happy thanksgiving.
i'll be back on friday with a few pretty finds, then back next monday to continue the greedy girl gift guides.
i hope all my american readers have a lovely thanksgiving. i'm excited (and thankful) to not be working for the first time in five years.
thanks to all of you for reading and supporting greedy girl.
if you haven't already, you've got til the end of the day to enter the giveaway for a beautiful photo calendar from lesley sico.

michelle armas.
i didn't participate in the calendar swap since there ended up being a perfectly even number of people. so? i think i owe myself. and so i want this. because it's nothing short of stunning.
have you gotten your calendar yet?
(via simple lovely.)
greedy girl gift guide.
clockwise from top left:
1. tent* from wagwear
2. t-shirt from sckoon
3. turkey dinner** from target
4. cookies from land of paws
5. dog 'stache by humunga
6. ceramic bowl from bauer pottery company
7. collar from mascot
8. sock monkey from fun time dog shop
*technically, we've tried the "tent" thing and our pugs were not impressed. i like to think that if we spent $200 on one, they might change their minds.
**the only gifts i've gotten this year are these dinners-on-a-plate we found at target. apparently they've made the blog rounds lately and sound like they might be hard to come by, so i'm glad we picked them up when we did. luke will get the turkey dinner (with roll, corn on the cob, greens of some sort and a baked potato), while margo will get the lobster dinner (same sides, plus a lemon). i'm doing my best to not get them from the top of the refrigerator (where the pugs can't find them — we pretend like they are children. and smart. and a lot taller than they are.) and play with them myself.
lauren moffatt.
if ever there was a dress i had to have...
(via svpply, which i'll admit now is going to make me a lazy blogger/seeker of fantastic things.)
p.s. you've got until the end of the day to enter the giveaway for a pair of hansel from basel tights, courtesy of kind boutique. you know what to do.
wilfred.
who wants to fill her closet with all of these? i do. and her hair is so pretty, too.

acrimony.
some things i wouldn't mind in my closet...
i found a similar sweatshirt-style dress at target today, but i have to stalk all the other stores to get my size. loved it. (and didn't find it online but it's part of the converse line.)
a giveaway: hansel from basel donegal tights.
i'm really excited to announce this giveaway courtesy of kind boutique, a devoted and generous greedy girl sponsor. the prize? adorable hansel from basel KNEEPAD tights. i love the kneepad part. and the heathery, multicolored specks part, too.

calypso st. barth, part two.
sorry! i love a good khaki & gray combo and had to share some more calypso finds.
calypso st. barth.
it's ridiculous, but this hat is at the top of my winter wishlist. i'll take the other things, too.
leah duncan. (+calendar swap update.)
love this one. (via size too small.)
if you signed up for the calendar swap, you should have received your swapmate's details last week. if you haven't yet or if you have any questions, just get in touch with kelly or me. we ended up with a little over 130 swappers from all over. we saw lots of you from all over... mostly americans, as was expected, but still a lot from other places, especially australia and spain. thanks to everyone who signed up, and we hope you have a fun time picking out (and getting!) a new calendar.
fancy french cologne.
five reasons to fall in love with new-to-me shop (thanks, kate), fancy french cologne.
1. amazing funktional dress. you saw the zipper front? and racerback back?
2. triangle top from tulle and blouse from line & dot.
3. purposely holey sweater from cheap monday. have i mentioned that i go through sweaters likeTHAT because my elbows are so pointy? or, really, just my left elbow. it's a shame. this sweater, though? it rocks. and the model's kind of kick ass tatt makes it that much cooler.
4. stripey, gathery dress from aryn k. easy.
5. silky, backless dress from funktional. can they do no wrong?
shop cuffs.
aside from being envious of anyone who looks like this, i'm also envious of anyone who can pull off these types of puffy-shouldered shirts. in fact, i might not have been a fan of such shirts until i saw one styled like this.
libby story.
sequins galore (have to have this jacket) + a hobo bag collection i'd kill for + shoes i need = new favorite shop.
what's a new favorite you've stumbled upon lately?
loup.
really fun looks from loup, don't you think? love that they're all mid-air shots.
Loup proudly continues on to its third season and is expanding from its original vision of fashionable tennis apparel to focus on comfortable and modern women's wear. Loup is revisiting the past in a modern light. This season is all about creating effortless fashion for every woman, where each garment is ready to wear, easy to care for, and perfect for any occasion.
i like that.
even better? take 15 percent off your entire purchase until the end of the year. just enter 'holiday' at checkout.
and, on a related note, i'm going to steal this really genius idea. it just looks like so much fun.
le mont st. michel.
i cannot get this cape out of my head. i really am not kidding when i say i could wear a cape every day for the rest of my life. (who remembers this plaid wool cape from paul & joe's target line? still a staple in my wardrobe, four years later.)
p.s. did you know about this? i like.
t by alexander wang tank, marc by marc jacobs satchel, seychelles boots, suede (!) legging by rika, lion and lamb ring by elisa solomon.
wintercheck factory. (+ a calendar swap update.)
you've seen 'a league of their own,' right? i hope you have. it's easy enough to draw inspiration from the 40s frocks and coiffures (think 'all the way mae'), but i've always loved geena davis' character's style at the very beginning.
and this line reminds me of that. inspired by women's workwear during world war II, the pieces are all made in limited runs — and cost under $100.
please sign me up. and call me rosie.
...
a calendar swap update... i got through about half of the pairings before falling asleep (so many of you signed up!). so if you haven't yet gotten the e-mail with your swapmate's details, give me one more day.
i also want to say thank you to everyone who signed up. there were nearly 130 participants from all over the world. also thank you to ms. design crush for co-hosting the swap with me again.
cursive design.
hope everyone had a happy halloween weekend... i did. lots of candy, zombies and relaxing. and how was yours? did you have a wonderfully unique costume? if so, take a second and tell me about it.
really coveted necklace here... another by cursive design.
