Striped

Every year, my wardrobe echos the back-to-school mindset of autumn with preppy basics like this striped sweater from Banana Republic and the new driving moccasins you may have spotted on Snapchat over the weekend (username: bedknobsbaubles). The only drawback, if you can consider it one, is that the weather is still far too hot and humid to actually wear these things for longer than a quick photo session. (As if you couldn’t tell from my hair …) However, I’m happy to brave the elements — and a touch of heat stroke — if it helps convince you that this is definitely one sweater worth adding to your closet this fall. Truth be told, I haven’t loved anything from Banana Republic this year (aside from the purse worn here). Fits have been off on me and the fabric quality questionable, but this sweater is definitely a keeper. It’s a lightweight blend of merino wool, cashmere and synthetic materials that’s machine washable. (Seriously, when was the last time you scored a non-cotton sweater that could be laundered at home?) The fabric is on the thin side and I almost returned it before trying it on because of it. However, I was pleased to discover that it’s not actually that sheer when worn with a nude bra underneath. It runs true to size.

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.

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
