And just like that, November’s over, and we’re winding down for the year! November is always our busiest month. We chugged immunity shots (from Clean Juice) multiple times so that we could stay on top of all of our deadlines. We started the month releasing all of our gift guides, and shared a round up of the best wrapping paper and ribbons to wrap them in. We worked on the bonus room almost every day–installing a transom window and pocket door AND a hidden door. We shared our new backyard plans (omg I’m so excited). We launched our newest rug collection with Loloi and settled into a new living room layout. I shared the 411 about cabinet overlays and the inspiration behind the paint colors I’m choosing in this house and we ended the month with such a lovely Thanksgiving, followed by my 36th birthday and a whirlwind of holiday sales and shopping!

To ship November off and welcome in the new month, I like to share some of my favorite things from this month with you and some things that you all asked about or clicked on the most! A lot of these things would also make great Christmas gifts if you’re still needing some ideas!

1. The Midnight Library $22 One of my favorite birthday gifts I got this year from Chris. Such an amazing read that I’m going to read AGAIN over the holidays.

2. J.Crew Merino Men’s Sweater $47 with code FESTIVE This sweater was the most popular thing we shared over Black Friday. I got the same one for my Father in Law last year and it’s such a classic, beautiful sweater that he wears all the time.

3. Smiley Disc Necklace $48 My best friend launched this necklace with one of my favorite jewelry companies this month and it makes me smile every day–obviously.

4. High-Waisted Side Pocket Leggings $13 with 35% taken off at checkout Staple leggings with pockets!! Another one of the most popular links we shared on Black Friday. You can check out my favorite workout leggings post here.

5. 12 piece stoneware dinner set $45 I shared a photo of my Thanksgiving plate (somehow Chris knocks it further out of the park every year!) and the number one question I got was where the plate was from. So here it is. Haha. Very chic and affordable!

6. Tiered Midi Dress $138

7. Vienna Mirror $2150 We haven’t purchased many furnishings or decor since moving here but I knew almost immediately I wanted a large mirror over the fireplace. And it had to be LARGE. I took measurements and knew I wanted something around 4’x5′. I found this beautiful mirror that was 43″x60″ and pulled the trigger on it. It took a little bit to get here but we put it over the fireplace in the living room this week and I’m SO PLEASED with the investment. It’s stunning and the size is just right. I don’t think one can have too many lamps, mirrors or rugs. More photos coming!

8. Always Pan $145

9. Slate Ivory Rug $379 for a 7’9″ x 9’9″

10. Vintage Velvet Ribbon $13 for 25 yards

11. Agolde High Wasted Straight Denim $198 I tried Agolde jeans for the first time this month and whew! They are just as good as everyone told me they were. Nice and rigid. Flattering cuts. Holds you in in all the right places. I’m working on a post of my denim journey because there are still some Old Navy Jeans that

12. Sheer Indestructible Tights $99

13. Periwinkle Taper Candles $18 I really wanted a pop on the mantle for Christmas so I got these extra tall tapers and I love the way the cool blue pairs with the warm gray-green walls in our living room.

14. Eye shadow Palette $48 I shared how I switched up a couple things in my makeup routine this month and this eyeshadow palette has been my favorite new addition. It’s the BEST!

15. Check Knit Sweater $59

16. The Biltmore Priceless I had been mentioning to Chris that I wanted to see the Biltmore and he surprised me with a tour on my birthday. I wore the check sweater linked above and spent hours touring the beautifully decorated halls, rooms and grounds. We only had a couple hours, but I left so incredibly inspired and eager to make another trip!!
