As I mentioned here, the dress I wanted to wear to last weekend’s wedding didn’t allow the luxury of breathing room. Upon this discovery, I may have flung myself on the bed in a fit of dramatized despair before I took it to the Internet and weighed my options: a girdle or a new dress.

A new dress.

I looked at hundreds of dresses and each time the selection left me underwhelmed, I increased my budget and began again. (At one point, I decided $500 would be absolutely reasonable to spend on a panic purchase.) Obviously it was a long night, but I finally found this Erin Fetherston dress on Amazon. It’s everything a cocktail dress should be: feminine, whimsical and irresistibly sweet.

Wedding season is wrapping up with one more celebration in the Twin Cities next weekend. Since a new dress seems frivolous, I’ve been playing around with a few options in my existing wardrobe. This pink drop-waist dress is a serious contender, especially when paired with a lime necklace from Brighthouse Baubles. I’ve always been a fan of a preppy pink and green color combo.

Loving Lately

Lately, I’m loving:

  • A pair of cigarette pants with bow-topped heels. I don’t particularly like pants, but I do like this pair from Banana Republic. The ankle length is ’50s chic and they don’t get baggy throughout the day. (Saggy rear ends are the worst.) I’m hoping BR makes a white pair for spring.
  • This fox coffee mug. I’ve used Google Image Search to locate the original – with fingers crossed that it was available for sale – to no avail. Any ideas where it’s from? I need it in my life. 
  • I’d like to purchase a new coffee table. Ours has seen better days and it’s not really my aesthetic. I’d love something like this. Dings and stains will only make it look better over the years.

This T by Alexander Wang skirt was the first item worthy of being one of my five for the French wardrobe challenge. (Read about the “less is more” philosophy here.) I was worried that paring my shopping down to five clothing items a season would be difficult and send me into panic attacks of deprivation, but as it turns out, one quality piece of clothing is more satisfying than a bunch of cheap thrills. And I love this skirt. I love that it stays full all day. I love that the pockets are sewn into the pleats rather than the side seams. I love that I don’t want another black skirt. (If you have your eye on this skirt, pay attention to sizing on the Nordstrom site. I found conflicting size charts and almost purchased it in a small. There’s no way it would have ever zipped.)

Last Tuesday, I hosted an executive-level networking event at the Air National Guard in an plane hangar. It was a lovely evening, except for the temperature: a humid 90 degrees in September. I was itching for cooler weather after that night, but it still came as a shock when I had to throw on a jacket last weekend. On another note, remember how I mentioned my love for Essie’s “After School Boy Blazer,” a deep navy polish that’s similar to the color of my Hermes bracelet and my car? Well, now it also matches my new Julie Vos ring. I should probably branch out soon.

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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
