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.

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.

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.
