Pucker Up with butter LONDON

January 27, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

butter LONDON Plush Rush Lip Gloss and Lipstick review

For years, the extent of my lipstick game was a swipe of semi-sheer, light pink color that didn’t really enhance my looks or brighten my smile. I finally came to my senses and decided to make bright pink lipstick one of my signature items (along with short hemlines and flat shoes, of course). I hadn’t strayed far from my beloved Stila lip color for the last two years, but butter LONDON’s Plush Rush lipstick is stealing my heart and the precious limited space in my pint-sized handbag. The key features of the line are that it increases lip fullness while moisturizing to make your pout feel firmer and smoother. The creamy color is long lasting, and I haven’t noticed any feathering or bleeding throughout the day. (I’ve worn it for two weeks now.) One generous swipe in the morning lasts until midday before eventually fading into a beautiful lip stain. I’ve been pretty much obsessed with the shade “Rebellious” that you can see in this post. The brand also has a long-lasting, high-shine lip gloss in the Plush Rush collection that offers many of the same benefits as the lipstick. The colors are more subdued, of course, but they offer a flirty hint of color on their own and an effervescent shine layered over your favorite lipstick.

Tee for Two

January 16, 2017 by jessica 9 Comments

Banana Republic Signature Modal Tee + Gap True Skinny Ankle Jeans + Tory Burch Plaid Coat

If it’s not already obvious, I am not a jeans and a tee kind of girl. In fact, it’s so rare for me to don a pair of jeans and a tee that one of my friends finds it so shocking when I do that he insists I “look like a real person!” :: eye roll :: It’s not that I necessarily hate jeans and tee shirts, I just feel more like myself in a dress. Plus, no matter what anyone says, a dress is way more comfortable than jeans. (There are no waistbands on a-line shift dresses!)

However, I will admit that there are few things as effortless as a tee shirt for weekend errands — and I just may be coming around to them thanks to Banana Republic’s new Signature Tee Collection. Banana Republic launched the collection earlier this month and it’s filled with tee shirts that are both ultra-flattering and ultra-soft in a range of beautiful colors. I’m wearing the long-sleeve modal tee in Shiraz and I wish there was a way for you to pop through the screen and feel how soft the fabric is for yourself. It’s breathable, a little slinky, and the drape is perfection. Not only does it look great with jeans for a relaxed weekend, you can tuck it into a skirt for work thanks to the pretty scoop neckline. Although, you may want to size down if you’re going to dress it up. Mine is a medium and while I’m usually between a small and medium, this is definitely on the large side. But that’s actually part of why I’m so smitten with it it. It’s unbelievably comfortable, so much so that I’ve also been wearing it around the house with pajama shorts. I basically don’t want to take it off. You can snag the tee for $39.50 for one or $20 each if you buy two or more.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
