Gift Guide: There’s Still Time

December 16, 2016

J.Crew Pom Pom SweaterFor you procrastinators out there, I feel you. I mean, why do now what you can put off until tomorrow? Right?! But, there does come a time when push comes to shove…and that time is now, if you’re buying gifts online. Especially if you are hoping that your gifts will be delivered in time for Santa to bring them in his sleigh. Not to worry, many online retailers are still guaranteeing Christmas delivery thru this weekend.

Anthropologie (30% off all clothing, 20% off home decor & beauty)

Birchbox (10% off for all, 15% off for subscribers and 20% of Aces. Order by 12/18 for delivery before Christmas)

Subscription boxes also make a terrific gift that keeps on giving! Plus, subscribers get a free gift when they give subscriptions to friends…”one for you, one for me.”

Target (spend $50, save $10 and spend $100, save $25 on all toys)

Nordstrom (free delivery by Christmas Eve)

J.Crew (30% and 40% off select full-price items, free shipping thru 12/18)

Sweater at top of post

Get your shop on in time for the holidays! And, you can still do it from your couch (much wiser than a trip to the mall the final weekend before Christmas).

Wishing you a lovely weekend! ~Jenn

Gift Guide: Shop MY Wishlist

December 13, 2016

What’s on my wish list this year? I’ve been curating my list all year (and I’ve been good…mostly)! Shop my list for inspiration (or share with my husband).

Buki Cocoon Coat

Buki Cocoon Coat

I’ve sung the praises of this new ready-to-wear collection all year (see my previous post here). I hope to snuggle up and stay comfortable this holiday in Buki’s luxe cocoon coat made with unsurpassed fiber technology and designed with supreme tailoring.

gift guide coach skinny wallet exotic skinCoach Skinny Wallet

A wallet is actually on my “need” list…and that’s about the extent of the list. My current wallet is trashed. With Coach’s reputation for quality leather construction, I’m hoping this one will withstand abuse. Not to mention, I’m sure to spot the metallic python skin easily within the depths of my bag.

gift guide fresh tangerine linea necklaceFresh Tangerine Linea Necklace

I am loving the simple and delicate designs of this Seattle-based jewelry designer. Fresh Tangerine offers chic designs made in 14k gold fill that are affordable and easy to wear. This simple, chocker style necklace is at the top of my list…perfect for layering or beautiful worn alone!

gift guide rachel comey mod bootieRachel Comey Bootie

A girl can dream! Rachel Comey is the epitome of chic and this mod ankle bootie is no excpetion. I love the suede-covered chunky heel and the exposed zipper in the back. I would wear these with both cropped flare jeans and dresses alike! Just sayin’…

gift guide handmade sam made hanging planterHandmade Sam Made

I love the geometric and polished brass lines of this Seattle designer. I have a Handmade Sam Made sconce on my coffee table; I would love to add this beautiful hanging planter to my collection. It would look stunning hung in my sun porch but equally lovely over a kitchen sink. You can see for yourself (and pick one up) at Queen Anne Frame.

gift guide sonix starry eyed iphone caseSonix Starry Eyed iPhone 7 Case

What I really would like is a new phone. But, of course, the most fun part is picking out the case. I’m looking for bigger this year, like plus size. In my line of work, it’s a “necessity”…just think of the sefies?! But in all seriousness, I’ve read that the camera is a major reason to upgrade.

What’s on your list? Who’s on your gift list that is leaving you stumped? As alway, please leave a comment.

Thanks for reading! ~Jenn

PS. Be sure to head on over to Kirsty’s blog to see what she’s hoping to receive under the tree!

Gift Guide: ‘The Dude’

December 7, 2016

‘The Dude;’ we all shop for them. Whether they’re your dad, brother, co-worker, or significant other, chances are, you have at least one dude on your shopping list this holiday season.  What to get ‘The Dude’?? Truth-be-told, I put this one off myself. Shopping for men can be so…frustrating. With this in mind, I’ve created a gift list sure to satisfy ‘The Dude’ on your list:

The Grilling Dude

gmc-grill-master-crate-awesome-gift-for-men__77984-1479318518-702-702The Grill Master Man Crate

“Man Crates:” no bows, no ribbons, no fluff…and absolutely no instructions! For a little over $100, a crate full of grilling accessories (complete with a brass knuckle meat tendorizer!) will be delivered to his doorstep. Catchy marketing aside, the contents look really useful too!

The Outdoorsy Dude

10652-main-341_1_6Filson Down Cruiser

My dude got this for Christmas last year and, as the temperatures have recentely reached freezing again here in Seattle, it is back in the rotation.  Warmth for him, stylish for me…oh, and Filson is know for functionality. It’s a total win.

The Manicured Dude

_131958321Jack Black “Mr. Big Set”

Beards are a big thing (even outside of Seattle!). While I’m endorsing my dude’s new facial hair, grooming is a MUST. Jack Black’s set can make sure your dude is cleaned, trimmed and generally well-groomed (if not well-behaved).

The Trendy Dude

hi-res-16014208-mdl-fntScotch & Soda

Scotch & Soda is one of my best kept secrets…but I shouldn’t keep it all to myself! Great stylish, unique, men’s apparel with a retro flare yet totally modern fit.  I love all of their prints (my dude even does too!). And, their women’s section is pretty awesome too.

The Athletic Dude

110178_001_o_zm1Brooks Chariot Sneaker

I got my Brooks’ Heritage Collection sneakers and my dude immediately wanted a pair too! I’m loving the cool all-black styling of these Chariot sneakers.  Perfect dressed up for a casual day in the office or worn casual by your weekend warrior. PS. They also come in women’s sizes (stay tuned…I may be sporting these soon!)

