One of the best gifts I have received in recent years were two Burberry quilted jackets from my mom. She got me a classic tan and a metallic silver during my freshman year at Georgetown. It was such a thoughtful gift and definitely one of the more luxurious ones! I’m a big fan of practical gifts… like when I asked my parents for a Cox Box– Google it– for my eighteenth birthday so I could have my own for crew practices…. however, there is something extra special about getting something so glamorous that I wouldn’t dream of buying myself. I still have and wear the jackets and always feel so special when I wear them. (Plus, because I live far away, it feels like a little hug from my mom every time I put one on!)
I think Burberry makes for an extra special, not-your-everyday gift! They have great options for men, women, and children. (If you have a little girl, how cute is this!!!)
A great idea is one of the Burberry scarves. I thought this option was perfect. It’s not quite the traditional plaid, but still has that Burberry check! It is so soft and I love how extra long it is. Talk about cozy. The scarf would also work as a gorgeous shawl if tied around your shoulders!
I’ve always thought Ivanka Trump shoes were amazing, but these totally take the cake. Talk about perfect for the holidays.
I have a burberry quilted jacket that I love. There are always great deals on a few burberry things during the annual sale too and the things that I've scooped up I find myself wearing again and again! I have the ballet flats and a trench too that is perfect for the british weather here in London!
Ok, this is by far one of your best outfit posts Carly! Everything about it just works! Also, I love the fact that you asked for a cox box for your birthday; it is so much nicer to have your own and know that it's charged up and ready to go
You look so gorgeous! I ended up finding the black drop-waist dress on J. Crew Factory and I'm crossing my fingers it gets here in time for tomorrow's festivities 🙂 Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
This is gorgeous! They are such simple pieces and make such a statement. Love how you used a non-traditional Burberry colour scheme! Also you should use the second shot as a new headshot – it is very beautiful 🙂 Thanks for the holiday inspiration! undergradgoods.blogspot.ca
This outfit is gorgeous! I love the Burberry scarf and those red heels! What a way to add a pop of colour into your outfit! xoxo, Suehey http://landssunshinestate.blogspot.com/
This look is still just as gorgeous and classic today–2 years later! I can’t believe it was really that long ago when you came out with this post. I had only been reading for about a year at that point.
I know this post is primarily about Burberry, but those red pumps are killer on you! Uber sexy. *Love* the last pic… I’m betting the cabbie didn’t mind waiting as you crossed the road! 🙂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy. Eligible new subscribers can sign up for a one month free trial of #Audible Premium Plus anytime! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!

#ZarbeesPartner I love putting together thoughtful gifts for new moms and their families. Especially as the seasons change, having the right products helps everyone feel prepared and at ease. You can never predict when your household will get hit by a cold or flu so I always recommend having trusted products on hand so you’re never left in a pinch. For this gift, I included our go-to @zarbees Baby Daytime & Nighttime Cough Syrup + Immune. Made with organic agave to soothe baby’s dry throat and zinc to support their immune system, it’s safe for little ones 6 months and older. The nighttime formula even has chamomile to calm and comfort before bedtime—a must-have for peaceful nights 💛 Be prepared and order on @amazon.

Your Mom bought you two $600 coats? That's insanity. Cute scarf though.
