Happy Black Friday! I hope you all had a magical Thanksgiving and where able to spend time with family whether in person or virtually. With today being Black Friday, I thought I would share some of my favorite sales happening right now along with some of my favorite items from each retailer. Happy Shopping!

Shopbop has 20% a large selection of items when you spend $200. These sneakers, this cozy sweater, and my favorite jean silhouette are my picks from the sale. 

Bloomingdales has 25% a large selection of items. Included in the sale are two of my favorite boots these and these. They rarely go on sale so it's a great time to pick them up. 

Tuckernuck has either 20%, 25%, or 30% off depending how much you spend. Loving this luxe camel coat, this fur vest, and this sweater dress. 

Banana Republic has 50% off. My picks are this cashmere sweater, this fair isle sweater, and this coat. 

J. Crew also has 50% off. I have and love this fleece! This sweater and bag are also great picks. 

Club Monaco has 30% off. I am loving this coat and sweater along with these different jewelry pieces 1, 2, 3.

Mango has up to 50% items. This pretty sweater and blouse are on my wishlist. You also don't want to miss this tweed blazer, these booties, and this leather jacket.

Thanksgiving will be different for everyone this year and for us it means celebrating just the two of us and from abroad. As food is a such a focus for Thanksgiving, I wanted to share with all of you what we plan to make for our paired down Thanksgiving. For the menu, we each picked our Thanksgiving must-have dish and then added some other favorites to round out the meal. 

Duck Breasts With Citrus Port Cherry Sauce - While we both like turkey for sandwiches, neither of us really like roast turkey that much and because small turkeys are still quite large, we decided we would change to another poultry option. We thought about doing cornish hens, but as we have never made them at home, we decided we didn't want to make things complicated by adding a new to us main dish. We have made these duck breasts numerous times and find them easy and delicious, so they will be a great poultry alternative to turkey. 

Mashed Potatoes (My Husband's Must-Have) - My husband is a big mashed potatoes fan, so I knew we couldn't pass on having them for our mini Thanksgiving. I do prefer mashed potatoes with skins, so we will be following this recipe. 

Stuffing - Stuffing is my second favorite item for Thanksgiving after pecan pie. I have been having this one at Thanksgiving for the past few years and will be making it again this year. The recipe is so good!

Glazed Carrots - I first made these carrots this past spring and they are delicious! The maple glaze also makes them feel extra festive. 

Green Beans - With everything else on the heavier side, I wanted a green vegetable to cut through all the fat. Ina's recipes are always amazing, so I am sure these will be the perfect addition to our mini Thanksgiving. 

Pecan Pie (My Must-Have) - Pecan pie has been my favorite pie as long as I can remember. I also only have it on Thanksgiving, so it's something I always look forward to on the holiday.

Banana Republic already started their Black Friday sale and everything is 50%. They have so many great pieces right now that I had to share some of my favorites that I've gotten for myself and others that are great gift ideas. I've already picked up this sweater and these pants and am also eyeing these neutral booties - so chic! I think these slippers, any of their jewelry (I especially love this and this), these gloves, and this hat are such great gift ideas. I know I would love to receive any of them! Shop even more of my favorites below.

Happy Friday all! It has been a bit since my last edition of Friday Finds, so I am happy to be back at it! I hope you enjoy these links and have a fantastic weekend! 

There's so many good shows on TV right now! Have you watched The Queen's Gambit or the latest season of The Crown yet? 

Speaking of royals, can't wait to pick up Elizabeth Holmes new book. 

My favorite candle for the holiday season. 

Love these tips from Emily on her learnings from working with an interior designer. 

I own and love these boots! The quality is amazing! 

I've been wanting to make this recipe for ages and finally have all the ingredients to make it this weekend. 

This sweater makes me wish I could go skiing this winter.

Thanksgiving Outfit Idea

I took a bit of a break from posting here the last couple weeks to spend time with friends and family while we were in the States. With living in Amsterdam, we had not seen our friends and family in the US since before all the spring lockdowns, so we really tried to maximize our time in the States while being safe and cautious. We are back in Amsterdam for now, and I am excited to be back posting and have lots of fresh content to share with you guys for the holidays! 

With Thanksgiving only a week away, I thought I would start there. Though Thanksgiving will be looking a little different this year, I still plan to dress up for the occasion and as food is a main focus, I also plan to keep things on the dressy but comfortable side. This sweater dress is the ideal piece for the dressy, comfortable look I am looking to achieve. Plus its a-line silhouette is very flattering and the soft cashmere makes it oh so cozy. I love the brown color for a fall vibe, but also think the black is a classic wardrobe piece. And because the dress is on the casual side, I know I will be able to continue to wear it all fall and winter!
