Weekend Roundup: Fancy Flats, Chic Puzzles, Coupes You Need for Holiday Hosting, & More!

October 26, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

JCrew Gwen slingback flats

It has been entirely too long since I’ve given into my affinity for pink (lipstick aside). I don’t know why I started to shy away from the hue, but I started wearing it again with one of last month’s purchases and my love of the color has been fully reignited with these flats. They’re so pretty and perfect for upcoming holiday parties. I’m obsessed. And in other pink purchases, I couldn’t help but order this top coat when it was on deep discount a few weeks back. I’ll take outfit pics with it soon!

As far as modern style icons go, Jenny Walton is one of mine. I’m always inspired by her feminine, vintage-inspired aesthetic. She just launched her debut accessory collection with the prettiest daisy pieces. The double daisy drop earrings are my favorite.

The complicated history of flamenco in Spain.

Now that the weather is getting chillier around here, we’re all about cocktail and puzzle nights. This company is making puzzles awfully chic!

Ten of the best houseplants for the bathroom.

This look on Lydia is one of my favorites of hers — she looks so elegant! And I completely agree with her on prioritizing vintage finds, even if I tend to do that for the home and less for my closet (with the exception of jewelry).

Whenever you sharpen these pencils, you’ll leave behind rainbow shavings.

We made these apple brandy sour cocktails last night to see if they’d be a hit on Thanksgiving. Verdict: yes. However, we’re going to toy around with making them as a batch cocktail to cut down on the hassle of mixing individual drinks on the holiday.

I’m a sucker for a good organizational tool — especially when it’s an analog version since I can’t always get on board with digitally recording everything — and I love Ashley’s home binder for all of the papers that come with homeownership.

Finds Under $50

  • I just placed an order for these coasters. They’re going to look so good with a patina.
  • This affordable oval mirror is so good!
  • I’m all about long-sleeve mini dresses for fall — and for going sans tights as long as possible!
  • I know it’s too early to think about Christmas, but I don’t want my favorites to sell out like this adorable potted faux tree! (We leave for Belgium on Black Friday, so admittedly, I’m hoping to have some holiday decorations up before we leave so our return is festive!)
  • The prettiest coupes!

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.

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.
