Things I Bought & Loved in August

August 31, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

WARDROBE
See this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Barbour stretch ‘Cavalry’ quilted jacket – We’re going to Switzerland this October and I wanted a waist-length puffer jacket that would keep me cozy on our Alpine days but could easily be packed away in a backpack if the weather warms up. Not only did this Barbour jacket check of my must-haves, it’s also extremely flattering for a puffer with the knit paneling on the sides to give it shape and the chevron quilting. I also love that it has a double zipper and snaps on the back to allow for some give around the hips if needed. Go up a size if you think you’ll be wearing it with thicker sweaters. My regular size was great with a long-sleeve t-shirt, but got too snug when I put something more substantial underneath.
  • Warby Parker ‘Augusta’ sunglasses – I can’t walk into Warby Parker and leave without a pair of sunglasses. What I loved about the frame isn’t just flat across the front. Instead, the frame is concaved between the edges of the frame and the lenses. It’s a fun refresh for my sunglasses collection, especially since I’m never going to get on board with the tiny sunglasses trend.
  • H&M rib-knit sweater with collar – I’m going to wear this all fall with jeans. It’s cozy, but still pulled together enough to wear to work. I went down a size.
  • Madewell ‘Lucie’ floral print dress – I’m on the fence about this dress, even though I’ve kept it. We bike a lot with our friends to go out for happy hours or dinner and I don’t always love wearing shorts to do so — I’m not graceful enough to bike without shorts under a dress. I’ve been adding a few dresses to my wardrobe that are dark enough that I can wear bike shorts underneath that stay concealed. This dress seems a bit twee for my style, but it’s pretty cute paired with strappy sandals, a woven bag, and ’70s-inspired sunglasses. I went up a size for length since the smocked top fit similarly in my regular size.
  • Target crewneck cashmere-like pullover sweater – This is such a hit from Target! It’s so soft that it has me eager for sweater weather. I went up a size because it’s cropped and I preferred the extra length to half-tuck into my waistband.
  • J.Crew seaside short – I have these in black and wear them all the time, so I added navy to the mix this summer.

HOUSEHOLD

  • Target woven pumpkin – Target does such a great job with its annual pumpkin lineup. Mine was actually from the “Dollar Spot” for $3 and is slightly different. I have this one from last year, though, and I love that it’s autumnal without being garish.

On the Right Foot: Bottega Earring Dupes, What Happens to Returned Items, The Most Perfect Emerald Green Dress & More!

August 28, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

I could get on board with a cabin if I could take inspiration from this retro-meets-modern getaway.

Schoolhouse launched a Labor Day sale this week with 20% off $250 or more and 25% off $500 more. It’s a good time to buy a splurge-worthy item you have your eye on.

A fascinating read on what happens to the items you return.

Don’t sleep on this sweater at Target. It’s cozy and soft, and you don’t have to be too precious about it at that price point. I went up a size because it’s cropped and I wanted a bit more length.

A guide to growing garlic. You’ll want to get it into the ground late fall.

Love these Bottega earrings, but not the price tag? This “inspired by” pair looks like a good alternative — especially for $8.

I can’t stop thinking about this beautiful emerald green jacquard dress. It’s far too early to talk about the holidays, but it’s reason enough to make sure my calendar has a fancy fete on the horizon. It’s perfection!

Have a wonderful week!

On the Right Foot: 2010s Fashion, Halloween Decorations to Buy Now, Chaos Gardening & More!

August 21, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

A few autumnal pieces to add to your wish list now. (I’m snapping up that classic Tory Burch bag the moment it goes on sale.)

The 2010s are making a fashion comeback.

True for all cat owners.

A few photos from our fall trip to Amsterdam that I hadn’t shared on the feed previously.

I love the idea of “chaos gardening.”

Making the case for capitalizing “White” in addition other racial and ethnic identifiers like Black and Brown so that “White” isn’t inherently though of as the standard or the norm. (This is definitely worth a read if you’re involved with any type of content creation professionally or as a hobby.)

How good is this slip skirt in the greenhouse floral print?! There’s also a matching shirt.

The wood-paneled bar cubby in this home is adorable!

It’s way too early for Halloween decorations, but the good stuff goes fast. I have my eye on these ceramic skulls and an adorable pair of ghosts.

On my must-bake list.

Enjoy your week!

I recently repainted the wall in our bedroom (that’s closer to a green-blue-grey IRL) and it’s serving up fall vibes with the faux maple stems that are hanging out just until our new lamps arrive.
