Zara-Floral-Print-Dress-1

I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore this Zara dress. I love the flirty length, the bell sleeves, and the muted color palette that makes it perfect for warm fall days. I bought it when we were in Georgetown a few weeks ago and wore it the very next day (a sure sign of a great purchase).  Now that I’m home with full access to my jewelry collection, I’ve been pairing it with a long pendant similar to this.

CurrentlyCoveting-091015

This week, I’m coveting plenty of ’70s-inspired garb, including:

  • The dress I picked up at Zara in Georgetown the other day. I’m absolutely smitten with the bell sleeves and short hemline. There’s an outfit post featuring it coming soon!
  • This mini bag in the prettiest blush hue. It’s on the pricey side for such a small purse, so I’m keeping an eye out for a sale. (On another note, did you see Tory Burch’s “Paris” collection? The feathered collar of this shirt seems is great DIY inspiration and this clutch is to die for!)
  • Round retro sunglasses.
  • A faux suede skirt. There are also faux suede mini skirts that come in camel with and without buttons.
  • A feminine creamy nude lipstick, which perfectly offsets a smokey eye.
  • An ivory turtleneck that you’ll wear during the work week just as often as the weekend.
  • A statement pendant to wear with the season’s tunic dresses. (Confession: My favorite pendants are vintage finds from eBay. I love this, this, and this. It takes patience to hunt down the good stuff, but I’ve found that including the word “runway” with other vintage jewelry search terms yields the best oversize pieces.) The cocktail ring version of this pendant is on sale for $58.

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 can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth C I can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth Christmas in the house! 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.)
