I hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving, however you celebrated. We ended up getting the meal catered this year, and it was absolutely the right choice – so nice to have that stress taken away! It was delicious and we did still have some homemade desserts to round out the meal, too. It was a great day, all in all.

If you’re doing shopping today, don’t forget to check out my post from yesterday with the roundup of Black Friday deals! And now, on to the favorites.

On Success

Grace shared this last week, and it was something that really resonated with me so I wanted to share with all of you, too. The notion that success isn’t just one thing – and that your own success might look different than you imagined – is something that’s so important to keep in mind.

tick, tick… Boom! Scene Breakdown

If you haven’t watched tick, tick… Boom! yet, you absolutely should. It’s such a well-crafted movie musical. And then after you’ve watched it, come back and watch this breakdown of the party scene. I love seeing how much thoughtful detail went into it!

Long Sleeved Smocked Dress

I’m trying not to go too wild with my Black Friday shopping, but I did pick up this long sleeved smocked midi dress. I obviously love all things smocked, and I love the long sleeves and wool blend fabric of the dress, too. Don’t forget to use the code OHJOY for 30% off.

Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts

I know that J.K. Rowling is problematic (I do not agree with her views on trans people!), but Harry Potter was such a huge part of my life growing up that it still holds such a special place in my heart. When we were in New York, we had a Harry Potter marathon on TV while we were in the room! So I’m excited to watch the original cast reunite and film this Return to Hogwarts special.

Plaid Puff Sleeve Dress

This dress is so cute and would make such a great dress for the holiday season! I really love the puff sleeves – it’s such a fun extra little detail. And it’s 40% off right now, which is a great deal.
