Being thankful…
My Thanksgiving didn’t quite go the way the way it was meant to: there were no turkeys to be found (I failed at even getting my hands on a replacement chicken) so I made Greek salad instead. Normally I’d watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles but decided to go for the Sopranos. It all felt decidedly un-festive. There wasn’t a big meal, no Macy’s parade or football to watch and I couldn’t even get revved up for Black Friday madness… it felt a bit like any other day. That was until I came across this post. It made me want to sit around a table and indulge in that cringe-worthy tradition of having to say what you’re thankful for. And, if I did the things that would top my list would of course be friends and family. Despite them being spread across countless cities and countries it’s always the best when you’re reunited. Also, I’m pretty darn thankful for this little here blog and for the people (ehem, that you) that keep coming back to it . Unexpectedly, this has given me the opportunity to pursue all sorts of things I never thought possible.
Okay, enough with the sentimentals because I have something very important to say. I’m seriously obsessed with these boots – they have become the Converse of my winter. I wear them pretty much everyday and they are only getting better and softer and more wonderful. That is all.

Hey Abbie! I got the jumper a couple of weeks ago – they also had it in a really bright pink. Tried to find it online but couldn’t see it in the web shop. Not sure if they still have it in store… was marked down to 17 pounds. xx
Love your Ambush boots, especially with those burgundy skinnies. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love love love your look! You look stunning
Enjoy your weekend dear ♥

Very nice layout makeover! Happy belated Thanksgiving. I would be very thankful if I were to find a sunny yellow jumper like yours! X
I’m not going to do a Thanksgiving post cos I don’t know what it is (I’m not from any religious background).
I would like to say, thank you for appearing in my life our friendship will last for a very long time. Okay the cheesy bit is done, love you! xxx
Kit. I love you!
Thanksgiving isn’t religious. It’s an American holiday celebrating ‘harvest’y things and when the pilgrims and Indians had a meal together… or something. I don’t know, it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. Basically it’s just an excuse to get family together and eat a lot. Plus, when you’re a kid you get to make turkey and pilgrim paraphernalia in school, which is always fun. xx

You look amazing – I really love the colour of your jeans!
Although you didn’t have your usual Thanksgiving, it really sounds like a relaxing day nonetheless! Also, I can see why you love those boots, they seem quite comfortable (: Have a great weekend!
Yellow is seriously your colour, actually Burgendy too – I’m starting to think you’re really an Autumn girl, although of course you have killer legs and can rock denim cutoffs in the summer… ah all round luv for you.
Your boots are the best! I have always wanted a similar ones but I never decide between which ones to buy because I like all the boots I see
I love your outfits.
Kisses
Wowwww, I never win any giveaways! Thanks! Also, I love those boots and your new site design
Lovely words! And you look so cool in those bright colors! HAPPY WEEKEND! XO Rebecca

Jenny, I tried on a similar pair of boots at Nordstrom today, hoping to replicate your look. But alas! My not-as-skinny, not-as-long-as-yours legs just didn’t look quite right in them! Ah well. They look ah-mazing on you!!! Super cute outfit!
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and Fred!
