Friday, October 5, 2012 at 8:30AM An Ann Taylor Toronto Giveaway
Just wrapped up a whirlwind week filled with interviews, previews and parties. Now, I'm rolling home on my early morning VIA train as I consider the day ahead; deadlines loom, big, fat turkey awaits and I fully expect a domestic explosion (of the housekeeping kind) when I return. Oh, and the pies. The fam will freak if I don't make pumpkin pies. I'm actually thinking pumpkin whoopie pies this year. Cray-cray?
Please give this blogger a day pass and in place of a proper post, accept this blinged out bangle from last night's Ann Taylor party as my sparkly apology? Ann Taylor, in case you haven't heard, opens at Toronto Eaton Centre today but I got a sneak peek at last night's media launch. Gorgeous store, so many pretty pieces (and people) and the best part? They're actually price-matching the US. Hallelujah! #lessonlearned
Oh and speaking of J.Crew, the amazing new Eaton Centre store opened yesterday as well, with Toronto's first ever men's shop. Check back soon for all of my party pics from the week and more gift bag giveaways.
To win the Ann Taylor Brooch Cuff (one of Kate Hudson's fall faves), tell me your favourite part of Thanksgiving - be it an experience, a family tradition or a yummy recipe you can't be without (help! need inspiration). I'll announce the winner at 5 pm today!
Gobble, gobble, happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend to you!

I don't set aside the holiday but try to be thankful all year long and show it! Being with family any time of year is my favorite part!
My fav part of thanksgiving is seeing all my family...cheesy right??? Lol I just love that this holiday kicks off family season (since Christmas is right around the corner :)) but I must say I LOVE the pumpkin pie and beautiful fall coulours as close second and thirds :)
Besides spending time with my family and being thankful for everything I am so lucky to have, my favourite part of Thanksgiving is spending the day making turkey dinner with my mom (a tradition since I was a little girl), and always baking a new dessert recipe (the only thing that ever changes for our holiday dinners!) This year, I am going to try mini pumpkin pies!
Pumpkin pie! Oh and leftover turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce & stuffing. Yum!
Happy Thanksgiving! (and great news about the price matching).
My favourite part of Thanksgiving is the Turkey and gravy. I'm one of the few who doesn't mind Thanksgiving leftovers for days! Thanks for the great contest.
The food of course - and the leftovers - and spending quality time with family members.
Feeling grateful even after a mind blowingly tough year......time with my boys;) Happy thanks giving!
I love spending Thanksgiving at the cottage! So beautiful!
I can't have my Thanksgiving turkey without my cranberry-sour cherry sauce. It's so delicious!
At Thanksgiving dinner, we go around the entire table and say one thing we're thankful for. It's an amazing opportunity to share a little love with my parents, my sisters, my kids and everyone!
