Top 10 | Spring Mules

February 24, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

Top-10-Spring-Mules-2015

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE | TEN

[spacer]

This ’90s throwback made an appearance last year and it’s back again for 2015. I honestly didn’t think I’d warm up to this trend, until I saw this pin. Pairing an easy-to-slip-into mule with her breezy dress just screams summer chic. Cone heels still look outdated (sorry, Kate Spade), but a chunky heel or wedge with unexpected details (like braided faux leather) feels fresh. My favorite is this pair from Tory Burch with the geometric design on the wedge. Not really into heels? How cute would these slides look with a pair of slim pants?

Style Steal

StyleStealKateSpadeToucanSandals3

I get it, toucan sandals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I loved these when Kate Spade debuted them last summer. I stalked the heck out of them, hoping they’d hit the sale section before warm weather was just a distant memory. No luck. They weren’t discounted until fall, when sandals weren’t exactly the most practical purchase. Even then, the price wasn’t that great and I wrote them off as yet another sartorial white whale. I certainly didn’t expect to find them on Amazon this week for just $70. Most of the sizes are still available in limited stock, aside from the size 7, which Dave purchased for me as my Valentine’s gift. (We’re not much for surprises. And, before you think I’m a bad girlfriend, I treated him to a sour and barrel-aged beer tasting on Sunday.)

Wardrobe Welcome

So I may have gone to a beer fest last weekend and I may have had a little too much to drink and I may have ordered a pair of shoes. Cobalt snakeskin flats, in fact.

They also come in black or natural, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Shopping Guide | Black Ankle Boots

September 22, 2014 by jessica 11 Comments



 

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]F[/dropcap]inding the perfect pair of black ankle boots for fall is taking a ridiculously long time and my wish list isn’t even that lofty. I just want a black pair with a substantial heel for navigating slippery sidewalks that doesn’t look dowdy. I’d also like to stay away from suede so I don’t have to contend with as many salt stains. And, I hate silver hardware with black leather. It looks a little too biker babe for me. I spent the morning scrolling through hundreds of options to come up with nine that meet my expectations.

Pictured top to bottom, left to right.

Under $100: Express, $70 | H&M, $50 | ASOS, $57

Under $250: Elliott Lucca, $179 | Topshop, $150 | Michael by Michael Kors, $245

Under $500: Tory Burch, $385 | Kate Spade, $425 | Cole Haan, $328

Loving Lately

November 6, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Lately, I’m loving flats for their casual elegance, ladylike charm and uncompromising practicality. These four have been in heavy rotation over the last few weeks. Clockwise from top: Forever21, Kate Spade (similar), Ferragamo, Joie

In other news, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale started. I’ve got my eye on four pairs of flats (here, here, here and here) and one pair of gorgeous heels.

For You…


I’ve had my eye on these graphic earrings for awhile and now they’re even more tempting at $50.

For Home…


This drink table is perfect for small spaces when you need a place to perch a cocktail. Plus, it doubles as a plant stand!

Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve. They’re practically begging to be used as built-in displays for ceramics! 

(I removed the phone jack, pulled the wires back through the hole, and patched it up, so it’s no longer functional for a landline. I assume a future owner won’t miss it either!)

I’ve taken a version of this photo each Christmas to serve as a timeline of the small changes over the years. One thing never changes, though: I think our Christmas tree is the prettiest. 😊 I hope you have a wonderful holiday in however you’re able to celebrate this year. 2020 has been difficult, but we’re in the home stretch now! Sending lots of love your way!

As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite famil As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite family cookie recipe now on the blog! (Find it via the link-in-profile or search for "sugar cookie.”) It never feels like Christmas until I’ve had my mom’s sugar cookies. In a typical year (or even an atypical one like 2020!), I’ll spend a couple of days working on these — baking them the first and decorating them the second — and it immediately puts me in the holiday spirit. Not only are these nostalgic for me as she’s been making them my entire life (there’s even a photo of me, no older than 2 years old, sitting at the kitchen table “helping” with them), they’re hands-down the best sugar cookies I have ever had. And plenty of people agree with not-so-subtle hints to make them each year.

It never really feels like the holiday season unti It never really feels like the holiday season until I’ve made sugar cookies with my mom’s decades old recipe — and until I’ve risked a food-borne illness by snacking on raw dough. I shirked the holiday tradition last year after having been too busy with holiday travel (ten days in Belgium and a long weekend in Chicago left me too busy with other holiday to-dos), but there’s zero excuse to put off baking this year. #AlwaysHome #QuarantineForever
Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... the Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... these are a few of my favorite things. 🎶 (I don't think Julie Andrews would mind tweaking the lyrics a little bit, right? 😉)

Pro tip: Instead of looking at the gift-wrap section for things to decorate your presents, hit up your local craft store. I bought a package of 75 jingle bells, a dozen mini bottlebrush trees, and twine in seasonal colors for just a couple of dollars each. (The wrapping paper is from Target.)
