Covetable

This beach-themed Covetable post is a departure from the holiday sparkle and cocktail dresses we’re all hunting for right now. However, we’re considering a trip to Florida in January and I just want to shop for warm-weather pieces. Surprisingly, last summer’s Tory Burch sandals are still available for just $132. I have a pair of heels from the same collection that are a little snug, but I just might give these a shot. I’m also planning to snag this pair of sandals. This scallop detail is irresistible, plus I have a discount code and reward coupons to bring the price down substantially.

I know the bag featured above is staggeringly expensive for most of us. You can snag a similar vintage version on eBay. (Remember when raffia bags were in vogue? I wasn’t going to spend a boatload on a new one and bought a vintage version on eBay for around $10. So much cheaper and you get the satisfaction of telling people it’s vintage when they ask about it.)

And speaking of handbags, a friend from college now manages a Chicago-area Tory Burch store and gave me a Friends & Family coupon for 30% off a purchase through the end of the month. I also received a $200 Visa gift card from work as a holiday gift. It’s the perfect storm for a purchase, right? I really want this bag. The mod design makes my heart skip a joyful beat. Or, should I pick something more practical like this satchel? It’s still on the smaller side, but will probably fit my camera. Decisions, decisions.

      Really? What city are you headed to? We’re looking at options for the second full weekend in January and will probably head to Fort Lauderdale.

    I wouldn’t mind jetting off somewhere warm, perhaps on December 26th?

    Also, I’m a fan of the satchel, but I think deep down you know what you want most.

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
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!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

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.
