Oh, if only I had been able to use this video about How to Walk in High Heels as a guide earlier in my stiletto-wearing career.

I can't remember the last time I actually let someone else do the Thanksgiving cooking for me (OK, so I cheat a bit and cater most of it.) But I do usually host a famly Thanksgiving at my house. One lesson I've learned is to save the droopy bows and long sleeves (gravy bowl casualty!) for events where you won't be stuck in the kitchen most of the day.

Leggings: Warmth, Comfort and Chic
Tuesday November 10, 2009
I have this theory that the colder it gets, the more we crave comfort everything: comfort food, comfy home environment and definitely comfy clothing. That's where leggings come in. As a layering piece, leggings are perfect to transition your warm-weather clothes to winter-ready outfits. Just layer leggings under tunics and dresses to instantly warm them up. But beyond the warmth factor, leggings add another benefit: they are so comfy and cozy. Although I love my jeans, I have to admit that nothing compares to the comfort factor of a stretchy legging.

The one purchase I've already gotten the most use out of this season is my oversized, chunky cardigan. I like to wear mine with skinny jeans and tees, but it would go just as well with leggings. If you haven't tried this trend yet, you will surprised at how a simple shift in proportion -- to a longer sweater -- makes your basics look new again.
