Happy Thanksgiving Monday! (for Canadians)

Today is my turkey day! Well it is actually Cornish game hen day, but same idea, just on a smaller scale. I would love to have turkey, but that bird is just too darn big for one person, and getting a turkey breast is just not the same. On the menu tonight will be the little bird, asparagus, and saffron-onion risotto I think. I have never made a game hen before but I found a recipe that uses rosemary and lemon, so it looks promising.

In honour of the fall holiday, this skirt seemed very fitting. I don't wear it very often, mostly because I am stuck on how to wear it, but I am liking how this combination turned out. How do you incorporate pieces that you don't reach for very often? Go out and buy something that matches, or just make it work? I know you should not buy things without having them go with what you already have, which I do, just grew out of the other things that went with this skirt.

Kimchi Blue ivory ruffled vest
Anthropologie maru sash
Anthropologie "road-not-taken" boots

Side view of the boots, I have serious love for the detailing on these, who cares if I look slightly crazy-cat lady with the mixing.




Close-up of the boots. These are one of my best deals ever on footwear. Original price was $278. Found online through an old catalog link for $20! Oh shoe deities rejoice! Came in perfect condition, made by Lucky Penny, very comfortable!

I hope everyone is having a great long-weekend (or a regular weekend), full of yummy food, friends, and family.
