Beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescapes
Thanksgiving is almost here so I am sharing my beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescape. We always celebrated with food, gathering with our family and friends. Planning your Thanksgiving menu can be both exciting and stressful and how preparing a beautiful tablescape can be equally overwhelming. During this time, we pretty much cook the same food so we do not have to stress out like a good turkey or ham, green bean casserole, and pecan pie. But a beautifully set table for Thanksgiving can impress your guests, so I am sharing a round-up of tablescapes that y’all can recreate for Thanksgiving.
Black And White Thanksgiving Tablescape
SHOP THE POST:
This black and gold theme Thanksgiving table is one of my favorites. I went out of the box and decorated differently this time. And I do not normally use black but since I switched up the theme of my dining room to Modern French. I had to try putting these sets together adding again my mini pumpkin, gold flatware with this patterned cloth napkin. And I wanted the center of the table simple so we can put all the good food in it. I should say this is a combination of a modern and elegant Thanksgiving Tablescape.
Neutral Thanksgiving Tablescape
SHOP THE POST:
If you do not like stroking colors like black then this is for you. It is so neat and clean and perfect for minimalists, this is very easy to style because of the neutral color scheme. The table cloth is similar to the modern table, you can also add cardholders and gold napkin rings.
Farmhouse Thanksgiving Tablescape
In this nature inspired dining table, the color palette is also very simple. You can also add pumpkins at the center of the table on top of the table runner. Maybe add a linen table cloth as well! I hope I was able to give a better idea in mixing and matching your thanksgiving table setting.
Simple Thanksgiving Tablescape

Thanksgiving Table Setting

These are all similar items… SILVERWARE/ TINY PUMPKINS/ PLACEMATS/CENTER PIECE
It will be Thanksgiving this Thursday, even though I have already decorated for Christmas. We are still looking forward for this day. We will be celebrating it different this year being at home and just us family. So I decided to make it fancy and we will all dress up for the dinner time. We will also make all American food, I will try to make a green bean casserole it will be my first so wish me luck. I already checked out Youtube University on how to make it.
So in this setting I wanted to make use of this placement I got last year. Mostly they are for decorations as we always go to a friends house for Thanksgiving. The items you see here are from last years except for the pumpkins and the centerpiece which I got from Target and already linked up there. I added the 2 wine glass for Hubby and me and the stemless for the kids since they will just be getting cranberry juice.
As for my Thanksgiving outfit, I rented it…. the link to the dress is here. Also another look back from my favorite Thanksgiving look here.
How about you? How will you celebrate this year and even though we are all apart. Let us not forget to say Thank you for all the blessings we have in life big or small.
Sending you all a Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe and healthy!

Pumpkin Spice colored Wrap Dress for my Thanksgiving Outfit
SHOP THE LOOK:
SATIN WRAP DRESS SIMILAR HERE
VINCI CAMUTO HEELS (OLD) SIMILAR HERE
MANGO BAG (OLD)
Pumpkin Spice colored Wrap Dress for my Thanksgiving Outfit. Not a fan of Pumpkin spice flavor but this dress will surely spice up your style! Typing this post was hard because I still think about my dad. On a good note, still thankful that his sufferings was not prolonged. Still thankful for all the wonderful blessings we receive everyday in our life. I know my dad is happy were he is now.
Going back to this dress, satin is another Holiday style I love wearing. I opted on the pumpkin spice color because it is the color of Fall and thanksgiving. The style of this wrap dress also got me. It is flattering and the balloon sleeves are the best. It has always been my favorite sleeve style ever since it started being spotted on the fashion scene. Another favorite highlight of this look is the gold and black details. Those classic styles will always give justice to any outfit you will wear.
I am wishing all of you a Happy thanksgiving and always say I love you to all your love ones because based on my experience, life is so short. Always hug those special people around you and always be thankful for all the blessings. I believe there are more things to be thankful for than to complain about. Not here to give a sermon but just to give some friendly advice.
Thank you for stopping by and see you tomorrow for another post.

This is it my lovelies, the Holiday that we have all been waiting for. We have a lot to be thankful for… our family, friends, pretty much everything we just have to view the glass half full. I am so excited and really on the Holiday mode because some of our relatives from New York are coming over to celebrate with us. Not only it is Thanksgiving day but also my father in laws birthday. This is his first time celebrating it here in the US. I will also for the first time set a thanksgiving table. Honestly, I haven’t done this in our 8 years of living here in the US. We always go to a friends house and celebrate there. Since relatives are coming over and we are celebrating a birthday in the family. We have decided to do it here at home and also for our kids to experience it like how an American will celebrate it because they are born and raised here.
Okay enough of all the talk. I just wore this casual look to be comfortable moving around to shop, I did it early in the stores like Best Buy as I do not want to be in line and bumping with other shoppers. It was actually a lovely feeling shopping and early sales are already out. For all other shoppers who does not want to go to the actual store and loves to shop online. Below I have linked up all the sales event happening to all the stores that I shop at. I only added the ones who are having the sales starting today together with the codes to use.

