An Easy Travel Outfit

October 1, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

The older I get and the more I travel, the less likely I am to pack clothes specifically for outfit photos on vacation. I gravitate more and more to the classic pieces that make up the foundation of my closet and are, quite frankly, my preferred items to wear anyway. (It’s amazing how creating a capsule wardrobe in a carry-on suitcase forces you to define your style.) This was one of my favorite outfits from our recent trip to Seattle. It was comfortable for exploring the Ballard and Fremont neighborhoods, and a tote bag made it easy to stash the things I bought during the day.

It’s time for the BaubleBar Friends & Family Sale! A 25% savings with code FF25 makes it the perfect time to stock up on spring jewelry. I’m eyeing these knot earrings, cascading floral chandeliers, eye-catching flower earrings, and these modern hoops.

The Best $49 You’ll Spend This Season

March 5, 2018 by jessica 2 Comments

Leith Racerback Shift Dress

I’m not going to shut up about this dress anytime soon. Can you blame me, though? For $49, this wardrobe workhorse is the number one item you should add to your spring shopping list. The basic, no-frills shape makes it incredibly versatile. I’ve worn it just like this for work, with sneakers, and to an evening event with my favorite Lele Sadoughi necklace (this one). I love the dress so much that I also ordered the pink one to try. It ended up being kind of sheer, so I’d recommend sticking with the classic black option. (Going with the tried-and-true classics is my favorite budget-friendly tip. It’s hard to tell if something like a little black dress is a cheap thrill. Inexpensive prints and brights typically look cheap, so I save up for pricier versions of those.)

One Dress, Four Ways

One Dress, Four Ways: Leith Racerback Shift Dress

I recently purchased this $49 little black dress and I’ve been overjoyed with how versatile it’s been. I’ve already worn it to a cocktail event, to work, and I’ve been playing dress up with my new gingham clutch (a steal at Target!) while dreaming of warmer weather to wear it in! I’ve put together four outfit ideas for styling this dress in the coming months, and kept the colors neutral because there’s a good chance you already have similar basics in your closet. One quick note about the fit: the dress runs true to size if you have slimmer hips. I went up a size to give myself a more comfortable, looser fit around my hips and thighs.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
