This weekend I was in full-holiday preparation mode. And by that I mean, trying to get my house in some sense of order (and doing all my laundry) before hosting a small Thanksgiving and then finally decorating for Christmas. I’m one of those people who has to hold strong and wait until the say after Thanksgiving to get out my Christmas decorations. Not that I don’t love love love Christmas but I just have to take it one holiday at a time. It’s too overwhelming for me to try to tackle two holidays at once. Although if someone offered to come and decorate for me, I’m sure I’d be open to putting out all the stockings and trim a little earlier. Any takers?
Since I’m sure lots of you are gearing up for a short week and possibly hitting the road (or taking to the skies) to visit family and friends, I’ll keep it short and get straight to the ‘fit. Basically it can be summed up in two quick points. 1. My love for this hat hasn’t died. 2. I’m obsessed with this quilted jacket and love it even more because it was a Forever 21 find.
Yup, so that’s about it. Two quick PSA’s (to stick with the quick and to the point theme).
1. I’ll be posting my annual (and probably only) gift guide – 50 items for everyone on your list under $50 – on Wednesday. I’ll be sure to update it through Cyber Monday with sale codes and more. So keep an eye out for it. Check out last year’s here and get tons of options here on Pinterest.

2. I’ll be sharing my Louisville Small Business Saturday favorites on Friday. If you’re a local shop and want to include some sale info, send it over to danielle@louwhatwear.com

I’m a proponent of the hat, and I’m loving that quilted jacket!
You look absolutely beautiful! I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving as hostess and looking forward to seeing those Christmas decorations in full swing after Thursday! xoxo
You always look genuinely happy in your photos. It’s contagious–I love it. I’m also digging this jacket {and hat} on you! Oh, and I think I was an elf in another life, which is weird because I’m not crafty, but I’m your woman. My christmas tree decorations are the bomb diggity…buut I guess I’m a little biased.
