NYC Thanksgiving

After a wonderful Thanksgiving morning in horse country we headed to NYC for dinner with JCW's family.

Everyone was busy cooking when we arrived.

Our view from The Standard the next morning.

 

We went to the Alton Lane showroom where I struggled with JCW to pick out something other than a blue windowpane.

JCW's mom was going over some fabric swatches and I think we all agreed on this Schumacher...there may be some daughter-in-law overlap with this one.

 

Maryland Thanksgiving

We spent the first part of Thanksgiving in Maryland and watched the Thanksgiving Fox Hunt commence.

  

My mom did her usual spread of Deviled Eggs with Caviar and Ham Biscuits.

JCW & EAS

There were lots of furry friends enjoying the holiday.

We ended the morning with oysters and many of them contained little mini crabs. Apparently they taste like sweet corn or at least that's what JCW told me in hopes that I would try one. Have you ever found oyster crabs?

GiGi's Uber Clutch

I am a huge fan of the GiGi New York's All in One bags. So it's no surprise that I am all about the Uber Clutch in French Leather for winter.

The green is my absolute favorite...

but I also love wearing neutrals like the taupe.

The vibrant red would be great for holiday parties or paired with a red lip.

All of the Uber Clutches come with an extra gold tassel and can be personalized with your initials in gold. These would make such wonderful holiday gifts and even better holidays gifts if they were filled with Hermes bangles.

The code DREAMS will give you 25% off your order which in good through Friday, December 7th.

It's time to announce the winner of the monogrammed catch-all giveaway. The winner is entry #13 Caitlin!

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for the blogosphere which has enabled me to connect with all of you. You have enriched my life immensely. May your Thanksgiving be warm and lovely.

Early Black Friday

Is it just me or do you also feel like Black Friday has already begun? My inbox is already flooded with deals and here are a few things I have been eyeing. Let's start with these Tartan Pants from J.Crew. They are offering 25% off  everything with the code COLOR25.
 

 I am all about plaid and have also been loving these Janey Flats in addition to some pretty fabulous cashmere from their last roll out.

 

I have this Sequin Tee from last year and it's one of the only sparkly items that I own. They are currently at the J.Crew Factory which is offering 40% off site wide with an additional 15% and free shipping on orders over $100 with the code GIVEANDGET.

 

Let the shopping begin!  

  

Vagabond House

The best part (besides cooking & eating) of Thanksgiving is creating your tablescape. I've had pretty much every item from Vagabond House's Antler Rustic collection on my lust list for quite sometime. The Morning Hunt collection is also a favorite.

This Pewter Ice Bucket would look great on my newly finished bar table.

Vagabond has an impressive collection of Bar Ware including some rather handsome decanter tags.

The Polo Player Salt & Pepper Shakers would be a great addition to a polo tailgate...

...and lets not forget the Turkey Salt & Pepper Shakers for your Thanksgiving table.

There is something so adorable about this Hive Honey Pot...I am thinking brunch or shower.

Will you be hosting and have you started planning your Thanksgiving table?

Legacy Chase

The Legacy Chase at Shawan Downs is always a great day and sometimes even proves itself to be a little too much fun.

The weather was perfect for races.

 

All of the essential tailgate items.

Southern Proper's Cotton Pickin' bowtie couldn't have been better coordinated.

I wore an equestrian themed top from Tuckernuck.

There was a wonderful turnout at Roanoke College's alumni tailgate.  

Mac and Bob's sticker for a friend's joy ride...now that's a blast from college.
