 Skirt The Rules // Shopaholic ProblemsCrop Top (50% off at Express!) / Faux leather pleated skirt (30% off at J.Crew)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I celebrated mine with my husband (still getting used to that!) and both of our families which was a first so many levels. My brother and his wife hosted dinner at their house and I tried my hand at baking, recreating Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie using this recipeSo good. If you’re ever in NYC you need to go the dessert shop or come over to my place. They taste one in the same. 😉

Anyways, today is all about recovering from my food overdose with all of the shopping. I rounded up the best of the best Black Friday sales, the deals and everything you need to put in your shopping cart ASAP. If you plan on getting all of your holiday shopping done today, check out my 2015 Holiday Gift Guide for some personalized ideas! You can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter – I’ll be posting any updates and favorite finds throughout the day.

Skirt The Rules // Holiday Greeting Cards

The best part about the holiday season? Sharing the love. Every single bit of it.

Skirt The Rules // Holiday Greeting Cards

This year is especially exciting for me and James since we’re celebrating our first Christmas together as a married couple. (Side note: can you believe it’s been six months since our best day ever?)

Skirt The Rules // Holiday Greeting Cards

Another first for us: sending out holiday greeting cards to friends and family. And who better to partner with than Shutterfly on this fun project? They literally have hundreds of seasonal templates to choose from, which can be a little problematic for the indecisive person that I am.

Skirt The Rules // Holiday Greeting Cards

I narrowed down the choices down to three designs (Snowy Berries, Very Merry Holly and Enchanting Lights), featuring three of my favorite photos from our wedding. You can also customize a bunch of the details (cardstock, trim options, envelope colors). I love that we were able to create something warm and festive while staying true to our aesthetic.

Skirt The Rules // Holiday Greeting Cards

Now the question remains – which design will we use to spread the holiday love this year? Help us decide by letting us know which card is your favorite in the comments below! And if you’re in the mood to share the love, Shutterfly is offering up to 50% on all orders through Thanksgiving (11/26) with code BIGSAVINGS!

Thank you Shutterfly for sponsoring this post.
