The Mondays: November 25, 2024

Today, we are boarding a plane for the holidays. This is Sloane’s first flight. To say that I am nervous would be an understatement. My very active toddler struggles to sit through a meal, a two-and-a-half-hour flight seems like a lot to ask.

We have an iPad loaded with Moana, Bluey, Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventures, and Finding Nemo. We have the unicorn headphones. We have a spinning container full of snacks. The CARES seat harness to avoid hauling a car seat. And Jesus…we have Jesus.

Shopbop is having a 25% off sale site wide, no spending limit (CODE: HOLIDAY). I do not have 30 products to recommended in a seemingly endless carousel of Instagram slides. I have just a handful of products that I actually bought this fall, loved and have been waiting to share until the sale hit.

I bought these Larroude silver ballet flats as a Christmas gift for myself. They are the perfect thing for a stylish Mom who is almost always in denim these days. I bought my true size, but they needed a little stretching for my high arches.

I bought this Askk NY henley because I wanted a casual shirt with a little bit of style, and I think the large buttons give it that. The size guide is off; size guide said 3 but 2 was the right one for my size 6-36C top.

This Aligne Clay Sweater in an unexpected green hue is the perfect WFH or in office piece. I love the color in person. It looks so chic. I wear it with wide leg jeans and trousers. I’ve also worn it over a v-neck black sheath dress with kitten heels.

This Tanya Taylor Top and Tanya Taylor dress are on HEAVY rotation in my closet. Both are chic, but relaxed. Great for fall, winter, spring. On sale, I would snap them up in a second due to the cost-per-wear and how great I feel in them, but they’re a little spendy. I’m in a Medium.

Lastly, Varley. Just everything from Varley. Buy all of it. I recently purchased this chocolate brown sweatshirt and leggings, and not only does my rear view look great in them, I like that they have that cool Mom vibe for Sunday errands.

Bon Appetit Magazine’s Instagram account has been doing God’s work in the run up to Thanksgiving. If you’re hosting or bringing food, please take a moment to give it a look. The green beans with crispy shallots are amazing. And if you need a stuffing recipe, they have the one. The only one.

Plus, the account is full of lots of great tips about making things the day before and hosting suggestions. Following the account has honestly made me wish I was I was hosting this year.

It’s a short post because the packing for one grown woman and one toddler took longer than imagined. But I hope you have a lovely holiday and safe travels if you’re going somewhere.
