Perfect Present: Perry Clark Apothecary

September 23, 2015 by jessica 4 Comments

Perry-Clark-Apothecary-10

By the time September rolls around, I usually have a couple of holiday gifts already stowed away for December. They’re just little things from our travels and summer art fairs, like woven dish towels or pottery mugs, but the holiday season is so much easier knowing that a unique gift is already picked out. I’m actually behind the eight ball on my gift-giving strategy this year, though. We’ve been on four trips since February and I took #TreatYoself very seriously.

Now, I know it’s verboten to breathe a word about that magical time of year this early. However, I’m hoping you’ll forgive me knowing that I’ve come across a gift destination worth bookmarking now: Perry Clark Home, a thoughtfully curated shop specializing in artisan products and fine home accessories. Do you have a hard-to-shop-for aunt who insists she has everything she needs? There’s a small-batch lilac candle for her. Friends who just purchased a lake home? A set of charming fishing mugs will do the trick. A budding chef? Try an olive wood cutting board for his latest charcuterie creation. Someone like me? I’m a fan of the lightly scented orange water candle, and the hand soap and lotion set (and I definitely plan to reuse the pretty glass containers). Plus, there’s complimentary gift boxing and free shipping on all orders. You can also take 10% off your order with code BIRTHDAY10 through the end of September.

Zara-Floral-Print-Dress-1

I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore this Zara dress. I love the flirty length, the bell sleeves, and the muted color palette that makes it perfect for warm fall days. I bought it when we were in Georgetown a few weeks ago and wore it the very next day (a sure sign of a great purchase).  Now that I’m home with full access to my jewelry collection, I’ve been pairing it with a long pendant similar to this.

The Weekend Guide

September 18, 2015 by jessica 1 Comment

WeekendGuide091815

To say it’s been a whirlwind week would be an understatement — and I’m sure you gathered that, given my lackadaisical posting schedule! September and October are my busiest work months, so I’ve decided to start posting “The Weekend Guide” a day earlier to give myself more time to get out and enjoy every moment of the weekend with out the pressure of hitting “publish” first. Don’t fret, Friday’s regularly scheduled “Five Finds Under $55” hasn’t disappeared. You’ll find the week’s best budget pieces below. 

BUY
Of all of things to purchase for fall, chartreuse pants top my list. They’re ridiculous, but I can’t help thinking about how cute they’d look with a navy sweater and my beloved mint pumps.

BAKE
Make football Sundays better with a baked cherry tomato, goat cheese, and ricotta dip.

ADMIRE
It’s no surprise that I loved Tory Burch’s spring collection (this!). As always, I’m obsessed with the accessories. Visit her blog to see close-up shots of the jewelry, shoes, and bags that stole the show.

LEARN
Chanel’s iconic two-toned pump in 1957. See how it’s made today.

SNAP
An Instagram of the Eiffel Tower is a must in the City of Light, but photos at these locations will give your followers an unexpected tour of the city.

PLAN
Prague is on Dave’s must-visit list. I’m loving Merritt’s mini travel guide.

FINDS UNDER $55

EARLIER THIS WEEK
The biggest reason I love D.C.
This week’s most coveted pieces.
Pausing at the Spanish Steps.
New artwork!
Still swooning over these loafers.
Is there really such a thing as too many necklaces?

Spanish Steps

SpanishSteps4

Another day, another D.C. post! During a morning stroll past the embassies, Dave suggested we take a short detour to the Spanish Steps in the Kalorama neighborhood. Constructed in 1911, this park is surprisingly secluded and tranquil for being so close to the busy streets of Dupont. I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip to the steps, but it’s a nice stop if you’re in the ‘hood.

SpanishSteps5
Dress: LOFT (old, but I love this and this for fall) | Bag: Tory Burch (similar in black) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker c/o Shopbop (similar for much cheaper) | Sandals: Steve Madden (similar save and splurge) | Bracelets: Hermes, c/o Julie Vos (similar)

The Coveted

CurrentlyCoveting-091515

 

This week, I’m coveting:

  • J.Crew’s new arrivals and especially this relaxed turtleneck at 25% off. I’m also loving this striped sweater, this military-inspired coat, and these glitter flats.
  • A sassy lip-print mini bag that I’m thisclose to buying.
  • A Marni-inspired necklace for just $30 (plus free shipping).
  • The sleek hint of gold on the heel of these ankle boots. They’re under $200 and come in four colors. I’ve tried — and failed — to find a pair of ankle boots every fall for the past three years. These might be the winners. Fingers crossed! 
  • Navy eyeliner.
  • The subtle texture on a jacquard pencil skirt.
  • Pineapple candle holders. (I found a vintage set a few years ago on eBay.)

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.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
