest neutrals.

three key pieces to help transition your wardrobe into fall

September 26, 2017

Transitioning to fall can be a little tricky, especially when you live somewhere like Dallas where fall weather arrives late in the season. Wearing a blazer or heavy sweater just doesn’t make sense when it’s 90 degrees outside! Today, we’ve partnered with Banana Republic to bring you three key pieces to help transition your wardrobe to fall; a wide leg trouser, a lightweight sweater and a chic sheath dress.

Three Key Pieces to Help Transition your Wardrobe to Fall:

A lightweight sweater: the peplum detail takes a classic cable knit and makes it fun! This is the perfect sweater to wear once the temps drop into the 80’s. It’s so cute with slides and the white crossbody bag, but we can’t wait to wear our over the knee boots with it once it cools off.
The wide leg trouser in black is a great way to move your color palette into more of a fall mood. Here we paired the pant with a lightweight tee and sandals, but as the temps drop a bootie and sweater will be perfect.
The striped sheath dress is a great transition piece to wear to a fall wedding or event. And it will be the perfect thing to wear to a holiday party. It’s such a simple dress, but so elegant and chic. The ruffle collar is such a fun detail!

We hope these pieces have helped inspire you guys to start transitioning to fall. We are so ready!!

carrot & coconut soup

November 1, 2013

It’s Friday… happy weekend! This weekend is a busy one for bishop&holland. Katherine will be at Neiman Marcus Willow Bend from 2-4 hosting the |Denim Event| with Ashley & Angie. At about the same time, Jean & Stia will be landing in Southern California for a wedding and quick trip to Palm Springs. Check Instagram for pictures!

When the air starts turning a bit cooler, we jump at the chance to make soup. Last weekend, we made this soup as a first course for a special birthday dinner we were having at home. It happened that a huge storm came through Dallas that evening, making this Carrot & Coconut Soup the perfect complement to the weather! We started with this recipe from Epicurious, but used all organic ingredients, and added a slice of room temperature goat cheese on top of the warm soup. We topped it off with a drizzle of siracha. Creamy, warm, and spicy goodness!

Carrot & Coconut Soup

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 pound carrots, peeled, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai-style chili sauce, plus more for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, we didn’t use)

Preparation:

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until carrots are softened, 15–20 minutes. Stir in broth, coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons chili sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is slightly reduced, 40–45 minutes.

Let soup cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. Reheat in a clean saucepan; season with salt and pepper.

Divide soup among bowls, drizzle with chili sauce, and top with cilantro.

Serves 4, but easily doubled.

Soup can be made three days ahead. Cool, cover, refrigerate. Rewarm stove top on low heat before serving.

Wine Pairing

Buoncristiani is one of our favorite family-owned wineries in Napa Valley. For this soup, we chose to pair Bouncristiani Sauvignon Blanc 2012.
