Grey Day

DKNY-Cape-1

I know I shouldn’t complain about the weather here in Wisconsin after the East Coast was pummeled with snow over the weekend, but I’m tired of subzero temperatures and overcast days. To combat my dismal mood, I’ve been daydreaming about our April trip and  — of course — what I’ll pack. It looks like Copenhagen’s average April temperature is 43 degrees, which is basically the start of summer to a Wisconsinite. A new dress or two that I can wear a couple of times on the trip are in order. This tunic dress looks like a comfortable option for exploring the city paired with loafers (love these in silver). If money wasn’t an object, I’d definitely bring along this DVF dress. I’ve had it on my wish list for a couple of months now, desperately waiting for it go on major sale.

Friday Five Under $55

June 12, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

Find-Under-$55-062115

  • There’s a killer ASHA online sample sale right now. These gorgeous black onyx and smoky quartz earrings are just $45 (originally $175). Pieces are selling out quickly, so don’t hesitate too long. I purchased these and am seriously considering these. There’s also free shipping.
  • These pretty sandals are now on sale for 40% off. They’re also available in tan.
  • Since I won’t be going in the pool for the first few weeks of summer, I’m looking for a cute romper like this one to wear while I dip my toes in.
  • The dimensions of this bag aren’t online, but it looks like it would carry all of your beach essentials and then some. After summer is over, you could use it as a pretty storage basket in your closet for swimsuits and towels.
  • If you haven’t purchased a S’well bottle yet, you need one. This magical thing keeps beverages cold for 24 hours (seriously) and hot ones at the correct temperature for 12 hours. I have one on my nightstand and one at work. The largest size can hold an entire bottle of wine, making it a picnic essential!
  • Not Pictured: Have you seen these adorable organizers? The canvas bags are screen-printed with travel essentials, like hairdryers, shoes, and swimsuits. I’m planning to snag the dirty laundry one before our next escape. It’s much classier than using plastic shopping bags to bring back our dirty clothes!

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • All of J.Crew’s new arrivals. Lime isn’t really my color, but I can’t stop thinking about this neon skirt. (This striped skirt is also on my wish list.)
  • A graphic white cuff. It’s a must for spring.
  • Striped kitten heels! I’ve wanted them ever since I spotted this image on Pinterest. (I’m actually really tempted to buy them. They’d be great for work.)
  • This pearl cocktail ring. With Piperlime’s demise on the horizon, I bet we’ll start seeing deeper discounts. Add your favorites to your wish list.
  • A flirty little romper.
  • This bright yellow dress. It’s on sale, so it might be hard to find your size. Check here and here.
  • A pretty pineapple key fob.

PSA: Remember the red dress I wrote about last week? I ended up ordering it and it arrived yesterday. There are two pleats right above the tush. It’s barely noticeable in the stock image and probably isn’t a big deal if you have a straight figure. However, if you’re like me and have ample curves back there, don’t get it. It’s incredibly unflattering.

Friday Find Under $50

Turkish-T towel, $32

A Turkish towel is lightweight, quick-drying and can even be used as a scarf in a pinch. Dave gave me one for Christmas a few years ago and I love that it barely takes up any space in my luggage when we travel. (I haven’t used a traditional beach towel since!)

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
