joyfully so

This time of year I cannot get enough of fair isle sweaters! When I put them on in the morning they start off my day in the best mood. I think since fair isle prints are styles that I only wear for a few months out of the year, I really embrace and appreciate the days I wear fair isle cozy winter knits! Since they have been winter trending over multiple decades, I love the classic style mixed with a little prep and a hint of French après ski flair. But more that anything, I am a big supporter of investing in pieces that bring you joy – and these do just that! Here are two of my current fair isle sweaters that I am wearing on repeat, and a few other popular fair isle finds.

Maybe it’s the holiday lights or the Christmas music, but I am feeling fancy today! Y’all this dress is a STUNNER! Sharing this gorgeous dress that qualifies for extra gifts with purchase, plus a little weekend recap today!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We just returned after a hometown visit back to St. Louis. This year we divided up the Thanksgiving dinner responsibilities, so Michael and I took on making a pasta dish filled with cheeses, pumpkin and sage, as well as sweet potatoes. I used Pioneer Woman’s sweet potato recipe with half of the amazing, crumbly topping and it turned out perfect! Just the right amount of sweetness. Between cooking and playing with my nephews, we also managed to squeeze in some football! 

I cannot believe Thanksgiving week is officially here! Dallas is a beautiful blend of colorful fall leaves mixed with early Christmas decorations. With all the fun Thanksgiving and Christmas spirit around us, this llama sweater is the perfect way to ring in the season!
