On the Right Foot: The House Dress, Ice Cream Cocktails, Colorize B&W Photos, & More!

August 24, 2020 by jessica

Christian Siriano’s home embraces modernist design. It’s not my preferred style overall, aside from that serene bedroom above, but it’s fun to look at!

Artist Juliana Lupacchino is my new favorite Instagram follow.

I’m all about simple, beautiful handbags and this one fits the bill. Better yet, the caramel-brown version has a hot pink lining!

This is an interesting piece on how COVID-19 is impacting the beauty industry. In it, the author shares that lipstick sales have dwindled during the pandemic, which isn’t surprising when it’s just going to be smeared inside of a mask. (Granted, I still wear it for my Zoom calls.)

I added this set of face masks to my growing collection.

All hail the house dress, the quintessential fashion item of 2020.

It’s no secret that Wisconsinites are, um, devoted to their drinking culture and one of its finest examples is the ice cream cocktail. We’ve perfected the boozy dessert drink and you can, too. (Brandy Alexanders are my favorite, but I can’t seem to perfect a dairy-free alternative now that I can’t have lactose.)

Clearly our house shoes need an autumn-upgrade with these slip-on mules.

I shared a link to this inexpensive blanket in a recent roundup and have since purchased it in the lighter green plaid. It’s perfect for cooler evenings outside or by a campfire.

Did you see this amazing tool that colorizes old black-and-white photos? It’s time to pull out those family albums!

Add to cart: the sculptural jewelry from designer Hyun Yu. These earrings are stunning.

I’ve been dreaming about the cheddar and green chile scones we had at Bearded Heart Coffee in Door County (travel guide coming soon!). I’m going to try my hand at making them with this recipe.

In case you missed it:

  • Ten accent mirrors I love.
  • We stained our front porch!
  • That morning light.

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.
