Carmel! I have so many nostalgic memories from over the years in this sweet beach town. We usually come every December but have missed the past couple years and it dawned on me yesterday while walking the streets with Rex and Willow that the last time I was here I was newly pregnant with Willow. (Willow says she remembers being here!)
So it’s extra special to be back as a family of four.
This weekend we stayed at Carmel Valley Ranch which was so great for R & W. With acres to run and all of the animals (Willow was in heaven visiting the horses) they have had an absolute blast.

I wasn’t on my phone much this weekend which is always a nice break for me –– but I know a lot of you have been asking me about Black Friday sales! So re: the sales I’ve been tracking –– 1. Khaite’s 40% off (on select items with code: PREMIER). I ordered these in black suede (just so classic!) which I’m excited to wear with tights this holiday season. Also, ordered these riding boots in brown to try. Khaite’s boots and bags are so worth the splurge for me especially when on sale. The quality of the leather / suede is just so beautiful. Another sale that is exciting me, 2. Mytheresa’s 40% off Sale which, hot tip is going to get even better Monday afternoon (I’ll share some favorite finds with you soon… including my Khaite bags). Also really great right now especially for gifting, 3. J.Crew 50% Off. 4. Dôen’s Giving Thanks Sale! and 5. Jenni Kayne is 25% off (code: ALICIAMLUND25 good through 11/28)!
You can find my Holiday Wishlist here (trying to keep it updated and I am hinting to T)… some gift ideas under $200 and cozy finds. I’m really wanting cozy travel sets right now. After a few weekend getaways lately I’ve realized I like to dress comfy for the car ride but then want to look somewhat put together when I get there. I’m going to ask for pants like these. I’m also curious to try / asking for pants from Leset. Like these (for nicer black pant occasions) and these (for lounge and travel).
