Postcards from D.C.

November 12, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

This was our second trip to D.C. in as many years and I’m still left with a “must-see” list that’s longer than what we checked off. Last year we hectically squeezed in as many museums as possible – to the point where I refused to learn anything more. We vowed this visit would be different with more time devoted to strolling through neighborhoods and indulging in afternoon drinks.

The best laid plans …

Here’s just some of what we did: Holocaust Memorial Museum, saw pandas at the National Zoo, Newseum, tried out the Uber car service, purchased art at the Eastern Market flea market, National Archives, Pizzeria Paradiso (three times), hung out with Lisa in Old Town Alexandria, stumbled across Hello Kitty’s campaign office, the International Spy Museum’s “Spy in the City” walk, Georgetown, watched election results roll in, photographed the view from the Old Post Office Pavilion, dinner at Old Ebbitt Grill (rumor has it that Roosevelt bagged the walrus displayed in the bar)

Bauble of the Week

November 11, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

Those who follow me on Instagram know that I spent time earlier this week organizing my jewelry collection. It was a project that was long overdue and made me realize just how many baubles I have (though, not quite hoarder territory … yet). Moving forward, I’ve vowed to limit my jewelry purchases to thoughtfully chosen items that are unique, stunning and high quality, like this pair of Belle Noel earrings ($95).

Currently Coveting

November 9, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

I’ve been knee-deep in holiday cheer ever since we visited the National Zoo this week and spotted the staff putting up decorations. Judging by my “most coveted” list above, that’s not going to change anytime soon (especially since I’m snacking on peppermint bark and burning a pine-scented candle). Let’s just hope that I can keep the Christmas decor packed away until after Thanksgiving. 

And the winner is… Congratulations to Jennifer R. for winning the $100 gift card to Shopbop. I’ll be in touch with you soon! Thanks again to everyone for entering and don’t forget to enter to win a pair of slippers from Daniel Green! 

Shop It: J.Crew sweater // J.Crew belt // Modcloth glasses // Nest candle // Kate Spade bobby pins // J.Crew earrings // ShoeMint pumps

Review & Giveaway: Daniel Green Slippers

November 2, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

One of the best things about the cooler temperatures is snuggling inside with a luxurious candle and a pair of cozy slippers. I jumped at the chance to upgrade my old pair of slippers when Daniel Green offered to send over a pair for review (especially since I’ve been wearing a moccasin-style pair that has seen much better days  – and are far too embarrassing to take a photo of).

I chose this pair of traditional smoking slippers in metallic gold: a bit playful, a bit elegant, and completely appropriate for running outside to grab the mail. And I suspect that the leather upper will keep these in good shape through the coming years.

Giveaway! Daniel Green is offering U.S. readers a chance to win a pair of slippers. Just visit the Daniel Green website and let me know which pair you’d like to win! Good luck!

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.

• 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.
