The Coveted

This week, I’m smitten with:

All of J.Crew’s new arrivals. Lime isn’t really my color, but I can’t stop thinking about this neon skirt. (This striped skirt is also on my wish list.)
A graphic white cuff. It’s a must for spring.
Striped kitten heels! I’ve wanted them ever since I spotted this image on Pinterest. (I’m actually really tempted to buy them. They’d be great for work.)
This pearl cocktail ring. With Piperlime’s demise on the horizon, I bet we’ll start seeing deeper discounts. Add your favorites to your wish list.
A flirty little romper.
This bright yellow dress. It’s on sale, so it might be hard to find your size. Check here and here.
A pretty pineapple key fob.

PSA: Remember the red dress I wrote about last week? I ended up ordering it and it arrived yesterday. There are two pleats right above the tush. It’s barely noticeable in the stock image and probably isn’t a big deal if you have a straight figure. However, if you’re like me and have ample curves back there, don’t get it. It’s incredibly unflattering.

Summer Lovin’

We’re headed to Fort Lauderdale in one month, which is pretty much the perfect excuse to revamp my summer wardrobe with pieces like this adorable beach tunic (runs large) and the new bag I’m obsessed with. Gerard Yosca also sent over this necklace from his latest collection, Flowerball, which just might be the only gem I pack. (More on the new collection coming soon. It’s a good one!) Well, that and the monkey earrings.

Bauble of the Week

As if Lisa Salzer isn’t busy enough with her own line, her Lulu Frost for J.Crew pieces this season are incredible. This piece tops my wish list. Doesn’t it look like it was plucked straight from an estate auction?

Wardrobe Welcome

March 2, 2015 by jessica 11 Comments

If you couldn’t tell from yesterday’s post, I’ve been on a bit of an earring kick lately. So much so that I’ve actually added two new pairs over the last week: Tory Burch monkey hoops and petite tassels from J.Crew. Even if I hadn’t mentioned it last week, I’m sure you could tell the monkey earrings were destined to be mine. I talked about them last fall, right after the Tory Burch runway when they were available for pre-order, and again when the full spring jewelry collection was online. I purchased them as my annual “Tax Return Splurge,” so even though they’re wildly indulgent, I don’t feel too bad about spending the money on something so quirky. They’re sturdier than I expected and they do feel a little heavy after wearing them for a full day. The other pair, the J.Crew tassels, were an impulsive purchase this past weekend. We spent Saturday night in Milwaukee and stopped at J.Crew (not surprisingly, their store is larger than the one in Madison). I spotted the earrings on a table display as I was leaving and couldn’t resist. They have a nice weight to them, which I wouldn’t have guessed from the stock photo.

Classic Cool

February 23, 2015 by jessica 13 Comments

Saturdays are for playing favorites and, for me, that usually means turning to the classics. Nothing feels more effortless than a striped sweater and a pair of cropped pants (with plenty of stretch!). I actually received the sweater from Garnet Hill last week and it’s already one of my favorite pieces. It’s unbelievably soft and didn’t lose its shape through the course of the day. (I would have worn it again on Sunday if we weren’t getting together with the same people!)

I’ll admit that I didn’t know much about Garnet Hill prior to receiving my sweater. The brand was established in 1976 and was known for introducing high-quality flannel sheets to the marketplace through its mail-order catalog. Even though its product offerings have expanded drastically (Lilly Pulitzer bedding, anyone?), Garnet Hill still prides itself on offering products with fine natural fibers. This cashmere sweater is no different and can I just point out that the stripes match up on the side seams? You know that’s basically the universal sign of good quality. 😉
