Thanksgiving is Thursday, which means we are officially on the bullet train to Christmas. And doesn’t it feel overwhelming sometimes? Like, now it’s REALLY time to decorate the house, get the tree, buy the gifts, wrap the gifts, attend the parties, bake the cookies, visit the family…ALL THE THINGS.

So take this week to reflect.

Slow down. Breathe. Take it all in. Embrace love, laughter, family, friends, rest & prayer. Smile at a stranger and say thank you for good deeds. Write down what you’re grateful for so that you never forget it…then curl up on the couch with a cup of homemade apple cider and send up a prayer of thanks.

Thank you so much for reading Lipgloss and Lace – I’m truly thankful and appreciative of each and every one of you! Happy Thanksgiving! -XO

Top:ย Anthropologieย | Skirted Leggings: old (similar) | Heels: Loubition | Glasses: Quay | Bag: Gucci

One of my favorite Instagram memes goes something like this: “I never understood why we get so dressed up for Thanksgiving and don’t go anywhere…just walking around the kitchen fly as hell”.

All I have to say is: YES HONEY, YES! Bring on the fur, sequins and anything else us ladies wanna wear that day. Like this overly obnoxious puffy sleeve blouse, perhaps? You know me; the bigger the sleeve the better! For some reason, a black and white combo like this always reminds me of Thanksgiving. Thinking about it, I wore something similar to this last year. I guess if it aint broke, don’t fix it!

Have a great weekend, see you Monday!ย

I swear,ย every timeย I wear either this top or carry this clutch, I get SO manyย compliments/questions. So there was no better title for this post than “Thanks, It’s New”. I mean, that is literally my responseย all of the time!
ย 
This off-shoulder top from LuLu’s also comes in aย blushย color too (soย pretty!). What I love about the top is that it stays put. Itย doesn’tย fallย offย of the shoulder because the elastic around you is pretty tight. Nothing drives me crazier than having toย constantlyย adjust. And can we talk about the clutch? I wish it wereย availableย online, but I was passing through a small boutique here inย the OC and snagged it. Totally game over when I saw it…
ย 
Hope you all have a great weekend! Make sure to stop by again Monday for a peek at one of my all-time favorite dresses. It’s such a dream! -xo

The weather has been playing tricks on us.

Last week it was freezing with drizzle, and this week we’re back in the 80’s!

I’ve decided enough is enough, so I brought out my brights – and I’m keeping them out…rain or shine ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading xo

April is always the time of year when I flip my closet and take stock of what I might need to refresh for the summer season.

While I’m good at holding onto items and wearing them for multiple seasons, every few years I do need to refresh and replace some of the basics that I’ve worn into the ground.

I love a good striped sweater, so they are always the first item I end up replacing. I love them for spring/summer, and always grab one when it’s time to bike down to the beach or watch the sunset!

Thanks for reading! I’m back to my normal posting schedule, so I’ll see you Thursday! xo
