The Coveted

If there was ever a post that illustrated my end-of-summer aesthetic, this is it. I’m all about the relaxed bohemian vibe with these finds:

  • A loose gauze dress from BB Dakota. If you saw my Instagram yesterday, you know I already added it to my wardrobe. It’s on sale for just $50 and fits true-to-size. (I went with a medium.) Find this “Bronwen” style and other BB Dakota sale dresses here. I’m also loving the brand d.Ra for other affordable frocks. There’s a yellow one I’m smitten with.
  • A printed haircalf clutch by Clare V. Thus far, I’ve resisted adding the brand’s signature pouch to my collection. I’m just not sure how much I’d actually use it. This is the first design that makes me willing to risk it.
  • These fantastic fringe earrings. There’s also a matching necklace that I’m equally obsessed with.
  • The perfect nude polish that has just the right amount of pink.
  • A Moroccan pouf. You have no idea how much I want one of these. I’ve been on a huge decorating kick lately. In fact, housewares are pretty much all I look at after work now. Replacing the couches that our cat christened as his scratching post is our next priority, but I’ve been dying to add a pouf to our apartment for the longest time. I originally found this one in faux leather on Lulu & Georgia for $330. However, it looks like you can get the same one here (in leather!) for $200. There’s also a simpler design on sale for $150. There are tons of colors to choose from, but I prefer tan. I think it will age beautifully.
  • Barely there sandals. I’ve never tried Ancient Greek Sandals (Megan loves them!), but these look like the perfect pair for the last few weeks of summer.

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.
