The past four days were absolutely wonderful, filled with good food, long walks, seeing friends, taking photographs and more good food. I was lucky enough to collaborate with some very talented people on a project all day Friday, which I will share with you soon, then just enjoyed the city with A on Saturday and Sunday.

{Can you see my side chignon! I tried it out based on this tutorial and it is officially my new favorite hairstyle.}

On Thursday night, A and I went to a little restaurant in my neighborhood that had exposed brick, yummy wine and stuffing that came out in the shape of a brick. Since the place was so close to my apartment, we were on the early side, so we took a little walk and shot some photos in the quiet evening. No one was around and it was extremely peaceful. I love that the majority of the shots aren’t entirely clear and have a warm glow to them. I hope you all had a lovely holiday, and happy Monday! xoxo

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies! What are your holiday plans? This will be the first Thanksgiving ever that I won’t be with my family in Seattle, but luckily my best friend and her boyfriend are hosting a lovely meal at their apartment this year. So, tomorrow I will be hanging out with friends, sipping wine, munching on olives and cheese and taking lots of photos of all the yummy dishes Allie prepared. Check back on Friday to see all the fun photos!

What are you up to on this yummy holiday? I found this great photograph on Webshots Blog asking readers to complete this sentence… “Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without…” The winner said, “Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without…thinking of the past, looking to the future,” and posted a link to a family photo from the 1940s. I love thinking about past Thanksgivings and looking forward to all the ones to come.

I spent most of yesterday flying home to Seattle. I feel so thankful and lucky to be able to be here with my loved ones. So, for the next handful of days I am going to try and take a break from my beloved computer and blog to eat some turkey, read by the fire and spend time with my family. I hope you all have a lovely holiday!
