The Coveted

The Coveted 06.04.18

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE

When I came across this linen skirt, it reminded me so much of the dress I wore in yesterday’s post that I just had to include it this week’s “The Coveted” roundup. It would look darling with a white camisole and leather slides, like these or these, and a rich brown bag. The net tote bag above is obviously inspired by Staud’s of-the-moment bucket bag, but at a much more affordable price for those just looking to dapple in the trend. There’s also this bag if you’d like a more-than-just-inspired-by (ahem, knock off) version.

My Favorite Dress in Austin

June 4, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

What to Wear in Austin, TX

This dress was undoubtedly my favorite thing to wear in Austin, so much so that I wore it our first full day in the city and then again another afternoon. I bought it last year from Urban Outfitters and the cotton dress is so breezy and, better yet, doesn’t need a bra. It’s amazing how much cooler you feel once you ditch a thick layer of foam! Now, I realize that not everyone is able to pull that off (it’s one of the perks of having a small chest), so I put together a roundup of some of my favorite pro-bra and anti-bra dresses from the retailer below. (I don’t know about you, but I never think to shop at Urban Outfitters until I need an inexpensive summer dress, and they’re a gold mine of hot-weather frocks. This one is my favorite of those linked in the widget below because of the pretty green and white pattern. I’m also a fan of this one.)

Urban Outfitters dress (old; similar, love this one) | Tory Burch tote (old; I wasn’t able to find a similar one, but it’s the “Kerrington” style if you’d like to search on eBay.) | Sam Edelman sandals (also love these) | Wendy Mink earrings (c/o; similar here and here) | Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses (old; similar)

The Comfiest Loungewear

February 12, 2018 by jessica 3 Comments

Garnet Hill Easy Knit Organic Cotton Pajamas

It’s not uncommon for me to slip into loungewear the moment I get home from work. The change in uniform is a signal to wind down and relax after a long day, and it feels perfectly indulgent to wear something unfussy. However, there’s a fine line between comfortable and sloppy, and I never want to veer into the latter even when I’m at home! That’s why I’m crazy about this comfortable sleepwear set from Garnet Hill. The painterly stripes of the matching set feel modern and pulled together without looking juvenile, but the best part is that they’re made from Green Cotton. Farmed without harmful pesticides or chemical defoliants, organic Green Cotton fibers are refined using less water, less energy, and less pollution.

Loft Bell-Sleeve Top

January 29, 2018 by jessica 3 Comments

Loft Striped Bell Cuff Top

Forty degrees felt downright tropical when I took these photos on Saturday. The warm(ish) weather was such a welcome break from the frigid temperatures we had been experiencing and a fantastic excuse to break out the LOFT bell sleeve t-shirt I picked up a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to wear it with my red DVF bag, but came across this one as I was rifling through my closet. I’m still as enamored with the design as I was when I first purchased it. However, it doesn’t fit the current iPhone rendering it virtually useless now. I bought it when I had an iPhone 5s (I think) and it was a tight fit then. Anything larger needs to find a home in a pocket (or, you know, Dave’s pocket). Despite this, I can’t bear to part with it. I love the design too much, but I won’t be adding too many more mini bags to my collection again!

The Coveted

The Coveted 01.23.2018

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE

Between this week’s The Coveted and last week’s edition, two things are obvious: I’m craving neutrals for spring and Cult Gaia’s upcoming collection has captured my fancy. The bag I’m most interested in is this one. I love the petite size and the flat, footed bottom that will allow it to rest on surfaces easier than the ubiquitous half-moon bag we’ve all embraced.

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
