On the Right Foot: An Inspiring House Tour, “Clean” Beauty, A Swing Dress to Love & More!

April 19, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

We spent a couple of days in Chicago last week to attend the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit I bought tickets to last fall — and clearly I was very excited to be in a hotel again after more than a year! (We stayed at the new 21c property.) I’ll share a recap of our 48 hours in the city next week!

I don’t think I’ve ever been as inspired by a house tour before!

If you often find yourself with a partially used can of tomato paste, it’s time to try tomato powder. I’m going to try this one the next time I need to place a spice order.

I’m looking forward to the latest installment of Target’s “Designer Dress Collection,” set to launch this spring.

The messy truth of clean beauty.

I didn’t realize you could paint a stand mixer!

I’m long overdue for a closet cleanout. Here are seven questions to ask when going through your wardrobe.

Love food photography? I adore Mia’s account for the pretty photos and the photography tips.

I tried this dress on last week and loved it! The fabric is substantial, it’s lined, there are pockets, and the swingy silhouette is made for girls with wide hips! I just wasn’t keen on the chartreuse hue that was available in store. I think I’m going to order it in that pretty warm cocoa color.

Carrot cake meets coffee cake.

In case you missed it:

  • Finally getting back into the swing of outfit snapshots again.
  • Loved this art installation!

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.

• 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.
