Things I Bought & Loved Last Month

September 8, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

It feels like summer was gone in a blink of an eye this year — and beyond that, how are we almost a third of the way through September?! I’m usually good about sharing some of my favorite purchases of the month when they’re timely enough to purchase, but that’s not the case this time around with two Boden sale picks. (I’ve really become a fan of Boden this year. Their pieces are beautiful, well made, and timeless.) Regardless, read on to learn more about what made its way to my closet this year.

Not mentioned below: the dirndl I purchased for Munich’s Oktoberfest later this month. Prost!

WARDROBE
See this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Birkenstock ‘Madrid’ sandals in white – I have these in black and the big buckle version in cognac. The white was a natural addition to my collection. I’d been waiting for them to be restocked for the better part of the summer.
  • Boden ankle tile pointed flats in tan – I’m sorry to share that these are sold out because they’re gorgeous and a unique alternative to a standard pair of ballet flats. They’re perfect for the summer-to-fall transition. I usually wear a size 7 in American sizing, but went with a 38 in these (the 7.5 equivalent). They fit perfectly. I also have my eye on this pair.
  • Boden cashmere sweater in tan – This sweater is wonderfully plush with a slightly oversize fit that manages to remain flattering. I can already tell that I’ll be reaching for this on repeat once it gets cooler out.
  • H&M rib-knit cardigan in beige melange – H&M is always hit or miss for me (and more often a miss), but I was intrigued by this cardigan that’s getting a lot of love online. It runs excessively large. I bought a small, which is more than generous. I don’t find the fit particularly flattering, especially with the wide-cut arms that only look good slightly rolled. However, it’s very cozy. I’m keeping it to wear with black yoga pants and this black tank top on our flight to Europe. It’ll also be wonderful for work-from-home days.
  • J.Crew demi-boot cropped jeans – I love a cropped jean! With cooler days on the horizon, I thought I should at least have more than one pair of jeans.
  • J.Crew seaside linen-blend shorts in black – I have the older version of these in olive, but this year’s version is so much better. They managed to improve the cut to make it more flattering and the material doesn’t get as baggy as the previous iteration did. It’s definitely worth snagging a pair.

HOUSEHOLD

  • Target linen-blend cloth napkins – These are just $10 for a set of four! The color is a beautiful, rich pumpkin brown that’s perfect for autumn table settings. Don’t sleep on these.

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.

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.
