Happy Thanksgiving week friends! If you are like me you are scurrying around early this week to get all your "to-do's" done so that you can kick back with friends and family later this week to celebrate, relax, eat more mashed potatoes than you (I) should and then start some holiday shopping! If you are also like me you are thinking... 'wait, what am I going to wear to Thanksgiving this year? And that holiday party next weekend and now that you mention it, I could really use some more festive pieces in my closet right now.' Who's with me? A week or so ago I polled my followers on Instagram stories to see what your holiday outfit "style" was this time of year. Are you dressy-dressy - like throw on a dress and some heels for holiday events? Or are you dressy-casual - like throw on a festive sweater, some gorgeous earrings and maybe another coat of mascara? And the response was pretty overwhelming. You gals like the dressy-casual outfits this time of year. Fun and festive outfits that are still practical and easy to wear. And my response to that was "girl, me too." I'm the same!
So today I am partnering with francesca's to get your wardrobe holiday-ready and whether you are in the strong majority of the dressy-casual lovers or if you go all out with dressy-dressy for the holiday season they have you covered too. francesca's is your go-to boutique store for those trendy and feminine pieces that your wardrobe craves for the holiday season. From beautiful sweaters (like this off the shoulder sweater), to bold earrings (love these tassels!) or the perfect party-ready accessory (like this velvet clutch!). You can shop francesca's unique selection online or they have hundred's of boutiques - so you will likely find one in your neighborhood. I just recently stopped in to our local francesca's and seriously it is the cutest boutique! Plus, they have the most amazing gift selection this time of year... read on to see all my amazing gift picks from francesca's too!

Okay now that you have inspiration for what you are wearing to your next holiday party (wink, wink!)... are you ready to talk gift giving!?!? If you have ever been into a francesca's you know they have the most darling selection of gifts - especially around the holidays. Below I rounded up my some of my favorites that I will definitely be giving this year to the loved ones on my list!
A cozy chenille sweater or a plaid blouse is always a good idea for gifting. A gorgeous necklace, fun bow earrings or a pom pom hat is perfect for the teens and tweens in your life. My nieces would love these bath bombs and a set of bow scrunchies and for the white elephant gift exchange you can't go wrong with a Corkcicle tumbler or a beautiful candle. Your office mate at work is guaranteed to love this cute pen set and faux fur cuffed gloves. And for your sister that has everything a velvet clutch, tassel earrings or a cozy puffer vest is the perfect gift she never knew she wanted!
