Oh, hey, November! There’s definitely still a week left in November buuuut I really want to wrap up this month and move on to December – While I love Thanksgiving but I have to admit, my Christmas tree is up and I guess I’m one step ahead of the game this year likely because I know there’s a little baby that will be arriving in my quickly nearing future. I’m just about in full-on nesting mode but I also know the holidays will keep me very, very busy! I also wanted to share my monthly “Life Lately” post today because I have some really fun posts coming up in the next week, one of them being a round-up of all Black Friday sales you could ever want to know about locally!

^ Happy to break out these LL Bean boots this month. Also, the new LL Bean store just opened at Easton, just in time for the holidays!

^ I discovered the cutest Etsy shop based out of Columbus focused on custom design and lettering, Gilded Grace Design! I had to share this sign on my Insta this month. Check out Chloe’s designs… they are beautiful!

^ I adore this shot I took of The Book Loft.

^ I published one of my favorite posts about Columbus of all time, 5 Essential Stops in German Village. This post was such an organic fit for girl about columbus and I had the best time exploring, taking photos, and crafting the post! Thanks for having me, GV!

^ My best friend, Katy, got married this month!!! And what a flawless, beautiful wedding it was. I’m so happy for you and Seamus! You can see the pictures from their big day here.

^ Katy’s gorgeous flowers by Flowers on Orchard Lane. I love them you guys and they also did the flowers for my wedding!

^ We all loved our bridesmaid dresses by Jenny Yoo! So classy, comfy, and beautiful!

^ Looooving the sun and taking a stroll downtown to check out the Scioto Mile / Greenways.

^ The Scioto Greenways project officially opened this month. It looks great and I recommend y’all check it out.

^ Partnered with Columbus-based All’asta for a fun giveaway of this awesome customizable market bag (the perfect present, y’all!). Also, All’asta is also hoping you will join them for their #GivingTuesday Silent Auction event on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 from 6-8PM at The Barn. All’asta has partnered up with St. Baldrick’s Foundation to make this a fun night all about raising funds to fight against pediatric cancer.

^ So fun seeing these ladies at Blogsgiving 2015 at Denmark. Thanks so much to the ladies of Kasual Life for hosting!

^ Had a fab date night at the newly opened Copious / Notes in German Village!

^ Nic and I hosted our 2nd Annual Friendsgiving… there’s nothing we love more than being with our friends… especially friends that are like family! 🙂

^ A colorful fall tablescape.

^ Bundled up to brave the cold this past weekend. I felt semi-ridiculous in this outfit because I had so many layers on to stay warm. Sweater / Beanie / Sunglasses / Boots.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Holiday season!
