If there was ever a post that illustrated my end-of-summer aesthetic, this is it. I’m all about the relaxed bohemian vibe with these finds:

  • A loose gauze dress from BB Dakota. If you saw my Instagram yesterday, you know I already added it to my wardrobe. It’s on sale for just $50 and fits true-to-size. (I went with a medium.) Find this “Bronwen” style and other BB Dakota sale dresses here. I’m also loving the brand d.Ra for other affordable frocks. There’s a yellow one I’m smitten with.
  • A printed haircalf clutch by Clare V. Thus far, I’ve resisted adding the brand’s signature pouch to my collection. I’m just not sure how much I’d actually use it. This is the first design that makes me willing to risk it.
  • These fantastic fringe earrings. There’s also a matching necklace that I’m equally obsessed with.
  • The perfect nude polish that has just the right amount of pink.
  • A Moroccan pouf. You have no idea how much I want one of these. I’ve been on a huge decorating kick lately. In fact, housewares are pretty much all I look at after work now. Replacing the couches that our cat christened as his scratching post is our next priority, but I’ve been dying to add a pouf to our apartment for the longest time. I originally found this one in faux leather on Lulu & Georgia for $330. However, it looks like you can get the same one here (in leather!) for $200. There’s also a simpler design on sale for $150. There are tons of colors to choose from, but I prefer tan. I think it will age beautifully.
  • Barely there sandals. I’ve never tried Ancient Greek Sandals (Megan loves them!), but these look like the perfect pair for the last few weeks of summer.

This week, I’m coveting:

  • A versatile silk shirtdress. The understated print and ladylike ruffled hem makes this an autumn must-have. Wear it now with strappy sandal heels (like these) and later with borrowed-from-the-boys oxfords.
  • Emoji loafers! Take your time scrolling through the options and reading the corresponding hashtag. I love the color of this pair, but thought this #bombshell pair was especially clever.
  • Mirrored aviators because summer isn’t over yet.
  • The scalloped leather details on this drawstring bag (also available in black). It’s such a fun piece for an evening out, even if the scallops and grommets make it look a little bit like an owl.
  • J.Crew’s swing pullover. I live in my BR “Sloan” pants at work in the cooler months and prefer wearing them with relaxed tops. The swing silhouette and split hem make this a no brainer for long days at work and an easy transition to weekend wear. I’m probably going to pick it up in heather hydrangea and grey before the season is over.
  • The intricate embroidery on this darling mini.

This week, I’m coveting:

  • The peek-a-boo waist detail on an Elizabeth and James dress. The sophisticated color makes the airy dress the perfect transitional piece this fall.
  • The wallet version of Chloé’s must-have bag. Understandably, everyone is obsessed with the “Drew” bag right now. The wallet is just as chic and can double as a clutch.
  • Iosselliani’s asymmetrical earrings. They come in blue, green, and red.
  • This beautiful blue-grey nail polish (it’s the “Anise” shade). There’s also a deal on Deborah Lippmann’s “Undressed” nail polish set that comes with six mini bottles of neutral shades for $34. (It’s my favorite beauty steal during the #NSale, along with the Clinique moisturizer I always use.)
  • Menswear-inspired ankle boots from Tory Burch. Every fall I look for the perfect pair of booties and every fall I fail miserably. I love the “Hyde” version in patent navy. The kilt detail is removable for a more understated look.
  • Tibi’s off-the-shoulder top in wool twill. I love the top on everyone, but didn’t think a $300 price tag was worth it for cotton or denim. However, I’m tempted by this grey wool version. It’s a bit more expensive, but would look beautiful with my favorite slim pants and the loafers I recently added to my wardrobe.
  • This faux leather pleated skirt. It’s by far my favorite piece from J.Crew’s new arrivals. I prefer the navy version and would love to wear it with preppy sailor stripes.

In other news, I ordered this Topshop striped dress from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and this swing dress from the regular sale section. The swing dress is absolutely darling! It’s fully lined, lightweight for steamy days, and just $29. I’m planning to bring it to Louisville this weekend, but wanted to at least mention it in case it sells out before I post photos. I went up a size, since it’s a junior’s item. The Topshop dress, on the other hand, did not work for my body. It was large on top, but too snug around the hips. It would be adorable on someone tall and lean, though!

This week, I’m coveting:

  • Sporty details on this dress from LOFT. It’s such an easy piece to throw on with a pair of slides before heading out for the day. I’m also curious to try on this dress in white. The back detail looks so pretty.
  • My most recent purchase: a pair of black Puma sneakers. I can finally cast aside my crutches and go full weight-bearing on my boot for two weeks. After that, it’s sneakers for this gal for another four weeks. I picked up the black pair to mix and match with black and white ensembles for workdays and weekends. I’m also looking for a pair of white slip-on sneakers. I have these in my shopping cart, but I’m open to alternatives. I just don’t want to spend too much on something I probably won’t wear often.
  • This magenta ladylike bag. It’s on sale for $325, which is currently out of my price range, but I really wish it wasn’t. I keep thinking of how fantastic it would look with my green winter coat.
  • These incredible geometric earrings. They’re huge and I love ’em.
  • An easy black dress. Has anyone tried it on yet? It looks like it could be one of J.Crew’s hidden gems.
  • Stila’s glam new packaging for my favorite lip color.
  • Playful pillows. I’m on an apartment redecorating kick and have already picked up a new rug and ordered a coffee table. New couches are a bit out of our budget right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spruce things up with a new set of pillows, right? This pillow from West Elm has the same colors as the Trina Turk version at a wallet-friendly price.

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.

(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.
