Last Thursday, while the rest of you were surrounded by your loved ones eating turkey and pumpkin pie, I was surrounded by thousands of strangers watching a giant inflatable Hello Kitty float down 6th Avenue. Livin’ the dream, folks. Livin’ the dream.

Despite the epic crowds, Thanksgiving in New York was wonderful. After the parade, we walked all over Midtown looking at Christmas decorations and watching people fall down at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. These are things that bring me joy.

I just got home a few hours ago and I’m trying to catch up on Gilmore Girls and take advantage of a few Cyber Monday sales, so I’m keeping this post short. More details of my trip (including Hamilton!) will be on the blog over the next few days!

November in a Nutshell

So, it’s like…pretty much winter now I think. This was a work outfit from last week, and it was so cold in my office I had to use the blanket scarf as an actual blanket. Next step: electric blanket scarf.

NY&Co sunglasses

New sunglasses just in time for me to not see the sun for 5 months. Only $15 though!

I spent a lot of time in theaters this month, starting when I saw my friends perform in Young Frankenstein (I have very talented friends).

…And then those same friends came to see me on stage, performing in a modern dance showcase. These were opening night flowers from my choreographer.

Sigh. This was my election day outfit. I was so proud of my democrat blue. I’m finally at a point I can look at it again.

Kendra Scott bracelet, Popsugar Must Have box

Check out the cute Kendra Scott bracelet that came in my Must Have Box (c/o Popsugar) this month! I’ve already worn it multiple times (I’m a big fan because it’s adjustable). It’s been fun getting a box of surprises every month. The Must Have Box would make a great gift for a sister or close friend (and by “close friend” I mean yourself)  – you can get $5 off your first box with the code SHOP5!