The Geek Dude

ipsi_r2_14l_fridgeR2 D2 14 Liter Fridge

Yeah, it’s a fridge disguised as R2 D2. Enough said.

The Domesticated Dude

Riedel “O” Cabernet Wine Tumbler (fantastic price!!)

We have these at our house – my dude (and others in our household) can be clumsy. There’s something about loosing the stem that seems more manly; yet the shape is classically beautiful.

MY Dude

Smartwool Socks

I’ve sung these socks’ praises before. 100% wool allows for warmth and breathability. My dude loves these (as do I). Hope he’s not reading because I picked up several pairs for his stocking (I found mine at Queen Anne Dispatch).

What are you buying ‘The Dude’ on your list? Stumped?? Please leave a comment.

And, head on over to Kirsty’s blog to check out her gift guide for the girlfriends on your shopping list.

Thanks for reading! ~Jenn

Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted t Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted the new year feeling inspired with a renewed intention for my account; to share with you the goodies I love, wear, try. Unfiltered and honest. That’s what I’m here for. But then...2021 arrived feeling much like her older sister, 2020. Instead, I’ve avoided a lot of social media; choosing to tune into various news outlets and into my family. So, HERE WE ARE. A post proving that I got dressed yesterday, wearing some of my new favorites (these @flamingosshoes white boots!) and steady stand-bys (year 2 wearing this @notmondaymercantile beanie on repeat). I took the kids out after school to run a couple of errands and connect with a business I love to support; we made plans for a spring share. Man, it felt good to get out! And now, I’m posting early before I’ve read the morning news. So, it’s happened.

Please stay safe, remain respectful, and true to yourself. Social media is a beautiful way to connect, create, and inspire...but can also be a dangerous rabbit hole of misinformation and an opportunity for people to behave in a way they ordinarily wouldn’t in person. Off my soap box. Have a lovely Friday!#wordsfrommyheart #realoutfitgram #flamingosshoes #whiteboots #notmondaymoments
Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you all but enjoyed a nice long break. Heading back home after some snow time and I’m feeling re-energized (for now). Isn’t it funny how a change in the calendar can make you feel different? Are you a “new year, new you” kinda gal or more indifferent? I do like a good reset. Even though we’ll be doing more of the same early this year, I’m feeling more optimistic. For now. Cheers to 2021!

Also, posted in stories a nearly identical photo of us from last January at the top of @schweitzer_mountain. While the photos look the same, it’s fun to think that we now are Sandpoint homeowners! A positive outcome of 2020. #newyearonthemountain #snowbest #schweitzermountain #skifamily
Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all the boxes this year. Thinking of everyone not able to spend time with loved ones this year. I’m so grateful for our little family but really missing my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, my in-laws.  Over a year seems far too long to be apart; but we all need to continue to be safe. It matters. #christmassweater #christmas2020 #staysafestayhome #vintagesweater
Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions ma Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions may look different this year; we have an opportunity to get creative and share in new experiences. Like the new-to-me homemade marshmallow recipe, @thekirstyfiles and I have the pleasure of bringing to you in partnership with @pacific_place. We encourage you to invite a few pals to a zoom date, pop a bottle of bubbly, and create these delicious confections together. I promise they’re relatively fool proof (I pulled them off!) AND a sugar-high afternoon spent with friends (even virtually) will be sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Tune in to Pacific Place’s IGTV or YouTube to see the full tutorial, including my gaff when my marshmallow began moving into the “hard ball” territory (note: this recipe does require a candy thermometer and the ability to read it!). Cheers to making the most out of holiday 2020! #homemademarshmallows #pacificplaceseattle #craftingtogether
Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a frie Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a friend. The belly laughs, chit chat, and groans (as we tried on a number of jeans) provided the escape from reality that I needed. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much you miss something until you get to enjoy it again!
.
.
Other things I love? Soft luxury cashmere, designer denim that fits like a glove, and packable hats (yes, packable!). All can be found @willaseattle; a small, women-owned boutique located in the heart of the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Be sure to check out our stories as @thekirstyfiles and I share holiday-perfect gifts for your sister, mother, girlfriends...yourself! Lucky for Kirsty and I, our husbands also know the lovely owner, Liz (and she has our wishlists on file)! 
.

Also very near and dear to my heart, Willa is the epitome of shopping local. The shelves are stocked with unique, small business designs; including many Seattle businesses. When you shop local, you not only support your community but also curate a look all your own!

Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for you Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for yourself, aka #stayathomestyle. Sure, 2020 may be the year of the sweatpant (combined with a sleeping bag-like coat, as seen here). And yes, a mask chain is this year’s hottest accessory. BUT I still take care to actually get dressed each day. And while lipstick may no longer be a part of my daily routine (I mean, was it ever??), it’s still important to be pulled together..if only for my own mental health. And even if no one else sees it but the grocery clerk. #whatmamaworemonday #sweatpantsseason

On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope t On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope to inspire, remind, urge, and even beg you to ignore all of the crazy cyber sales that have been creeping into your inbox for the past week and instead SHOP SMALL this holiday season. Yes, perhaps it’s less convenient and even less of a “deal” but this pandemic is putting an even greater strain on the small and local businesses that are the absolute life blood of our communities. And, in addition to supporting an entrepreneur and neighbor, you’ll likely find more creative, individual, and unique gifts for your loved ones by shopping a small business.
