CurrentlyCoveting-070715v2
This week, I’m coveting:

  • Sporty details on this dress from LOFT. It’s such an easy piece to throw on with a pair of slides before heading out for the day. I’m also curious to try on this dress in white. The back detail looks so pretty.
  • My most recent purchase: a pair of black Puma sneakers. I can finally cast aside my crutches and go full weight-bearing on my boot for two weeks. After that, it’s sneakers for this gal for another four weeks. I picked up the black pair to mix and match with black and white ensembles for workdays and weekends. I’m also looking for a pair of white slip-on sneakers. I have these in my shopping cart, but I’m open to alternatives. I just don’t want to spend too much on something I probably won’t wear often.
  • This magenta ladylike bag. It’s on sale for $325, which is currently out of my price range, but I really wish it wasn’t. I keep thinking of how fantastic it would look with my green winter coat.
  • These incredible geometric earrings. They’re huge and I love ’em.
  • An easy black dress. Has anyone tried it on yet? It looks like it could be one of J.Crew’s hidden gems.
  • Stila’s glam new packaging for my favorite lip color.
  • Playful pillows. I’m on an apartment redecorating kick and have already picked up a new rug and ordered a coffee table. New couches are a bit out of our budget right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spruce things up with a new set of pillows, right? This pillow from West Elm has the same colors as the Trina Turk version at a wallet-friendly price.

Banana-Republic-Shirred-Blouse-3

Things look a little different around here today, huh? I’ve been itching for a simpler blog theme for awhile. It seemed like a good time to switch when my former theme caused a major site hiccup on Sunday. What I didn’t mess with was this sartorial combination: a loose blouse, short shorts, and a pair of flat shoes. It’s essentially the same outfit I wore last week. Some things are better left alone! (In other news, I have my second round of X-rays today. If all goes well, the boot comes off next week. Fingers crossed!)

Five Under $55

Find-Under-$55-070315

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE

Happy Independence Day weekend! We’re keeping things pretty relaxed this weekend with afternoons at the pool and plenty of burgers, brats, and beer! That and plenty of sale shopping. Here are my favorites:

  • Bauble Bar – take 30% off sitewide with code RSJULY (ends 7/5). I’m all about this pair of gold fringe earrings and this stunning architectural cuff.
  • Charm & Chain – take 20% off sitewide with code FIREWORKS (ends 7/6). It’s a fantastic time to scoop up a piece from favorite designers such as ASHA, Gerard Yosca, or Lulu Frost.
  • Lulu Frost – take 20% off sitewide with code JULY4TH20. The Lulu Frost selection at Charm & Chain is limited. Head directly to the designer’s site to save on a wide selection of pieces. This necklace is high on my must-have list, along with a ring with a secret compartment, and semiprecious stone earrings.
  • DVF – take an additional 25% off all sale items with code JULY25 (ends 7/6). This dress would make for a pretty work piece.
  • J.Crew – take 40-60% off final sale with code LONGWEEKEND (ends 7/6). Final sale makes me nervous, so I usually beeline to the jewelry (always fits!) and beach cover ups (they still look good if you size up to be on the safe side).

Striped-Dress-Puma-Sneakers-12

I’m not sure how ambitious we’ll be this holiday weekend, since I’m still bound to crutches for a couple more weeks, but I’m wearing this for the 4th if we do make it out. I received these sneakers from KicksUSA before I broke my foot and they’ve been a lifesaver. Crutches are much easier with traction! (I tried to wear these and just about broke my other foot.) The shoes are darker and more richly saturated in person than they appear in these photos (weird lighting), which called for a patriotic pairing of red, white, and blue.

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.

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.
