My Latest Snag: Anna Cate Dress.
I’m running into a problem — I’ve now worn two dresses I had thought I was going to set aside for Thanksgiving because I love them so much! The first was the Cleobella dress I’m wearing here, which I wore out to dinner with friends, and now I am breaking out this Anna Cate dress (generously gifted to me by the brand and e-retailer Tuke Bazaar) for an event this weekend, too. Oops! The color and pattern are just so deliciously fall. I will be wearing with a chocolate brown headband.

Weekend Musings: Tomorrow’s Business.
A friend of mine recently used the expression “tomorrow’s business,” as in — “why worry about that now? that’s tomorrow’s business.” I loved the turn of phrase, finding it a sound rubric for separating what matters now from the whirl of worries outside of my immediate control.
What is the most important thing today?
The rest is tomorrow’s business.
P.S. Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry.
Shopping Break.
+These corded crossbody phone slings are so cute!
+Truly drooling over these Marion Parke embellished velvet heels in the forest green. I might need them for Christmas eve? AHHHH. (But I did find them for 60% off in a chic blue, too.)
+Speaking of, this is my front-runner for a Christmas dress. I’ll pair with big statement earrings and high heels (hopefully the aforementioned).
+This top makes me want to drink a martini.
+My two most-worn coats at the moment are this reversible (!) puffer/teddy coat (!!!!) — so beyond chic in the olive/chocolate color, and incredibly warm — and my quilted liner jacket from Everlane, when it’s a bit more mild. Both of them go with everything.
+This hybrid between a sherpa gilet and quilted liner jacket would also be a good pick for this time of year.
+Can you believe this sherpa trim tote is under $75?
+Cool girl cords.
+This $125 tennis necklace looks surprisingly real.
+Just a reminder ICYMI that Target’s Sugar Paper gift wrap is now available! This always sells out and becomes difficult to find the closer we get to the holidays. It is SUCH good quality for the price — worth spending an extra few dollars per roll because it is very thick and the patterns are fantastic. The candy canes!
+These sequin-embellished herringbone shorts (!) could be a really fab twist on a festive look — pair with suede heels and a sweater/button-down?
+Already ordered this Nutcracker sticker book for my daughter.
