Hey guys!  Welcome back.  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed a long weekend.  Since it’s officially Christmas season my siblings and I celebrated with some tree hunting and holiday decorating (and photo shoots, of course).

Whether you purchase a real tree or break out your artificial one every year, a trip to a Christmas tree farm (or nursery) is a great activity to kickstart the holiday season.  I love the fresh smell of pine surrounding me and the overwhelming sight of dozens of trees in one place.  There is really nothing quite like sharing this event with your loved ones!

Bad things happen when I walk into Target.  I go in for toothpaste and walk out at least fifty dollars poorer practically every time.  When I went to get these darling Adam Lippes for Target pumps I walked by this vest and instantly grabbed it off of the shelf.  It’s perfectly on trend for fall, incredibly cozy, and only $35.  Sold?  Yeah, so was I.

In other fun news, today is my last day being 23!  It still feels sort of surreal.  24 is pretty much full-fledged mid-twenties, so I feel like I can no longer use the ‘well, I’m 23’ excuse for everything like I have been.  I definitely thought I would have my life a little more together by 24, but I never knew I would have found a hobby that I love as much as I love blogging.  So whether this is your first visit to The Sol Compass or you’ve been reading for the past year since I started, I want to thank you all from the very bottom of my heart for making this blog a possibility and a very real ray of sunshine into my every day life!
