On the Right Foot: The Swimsuit I Bought on Insta, Millennial Cookware, Post-Pandemic Wedding Dress Codes, and More!

July 12, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

My beloved duffel bag is getting a workout this month with overnight stays in Madison (staycation!); central Wisconsin; Minneapolis; Iowa City; and Richmond, Virginia. We’ve already one the first two and welcome suggestions for things to do for the other three!

I was influenced by an Instagram ad and purchased this swimsuit. I love it! It’s comfortable, stays in place, and has the right amount of compression.

Victoria’s Secret is rebranding. While it feels a bit “too little, too late,” I’m all for more realistic body types and shining the spotlight on inspirational, successful women.

This is such a sweet tank top.

The Gossip Girl reboot takes to Instagram for fashion influence. (Have you watched the first episode yet? I watched it last night and I have mixed feelings. I hope it gets better.)

I thought this piece on Great Jones cookware and the illusion of the millennial aesthetic was interesting.

The pandemic’s lingering effects on wedding dress code.

H&M has a few items worth checking out: these slides, a window box in a great shade of green (also in a smaller size), and a striped linen table cloth with coordinating cloth napkins.

Learn more about what minerality means in wine.

How to decline a job offer gracefully.

I’ve joined the wait list for these sandals.

In case you missed it:

  • Feeling good about my emerging gardening skills.
  • We spent the night at the Graduate Hotel in downtown Madison.
  • The prettiest sunset at Dave’s parents’ cabin.
  • A roundup of red bridesmaid dresses I love.

Shopping List: 9 Red Summer Dresses I Love

June 23, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Outfit Details: Grace Atwood x The Drop dress | Tory Burch mask (other styles) | Birkenstock sandals | Paravel backpack (similar) | Chimi sunglasses (available in black) | Aurelie Gi rings (learn about the brand here)

Admittedly red is not one of my favorite colors, falling somewhere near purple for least-loved. However, nothing can beat the fiery hue when you need a jolt of color. I picked up this dress last fall (and it’s surprisingly still available in a few sizes) and hadn’t worn it outside of a Zoom call up until our trip to Charleston in April. I have a renewed appreciate for the color and found myself browsing for other red dresses recently. Here are nine of my favorites:

  1. A dress with a classic fit-and-flare silhouette.
  2. Pair this cute mini with white sneakers.
  3. I adore the smocked top of this eyelet dress.
  4. This cotton voile option would be pretty over a swimsuit and out for cocktails.
  5. This dress has the prettiest woven striped detail.
  6. Ruffled straps add interest to an otherwise simple maxi dress.
  7. A tiered cotton dress that’s perfect for the hottest days.
  8. A long-sleeve option with a plunging neckline.
  9. While it’s a splurge, you’ll wear this tunic dress each summer for years.

On the Right Foot: Colorful Tile, the Maxi Dress to Buy Now, FOMO Returns & More!

June 22, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Well, we’re still in the midst of collecting bathroom renovation quotes from contractors. Everyone is incredibly busy, which is making the information-gathering stage last a lot longer than anticipated. In any case, it’s going to be a lot of money and probably won’t begin until early next year. In the meantime, I’m focusing my attention on small updates to our house, including swapping out the lame doorknob on the left that led to our enclosed porch in favor of a glass reproduction. (Don’t worry, I’ll also be taking a Magic Eraser to the scuffs and dried paint on the door!)

Tory Burch has an extra 25% off sale prices with code EXTRA.

The bathroom in this house tour is so much fun!

The return of FOMO.

I am in love with this farmer’s market tote.

Did you see the insane diet that Vogue published in the 1970s?

It’s the perfect time to get rid of the five-day work week.

I’m debating what to do with our half bath. This photo and this one are my leading inspiration images at the moment.

The next new recipe I’m going to tackle is this one for chicken seekh kebabs.

The long history of gender bias in medicine.

I’m all about maxi dresses this summer and I’m loving this one. That color!

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.
