Guest Post - Living on the Chic...and Scenes from Thanksgiving

Good morning everyone.

I'm still in a bit of a turkey coma so trying to 'look alive' here but it's a bit of a rough go...sooooo tired!

 It was worth it though...







My parents and brother in law were here to celebrate with us...hubster and mom did the cooking, I did the table setting and daughter #1 whipped up that pie divinity...good times my friends, good times.

I'm definitely still in the post turkey fog...as our pooch...


 but it's a new week so off we go...

And what better way to jump back into things than with a guest post?

Today I'm here...


taking part in Trissta's brilliant 'Chic Tips' series.

If you'd like to know my 5 best frugal & fabulous styling ideas like this one...



clickski HERE.

I'm a new follower of LonC and I'm finding it quite enjoyable indeed.

A quick peruse of its pages turns up this kind of lovliness...








Pretty, pretty.
And PS, that first outfit...so my idea of fabulous- WANT that sparkly cardigan.

Hope you all have a gorgeous day...I'm off to on a little DIY adventure that involves pearly white spray paint...reveal hopefully coming tomorrow.

    we had our turkey dinner on Sun, and I'm sure I'm still digesting it. It was our first big dinner at our new place, though and it was fab. Glad you had a good day too!

    Those photos are amazing and I definitely want that outfit. Slouchy jeans and a glitter jacket look so perfect together.

Sorry about the annoying captias...tried turning them off for a day and my inbox exploded with crap.

Smooches to everyone who perservered and left a sweet comment anyways! xoxo
