Bauble of the Week

January 4, 2015 by jessica

bw-010415

If there’s an item of jewelry that epitomizes spring’s 1970s revival, it’s the candy-colored Plexiglas cuff by Valentino. It’s probably doesn’t come as a surprise that the psychedelic collection was inspired by the brand’s 1973 archive. Groovy! Of course, I wouldn’t spent over $600 on a plastic bracelet. I scoured eBay and found a similar vintage version for $135.

    Those are very fun pieces, though I’m happy to leave the plastic bracelets to the kids. Especially for $600, and even for $135!

      I definitely agree. I just thought they were fun, especially with ’70s trends coming back in full force.

    Re the Everlane tee: I really like them, I have a LOT. I normally buy the men’s because they’re a little looser but the last few I got were women’s and they’re great too. Nice and soft. The heather gray particularly so 🙂

    Gah, I love these but not for $600. That’s half my yearly budget (lol!) Thanks for the comment on my post, I will say that it helps that I work from home and have to wear a “uniform” for work when I go in (khakis or jeans with a company polo – ugh, plain jane texile plant life). There would be no way I could only do $1200 a year if I was back in an office. In fact if I had to go back to an office now I might have to spend $1200 just to get up to speed 😉

      You do textile design, right? I’m sure wearing khakis and a polo is torture! 😉

        Yep! But right now I’m doing sheets and towels for hotels, so it’s all white and kind of boring anyway (more technical stuff than design stuff) so the uniform kind of fits the job at the moment – lol! I miss color stories and fun patterns!

    These are gorgeous! But wow, that price tag is giving me sticker shock. If I scratched it I would freak out.

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂

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!

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.
