Windy City

July 24, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

It’s moving week! And, as I’m sure you’ve guessed it, there won’t be a lot of content on the blog — again — as we finish up packing and move into our house on Thursday! It’s been a whirlwind lately and I can’t wait to finally be living in just one spot. We carved out some time for fun this weekend and headed down to Chicago to explore the city for a couple of days. We really didn’t do a whole lot other than wander around and pop into some of our beloved bars and restaurants. We added Homeslice to our growing list of favorites. The place looks like a log cabin and they serve your beer in a koozie! (Our server let us take a couple of them home!) On the sartorial front, I’ve been living in pajama-esque clothing lately. It’s been far too hot for anything form-fitting and clingy! This impulse-buy from LOFT is one of my favorite ensembles lately. The cami and shorts look cute with other items, but they’re better together as a more practical take on a romper. (The cami runs true to size for your bust, but the midsection is flowy, and the shorts run large.)

The Coveted

We finally picked out our first piece of art for our new home: Sombras by Lulaloo. It’s moodier than I had planned on, but Dave put the kibosh on adding more tropical-inspired artwork to our ever-growing collection of beach prints. I may have grumbled at our first design compromise for the new house, but it really is a gorgeous, sophisticated piece that will serve as the focal point of the room — especially since we’re going big with the 44-inch square print! I can’t wait to see it in person. Elsewhere in the house, we’ll do a gallery wall where I’d like to add this sweet print by Aspacia Kusulas.

*The first eyelet band is in a saucy location, so you’ll need a half slip with this dress. I’m wearing this one.

Florals for Spring

February 13, 2017 by jessica 8 Comments

I know we still have awhile to go before spring is officially here. (Thirty-four days, in fact, It’s not like I’m counting down or anything.) However, I just couldn’t resist breaking out my latest wardrobe addition this past weekend when the temperatures flirted with the above-freezing mark. This dress is, without a doubt, my favorite piece for spring. I love the long sleeves and shirt detailing at the top that make it appropriate for work. I love the swingy, gathered skirt that hits right above the hips. And I especially love the wallet-friendly price tag of just $58. It’s not often that one of my go-to pieces comes in at such a low price, but it’s serendipitous when it does!

P.S. There are just a couple of days left to win a sterling silver charm necklace from Helen Ficalora. More details here!
