On the Right Foot: Friendsgiving, Free Things to Do in London, My Favorite Candle is on Sale & More!

November 21, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Weekend snapshots (clockwise from upper left): furniture shopping again for a new bed and I think we’ve narrowed it down to this one in matte teak; sifting through the vintage Christmas decor I inherited when my grandma passed earlier this year; made the season’s first batch of Chex Mix (and forgot the pretzels); gave my plants a shower to rinse the dust off.

Asking everyone to bring pie isn’t the worst idea…

The culture of Friendsgiving.

It’s time to stock up on my favorite holiday candle with 25% off (code RANGER25).

Such a beautiful home tour.

Loving how chic a camel-colored puffer coat looks, especially with the cropped length.

Tips for starting a new tradition.

We had our first snowfall of the year and it was a pretty one.

How to remove salad dressing stains. (And while we’re on the topic of stain removal, this stuff is great for removing red wine.)

18 free things to do in London.

My favorite knit beanie is back in stock in a myriad of colors. It tends to sell out quickly each year.

On the Right Foot: Glitzy Earrings for Under $20, Virtual Interview Mistakes, Winter Care for Houseplants & More!

November 14, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent about six hours practicing pottery at the studio, we finally checked out a new sushi place in Madison, and we visited Dave’s sister and met our new niece — she’s a cutie!

How porcelain dolls became a Victorian status symbol.

Key questions to ask yourself before a bathroom remodel.

A roundup of things that caught my eye. I just ordered the dress to try, the plaid clutch is on my Christmas wish list, I’m trying to rationalize the lamp for our office, and those Mary Janes are sweetly sophisticated.

These glitzy earrings are on sale for just $19.50!

How to care for your houseplants over winter.

I’ve never related so much to something.

This tulle-sleeve top is perfect for layering under sleeveless dresses.

Five virtual interview mistakes and how to fix them.

Airbnb is getting more transparent about fees and rolling out more reasonable checkout rules.

I took a pottery class for five weeks over the summer and just started my second class last Friday! I get awfully dirty while throwing on the wheel, so I purchased a “Claypron” at the recommendation of a couple of my classmates. The long apron has a split hem so you can keep your legs covered while working.

Liquor up your holiday guests with a cranberry rum punch.

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. If you’re hosting this year, freshen up your table with these festive finds.

In love with this beautiful dining room.

Crushing on these croc-embossed loafers in emerald.

The latest handbag brand getting a lot of hype.

USPS has announced its holiday shipping deadlines to get your packages to your loved ones by Christmas.

The importance of practicing gratitude in your relationship.

I just bought this fun, swingy dress! Go down a size as it runs large. (I’m also tempted by this one.)

12 Tabletop Buys for Thanksgiving

November 4, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

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

Thanksgiving — and Friendsgiving! — celebrations will be here before you know it! It sounds like I might be hosting our friends this year, which has me scouring the internet for fresh serving and decor pieces. I love the idea of mixing this brass garland (which can easily be reused for December hosting) with a mismatched set of candlesticks — either sourced from your local thrift shop or already curated right here. And can we just take a moment to admire that turkey serving dish. It looks like it could be a vintage find!

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. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.
