A Thanksgiving Playlist

Well, isn't this just wonderful?! I adore this playlist that I came across on the lovely Pinterest...my little pinned it! I am not a culinary queen, but I can be the queen of a playlist every once in awhile. And this is just the bee's knees...or should I say turkey's feathers!

We won't be cooking this year, instead we'll be spending Thanksgiving in DC with my dad's family. Everyone will get a break from the kitchen, as we are planning to celebrate at the University Club. Perhaps a hostess might be reading this and gain some inspiration for the perfect background music!

This week marks my third year blogging, my how time flies!

I am so grateful today for my family, friends, and readers ...

From my thankful and appreciative heart, to all of yours. 

Happy Thanksgiving holiday!!

dress the turkey and the table

Tomorrow's the big day!

Are you busy cooking, cleaning, decorating, baking...or simply relaxing at home to prepare for the biggest feast of the year? 

Also, I'd love to know if the meals/parties captured in the images below are real life. If so, invite me next year, pretty please? I'll bring champagne! 

These images are captured on Pinterest through a contest Anthropologie was hosting in conjunction with Remodelista. Read more about it HERE.

Thanksgiving party skirts

Mrs. Lilien is a regal figure in the blogging world with her playful and cocktail party-centric character. Her blog posts are filled with whimsical interpretations of modern mad-men esque parties with mixed drinks, party gowns, and the right amount of glamour. If the muse couldn't be anymore enjoyable, she writes her blog posts in rhyme. It's absolutely, charmingly, wonderful. 

She starred in a duet photo shoot with Miss Wood for a Thanksgiving affair. Pulling the perfect fall shades in a Palm Springs flair, the two look lovely. 

Even though it's bitter cold in the rest of the nation today (I had to pull out my winter parka), hopefully this color spurt adds a little bit of sunshine to your day!

What are you wearing this Thanksgiving?

Happy Monday, toodles!
