Friday Five Under $55

June 12, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

Find-Under-$55-062115

  • There’s a killer ASHA online sample sale right now. These gorgeous black onyx and smoky quartz earrings are just $45 (originally $175). Pieces are selling out quickly, so don’t hesitate too long. I purchased these and am seriously considering these. There’s also free shipping.
  • These pretty sandals are now on sale for 40% off. They’re also available in tan.
  • Since I won’t be going in the pool for the first few weeks of summer, I’m looking for a cute romper like this one to wear while I dip my toes in.
  • The dimensions of this bag aren’t online, but it looks like it would carry all of your beach essentials and then some. After summer is over, you could use it as a pretty storage basket in your closet for swimsuits and towels.
  • If you haven’t purchased a S’well bottle yet, you need one. This magical thing keeps beverages cold for 24 hours (seriously) and hot ones at the correct temperature for 12 hours. I have one on my nightstand and one at work. The largest size can hold an entire bottle of wine, making it a picnic essential!
  • Not Pictured: Have you seen these adorable organizers? The canvas bags are screen-printed with travel essentials, like hairdryers, shoes, and swimsuits. I’m planning to snag the dirty laundry one before our next escape. It’s much classier than using plastic shopping bags to bring back our dirty clothes!

Behind the Baubles: ASHA by ADM

Ashley Dodgen McCormick, CEO & Creative Director, ASHA

Ashley Dodgen McCormick started her line in 2005, pulling inspiration from her time living abroad in Florence and Paris while earning her art history degree from Georgetown University. Focusing on top-quality craftsmanship, the artistry of Ashley’s pieces could compete with fine jewelry. I’m particularly drawn to the bone and white topaz pieces for their youthful elegance.

Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last yea Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last year solidified my love of the brand. Each is located in a college town and the brand does a wonderful job bringing in each city’s personality by way of thoughtful design finishes and kitschy details. In recent years, the brand has done a summer promotion to attract travelers to university towns during a typically quiet time of the year. This year was no different. For 30 hours in May, Graduate sold $30 rooms for the month of July. (Each person was limited to one booking.) We thought about going somewhere outside of the Midwest, but with a trip to Europe scheduled for this fall, we opted to stay closer to home and choose a location that we could drive to. And with that, a trip to Evanston, IL was on the books.

I didn’t know much about Evanston attractions, but I figured we’d find enough things to fill 48 hours. If not, Chicago was only a short train ride away. I’m happy to report that my low expectations were unfounded and I was won over by the city’s charming gardens, quaint neighborhoods, and access to Lake Michigan. It’s not to say that there’s a lot to do in the city. There isn’t, at least in the summer. But it has cute pockets all over that make a stay in the suburbs worthwhile.

Find a list of what we did in Evanston on the blog. (Use the search bar and type in "Evanston" to find it.)

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!
