Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!

So, Thanksgiving is in 48 hours and most of us are running around like crazy prepping for our families to come over. Unless you are lucky and one of the ones that gets to show up at someone else's home with a bottle of wine and an appetizer. (I am actually one of those too!). I love the idea of having a Thanksgiving dinner. I think the middle of the day meals are exhausting and a little odd with the overall timing of the day. I love candles, cocktails (of course) and it is just so intimate and cozy at night time. I found these images online of non traditional Thanksgiving decor. Above are some of my favs. Enjoy and I hope you eat a lot and have time to relax with your loved ones!

pashminas at your winter wedding???

So I just got a call from a very distraught mother of a bride. Turns out her church is now requiring that all brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the brides, etc. be dressed "appropriately" for weddings at the church. This apparently means no strapless dresses. Really? Are they serious? Because who doesn't have strapless dresses for their gowns whether it's the bride or bridesmaids? I am sorry that one barely dressed group of ladies messed it up for the rest. Anyway, got me thinking about pashminas as a solution for them even though their event is in JUNE! I do love pashminas and I personally own about one in every color. I love fall/winter weddings where we lay out baskets of pashminas for the ladies to wrap up in. Now, it's very rare that we get fall/winter weddings down here on the coast, but I do love this idea and while it's not a new trend, it's really always a cute little something extra for you to offer your guests and especially your bridesmaids.
