On the Right Foot: An Ode to Birthday Dresses, 30-Minute Meals, Summer’s Must-Have Sweater, & More!

July 19, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Give me a mirror in a historic mansion, estate, palace, or castle and I will take a selfie! This one was from the Turnblad Mansion in Minneapolis, which is part of the American Swedish Institute. We stopped in during last weekend’s trip to the Twin Cities. (Earrings are Chan Luu, dress is Target, and lip color is this one in “Gossip Girl.”)

Speaking of Gossip Girl, this critique of the reboot sums up my feelings after watching the first episode.

Holst + Lee just launched the most adorable rainbow sunglasses.

An ode to the birthday dress.

The craftsmanship that goes into making Moroccan zellige tile is astounding.

Artist Sho Shibuya uses the front page of The New York Times for his daily visual diary.

In need of dinner ideas? Here are 15 options that take less than 30 minutes to make.

This looks like the perfect lightweight sweater for cool summer evenings, especially later in the year when we’re closer to fall. I love it in light walnut.

Love earth tones? This house tour is for you.

Insight into how to answer riddles asked in job interviews.

I enjoyed this piece about Klimt’s muse Emilie Flöge and her influence on Vienna.

In case you missed it:

  • Eight things I like from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
  • You have no idea how much I love this tote bag for road trips. It can also double as a beach bag thanks to its stain-resistant exterior made from recycled water bottles. Get it here! (I’m also all about the limited edition colorway.)

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.
