Winter Brights

February 15, 2016 by jessica

Neon03

The mercury rose to the mid-40s last weekend, allowing me to go sans tights and with a spring coat. Things were much different this weekend when the icy weather returned, bringing a few inches of snow with it. That didn’t stop me from daydreaming about warmer days and brighter colors. I dug this skirt out of my closet over the weekend. While I’ve only worn it once since purchasing it last spring, I just can’t bear to part with it. The obnoxious highlighter-yellow lends an unexpected jolt of color on a dreary day (and, quite frankly, welcome relief from my winter uniform of black and grey).

    So cute! Sometimes you need a big dose of brightness in the middle of Winter! I have some pieces like that too, I rarely wear them but can’t get rid of them because there are just times when you NEED to wear it, haha

    Glad to see you out enjoying the snow – somehow the cold feels less cold when it’s snowing. I like the brights, and even if the skirt doesn’t get a ton of wear, it’s worth keeping around for the days when you are just feeling the brights.

    Love the neon pop! It was brutal here this weekend as well, except we didn’t have any pretty snow! Hopefully it warms up again soon!

    I came across a pair of Hunter boots on sale last week … and they reminded me of how you had worn them. Had they been my size I would have snatched them – they were 15 bucks-

    I love this, the pop of bright color is perfect! It’s instant cheer up for the cold weather. I need to add more neon to my wardrobe, it’s always so fun!

    I love that you were able to wear brights in such cold weather! I would’ve been head to toe in black (well more so than I am now!). Love your boots!

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

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.
