Lauren, it looks like such a lovely month! We put up our tree and decorations yesterday after we got home from traveling to see family for the Thanksgiving holiday and it truly does make the house so much cozier xx

Put up faux silver prelit Christmas tree. Paper In Focus planner. Watching Shrinking, Somebody Somewhere, Say Nothing. All excellent. Also watched a documentary on Yacht Rock on Max that was entertaining & enlightening. I enjoy being educated from my biases (thinking Toto was a one hit wonder).

Happy Anni, loves. Y’all look but a dream ❤️ So hype for more TJR—this was the first I heard of her new book. Despite your dad’s read on that long sleeve, it looks amazing. I’ve never gotten anything from Aritzia.

Aww thanks Kaitlyn! 🤍 Lol, my Dad's comments are always something special. Aritzia actually started as a wee Vancouver brand so we grew up with it kind of being the only place to shop before the online world. It can be a little young for me now, but I still love some good staples from there for sure! Happy weekend :)

Great information today! Bought the tshirt. Yes!!! I put my tree up 2 days before thanksgiving to make the house more festive and it was a hit!

Currently watching Pachinko on apple tv because I never wanted to read the book.

Thanks again for your excellent writing! Can’t wait for Taylor Jenkins Reid’s new book!

Aww thanks Tina! I really appreciate this comment. Going to put 'Pachinko' on my watch list right away because I also haven't read the book (it's sooo long!). Great recommendation. xx

This is so cosy, Lauren! Especially that velvet ribbon + candlestick combo. Swoon.

We don't put up a tree but my husband made one from our wooden coat rack and battery-powered fairy lights, last year. Evaluating if this is the year for a small potted tree.

We just watched 3 Body Problem and I can't stop thinking about it. I loved how ambitious it was in its science and how intimate it was in the pathos of how much we all struggle as individual human beings. The best kind of speculative fiction.

To digital or paper planner I say both! I love melding the two to project manage everything aggressively lol.

Happy anniversary and happy weekend and happy almost-December xx

Ahhh Aoife! Thank you so much. I love the sounds of your wooden coat rack tree, that's so sweet and a lovely memory. I've heard good things about 3 Body Problem, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to add this to my watch-list. Happy almost-December! ❣️❣️

I don't know if the Aritzia model was told to look grouchy, but I personally don't think it's a good look for the product. Time for a nap.
