LE CATCH

There’s a certain luxury to Thanksgiving—whether you’re the one orchestrating the whole delicious production or simply showing up with an eager appetite. I genuinely love this holiday no matter what side of the kitchen island I’m on, because it always circles back to one thing: gratitude. A big, beautiful, overflowing gratitude circle—from my table to yours. Today, in between baking pies and making stuffing, I’ll be popping into the Black Friday sales here and here—because it would be downright silly not to dig in. I will show you one of my latest niece-approved Chloe scores in an IG Story later, however, I am now tempted by this non-sale piece. Please count on me soaking up LA's 70-degree-plus sunshine with family and friends, and exercising it all off on Friday morning with this Pvolve gadget (already obsessed and will gift one to my sis). Meanwhile, I’ve already started prepping my hair—not just for Thanksgiving, but for the foreseeable future with this IYKYK routine. One more thing: For those who eagle-eyed my new engraved Shylee Rose heart necklace, in the photo below, and inquired about a discount code, it is BF15. You can find my brown cashmere perfection here. Wishing you a warm, joyful, gratitude-filled holiday—no matter what side of the island you’re on.

Running around in the midst of pre-Thanksgiving chaos whittles down to two things: (1) I have zero traffic tolerance left, and (2) my clothes must do all the work. Luckily, the easy things—great tees, throw-on blazers, well-fitting jeans and shoes for 10,000 stylish steps. And let’s be honest: a miracle-working concealer to hide the fatigue doesn’t hurt either. I love clothes that magically make me look like I had a plan and layering that turns errands into… slightly chicer errands (recent high-performers for me: the $88 J.Crew button-down, below, these, and this). It’s low-lift dressing with a high return, which is basically the only math I do this week (okay, and computing this Black Friday Edit, too!). P.S. Other things making life feel good right now: new cookware that somehow makes roasted tomatoes taste (and look) like something out of a trattoria (see proof on my IG Stories), and my 16-year-old niece staying with me and “borrowing” things from my closet (this and this) and vanity (this!). The unspoken validation? I’ll take it all, thank you very much!

It’s officially sale season—and some of the best ones, in my opinion, kicked off today (here, here, and here). But this day also marks my version of a closet sale, just with the blessed access of the internet: the pieces I’ve traveled with, worn on repeat, plus the chosen items Coco always tries to “borrow indefinitely” are now up for grabs at steep discounts, including (all below) the jeans I wear pretty much every day (that are now priced under $100!), my go-to ballet slippers, the Doen bandana blouse (actually so much discounted Doen), the Tory Burch dress bags and shoes (Staud boots also on sale!), my "Everything Shirt" by Sold Out NYC and studded belt (and jeans again!), these made-for-walking low-heeled Le Monde Beryl boots (that I wore non-stop in NYC), and this by Aligne barn coat (it looks suede!). Decadent yet on sale desirables I'd LOVE to add to my closet: this Givenchy LBD, this Isabel Marant trench, this Burberry fringed scarf jacket, this barn coat by The Great and this stunning Rabanne bag. P.S. The assortment of primo designer bags on sale on My Theresa is OH MY! Saks is also staging a robust sale (crazy amount of Chloe and Ulla Johnson). And, how can we skip Amazon and the plethora of no-brainer gifts?! Seriously, it would be silly not to shop today. Just saying...

I get asked almost every single day about my Adina Reyter necklaces — truly! People stop me to ask where they’re from, how I layer them, and I’m constantly getting compliments. I love mixing things up with different charms, pops of color, beads, and sparkle to constantly create fresh combinations. And right now they’re all on sale (20% off at checkout), which rarely happens (like, once a year). It’s such a good chance to invest in pieces you'll genuinely wear nonstop and keep forever. Here are some of my favorite stacks--including my stay-on lariat and charms (this, this, and this). There is limited inventory, just FYI! Shop the Black Friday sale here!

