Happy Friday! This week has been pretty packed trying to film, edit and schedule a few videos and blog posts for while Jason and I are out of town. I don’t know if I’ve shared it on here yet, but we’re spending the holidays in Costa Rica and The Cape and I’m so excited! I’m also trying to wrap my head around what and how to pack for each trip and the different weather extremes - 90 and sunny followed by 30 and snowy. Anyway, despite the busier than usual schedule we made some time to try a new restaurant here in Charleston called Le Farfalle and it was amazing! Everything from the decor to the service to the food was out of this world and I can’t believe we’d never been before. Also this week we set up our Christmas tree and some easy decorations that I’ll be sharing in a video soon. In the meantime, here are a few of the things that I’ve enjoyed or taken note of this week.

NEW SUEDE BOOTS ON THE SCENE | First up, Charleston-based brand Thelma recently relaunched their website and released new suede ankle boots and both are incredible. I’ve had a pair of Thelma’s classic loafers on my wish list for quite a while now and can’t wait for the impossibly chic and classic cappuccino color to be restocked in my size.

CHIC FRENCH FRAGRANCE | I was recently introduced to a beautiful new French fragrance brand by Sylvaine Delacourte who has created more than 70 perfumes for Guerlain including L'Instant, Insolence but also the Exclusive Collection. It’s definitely worth taking a peak and potentially ordering the $5 discovery kit if you’re on the hunt for a new fragrance.

NEW JULIANNE MOORE MOVIE | Julianne Moore is one of my favorite actresses and I’m continually impressed by her performances and her newest movie looks like it will be no different.

GREAT XMAS AD | One of my favorite parts of the holiday season are the heartwarming commercials that tug at your heart strings and this commercial is a perfect example of this.
