On the Right Foot: The Swimsuit I Bought on Insta, Millennial Cookware, Post-Pandemic Wedding Dress Codes, and More!

July 12, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

My beloved duffel bag is getting a workout this month with overnight stays in Madison (staycation!); central Wisconsin; Minneapolis; Iowa City; and Richmond, Virginia. We’ve already one the first two and welcome suggestions for things to do for the other three!

I was influenced by an Instagram ad and purchased this swimsuit. I love it! It’s comfortable, stays in place, and has the right amount of compression.

Victoria’s Secret is rebranding. While it feels a bit “too little, too late,” I’m all for more realistic body types and shining the spotlight on inspirational, successful women.

This is such a sweet tank top.

The Gossip Girl reboot takes to Instagram for fashion influence. (Have you watched the first episode yet? I watched it last night and I have mixed feelings. I hope it gets better.)

I thought this piece on Great Jones cookware and the illusion of the millennial aesthetic was interesting.

The pandemic’s lingering effects on wedding dress code.

H&M has a few items worth checking out: these slides, a window box in a great shade of green (also in a smaller size), and a striped linen table cloth with coordinating cloth napkins.

Learn more about what minerality means in wine.

How to decline a job offer gracefully.

I’ve joined the wait list for these sandals.

In case you missed it:

  • Feeling good about my emerging gardening skills.
  • We spent the night at the Graduate Hotel in downtown Madison.
  • The prettiest sunset at Dave’s parents’ cabin.
  • A roundup of red bridesmaid dresses I love.

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.