People! In case you haven't noticed Black Friday has officially moved to the Friday before Thanksgiving. Read: TODAY! I’m calling it Pre-Game Friday. Perfect for warming up shopping muscles--and giving thanks for the deals ahead of tackling the feast! To save you scrolling time, here are some highlights: Amazon (duh) is deep into 20% off mode, which means early scores for my boys (this) along with Thanksgiving prep upgrades (this), and, oh, a little something for me (cool dupes, below). A Piece Apart is 30% off sitewide, which means the cutest, chicest knits, above and below (P.S. Procured BOTH!) Asos is also serving up almost ridiculous steals: like the tie-waist sweater for $42 (use the code LAYERS), this pinstripe coat and the funnel-neck long-line teddy (pictured). Then there's Margaux and Madewell (I'm sporting both, below). The Madewell black patent flats look very Alaia--but are 40% off-along with the straight-leg jeans I have in every shade and pretty much wear every day. Speaking of jeans, The Outnet has tons of denim at just over $100 bucks (yes, please). Pistola coming in hot with bestselling jeans on sale, too, with Aureum belts (up to 75% off!) and cuties (brown blouse, below) from Sandro to go with. Need a holiday party dress? Got you covered here. Personally, I'd like to wrap myself up in a wool Schoolhouse blanket (25% off), curl on the sofa (or down here) and shop this Pre-Game Friday before the holiday frenzy truly begins!

A few sequins on a friend’s TWP shirt collar caught my eye earlier this week at a dinner party. It was a little thing (P.S. I own the same shirt in not one, but three colors!), but it sums up the season perfectly: shine where you can, add your sparkle, and never underestimate the power of a small, joyful detail. I love TWP's new holiday line-up, rife with feathers, sheer sexiness, and, yes, more sequins, and how these pieces are also genuinely easy to wear. Also noteworthy: Jacques Wei's sparkly (day to night) sweater, an outfit-punctuating necklace from Zara (just bought, bound to sell out by EOD), and Monica Vinader's flash sale bezel diamonds (so much here that's half off!).

This morning a friend sent me a photo from Sun Valley, where snow is falling (9 inches blanketed the top of Baldy last night!) with an open invite to visit. It had me immediately taking stock of what I'd pack (this new fleece), how I'd stay stylishly warm--and reminded me that I need to replace my base layers ASAP. So the timing couldn’t be better, because I somehow ended up with an exclusive 30% off Early Access code for Anthropologie from 11/20–11/23, so I can snap up the cute leggings, above. Not trying to be dramatic, but it really is their biggest sale of the year, and this Early Access version is actually better than the public Cyber Sale that starts 11/24. Also if you spend $200+ you get $50 back on 12/11 to use for holiday gifting through 12/25. So, basically: if there’s something you’ve been eyeing or gifts you already have in mind, this window is the sweet spot to save. Below are a few favorites: the faux fur double-breasted Maeve jacket (which is scheduled to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow!), the reversible patent chore jacket and even some pretty bud vases for the Thanksgiving table! Use my code MARLIEN30, because it's good not to share!

Showed up to a party last night unintentionally twinning with one of my best friends—same impeccably sharp-shouldered blazer, different color (sale options here and here). And honestly? Not a “who wore it best” moment, but a “great minds think alike” one. To me, matching silhouettes isn’t a fashion faux pas—it’s a sign we’re dialed into the same wavelength, gravitating toward what feels timeless, polished, and completely comfortable. And blazers were everywhere last night, but none of them were average. Think unexpected textures (like the embroidered velvet Rixo, above, or this borg Aligne, which I've been wearing non-stop), cinched waists (love this Cos with this J.Crew chain belt, similar to below, or this Aureum on super sale!, along with the charm-accented Roxanne Assoulin), clever cuts (see Cos and bow-trimmed Sandro and Tuckernuck, $148!, all below)—proof that the blazer boom is alive and thriving.

Like everyone else in LA, the rain had me completely off the rails. A strong storm and suddenly I’m dressing like I live in Iceland instead of a city where winter tops out at 50 degrees. But honestly? I loved every soggy second of it—because true sweater weather here is rare. So, of course, I wanted to change my sweater not once, not twice, but three times yesterday—just to take advantage of every chilly hour. Below, a few of the sweaters I was thrilled to finally unveil, including the Alex Mill men's stripes, the layered Cos (the high-neck is sooo good and toasty!) and embellished Zara—and a couple more I’m hoping the next wave of drizzle gives me an excuse to slip into: the layered Peche, this crochet Farm Rio, the funnel-neck CO and the belted Modern Citizen. Another sweater storm is poised to hit LA on Thursday, so be prepared! (P.S. I am busting out new statement belts too, pictured!)
