Currently Coveting

April 18, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Right now, I’m coveting:

  • An easy shift dress in stripes, of course
  • A pretty porcelain tray to corral gems
  • A set of mint julep cups, just in time for the Kentucky Derby
  • Contrasting bowls stacked in the cupboard
  • The Egyptian-inspired print on this airy scarf
  • Mirrored shoes with a criss-cross ankle strap
  • A cheerful cherry red purse

Cocktail Countdown

December 28, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

Ring in the new year with a cocktail countdown! Five drinks in one night might be a little ambitious. I’d rather start with one today and work through the list one day at a time, ending on New Year’s Day. It’s a festive way to celebrate without the risk of detox.

5. Rosemary Gin Fizz – A sparkly drink that takes minutes to make and packs a punch

4. In the Pink – A blend of grapefruit, pomegranate and a generous splash of vodka (make this one ahead of time and keep it in a pitcher)

3. Bakewell Sour – A cherry-laden dessert drink

2. Bittersweet Negroni – A kumquat garnish adds an unexpected twist to a classic concoction

1. Cans of Sofia – If you make it this far, you’ll appreciate the ease of opening a can of bubbly

Cheers!

December 7, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

  • Sending holiday greetings
  • Kate Spade’s newest pattern: Birds Over Arches
  • Cocktails crafted with Royal Rose simple syrup
  • Woodsy cocktail picks
  • Cozy colorful sweaters (a must have in Wisconsin)

Inspire It | Wear It

November 20, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

Four things contribute to a satisfying holiday season: gatherings of loved ones, gobs of glittery ornaments, glasses filled with holiday spirits, and, of course, a fabulous frock is a must! The new-to-me site, MissesDressy, has cocktail dresses in every shape and sequin color imaginable (and prom dresses to suggest to the younger ladies this spring). 

I’m one click away from ordering those glamorous cocktail picks. They’ll look divine on the bar cart I have yet to acquire.

Shop It: Kate Spade ornament // cocktail picks // Zara Home glass // MissesDressy dress // Bijoux Heart earrings // Gianvito Rossi shoes

Weekend Snapshots

July 16, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment


Weekend Snapshots:

  1. A fallen leaf makes for a pretty color combo in the pool
  2. Sipping on a Singapore Sling – it’s time for classic cocktails to make a comeback
  3. A waxy bottle cap from New Glarus’ Wisconsin Belgian Red – there’s over a pound of cherries in each bottle and I’m sure it would make an excellent float with vanilla ice cream
  4. We went to see Ted on Friday night. It wasn’t very good. If you watched the trailer, then you saw all of the funny scenes.
  5. Friday afternoon floating in the pool – we were the only two there for hours

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
