The other day my parents, twin sister and I had a fabulous day of shopping, great food, and fun memories! We started off the afternoon at Whole Foods for lunch. Do ya'll ever eat there? I swear I could eat at that place every single day and never get tired of it. Countless choices are gluten free, you have variety in everything from asian salads to italian meatloaf, and you can mix and match whatever you want. Not only that, but their coffee and smoothies are great too! 

After lunch we made our way to one of my favorite Charlotte hangouts... the mall, of course! I had been eyeing this patriotic scarf for a while now, and fortunately for me I snatched up the last one they had out on display! We had such a great time listening to holiday music on the loud speakers, spying kids sitting on Santa's lap, and seeing everyone out enjoying their weekend. I love this time of year!

Here's how I styled my new stars and stripes...
Top, Express. Boots, Steve Madden. Scarf, Fiore. Denim, Forever 21. Glasses, Urban Outfitters.

Also, yesterday my boyfriend and I were discussing our Christmas gifts and I came up with a new idea for giving back this season... for every one clothing item that I receive, I am going to donate two in return. I think it'll be a great way to give back to people in need while getting rid of items that I just don't utilize anymore. It'll be a happy holiday all around!

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was awesome! Plenty of delicious food, pajamas, and lazy afternoons. I have so, so much to be thankful for! A loving family, an amazing boyfriend, a roof over my head, freedom, great friends, safety, clean clothes, home cooked meals, hot water... the list goes on and on! Aren't we blessed?

One thing that I want to focus on this holiday season is the fact that I wouldn't have anything if God didn't give it to me. He gives and he takes away, and he is so generous! I hate to break it to you...but you don't actually "own" anything that you have! Nope, it's really not yours. He provided it! Isn't that a crazy perspective for Christmas time? We're really lucky, you guys! So over the next few weeks I want to give more than I get! I want to help people have an amazing holiday, and I want to focus on the real "reason for the season!"

Here are some pictures from my family time & Thanksgiving feast...

Doesn't that look like fun? Relaxing with my friends and family is always the perfect recipe for happiness! What do you have to be thankful for and what are your ideas for giving back? I would love some suggestions!

Also, here's a quick preview of my patriotic street style post coming tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Thankful.
