Things I Bought & Loved in June

June 28, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

WARDROBE
See this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • H&M linen t-shirt – I love this t-shirt on hot days but be aware that it shrinks in length even when washing on cold in the delicate cycle and line drying it. I went with my typical size medium at H&M, which still allow for a looser fit. It still has relaxed fit after laundering, just a tad shorter. Consider sizing up if you have a long torso.
  • J.Crew sparkly waterfall earrings – I had overlooked these online, but adored them in person. They’re large and incredibly sparkly, which will be fun when the holiday season rolls around again. They’re a great buy on sale.

HOUSEHOLD

  • Schoolhouse ‘Stillwater’ floral quilt – I just adored this quilt when it debuted and had it on my wish list since, peeking at it every so often and then talking myself out of it since it’s a pricier piece. I gave in this month when our down comforter proved to be just too hot for summer. It’s generously sized and perfectly lightweight without sacrificing quality.
  • Julie Cloutier double bowl – Another piece that was on my long-term wish list made its way into my home this month. I’m not even sure where I first saw Julie’s work, but I immediately fell for her double bowl — perfect for snacking on cherries or olives; just put the pit in the tiny attached bowl! Julie had taken a break from throwing these forms and just recently started taking orders for them again.
  • Crate & Barrel x Athena Calderone pillbox throw pillow – This is not a comfortable throw pillow. Rather, it’s a beautiful decorative piece. My only qualm is that it doesn’t actually have a zipper as the product details suggest. The tags are sewn on the outside. One is easy to tear off, but the other needs a seam ripper. I haven’t tried it yet because I can’t tell if the tag is sewn on with its own small piece of thread or if it’s in the actual seam of the pillow. Either way, it’s a gorgeous pillow and I love the pillbox shape. It coordinates well with the floral quilt on our bed.
  • Loam ‘Community Garden’ candle – I picked up this candle at a small shop in central Wisconsin over the weekend. It’s smells just like a fresh, sweet summer garden. I’m happy to report that the scent is just as pretty when its lit and the fragrance throws throughout the room.

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.

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.
