On the Right Foot: The House Dress, Ice Cream Cocktails, Colorize B&W Photos, & More!

August 24, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

Christian Siriano’s home embraces modernist design. It’s not my preferred style overall, aside from that serene bedroom above, but it’s fun to look at!

Artist Juliana Lupacchino is my new favorite Instagram follow.

I’m all about simple, beautiful handbags and this one fits the bill. Better yet, the caramel-brown version has a hot pink lining!

This is an interesting piece on how COVID-19 is impacting the beauty industry. In it, the author shares that lipstick sales have dwindled during the pandemic, which isn’t surprising when it’s just going to be smeared inside of a mask. (Granted, I still wear it for my Zoom calls.)

I added this set of face masks to my growing collection.

All hail the house dress, the quintessential fashion item of 2020.

It’s no secret that Wisconsinites are, um, devoted to their drinking culture and one of its finest examples is the ice cream cocktail. We’ve perfected the boozy dessert drink and you can, too. (Brandy Alexanders are my favorite, but I can’t seem to perfect a dairy-free alternative now that I can’t have lactose.)

Clearly our house shoes need an autumn-upgrade with these slip-on mules.

I shared a link to this inexpensive blanket in a recent roundup and have since purchased it in the lighter green plaid. It’s perfect for cooler evenings outside or by a campfire.

Did you see this amazing tool that colorizes old black-and-white photos? It’s time to pull out those family albums!

Add to cart: the sculptural jewelry from designer Hyun Yu. These earrings are stunning.

I’ve been dreaming about the cheddar and green chile scones we had at Bearded Heart Coffee in Door County (travel guide coming soon!). I’m going to try my hand at making them with this recipe.

In case you missed it:

  • Ten accent mirrors I love.
  • We stained our front porch!
  • That morning light.

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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
