Black Friday Deals

I love going black Friday shopping, every year I go after Thanksgiving dinner with my aunt and we love to just watch the people go crazy about getting an item. One year there was a gigantic pile of Tupperware containers and one guy ran right over to the pile and screamed "I GOT ONE THANK GOD I GOT ONE" it was hysterical. I love the experience of going shopping and getting some good deals.

A lot of stores are doing early Black Friday deals which I think puts people in a predicament. You can either buy the item with a Black Friday deal and hope there won't be a better one on Black Friday, or you can wait and hope it doesn't sell out. Either way, I think it depends on the item you are buying.

So the deals:

Walmart has a ton of electronics that are going to be on sale this year, there is a good deal through straight talk on iPhone 6's for $99 along with numerous deals on TV's.

Best Buy has a great deal on a kitchen aide for only $219 and the ring security system for only 139$. Along with a ton of other great deals.

Target has a ton of televisions on sale this year along with a bunch of other things but their flyers are filled with the TVs on sale.

Tips for black Friday shopping:

• Wear comfortable clothes
• Drink coffee
• be polite to others 
• HAVE FUN and be entertained by the crazy people

Casual Thanksgiving

FLANNEL TOP: J.Crew | JEANS: old (a similar pair here) | SLIP-ON SNEAKERS: Old Navy | TOTE: Vince Camuto tote 

I can not believe that Thanksgiving is this week! This is going to be a pretty easy week for me since I don't have class this week due to the Thanksgiving daybreak. I love Thanksgiving and all of our traditions, my family has two thanksgivings one with each side of the family so one is on Thursday of Thanksgiving and the other is the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year our plans almost had to be changed due to my little sisters cheerleading. Our hometown high school team made it to the sectionals game, this weekend they played a close game but unfortunately, they didn't win. If they had won the game it would have been the day after Thanksgiving making our holiday plans a little more hectic. 

So now about this outfit, I bought this flannel bell-sleeve top on my trip to Vermont. I love the different patterns between the sleeves making the bell of the sleeves really stand out. The blue in this shirt is really standing out in these pictures but it is not that bright in person, it's a perfect dark blue color. I am also lovinggg these slip-on sneakers from Old Navy they are so comfortable, they are a fabric on top so you have to be careful not to get them wet. 

Thanksgiving Home Decor

It is almost Turkey Day! So I feel like the world is super torn right now in two groups. One that is for starting the Christmas season now and one that wants to keep Christmas in December. I saw a post on Facebook and it said "No one is skipping Thanksgiving, it goes like this: October 1st - October 31st- HALLOWEEN, November 1st - November 21st- Christmas, November 22nd - THANKSGIVING, November 23rd - December 23rd- CHRISTMAS. And that is exactly how I feel. Although I don't have my tree up or any other decorations I have been making my lists for what to get everyone and started a little shopping.

There are actually so many Thanksgiving decorations out there so if you are one to decorate for every holiday separately then this is for you. I am loving all of the Thanksgiving-themed pillows which will give any home a cozy feel.

Suede Holiday Outfit

Top: Luxe crew neck tee | Vest: quilted vest | Skirt: Suede snap front mini | Shoes: Suede booties | Necklace: Elisa necklace
Happy Monday everyone! Today is my only day of classes for the week and then I am on Thanksgiving break. I am really looking forward to having some time to relax and hang out with the family. I plan to wear this outfit to one of my Thanksgiving celebrations becuase this skirt is so comfortable.

Suede is everywhere these days and I love it, this suede skirt from old navy is perfect for the holiday season. This skirt is only 30$ and right now Old Navy is having a sale where they take 40% off at checkout which is such a good deal.

Casual Thanksgiving Day Outfit

Outfit: Sweater: Bow-neck sweater | pants: Olive green similar Flats: Scalloped Flats and Similar

I recently got this sweater while in Vermont at the amazing J.Crew Factory store. I love the little touch of the bow, when I fight picked up this sweater I thought the bow belonged in the back but when I tried it on I realized it went in the front. I was thrown off at first but the more I thought about it the more it grew on me. 

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week, this fall season is going by so quickly I can't believe it. Next week my family is going to be headed to my dad's mothers house for dinner and then my aunt's house for dessert, I love seeing my whole family on the holidays it's so hard to get all together these days cause everyone is so busy. And then we go black Friday shopping!! 

My family is lucky enough to have two Thanksgiving meals, on Friday my whole family will head up north to my mom's mothers house for another round of dinner and dessert. I remember when we were little and we would go to my mom's mom's house we would yell at the TV to Santa in the parade what we wanted for Christmas. 

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

Happy Monday my friends, this weekend flew by but I was able to have some downtime and relax which was much needed. But this week is already off to a running start so I'm going to take this time and fantasize about how much food I'm going to eat on turkey day next week and think about which outfit will be best to wear so I can stuff myself. 

Outfit: Top: rollneck sweater | Skirt: ruffle wool mini skirt | Shoes: velvet loafer mules | necklace: ribbon tied pearls

This skirt is perfect for the holiday season and paired with these mules is such a statement. I love how bright and loud these shoes are which will dress up any outfit. 

Top: balloon sleeve choker top | Jeans: toothpick in classic wash | Shoes: velvet pumps | Bracelet: Elaina bracelet | clutch: Glitter wristlet

I love a more casual outfit with some accessories to dress the outfit up, these heels are perfect for the holiday season and would pair so well with any of these three outfits. 

Dress: something navy sweater dress | vest: quilted down vest | booties: suede booties | Bag: flap bag

I have a vest obsession and also a suede bootie obsession and okay maybe I have a sweater dress obsession as well. Needless to say, I love this outfit if I could describe my style this outfit would probably do it justice. This satchel is also so cute and versatile it would go with anything. 

Thanksgiving Decor Inspo

        Nordstrom has so many good pieces this year for Thanksgiving decor I just couldn't help myself. There is nothing better than coming home after a cold and rainy fall day and having the house feeling warm and decorated to remind us why we love this season so much.

       I'm loving the Thanksgiving pillow which is such a good reminder as to what this holiday season is really all about. Being around family and being thankful for the things we have in our lives. I'm also loving the metallic grateful sign which is such an elegant touch to your wall. This Nest candle will make your house filled with the scent of fall. I also want to make a simmer pot because I've never done one before, I might do a post on it if it goes well.

This weekend we are having a girls trip in Manchester Vermont and I am so excited I really can't wait to get away becuase school has been so stressful. If you wanna follow along on your trip add me on Instagram @petiteinherpearls we plan to do a lot of shopping and eat delicious food.
