Notable Purchases, Vol. 5

October 9, 2024 by jessica Leave a Comment

  • Sezane ‘Lauren’ sweater – This sweater has already become one of my favorites for autumn. I was a little concerned about yak wool being too itchy, but it’s softer than anticipated. And, it hasn’t pilled yet! The shape of the sweater is a bit oversized and fits similar to how it does in this image with the hem falling right above the hip and slight bracelet sleeves. If you want it to fit like it does in the photo above, then you’ll need to go up a size. I love it so much that I’m likely to purchase the other two colors before the season ends.
  • M&S ridged small hoop earrings – I’ve been into sculptural silver jewelry this season and bought these while I was in London. They remind me of this pair by Jennifer Zeuner.
  • Amazon chunky hoop earrings – These are a great way to dabble in the silver trend if you’re on the fence about moving away from gold jewelry this season. I bought the 25mm size. They look great in person and are lightweight for all-day wear.
  • Madewell sling crossbody bag – You may recall that I bought this bag in straw earlier this year. It’s such a great size to hold all of your essentials (including a case for sunglasses and a backup phone charger). I wore the straw one in Barcelona when I didn’t have my DSLR in tow. Given how much use I got out of it, I bought the all-leather version in advance of our trip to London and have been using it every day since.
  • Adidas ‘Samba’ sneakers – I bought these in the “wonder taupe” colorway. It’s a fantastic neutral color. I find that Adidas runs true to size.
  • Gap ‘CashSoft’ crewneck sweater – While red isn’t my favorite color, I can appreciate the “unexpected red” theory for home and wardrobe. Plus, now I work at the University of Wisconsin with its red-and-white brand colors, so it’s basically workwear. The sweater runs true to size.
  • Leather Hole Puncher (not pictured) – My beloved Paravel travel backpack always hung down too low on my back and I finally bought a leather hole puncher to fix that. This set has multiple hole sizes to choose from. It punched through cleanly and it looks more professional than just using an awl.

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.

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.
