Things I Bought & Loved: May 2022

May 25, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

WARDROBE
See this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Madewell packable straw visor in natural ($10) – I put my $25 birthday coupon toward this cute visor to put on when we’re hanging out on the deck and our umbrella just can’t shield all of the sun. The malleable material makes it easy to roll or fold to tuck into a tote bag, too.
  • Madewell linen shorts in gingham ($55) – Aren’t these shorts just the sweetest? They’re a welcome alternative to the solid pairs I normally wear in the summer. They fit true to size.
  • Boden fixed wrap jersey dress ($88) – If you’re back to in-person work events or meetings, get this dress. It’s easy to wear, breathable, flattering, and it has pockets. It also looks pretty cute with sneakers. It runs true to size. Be sure to fold it rather than use a hanger to avoid any stretched-out shoulders.
  • Boden ruffle detail linen top ($80) – I’ve been such a fan of Boden this year. Their pieces are crafted so beautifully and this pretty top is no exception. It has a cute vintage-inspired print, straps that are wide enough to hide bra straps, and the linen fabric is substantial yet breathable.
  • Joe’s Jeans mid-rise straight crop jeans ($80) – I bought a pair of these last year in blue and wore them so often that I wanted a backup pair. The traditional blue denim is no longer available, but I did find them in grey. They run large.

HOUSEHOLD

  • All Modern ‘Piper’ Bench ($200) – I had been looking for a 36″ bench to put under a window in our bedroom over the past year and this one caught my eye, but it was constantly out of stock. One came back at the end of last month and I immediately snagged it. Assembly is straightforward, but I will say that it took a bit of effort because the holes weren’t drilled perfectly. After it was put together, though, it was sturdy. It doesn’t need to do much other than hold throw pillows while we’re sleeping, so it should work out.

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.

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
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.
