giving thanks

November 27, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is one of our favorite holidays. Other than the cooking, it is such a low key, relaxing day; a great time to spend with loved ones and unwind a bit. For us, giving thanks is something we try to remember to do every day, living with a grateful heart and thanking God for all things. So to start: we are thankful for loving families, great friends, a church home, good health… and, of course, fashion! We find it’s such a great way to be inspired, and an outlet for us to use our creativity. Today’s look is inspired by a casual Thanksgiving day spent with family or friends, cooking, hanging out & watching football. This plaid tunic is perfect to pair with leggings or your softest jeans, plus it has pockets – one of our favorite things!

Styling tip: Add a statement necklace or vest for another layer

Cheers,

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! This is one of our favorite holidays. It’s a day that we love to stay in our pajamas for much of the day, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade & lots of football, and spending time together in the kitchen preparing the Thanksgiving feast. It’s a great time to relax with family and recharge before the holiday clock starts ticking. Giving thanks is something we try to remember to do on a daily basis, but sometimes the hustle and bustle of life can get in the way. One of our favorite traditions (besides the Twist on Thanksgiving) is before blessing our meal, we take turns around the table saying what we’re most thankful for over the past year. What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions?

Also, while we aren’t the ones to brave the Black Friday sales, we will be providing our take on the best Black Friday sales tomorrow and the best Cyber Monday sales Monday. Happy Shopping!

twist on thanksgiving

November 26, 2013

Just two days stand between now and Thanksgiving! We love this holiday; getting to be with friends and family, while watching football (Go Cowboys!), cooking up a storm, and best of all – thanking the good Lord for our blessings. Thanksgiving food is always special and delicious, and while some enjoy it only on Turkey Day, others can eat it until it’s gone and still wish for more. We love turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, but we’re usually ready for a change by the weekend. Hence, our Twist on Thanksgiving!

The Twist on Thanksgiving started a few years ago in our family and has become a favorite tradition ever since. The whole concept of the twist is to use thanksgiving leftovers, or traditional ingredients, in creative ways. Our first year, we had turkey chili (which is still a favorite), jalapeño corn bread, and pumpkin ice cream for dessert. We did part of our Twist early this year to give you a couple of ideas of how to repurpose some of your leftovers and try out these yummy recipes. Turkey Enchiladas (call for chicken, but we use turkey instead) and Spicy Sweet Potatoes – a great combination! Be sure to check back next week to see the other half of the twist: Pomergranate Margaritas & Cranberry Salsa, and Pumpkin Bourbon Cheesecake for dessert…here’s to Turkey Day and The Twist!
