It’s the Last Day of the Shopbop Sale

Shopbop Sale Picks

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT

Rise and shine, ladies, and get those trigger fingers ready to breeze through the rest of your shopping list on the last day of the Shopbop sale. This is the best time to stock up on spring merchandise that you’ll wear all season, classic pieces you’ll reach for throughout the year, and items that rarely go on sale. (I’m looking at you, Ferragamo.) My top picks are above, but I’m staying strong and saving that money for our trip (even though I’ve wanted those Loeffler Randall sandals forever and the tassels on this bag are incredible). Let me live vicariously through you! What did you buy?

Before you start clicking away, here are a few strategies to make sure you make the most out of this sale event:

  • Check in with your loved ones to see if they have any items on their wishlists from Shopbop or East Dane. You can combine orders to get up to that $1,000 threshold for 25% off.
  • Log in with your Amazon Prime account for fast two-day shipping.
  • If something doesn’t work out, no sweat. Shopbop has a great return policy. (And it’s free.)
  • Items are reserved in your cart for 30 minutes. Add everything you love–especially if there’s low stock–and edit before you check out.

Note: The following brands are excluded from the offer: Canada Goose, Hanky Panky, and Kate Spade New York. Other items excluded from the promotion will have language stating “Shopbop Staple,” “East Dane Staple,” and/or “this item is excluded from the current promotion.” These items are excluded on their product information pages.

The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 03.04.16

ANTICIPATE
I’m so excited that the Finnish brand Marimekko is making its way to Target on April 17. I’ll be overseas at the time, but it won’t stop me for placing an order for a few home goods.

SLEEP
As I mentioned here, I’m having the hardest time with insomnia as I get older. I’m all for trying new techniques before self medicating.

CONSIDER
If there was ever an article that hit home for me, this is it. I’m so tired of shopping and sifting through racks the same ol’ things. I find myself saving up for more unique — and more expensive — items just so I have something that hasn’t saturated the market. (Next up: these.)

DYE
I’m waiting until we buy a house to start my blue-and-white china collection (unless I find great pieces at European flea markets next month). In the meantime, I’m just going to dye eggs like this for Easter.

BUY
Shopbop is having its annual spring sale with a tiered discount. If you have your eye on Ferrgamo Varina flats (and why wouldn’t you?), now’s the time to snag them with a 20% discount. I find that they run true to size.

GIVE
How cute are these mini bouquets?! Add ’em to your Pinterest board for baby showers, bridal showers, or May Day surprises.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
(Honestly, I didn’t do much this week. It was a rough one at work and I can’t wait for the weekend.)
Shared a few of February’s favorite moments.
Posted a summery roundup of covetable items.
Sheepishly admitted to breaking our closet.
Couldn’t wait to go back to Moeder Lambic for brunch.
Tried out a new brewery.
Placed an order for pineapple cocktail napkins on Etsy.

Five Under $55
sunglasses, $12 | earrings, $40 | espadrilles, $48 | necklace, $48 | dress, $48

The Dress that Broke the Closet’s Rack

March 2, 2016 by jessica 13 Comments

Old Navy Pleated Crepe Dress

Sometimes coming up with copy for an outfit post is painful. While I wanted to write, “I bought a dress and I’m wearing it,” that’s glossing over what’s really noteworthy about this little frock.

It broke our closet.

I came home with the dress, eager to pack it in my suitcase for our trip. However, packing over 30 days early seemed a little premature, so I stuck it on a hanger and pushed it into my overstuffed side of the closet. I heard a rumble when I shut the door, but I figured it was just the closet settling at night. (That’s reasonable, right? I mean, a house settles…) Shortly after, I heard a loud crash and threw open the closet door to discover an avalanche of dresses carpeting the floor. Apparently my dress collection had reached critical mass and this eight-ounce piece of polyester (I weighed it) put the closet over its weight limit. I looked at Dave and whimpered, “I think I have a problem…”

The problem, of course, is a shoddy closet in our rental unit that we now have to fix. Because there’s no way I’m going to give up on dresses.

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

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.

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.
