CTL Weekly 10.25

I have a couple of holiday clothing items from J. Crew Factory and it’s such fun to pull them out every December so I was excited to see that this year’s holiday items have hit their site (and everything is 40% off this weekend).

I’m adding this red sweatshirt with sparkly buttons and a tartan button placket to my collection this year. Here are a few more of my favorites:

• Tartan ruffle collar pullover
• Velvet rhinestone mules
• Cable crewneck sweater (100% cotton, also comes in natural)
• Striped cotton poplin PJ set
• Plaid straight leg pant (also comes in lots of solids)
• Tartan rhinestone mules
• Tartan bow mules
• Velvet loafers (also come in black and burgundy)
• Jeweled button-neck pullover sweatshirt (also comes in black)

Here’s more of what I saved to share with you this week…

A renovated ranch house on Long Island. From the article: “It was a quiet ranch house, with zero design,” probably built in the 1970s from a catalog, Ms. Reed said. She bought the 1,400-square-foot home for $450,000 and began visiting every weekend she could. My note: don’t miss the library!

Speaking of ranches, here’s a real estate listing that my equally house-obsessed friend Kathleen sent me. It’s a typical suburban home in our area but it’s BIG on style. P.S. Look for the dog artwork in the kitchen.

If you’re in the mood for a light Halloween read, this looks like a fun one.

How to host a one-hundred-family tailgate. We’ve been tailgating with friends for 10+ years and some of our tailgates get pretty big but the SEC is on another level.

Last Friday night I started Nobody Wants This at 9 PM and told Tom I was just going to watch a couple of episodes. Five hours later I had finished all ten episodes. Needless to say, I was happy when I learned that it had been renewed for season 2. Here’s what we know so far.

Shrinking is also back for season 2. Tom and I both loved the first season.

Fall items to look for at Costco, Aldi, and Trader Joe’s.
