On the Right Foot: Cyber Monday Sales I’m Eyeing, Creating a Scent Memory, the Lure of Posh Packaging, & More!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season! Things are starting to get festive around here. We hung the garland on the banister, put Christmas lights on the outside of the house, and broke out our collection of holiday music on vinyl. We’ll get our tree on Friday, which is when we’ll decorate the rest of the house. I can’t wait!

There are so many great sales today! I haven’t narrowed down my shopping list yet, but here are the sales I’m eyeing up: ThirdLove’s Cyber Monday deals, Tory Burch (30% most items and an extra 50% off sale), an extra 15% off the Black Friday sale at Julie Vos, 50% off at Banana Republic (this dress!), and up to 50% off everything at Kate Spade (I ordered a pair of fancy flats that’ll look cute with jeans or a little black dress).

Create a scent memory the next time you travel.

Modern heirlooms to get and give this holiday season.

Enjoy the week!

On the Right Foot: Mental Health Benefits of Early Holiday Decorating, A Shimmery Cocktail Dress, the Best Air Purifiers & More!

Yesterday marked our unofficial kickoff to the holiday season with a Friendsgiving celebration, and it was incredible to think about what a difference a year makes. Last year, it was just Dave and me celebrating a quiet day together with more food than two people could possibly eat in a day (but a week’s worth of leftovers was appreciated!). This year, things feel closer to what they were pre-pandemic and I’m thankful for the opportunity to take part in those traditions again. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

On the Right Foot: The Best Winter Candle is on Sale Today, an Updated Thanksgiving Side, the Claw Clip is Back & More!

November 15, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Thank you for all of your well wishes on Instagram over the past couple of weeks. My eye muscle surgery went well and I’m on the mend! Cosmetically, my eye is finally straight and not turned inward. But more importantly, I can see! I didn’t realize that my depth perception was essentially non-existent. Everything pops more than it did before! I had been seeing everything like a one-dimensional photograph with a slight bokeh around the edges of objects. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s kind of like getting glasses for the first time and you can finally see the detail that didn’t exist before. It’s really incredible and I’m beyond grateful for the surgical team.

The latest issue of Bon Appetit was filled with can’t-wait-to-make-it recipes. I’m going to start with roasted brussels sprouts with gochujang brown butter.

This home tour is a good reminder that layering neutrals is anything but boring.

Bookmark this recipe for a classic Manhattan cocktail.

Save 20% on the best winter candle today only! The glass can be repurposed for cocktails later, making it a wonderful gift as well.

How pearls obtain their symmetry.

The claw clip of the ’90s is back.

The trailer for the Sex and the City reboot has been released.

The prettiest neutral Christmas decorations.

The dress I ordered didn’t work out (it ran a bit small and the quality doesn’t justify the price). I still wanted something new to wear when I see extended family over Thanksgiving weekend and ordered this blouse to try. Fingers crossed that it works!

I love this moody space.

I hope you have a lovely week!

If you can’t snag reservations to stay in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment, at least you can get the paint colors.

I hope you 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

• 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.
