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!

My family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving but I always look forward to having pumpkin pie and all kinds of pumpkin goodies. I always make a point of watching the Adam Sandler "Thanksgiving Song" from the Saturday Night Live. Classic and always a good laugh!
my fav thing is the time with family, we go for a walk up to the local Starbucks, get our first pumpking spice latte of the season and then walk home to enjoy a wonderful meal together. we go around the table and each say what we are thankful for. It's an amazing time together!
My favourite part of Thanksgiving is getting together with family and having a huge feast! Oh, and I love my stuffing!
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the smell of delicious turkey roasting and the warmth of a house full of family and friends celebrating together. =)
Thanks for the great giveaway!
The best thing about Thanksgiving is not hosting it this year!! LOL!!
But i have pies to make too and I can't wait to see my family.
My favourite thing about Thanksgiving is that it brings my friends and family together to share a wonderful meal. Life doesn't get much better.
Thanksgiving... It's always been a time, not only for coming together with family you were born into but also the family you acquire as you move through your life. With friends and family spread over two nations countries, many of my thanksgivings have been spent breaking bread with close friends., and being thankful we have become their family and they have become ours... On a less sentimental note I do love thanksgiving because I get to officially breakout my " fall wardrobe".. With cute boots to match!!
I like it when you go door to door and get treats!
Such great entries! Will draw the winner early next week!
Happy Thanksgiving x
Roasted sweet potatoes basted w/ butter & brown sugar... yummy!
