Mood Board – Thanksgiving Home Decor Ideas

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is about 2 weeks away? I know right…where is the time going? I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving.  It's by far my favorite holiday of the year, because I get to gather with family and friends, watch the Macy's parade, enjoy a little football and eat some delicious food. Whether you’re hosting a major feast, participating in a “friendsgiving” potluck or just showing up to eat, you’ll want to plan out your decorations early or at the very least figure out a gift to bring as a small token of appreciation for the host or hostess.  If you haven’t started thinking about this yet, then don’t panic.  I’ve put together a fabulous list of some home decor/hostess gift ideas for you in a wallet-friendly way. Everything here is under $50 and I think that you’re bound to find at least one item that you’ll love.  Check out everything below and let me know what you think.

Moody Style: Fall Back on a Favorite

Sharing a couple of my favorite pieces from the weekend, which includes this burgundy open front cardigan from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It's available in all sizes right now and it comes in grey too.  I also found a couple similar versions like this one and this one, that offer several additional colors like black, green and brown.  I also really love these olive stretch denim moto leggings.  They are a little on the thin side, but they works perfectly with a longer top or cardigan.  These leggings are so super comfy and stylish, that I decided to buy the burgundy pair as well.  The best part of both of my favorite pieces is that they are both under $50.

Moody Style: Fall into Banana

Today I’m teaming up with Banana Republic to share some of my favorite classic pieces from the fall collection.  Banana Republic has always been my go-to store when it comes to buying classic, versatile and contemporary work ready separates.  Now I may be a little biased since I worked for the company for a few years after college, but I’m never disappointed when I walk into the store or search for something online.  I always know that I’m going to find effortlessly chic business casual pieces that I can wear to the office during the week as well as hanging out with friend on the weekends.

This Seamless Ribbed Crew is the perfect sweater for the cooler autumn weather.  The knit of this sweather is a super-soft cashmere blend that isn’t too heavy, but it keeps you warm.  You can layer it over a classic white or a striped button-down shirt for the office or mix it up like I did here with this sleeveless print tie-neck blouse.  I paired this sweater with the Avery-Fit Ankle Pant in the camel color.  The Avery-Fit is a professional and chic pant for work yet still trendy with a cropped ankle hem.  These pants are a perfect fit for me and they aren’t too fitted or tight, which is no-no in my office.  These pants will look great with a blouse like this one or this one and a blazer to create a more polished look.

When it comes to shoes, black heels are definitely the most reliable option and they can be added to almost any outfit. The Madison 12-Hour Pump comes in 8 different colors, including black to complete just about every look. These pumps are comfortable, feminine and professional all at the same time. I bought these heels in the secret plum color because I already own several black heels and I wanted to add a pop of color to my outfit.  So what do you all think about my favorite fall pieces from Banana Republic? Have you checked out Banana Republic’s new arrivals yet?  When you have a chance, head over to the site and let me know what are some of your favorites this fall.

Moody Style: Grateful for Gingham

You can never have enough colors of J.Crew's excursion quilted down vests, especially when they go on sale.  I own this vest in 5 other colors and I obsessed with them despite me living in a warm state like Florida. The vest is super comfortable and the gold snap pockets are stylish as well as functional.  The excursion vest is perfect for layering and the down insulation keeps you warm without overheating.  This irish moss vest is currently on sale for $99.99 as well as the heather tiger lily color.  And you can save an additional 30% off today when you use the code: 25HOURS.

Moody Style: Peplum Perfection

This peplum top is just too perfect and it's only $18.  As soon as I saw it in the store I knew I had to buy it.  It also comes in an olive green/white stripe and a solid black in case you're not loving the stripes.  The sleeves are a little snug, so I suggest sizing up on this one.  I'm wearing a medium here and I'm really happy about how it fits.  I love pairing any stripes with these leopard flats and this top is long enough for you to pair it with leggings - which I love.  And I normally would have added one of my Kendra Scott necklaces, but I can't get enough of this bowtie choker.  I think it really completed the look. What do you guys think? Are you guys loving the choker trend right now? Let me know in the comments below!
