Notable Purchases, Vol. 6

November 1, 2024 by jessica Leave a Comment

Not only has it been the season for barn jackets, it has been Old Navy’s time to shine with its selection this year. If you had asked me a few months ago if I’d buy multiple Old Navy jackets this year, I would have scoffed at the suggestion … and yet here we are with three. I started with the viral canvas barn jacket, then fell in love with this quilted one online (it’s thin, but great as a light layering piece), and then found this one in store which must have been an online return as it was the only one and in my size. Kismet.

Better yet, I bought all of them at 50% off — which is basically what you should pay at Old Navy. I almost returned the canvas one because I’m not keen on the feeling of an unlined jacket and how it catches on the fabric of your top. But it has such a nice hint of stretch to it and looks especially cute with striped long-sleeve t-shirts. For the sale price of $30, it earned a spot in my autumn wardrobe.

I also purchased the green Freja Dress from Sezane last month. I bought the grey one back in August and love how cozy it is (and how it doesn’t get stretched out or pilled during the day). My style has been all over the place after the pandemic, and this dress with a pair of tights and ballet flats made me feel like myself again.

And, finally, my annual day planner. I like going analog with my to-do list (don’t worry, I opt for digital calendar reminders for scheduling). This has been my favorite planner for the past three years largely because it breaks down your tasks by week. For my job, that’s more realistic than assigning to-dos to each day.

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.
