My favorite must-haves from the Black Friday sales and deals this Thanksgiving weekend:

Wearing: burgundy earrings / MAC Lipstick / blanket scarf (old, similar here) / black long-sleeve tee / jeans / Chloe Kurtis / Diorific Golden nail polish / drusy ring / cozy booties
Do you have a fall go-to outfit? This is my current, fall go-to outfit. When I want to be cozy and comfortable, I reach for this pair of jeans, this long-sleeve tee, these cozy booties, and this blanket scarf in order to stay warm, comfortable, and to appear put together.
These photos were taken during a recent vacation to the Lake Tahoe area. I wore this outfit on Veteran’s Day. We took the kids into Nevada to Virginia City in order to visit the Silver Mine. You can read about fun things to do during the off-season in Lake Tahoe in my travel guide online here.
Virginia City was really fun on Veteran’s Day. They had a parade, and the town was decked out with patriotic decorations. There were a lot of people in town for the parade and events, so it was crowded with a festive vibe. It was so much fun!
After the parade, we took the kids to DanCin Crystal Company where they enjoyed panning for crystals that had been mined throughout Nevada. The owner of the store was extremely knowledgeable and told us about the crystals, as well as several fossils she had on display, and in stock. The kids loved it, and I learned quite a bit too!
My kids loved visiting the Silver Mine last time we were in Virginia City, so after panning for crystals, we took them over to the Ponderosa Mine Tour. This is a great silver mine tour which is interesting, entertaining, and educational. Love that!
Of course we enjoyed pizza for lunch, and ended the day with ice cream cones. If you are looking for a fun day trip, definitely head over to Virginia City in Nevada. You will enjoy it!
XOXO
