On the Right Foot: Terrazzo Made of Eggshells, Stir Fry to Make This Week, a Silky Slip Skirt & More!

September 20, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! I didn’t expect to take a weeklong hiatus from the blog, but my time was otherwise occupied between work and a couple of days at Summerfest in Milwaukee where we saw Ludacris and Run the Jewels. And let me just tell you that staying up till midnight two nights in a row is entirely too much for someone in her late-30s! I’m still exhausted and am looking forward to a quieter week.

Making terrazzo tiles out of eggshells!

I adore the understated fall vibes of this collection of taper candles in vintage holders.

We all instinctively know that fast fashion is bad for the environment, but how it’s wrecking havoc in Ghana is a somber reminder to buy what you really love and plan to hold on to.

I saw these rustic pasta bowls over the weekend and they’re absolutely gorgeous in green.

For just $60, this DIYer reupholstered his headboard.

I made this pork and cucumber stir fry last week and it was delish! I used hot ground pork, substituted a jalapeno for the fresno chile, and used mirin instead of Shaoxing wine since that’s what I had on hand. It lends itself well to leftovers.

Speaking of new recipes, the beginning of autumn always makes me excited to get back in the kitchen. Here are the newest cookbooks to get inspiration from.

You is coming back for a third season and I can’t wait!

How good is this slinky slip skirt?!

Have a wonderful week!

On the Right Foot: A Joyful House Tour, Get Control of Your Inbox, Modern Mary Janes & More!

September 13, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

This is such a joyful house tour! Juxtaposing the silver chair with an earthy midcentury-modern desk (above) is brilliant.

Start fall baking with an apple sour cream kuchen.

Door County, Wisconsin is the perfect place for a mini getaway. Read all about our trip and our recommendations here.

I love the bags in Tory Burch’s spring 2022 collection.

Overwhelmed by email? Here are five tips to get it under control. (Tip four has made all the difference with my work inbox.)

I bought these $25 athletic shorts for hiking and I love that they don’t have the built-in underwear that most workout shorts have.

Such a cute pair of updated Mary Jane flats.

I’m curious about the “Autumn Vibes” fragrance I included in this roundup.

Birds may be able to give us early warnings of natural disasters.

Explaining the hype behind exercise dresses.

And, finally, I’m realizing my dream as a toothbrush influencer. I love this one because it has a USB that you can use for charging rather than relying solely on the plug-in. This is a game changer for traveling internationally whenever we can do that again! (I know it’s such a silly thing to be excited about, but truth be told, I was going to ignore them when they slid into my DMs until I saw the USB option. So I figured it worth sharing!)

Have a wonderful week!

On the Right Foot: Your Next Netflix Binge, Now’s the Time to Declutter, Tomato Knives & More!

September 6, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

 Queen Anne’s lace, Door County, Wisconsin

Happy Labor Day! You can find me over at Kimi’s blog today with an interview about my workwear style!

Late summer is the perfect time for decluttering.

I love the original Gossip Girl, but – uh – the relationship between Chuck and Blair wasn’t great…

I was in Door County last weekend where I hiked, filled my camera roll with photos of plants, toured a lighthouse, and stayed at a beautiful new hotel. I have more photos to publish on Instagram this week and a travel guide coming soon!

The most iconic furniture items by decade that decor lovers should know.

The return of long denim skirts is a trend that I’m not here for.

I’m late to the game with ThirdLove bras, but I’m so glad I finally took the plunge. They’re beautiful and they have half-sizes for smaller cups! (Plus, unlike other brands, they don’t restrict those with small cup sizes to just the most basic t-shirt bras.) I bought this one and this one.

Cut up your late-summer tomatoes with the correct type of knife. The serrated blade will prevent you from crushing them.

Have you watched The Chair on Netflix yet? Loved it!

Curious about what I bought and loved last month? Here you go!

On the Right Foot: Behind the Set of White Lotus, Swimmer-Recommended Razors, An Artist to Follow & More!

Carolyn Misterek is the latest artist I’m following on Instagram.

Hate to break it to you, but your cotton tote isn’t that eco-friendly.

Have you watched White Lotus yet? Here’s how the set designers created spaces that accentuated the characters’ story arcs.

We’re in the final stages of selecting a contractor for our bathroom remodel. I came across this helpful list of questions to ask their references.

I’m going to order this art print for our dining room. (I prefer it in the “blue skies” colorway with a walnut wood frame.)

New Barbie dolls include a COVID-19 vaccine developer and other women scientists.

I stayed at four Graduate Hotel properties last month — here’s what I thought of them!

24 plants that will thrive in a bathroom.

Isn’t the jacket in last week’s “The Coveted” so good? That shade of green is perfect!

Olympic swimmers share their favorite razors for getting an ultra smooth shave.

On the Right Foot: A Seaside House Tour, A Trader Joe’s Must-Buy, Moon Gardens & More!

August 23, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

This is a fun house tour to kick off your week.

Here’s what happens if you test positive for COVID while traveling abroad.

There’s a new Girl Scout cookie!

Transforming blanket remnants into cabin wall art.

Speaking of blankets, here are nine throws that will be perfect for fall!

I just ordered this dress and I can’t wait for it to arrive! I bought the gingham one earlier this year, but I think chambray will be more versatile for late-summer and early-fall weekends.

Add Everything and the Elote Dip to your cart the next time you’re at Trader Joe’s. So. Good.

This cake recipe looks heavenly.

Leave it to Martha to introduce me to “moon gardens” and leave me daydreaming about what I’ll be adding to our yard next spring.

I’m not sure I’m ready for these early ’00s trends to make a comeback already!

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.

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.
