Snapshot

February 12, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Every year, I use a portion of my tax return to splurge on a sartorial item I wouldn’t otherwise purchase. The first year was a DVF wrap dress, the next was a YSL arty ring (back when it was still $195), then a Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag, followed by two years of Kate Spade “Karolina” pumps. I’ve never regretted any of these investment pieces and I’m especially thrilled with this year’s item: a pair of timeless Ferragamo “Varina” flats.

Bauble of the Week

February 10, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Okay, so I might not be dealing with Nemo’s wrath, but Wisconsin has had its fair share of snow this season and I’m more than ready for spring. Wouldn’t these Karry’O earrings be a lovely way to usher in warm weather? 

And the winner is… Congratulations to Stephanie B. for winning the Stella Valle necklace! Thanks again to everyone for entering and making these giveaways possible!

Currently Coveting

February 7, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Right now, I’m coveting:

  • The feminine details of the Dior Couture show, especially this photo
  • A splash of summery turquoise
  • Snow white manicures, even if it reminds me of painting my nails with Wite-Out in middle school. Here’s an Instagram photo of my attempt.
  • Jo Malone’s “Sugar & Spice” collection set to debut in March (but I’m also just a sucker for great packaging)
  • Classic Ferragamo flats in “lava” that will probably be my 2013 tax return splurge
  • This bar cart
  • Structured shorts – I ordered these in “neon rose,” but I’m between sizes and couldn’t make them work. I loved the fabric, though.
  • These darling teeny tiny studs in green quartz

Valentine Gift Guide

February 6, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

I’ve been struggling with finding the perfect gift for Dave this year. (Between Christmas and his December birthday, I’ve exhausted all of my ideas!) Here are a few options to get you started if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect present (or just looking to treat yourself).

For Her

  • Dainty underpinnings in the prettiest shade of pink
  • A ring that’s lovely on its own or stacked with others
  • Dessert plates
  • A playful frock
  • Ladylike earrings
  • A quirky trinket box (preferably with gems inside)
  • Pastel flats
  • A bright card case

For Him

  • Rugged weekender (and overnight plans)
  • Sunglasses in a classic shape, but with an unexpected detail (the arms of these are tipped in orange)
  • An unexpected tie bar, like an anchor or the Chrysler Building
  • A belt perfect for weekends
  • An elegant slim wallet
  • Cologne in his favorite scent (or just one with great packaging)
  • Playful pocket squares

We spent the weekend in snowy central Wisconsin at Dave’s parents’ cabin. As much as I enjoy cozy evenings by the fire, I’m anxious for warm weather and the chance to wear my new shoes.

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.
