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!

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
