Blue Tips

July 27, 2015 by jessica 11 Comments

Dee-Elle-Smocked-Swing-Dress-2

Over the weekend, we headed south to Louisville. We had visited the city twice before and checked off the major sights, so a quick weekend trip was just enough time to visit our favorite haunts, explore local boutiques (I bought an opalescent and brass vase from Scout), try out new bars (Meta had the best craft cocktails), and new-to-us restaurants. It was also my first full weekend without the boot since May! I felt pretty sassy in my Jack Purcell sneakers after a 21c hotel employee told me I had “nice blue tips.”

This dress was a $29 sale find at Nordstrom and it was perfect for the steamy weather in Kentucky. It’s lightweight, fairly breathable, and didn’t wrinkle in my travel bag. The lining is a bit smaller than the overlay, so you’re not at risk of revealing too much in a light breeze. I heeded the advice to size up.

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
