Links I Love: November Week 4

For the Thanksgiving Holiday, I have been down in Florida with my family. I helped out with cooking for Thanksgiving and I made this Chocolate Flourless Cake which was a huge hit. Saturday morning, my niece woke me up around 8 am announcing they made me breakfast for “Auntie Appreciation Day” when I asked her what was for breakfast she said there were “sandwiches and WINE” I am not sure what I am teaching her but, maybe she confused wine with coffee?! It was the joke of the day with the family. We had a full day but, we still made cookies until bedtime. I leave on Tuesday so I am trying to squeeze in as much kid time as possible.

What Stores are Open in Paris on a Sunday

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales are on. These are some of my favorite items on sale and what I have purchased this weekend. 

I use my Nespresso every morning and this one is on sale for only $99 if you are looking to buy one this is the time to buy one.

For the dance/ studio these are on my wish list from Alo Yoga

My favorite Gold Mirror from Anthropologie is only $298 and that is a lot less than I paid. If you have your eye on it, snatch it up before the sale price is finished. 

A few things I purchased this weekend with the sales, I got this adorable JCrew Oui/Non Sweatshirt which I included in the gift guide. They are running 40% off so I snatched up this sweater and sweater dress before it sold out. This sweater was not on sale but I couldn’t pass up the red color and the bow!
