Nostalgic for Home

I’ve always been a white and gold type of girl, but lately I’ve been finding that I’m gravitating more and more toward silver..

As LA weather finally dips below 70 degrees and Starbucks brings back pumpkin spice,  the holiday spirit is definitely drawing closer and closer. My family takes Thanksgiving very seriously and growing up in Danville, I really looked forward to my mom’s cooking for our big holiday feast. We would always have a big turkey and all the fixings.. stuffing, mash potatoes, pie.. We always have a very traditional thanksgiving and it’s so yummy. As you guys may know from following my mom on instagram, her cooking is really amazing! My favorite dish from her is pumpkin pie, yum. (All the desserts my mom makes is soooo delicious.) Danville also gets incredibly beautiful this time of year because it’s so lush green up north, but all the trees turn color and it’s a gorgeous mess of orange and yellow! That’s why I’m really sad this holiday that I won’t be able to fly up north to spend it with my family.

Now that I’m in my third trimester, unfortunately I’m not flying anymore. (Discomfort and in case I go into labor!) And with my ever-growing bump, sitting for the 6 hour drive up north is just too uncomfortable. I’m excited to spend thanksgiving in LA this Fall but I’ll be missing my the traditional Lim family dinner! (Xoxo to my family if you’re reading this.)

And in the spirit of nostalgia and longing, check out PANDORA’s  winter collection based on this holiday longing! I love how sophisticated their jewel encrusted rings and necklaces are, but also that it carries a sense of familiarity. Almost like I’ve had these rings all my life. I usually gravitate toward gold but I kept my wedding ring and band silver because there’s something very modern and sleek about silver. If you guys are holiday shopping for your best girlfriends or mom, I’d definitely recommend a timeliness PANDORA piece this season!
