Thanksgiving Outfit + Recipes


Thanksgiving is just around the corner and comes with quality time with family + friends, great food, and remembering what you're thankful for. If you're planning on contributing to the meal (or cooking the whole meal yourself!) this year, you've probably already started thinking about the menu. But what about incorporating a couple of non-traditional dishes into the table? These are a few of our favorites (thanks to Pinterest, of course)! 

And when it comes to dressing for the holiday, comfy + pulled together is key. This Velvet top just hit the floor and we think it would be perfect with jeans, cords, or a skirt! Dress it up with some gold jewelry or stop in to check out our selection of Marlyn Schiff pieces!

Style + A Recipe




Gloves, mittens, and soup! Talk about the ultimate fall pairing. From mittens to gloves that are text-friendly, it's always a good idea to have a couple pairs on hand.

We love finding yummy seasonal recipes on Pinterest (follow us here!) and think this creamy chicken noodle soup would hit the spot on a chilly October day. And since soup freezes well, it's the perfect meal to make on a Sunday night and have on hand for the rest of the week!
