Thanksgiving this year in the states falls on the latest possible date it could possibly fall; however, I don't know about you, but it still seems to be arriving rather quickly. All of a sudden Christmas is five weeks away and I haven't even begun my holiday shopping. Well, thankfully the savings opportunities are about to begin, as early as next Monday in fact.  And I'm excited to share with you the annual Simply Luxurious Life Holiday Gift Guide to hopefully offer some gifts that would be perfect for those on your list. 

On Tuesday (November 26th) the gift guide will be revealed, as well as a giveaway for you - the Santas doing all of the shopping. As newsletter subscribers, you now have the early exclusive heads up on both of these opportunities. I do hope you'll stop by.  

Also, on Wednesday, I will share with you all of the sales, discounts and Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping codes you will want to know before you head out for the busy shopping weekend. 

And since we're on the topic of shopping, if you are going to be doing some of your holiday shopping online this season or at any time throughout the year, take a look at the readers' favorite post this week - Why Not  . . . Shop Online? With tips on how to make your online shopping experience successful and fruitful without breaking the bank. You'll find ways to save money that perhaps you didn't know about, and be sure to check the comments, as readers shared some fantastic ideas as well. 

Even though the season has quickly arrived, the cozy atmosphere it brings always excites me - the time with family, the delicious food, and of course, having the opportunity to slow down and just be grateful for all that is going well.

If you too are celebrating Thanksgiving next week, I hope you have a wonderful time coming together, engaging in jovial conversation and delighting in scrumptious food and drink. And for everyone else, enjoy this last full weekend of November - stay warm, and enjoy gradually dipping your toes into this festive time of year. And until next week, I'll see you on the blog.

Splurge & Save Outfit: No. 34

With yesterday's today's Style Inspiration post as my muse, I've been on the hunt for a black and white sweater similar to one of the street style images included in the post.  And as I was perusing The Outnet , I found exactly what I was looking for. Duffy's chunky knit sweater is fun, warm and an easy staple to pair with a pop of color. In today's Splurge & Save Outfit, I was on the hunt for a beautiful bright pair of Manolo's, and I fell for these pair immediately. Shoes really do finish an outfit, so don't worry about an unlimited wardrobe, so long as you have quality, statement making shoes and classic wardrobe essentials, your outfits are certain to look chic and stylish.

And today's Save Outfit has some additional savings available you might want to take advantage of. Through the end of the day Friday (Nov. 22), all full priced items at Banana Republic  can be reduced by 30% with promo code BRDRESSED, so be sure to begin stocking on on fall favorites that you've been patiently waiting for.
