On the Right Foot: Martinis are Back, Cheerful Summer Earrings, Surprising Uses for Lemon Juice, & More!

May 2, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

I went to the botanical gardens yesterday to see what was in bloom and get inspiration for our own yard. I fell in love with the pretty white and blue flowers of the puschkinia plant and the dense ground cover it provides in early spring. I’ll be planting some blubs in the fall.

A roundup of items I have my eye on. I actually ordered the bench for our bedroom. I signed up for restock notifications months ago and immediately bought it once it came back.

This snack cake uses an entire orange — including the peel!

The martini is making a comeback.

Here’s what I bought and loved last month.

What the fitness industry doesn’t understand.

These earrings are so much fun for summer!

On the Right Foot: When to Replace Your Bakeware, “It” Plants, A Great Dress for the Office, & More!

April 25, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Holy moly, friends, I didn’t mean to go dark for most of April! We’ve been knee-deep in our bathroom renovation (and going over budget), had some computer hiccups that kept me away from the blog, and it’s my busiest time of the year at work. I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things again soon!

I adore this home tour!

The difference between an interior “decorator” and “designer” — and the history of the latter.

Cultivating the latest “It” plant.

I just ordered this work-appropriate faux wrap dress in an easy to wear jersey fabric.

Emily Henderson’s team reviewed popular styles from Summersalt. I loved seeing how the styles look on different body types and I’m now tempted to order this one in olive!

On the Right Foot: The Muscles Walking Tones, Popularity of Regency-Era Shows, Jewelry Trends & More!

April 4, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

There’s a travel guide featuring the cities visited in Killing Eve.

Here’s what I bought and loved last month.

If you need motivation to get out for a stroll, here are the muscles that get a work out during a walk.

Why are Regency-era shows so popular?

Etsy sellers are going on strike.

This citrus cake looks so good! I’m going to make it later this week.

A cute retro-inspired dress for spring.

This year’s jewelry trends.

Is Vaseline or Aquaphor better for hydration?

Aren’t these $15 earrings adorable?!

On the Right Foot: BR Gets a Glow Up, A Food Photographer to Follow, Three Days in Charleston & More!

I didn’t watch the Oscars last night — aside from “that clip” between Will Smith and Chris Rock — but I did enjoy seeing the red carpet looks. Zendaya was my favorite of the night.

Here’s where things are at with the main bathroom renovation. The powder room is almost complete and I’m looking for pretty accessories to style it, like a new soap pump.

This food photographer is a new Instagram follow for me. I love her work!

Americans are obsessed with organization, but we really need is less stuff.

This $20 dress looks like it’ll easily become your go-to frock for casual summer days.

Banana Republic is getting a glow up.

A three-day itinerary for Charleston that makes me eager to go back!

This is an awfully chic kid’s room!

We might be calling Machu Picchu the wrong name.

This fragrance is so good that I’ve made it our home’s signature scent with candles and the linen spray.

On the Right Foot: Embracing Vintage Tile, Studying History with Fashion, Spring Garden Ideas & More!

March 21, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Happy first Monday of spring! To celebrate the return of warmer weather, I treated myself to this beauty of a bag. It’s so pretty and eye-catching, and I am just head-over-heels with it! (It’s also available here for 30% off.) It’s refreshing to add a seasonal statement-maker to my closet after two years of schlepping it in yoga pants and sweaters.

On the topic of refreshes, our tile is installed in the powder room and it’s gorgeous! The sink was installed on Friday and we’re hanging the mirror today. The team had used a plumb bob to center the sconce over the sink, however our room isn’t level (#OldHouseProblems) and the sconce is about a half inch too far to the right. So, the team will be scooting that over today so it’s all lined up correctly. They’ve also made a lot of progress on the main bathroom upstairs. It’s all of the behind-the-wall stuff right now, but I’ll share an update later this week. While I love those surprising before-and-after reveal posts as much as the next person, I think it’s important to share snippets of the process for a “real” person with a budget so you know what to expect.

I didn’t realize that some of the characters in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were based on real people. (Spoiler warning for those who haven’t watched the season four finale.)

Love unique drinkware? Check out these beauties on Etsy. I also like the maker’s heat-resistant glass mugs.

Going monochrome in this bathroom makes the vintage tile feel intentional.

Meet the woman who uses fashion to study history.

Here’s why you look rough after a bad night’s sleep.

How sweet is this swimsuit?!

I’m determined to practice my gardening skills even more this year and enjoyed scrolling through these ideas.

This made me laugh. We all have that coat that can be worn for just one a day a year!

Have a wonderful week!

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.

• 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.

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.
