Leopard Cardi

Keeping it Local

Thursday, November 29, 2018 3:30 AM


Can you believe Thanksgiving was a week ago!!
I absolutely love the holiday season, but I am not going to lie I was super stressed last weekend. 
The stress of Christmas itself, having all of my weekends filled up and feeling like the clock is ticking down to the big day.  Also, the stress of feeling obligated to get all of your shopping done on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  At one point, those two days did offer crazier deal than usual, but now these same deals stick around for.  

I refer you to my Black Friday & Cyber Monday post
Most of these sales are still going on. 

I clearly love shopping all year round, but this time of year, it really gets me in the holiday spirit. 
I am especially partial to small businesses and boutiques where you can get unique and thoughtful pieces.  
I drive by this adorable store all the time and always make a mental note that I need to stop one day, over the weekend was that day. 




 



With two locations just outside of the city in Brookline and Dedham,  Boston General Store  offers the coolest and most fun, clothes, trinkets, dry goods, accessories and unique items with a vintage/retro feel. If you live in the Boston area, definitely visit one of the stores, otherwise check out the website and shop local and small business!

Have a wonderful weekend!

xx, Elise

  5. Your dog is so cute and the leopard print cardi is so fun! :) I often try to get my shopping done before December - and I've finished mine already - so I can relax and enjoy Christmas, it's much easier that way. It does mean I didn't get anything int he sales though as I had my gifts already bought! :)

    Hope that you are having a great week :) It's feeling like summer here, we are in the middle of a heatwave!

  11. Thanksgiving so close to Christmas sounds fun, but also stressful! We celebrate in October here in Canada. I like how your pooch matches your cute sweater!

  13. Yes to local! And I'm dying over this outfit and these shots. You look stunning. I think I need that cardigan, but though we had a couple of days in the 40s here, today we are back to 80 in sunny Florida. I'll get it figured out!

  14. What stresses me out is the fact that everyone keeps telling me they are finished shopping! It's only December 1st! By that standard, I'm way behind... Love this cute post and OF COURSE that cute pup!!

  21. Ah yes although fun and joyful the holidays can also be stressful. I feel this way about Fashion Week. That general store looks soooo nice, I love stores like this. And that long cardi is super fun and looks excellent on you.
