Thanksgiving is just a day away! And if you're entertaining this year, you know table settings and decor are (almost!) just as important as food.

Here's some of my favorite table decor right now. You don't always have to go with orange and pumpkins. One of the best combinations is a chic mix of gold and silver, and you can throw in an elegant winter aubergine for some color.

Hello there lovely readers!

I'm at 30 weeks now (that's 7 1/2 months)... so the big day is approaching quickly! And I've started having dreams of meeting the little one. In the last one, she spoke perfect English at birth and was telling me, "Mommy, everything's gonna be OK!" :)  

In the shots below, we took a coffee break at a cute corner bakery in Old Town Alexandria I'd been wanting to try out for a while called Bittersweet.

Adding ultra-feminine touches like an open collar shirt with dainty layered necklaces, patent leather pointy stilettos and a fitted waistcoat make the menswear trend look right for even the girliest girls.

Hello there!

Still at 7 months, and enjoying the beautiful fall weather here in D.C. Sometimes hubby and I like to go for a stroll around Old Town Alexandria and explore the new shops and restaurants. We'd never tried Union Street Pub before, and found they had a pretty extensive brunch and lunch menu (lots of crabcakes!) It's right by the waterfront if you're ever in the neighborhood.

I'm wearing a dress from Asos Maternity here. It's the first piece I bought from them, and must say, I absolutely love it. I think I've already worn it a million times. I love the cute bird print and comfortable material, but most of all, I love the shape - empire waisted, cut right above the knee, with a flattering criss-crossing neckline. It's been the perfect thing to throw on in summer and now layer in fall.

xoxo
