Pearls & Polka Dots

May 22, 2017 by jessica 6 Comments

ASOS polka dot dress & Zara pearl sandals

When I bought these sandals in March, I knew I wanted to wear them with a polka dot dress from ASOS that I received from a collaboration with the company a couple of years ago. I hadn’t worn the dress in awhile and had almost considered donating it since it didn’t meet the “wear at least once a year” rule. I’m glad I kept it. The sandals have given me a renewed interest in the frock and reminded me of just how fun it is to wear it. Situations like these are exactly why it’s so difficult for me to get rid of items in my closet. I never know when I’ll want to reach for an item again. So, instead of abiding by the “one in, one out” rule or the advice to keep only pieces worn within the last 12 months, I keep any piece that feels special. If my heart can’t bear the thought of losing it, then I know it’s a keeper and that I’ll eventually make my way back to it. I know there’s a lot of pressure with blogging to only keep the newest items that have current affiliate links, but it’s so much more satisfying to revive an old piece with a new accessory.

Garnet Hill Essential Linen Shirt

It’s no surprise that summer is my favorite season, and every spring day that has even a hint of something warmer in the forecast has me reaching for summer staples to debut, like this breezy linen tunic from Garnet Hill. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Garnet Hill on a couple of posts over the past few months (here and here) and I’m always delighted with the brand’s classic cuts and high quality pieces. This particular piece is crafted from flax grown and handpicked in France, and promises to get softer with every wash. It’s such a classic piece that pairs well with other closet mainstays, like denim shorts, but will look just as chic over a swimsuit when the weather really heats up!

Also, can we take a moment to admire just how fantastic and on-trend this little bag is?! I picked it up at Target after seeing it on Cathy’s Instagram Story. It’s really soft for being faux leather, and I can’t get enough of the oversize ring handle. (The cross-body strap is removable.)

Hola From NOLA

It’s so hard to be back in Wisconsin after a wonderful trip to New Orleans! I loved the architecture, the easy-going nature of the city, and the weather–even if the humidity made my hair limp 15 minutes into the day! Even though we were there for a short amount of time, having the opportunity to debut my spring and summer clothes was such a nice respite from tights and wool sweaters! In addition to this wig, which is perfect for hot and humid weather with light, crisp cotton, I’ve been all about this pair of sunglasses that GlassesUSA sent over right before our trip.

GlassesUSA was founded with the mission to provide fashion-forward eyewear without the high price tag of designer brands, and they absolutely nailed it with their house brand Muse with the M0527 style that I’m wearing here. The oversize lenses have a flattering cat-eye shape and a unique matte finish. GlassesUSA carries more than just sunglasses, of course. If you’re in the market for a new pair of prescription glasses, you’ll be delighted to know that a complete pair with frames and lenses starts at $48. Prescription lenses are included free with every frame!

This blister block does wonders.)

Be Mine + A Giveaway from Helen Ficalora

February 2, 2017 by jessica 6 Comments

BB Dakota Jacqueline Lace Shift Dress

Happy almost-Valentine’s Day, ladies! Dave and I aren’t big on celebrating on Feb. 14 with anything more than a heart-shaped pizza and the heart-shaped balloon that accompanies it. In fact, today is actually the special occasion for us as we celebrate six years together! Back in 2011, we met online and chatted for a couple of days before we decided to say hello in person on Feb. 2. The Madison area had a blizzard the night before and the city was all but shut down, but there was one restaurant open nearby and we figured that a little snow (ahem, almost two feet of snow) couldn’t get in the way of a budding romance. While it was an adventurous drive, we made it safely and the rest was history!

I absolutely love that we have two days to celebrate each other in February. And in celebration of a month of romance and sweet gestures, I’m thrilled to partner with Helen Ficalora for a giveaway of this adorable “XOX” disk charm necklace! If you’re not already familiar with the designer’s work, think of her collection as a the ideal place to create a sentimental piece for someone special. You can personalize the necklace by mixing and matching charms in various metals to capture your recipient’s personality. While I love the “XOX” charm necklace on its own with this LRD (little red dress), it’s even cuter paired with one of the brand’s initial charm disks.

Alright, I know you’re eager for me to get to the good stuff. Here are the deets: one lucky U.S.-based reader will start her own Helen Ficalora collection this Valentine’s Day with the same charm necklace I’m wearing in this post! You can enter via the giveaway form at the end of the post. Good luck!

Tee for Two

January 16, 2017 by jessica 9 Comments

Banana Republic Signature Modal Tee + Gap True Skinny Ankle Jeans + Tory Burch Plaid Coat

If it’s not already obvious, I am not a jeans and a tee kind of girl. In fact, it’s so rare for me to don a pair of jeans and a tee that one of my friends finds it so shocking when I do that he insists I “look like a real person!” :: eye roll :: It’s not that I necessarily hate jeans and tee shirts, I just feel more like myself in a dress. Plus, no matter what anyone says, a dress is way more comfortable than jeans. (There are no waistbands on a-line shift dresses!)

However, I will admit that there are few things as effortless as a tee shirt for weekend errands — and I just may be coming around to them thanks to Banana Republic’s new Signature Tee Collection. Banana Republic launched the collection earlier this month and it’s filled with tee shirts that are both ultra-flattering and ultra-soft in a range of beautiful colors. I’m wearing the long-sleeve modal tee in Shiraz and I wish there was a way for you to pop through the screen and feel how soft the fabric is for yourself. It’s breathable, a little slinky, and the drape is perfection. Not only does it look great with jeans for a relaxed weekend, you can tuck it into a skirt for work thanks to the pretty scoop neckline. Although, you may want to size down if you’re going to dress it up. Mine is a medium and while I’m usually between a small and medium, this is definitely on the large side. But that’s actually part of why I’m so smitten with it it. It’s unbelievably comfortable, so much so that I’ve also been wearing it around the house with pajama shorts. I basically don’t want to take it off. You can snag the tee for $39.50 for one or $20 each if you buy two or more.

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.

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.
