What I Bought In December

December 27, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

Wardrobe Update December 2018

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season! I feel like a broken record when I sheepishly acknowledge an unexpected blog break, but I needed the time to get everything checked off my to-do list during the frantic season. Now that the busiest weeks are over, I feel like a weight has been lifted and I have so much more free time again.

On the sartorial front, like last month, I didn’t purchase many items, but I did welcome plenty of new things to my wardrobe with some generous gifting by my loved ones. Dave gave me a new beach tunic for our upcoming trip to Florida, a monogrammed pouch, a glittery pair of studs, and the scarf I’ve been crushing on; my parents gave me this oversize pendant necklace; and my grandma let me rifle through boxes of her vintage jewelry to snag whatever captured my fancy. (That treasure trove included a pair of on-trend colorful, translucent lucite earrings that I can’t wait to wear.)

PURCHASED
See all of this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • J.Crew ruched bandeau one-piece swimsuit – Dave’s parents rented a Florida condo for the month of January, so we’re planning to visit them for a long weekend. Few things make me more excited to hit the beach than a new swimsuit. I already have this one in red, so I knew the true-to-size swimsuit would fit me. I love the colors of the dark floral print.
  • & Other Stories hanging pendant earrings – I was like a kid in a candy store when we were at & Other Stories in New York. I didn’t have much luck when it came to clothes, but I did fall in love with a couple of pieces of jewelry including these earrings and a ring that isn’t available online at the moment. The earrings are stunning. They’re sculptural and eye-catching without being too over-the-top for daytime wear.
  • Banana Republic chunky metallic crew neck sweater – This was a surprising hit of the holiday season. The metallic flecks make it festive, and the slouchy shape means you won’t feel uncomfortable after indulging in too many cookies! I wore it to just about every casual gathering in December from getting drinks with friends to hosting my parents. I even wore it to work with an a-line black skirt and black ballet flats. It runs large, so you’ll want to go down at least one size.

DIDN’T WORK OUT

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