FAUX LEATHER SKIRT/ BOOTS/ SWEATSHIRT SIMILAR HERE
Sweatshirt Outfit
This is my first style trying out a Faux leather skirt. The skirt is only $17 dollars, and the material is thin, to be honest, but I do love it because it still gives good coverage. I mean you can’t beat the price of it!
So this is the first style I created for a Fall Casual look. I just added this old sweatshirt I bought from Stradivarius when we were in Italy last time and just added those booties. You can also wear this for Work and also as a Thanksgiving outfit since we are just a week away.
If you are planning on wearing this outfit to work or for a business casual event, I recommend choosing a solid color sweater with a beautiful sweetheart neckline.

BLOUSE/ HANDBAG AFFORDABLE VERSION HERE/ SUEDE PUMPS SIMILAR HERE
Skirt And Blouse Outfit
This second look is more of a date night style for me. Loving the blouse and its sleeves and it just looks perfect for a lovely evening wine and dine with your loved one. Puff sleeves are great for adding a pop of texture to an otherwise subtle outfit. They also work with the tightness of the skirt to create a much more balanced look.
Just added a chic suede pumps to add more class to it. Along with my versatile gold jewellery and neutral handbag. I love this look because because it is very dynamic. Just change the blouse and it’s a completely different look.
SHOP THE POST:
BLAZER/ CAMISOLE/ PUMPS IN GIRAFFE PRINT SIMILAR HERE
Striped Blazer Outfit
This last look is for all the ladies who want to rock the office style. Thinking out of the box of your regular work wear try adding this Faux leather skirt and just add a blazer to it to make it look very professional and you are all set! Of course, you can not forget the pumps and jewellery either. Boss babe material for the win.
When you are styling this look, don’t be afraid to play with the print of your pumps. Here I styled this outfit with giraffe print heels and I love it. Also consider leopard and plaid to further spice up your look.
How to style a faux leather skirt:
Find the right faux leather skirt for you.
There are many different brands, styles, lengths, and qualities of faux leather skirts out there. Luckily, you do not need the most expensive to create a great look.
Before you purchase a new faux leather skirt, consider what you like in a good skirt. Things to consider include length, thickness, type of leather, whether or not it has a zipper or if it’s pull-on, and the shine.
Pick the right color.
Black, white, and tan faux leather skirts are very easy to style because they are neutral. I love my black leather skirt. You can create a full neutral look or you can create a neutral base with your skirt and add pop of color. You can add a pop of color with your blouse, pumps, jewellery or handbags.
Or, you can also choose a colored faux leather skirt. If you do, it will breathe life into your wardrobe and could quickly become a favorite staple item. Just make sure you have plenty of other clothes to match.
Tuck in your shirt.
Because faux leather skirts are similar to pencil skirts and usually tighter and slimming, you will want to tuck in your shirt to ensure your outfit remains balanced. Otherwise, you may look too baggy on top.
Wear leggings / tights if needed.
If you want to rock your faux leather skirt on a colder day, just wear tights or leggings. It will not throw off the look of your skirt and it will keep you much warmer. Add some cold weather accessories and a nice topcoat and your look is complete.
Mix up the textures.
To avoid wearing several different shades of leather (like with leather knee high boots) and to keep your look balanced and eye-catching remember to mix up your textures. Since you already have a leather skirt, opt for other textures to complete the look. Some examples include suede pumps, a tweed blazer, or a cashmere sweater.
No matter your body style, you can wear a leather skirt. Just remember to keep your outfit balanced by following my tips.

How To Plan A Holiday Party
SHOP THE LOOK:
How to plan a holiday party is one of the question that you might be having now. Holiday season is coming and Thanksgiving is just a few days away and then goes Christmas and New Year’s eve. Hosting a party is a great way to bring families and friends together. It can also be overwhelming. So I will be sharing some practical and realistic tips on how to plan a great Holiday Party.
How To Plan A Holiday Party
Setting the Date.
You have to choose a date that works best for everyone. Make sure to ask a poll on everybody’s availabilities to make sure your family and friends will be able to attend.
Also setting a budget
Make sure that you have a set budget and stick to it, as inflation is the current dilemma of a lot of people right now. Setting up a budget that won’t break a bank and that will better serve everyone is a must. Don’t stress yourself too much here. The most important part of a Holiday party is not how high your budget is but how everyone is getting along and merry!
Choosing a theme
For this coming Christmas party, my friends and I already came up with a theme. We agreed to dress up in something velvet. This brings some excitement to the upcoming party.
Making Guest list
If you are planning a big party then you might need to make sure to jot down everyone you are planning to invite. If it is just a small list you might just need to send everyone evite. Or what my family and friends do is do an invite on Facebook since most of us are on there and call or text the ones who are not on social media.
Finding a Venue
This shouldn’t be hard if you have a space in your house to host, or if one of your family or friends already volunteered their place. If you plan to do it on an event place or maybe a hotel ballroom, you have to make sure to book the place in advance to make sure you get the place you really wanted that works for everyone.
As for the food
You can create a menu and you can have it catered or if you have enough help you can cook and designate some tasks to some of your family and friends. Or what we normally do on the Holidays, we always make it a potluck. So everybody participates and the host is not so stressed out.
