Cyber Monday | How to Set a Thanksgiving Table Like Kendall Jenner's with Sur La Table

American Thanksgiving 2020 has officially come and gone—sad, but at this point, I think we’re all a little bit anxious for this year to meet its end. Now that the turkey coma has subsided, it’s time to turn our attention to Cyber Monday—also known as the perfect time to stock up on the essentials for next year’s (hopefully) more festive feast.

If you happened to see supermodel Kendall Jenner’s Instagram over the weekend, you’ll likely have noticed a snap from her family’s idyllic Thanksgiving tablescape—complete with turkey-patterned dishware and jacquard plaid napkins.

5 Nordstrom Sale French Favorites You Can Still Score

If you know anything about the blogging world, then surely you’re aware that fewer things are more sacred to a blogger than the beloved Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That being said, I could hardly consider myself a lifestyle blogger worth my stripes if I didn’t dedicate some time to easing the pain of navigating this cherished event.

Shopping the sales—known as les soldes— is as much a French past-time as it is an American one— although traditionally, retail sales in France are advertised twice a year, with most shops and boutiques all participating at the same time, so that everyone knows exactly when it’s time to shop til you drop. Kind of like our own Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—the event is anticipated annually, allowing for plenty of time to prepare and hydrate accordingly.

Although c’est la vie, the official blowout sale may have already come to end—as all good things inevitably and proverbially do—I’ve rounded up some French designer favorites that you can still snag on sale right now—without the need to queue up outside the store at dawn, or throw elbows in the crowd while breaking down the entry doors, as our seasoned sale-shopping forebears once did.

We owe it to them to save 60% the civilized way—and the one that God and the government have both essentially mandated in 2020—online.

Also, you can get $40 towards your purchase when you open a Nordstrom card. Just saying!

2. COMME DES GARÇONS

PRINT SATIN SLEEVELESS MIDI DRESS $780 (60% OFF)

Summer definitely doesn’t seem to be over yet, so it’s quite possible to still get some mileage out of this one this year, or perhaps let it kick off the first official garden party of 2021. This updated take on the toile print isn’t going anywhere.

3. MONIQUE LHUILLIER

TIERED PLEAT MIDI DRESS
$238.00 (60% OFF)

For those of us who went deep into Cottage Core this summer—you know who you are—I dare you to say no to this frothy pastoral dream.

4. SAINT LAURENT

MONOGRAMME LOGO ESPADRILLE $345 (8% OFF)

Perfect for transitioning into fall, I can’t decide if these canvas flats make comfort look effortlessly chic, or if they make looking chic seem suspiciously comfortable. Either way, I’m sold.

5. GIVENCHY

61 MM AVIATORS
$236.98 (40% OFF)

Aviators have always been my sunglass shape of choice. A fun hybrid of retro-glam, they pair perfectly with 2020’s hottest accessory, the face mask—seriously, I’m seeing them EVERYWHERE this year.
