Heart Designs Don’t Have to Be Tacky

Heart Prints That Aren't Tacky

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

Valentine’s Day is next week and as we inch closer to the romantic holiday, I find myself yearning to wear my heart on my sleeve — or wrist or earlobes as the case may be. However, it can be difficult to find heart-emblazoned items suitable for a 30-something woman that don’t look like they belong in a toddler’s closet. Jenny Bird nailed it this year with earrings that take an organic approach to the heart shape, and I just adore that set of underwear with petite velvet hearts that also comes in pink (bra and panties).

Here are some more heart-print and heart-shape pieces that can be worn throughout the year:

Weekend Roundup

February 1, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Kim and Scott’s bathroom reveal has me considering green penny tile for our half bath, which I’d like to take on myself this year. We’ll see how far along I get until I need to call in a pro!

Not sure which Democratic candidate to support? The Washington Post created a quiz to see which one agrees with you the most.

Dani recently published a post on how to use Instagram for free at-home workouts.

This leaning floor mirror is so good.

Compostable take-out containers might not be any better for the environment than plastic.

I’m adding spicy-sweet sambal pork noodles to our dinner lineup next week.

If you love following along with old house restoration and design as much as I do, you’ll want to bookmark Manhattan Nest.

Pet-friendly houseplants.

Non-tacky heart jewelry is nearly impossible to find, but Jenny Bird nailed it with an organic take on the shape here and here.

Finds under $50:

  • I can’t get over how much I love these “fish bone” earrings. The “natural” color is my favorite.
  • Soludos’ striped, lace-up flat espadrille sandals are now just $20. (I just ordered them myself!)
  • How great would these pillow covers be for a sun room?
  • My hair is fine and thin, which makes any scarf-tying attempt slip right out. I think I’m going to give this hair tie a whirl for spring and summer!
  • Such a cute dress to pair with sneakers or sandals.

In case you missed it:

  • The items I purchased last month.
  • A coat I can’t stop obsessing over.
  • I might need to pack away fragile items in our house if our adoption application for this guy is approved.

Latest Purchases for Home & Wardrobe: January 2020

January 27, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Latest Purchases

PURCHASED – FOR ME
See all of this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Kate Spade faux fur jacket in gingerbread (also available here) – If this post was any indication, you know how delighted I am by this purchase. My focus for 2020 is to only purchase and keep items that I’m absolutely head-over-heels for and this coat is the perfect example of that. It’s ultra soft, the color has dimension, and is actually really warm. I have narrow shoulders and a small chest, so I was able to size down to a small. (I tend to be between a small and medium in Kate Spade tops.)
  • Spanx “The Perfect Black Pant” back-seam skinny pants – I had been searching for a pair of comfortable black dress pants to wear to work and came across these. I love that they’re stretchy and hold everything in smoothly. They hit me right at the ankle, which is my ideal length for wearing with flats. I’m typically a 10 in pants and the large fit the best.

PURCHASED – FOR HOME

  • Hearth & Hand faux fig stem – I bought this vase last year and the small opening is perfect for displaying a single branch, which is great for when there’s actual greenery outside. In the meantime, I purchased the faux fig stem from Target. It’s one of their more realistic stems that’s convincing enough from across the room and it adds a nice textural element to the dining table where the vase is displayed right now.
  • Target bath mat – I asked my parents for Lands’ End’s Turkish spa towels in pewter for Christmas last year and they delivered. (I highly recommend them if you’re looking for towels! They feel so luxurious and they’re a great price point. You can even order a sample swatch to feel the texture before committing.) I wanted a bath mat to match and came across this one at Target. I love the low pile, which seems like it’ll hold up well. I’ll likely get another one or two because I love it so much.
  • West Elm fluted planter – Even in “extra small,” which was the size I bought, this planter is on the larger size — which is a great value for the money. I love the fluted shape that adds interest to an otherwise basic white planter. It ended up being too large for the pilea I wanted to use, but I’m keeping it for the next plant I bring home.
  • “Windfall” print by Kelly Money – I’m a sucker for a moody seascape or landscape and fell for this print. I bought the small 8-inch square print with the black metal frame. I’m not quite sure where it’ll go just yet, though!

Object of Affection: Kate Spade Faux Fur Short Coat

January 13, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Kate Spade Faux Fur Short Coat

There have been many times where I don’t have an opportunity to sing praises of a new-to-me piece until the end of the month with a shopping review or in the rare outfit post, risking a sold-out notification for the most covetable items. So, we’re going to change that with periodic quick posts about a wardrobe or home good I think is so darn amazing that it should be on your radar as soon as possible! First up, that faux fur coat I linked you to a couple of weeks ago. It. Is. Gorgeous.

I ordered both the black and brown (both in a medium) to try first from Bloomingdale’s during their post-holiday sale for $211 each before finding it at a steeper discount at Lord & Taylor where I ordered both colors again. The black one is pretty, but the brown one with its warm, gingerbread hue is far superior. The way the light hits it creates contrast in the “fur,” making it look so luxurious (and, frankly, real). Before committing to it, I had a nagging feeling that I should try a size small because the shoulders seemed a bit wide. I placed one more order for a size small in brown and it was perfect. (I have narrow shoulders and a small chest. I probably would have kept the medium if that wasn’t the case. I’d suggest ordering your regular size and a size smaller to compare.) I feel like a hoarder with four coats to return sitting in my bedroom, but it’s well worth the hassle. I’m absolutely in love with the coat and hope that all sartorial purchases of 2020 leave me as giddy.

Available at:
Bloomingdale’s
Lord & Taylor
Zappo’s

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.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
