The Coveted

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • Round retro sunglasses. This pair is a splurge and comes in seven colors. Love the look, but don’t want to spend that much? This pair is just $26 and comes in nine colors, including a rainbow pastel version.
  • An eyelet romper.
  • White minimalist nail polish. Clinique polishes are my favorite. I have the color “Hi Sweetie,” which has full coverage with one coat. It dries fairly quickly and lasts for days. A second coat looks nicer, but sometimes I just don’t have the time for it!
  • Embellished espadrille sandals. This pair reminds me of something Miu Miu would make, but they’re a heck of a lot more reasonable at $117.
  • This sleek leather tote for just $148. It’s hard to find a budget-friendly real leather tote that looks as sophisticated as this one. It’s made of saffiano leather, which I love because it’s durable and easy to wipe down if it gets wet. The tote comes in black, beige, and pink.
  • An oversize flower cocktail ring. It’s huge and I adore everything about it, especially the caged freshwater pearl center.
  • This darling crop top to wear with the season’s high-waisted skirts.

This is the second week in a row I’ve featured culottes and I think it’ll be the spring trend I actually try! I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair, but the more skirt-like the better! Browse more options here.

Remember when I said that every woman should own a DVF dress? Now’s the time! Save an extra 20% on sale items at DVF through Monday with code JAN20.

Have you ever browsed the Shopbop exclusives? I’m always amazed by the incredible brands that create items just for the retailer. It’s how I stumbled across those edgy earrings by Amber Sceats and these darling conversation heart pouches by Rebecca Minkoff. (I wasn’t in the Valentine’s Day spirit until I spotted them!)

Happy New Year! I hope you all rang in 2015 with those you love! We had a low key evening at a friend’s place, listening to ’90s music and playing cards games. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the last day of 2014, even if it meant waking up with a brutal champagne headache yesterday!

[spacer]

Now that a new year is upon us, I usually ignore the fact that it’s still freezing outside and I start looking forward to fresh spring clothes. I just ordered the matching retro floral top and shorts from J.Crew. The matching set reminds Dave of pajamas, but I think it comes off as a more practical take on the romper. The package should arrive today, so here’s hoping that everything fits after weeks of eating just about everything.* (I also sort of want the matching flats. Too much?)

[spacer]

Can you believe this pretty cami is only $15? It also comes in black and white. Stock up and wear them under itchy sweaters, with blazers, tucked into skirts, or with shorts this summer.

*Update: Both pieces are great, but I do need to exchange the top for a larger size. My normal size is incredibly tight in the shoulders and bust. There’s no stretch since it’s polyester.

I’m so impressed with all of you bloggers who are managing to balance the blog with holiday to-dos and a full-time job! I’ve definitely been slacking these past few weeks and a few days without social media is exactly what I need to refresh. Instead, you’ll find me curled up in pajamas, watching Christmas movies, and baking cookies for a couple of days before heading to my parents’ house. (Okay, yes, I’ll probably spend time catching up on everyone’s blog. It’s been far too long since I’ve commented on anything!)

We have winners of the Gerard Yosca giveaway! Congrats to April C. and Katie K.! I’ll be pestering you for your mailing addresses soon. Happy holidays!

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!
