handmade sam made | What Jenn Wore

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

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 skin Coach 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 necklace Fresh 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 bootie Rachel 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 planter Handmade 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 case Sonix 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!

I ventured out of Nordstrom (where I have been shopping the Anniversary Sale for the past 3 weeks!) to visit the Renegade Craft Fair hosted in Seattle this weekend. I was overwhelmed with the beautiful array of artisan wares including handmade home goods, jewelry, apparel, and accessories. And, I love meeting the artists who crafted the beautiful piece (or pieces) that you take home with you. Their stories, craft, and vision are always so inspiring.

Below I’m sharing a few of my favorite finds. If you happen to be in the Pacific Northwest, Renegade’s final summer stop on the west coast is this weekend in Portland, Oregon. I’m heading down to visit with friends in the Rose City…I’m hoping to convince them to do a bit more shopping as well. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Make It Good

To say that I am obsessed with this dress is an understatement. In fact, I’ve already washed it in preparation for wear this weekend. Made of this incredible rayon/nylon blend that does not wrinkle, and it floats from your body in such a flattering silhouette – this is a piece I know I will be wear for many summers to come! Make It Good also has a brick and mortar store in Portland called North of West – I’ll definitely be checking this one out.

Fail

All of Christine Fail’s designs are unique and beautifully made. I love her mix of gold, rose gold, and silver metals. In particular, the abstract shape of these “basket hoop” earrings caught my eye – they’re different yet simple enough to wear everyday.

El Sage Designs

I can get behind both the message and the styling of El Sage’s collection of hats, tees, and stickers. All inspired by the PNW, the block print art is hand screened on to awesome trucker hats and soft tees (for adults and kids alike). You can also find Phoebe and Jonathan’s designs at Queen Anne Frame, if you’re local to Seattle.

BZR

I may have gone home with both the leather choker and leather bolo…but really, how could you choose? This shop also has an eclectic sampling of hand-dyed leggings, colorful sunglasses, and printed dresses in addition to jewelry. Definitely a must-see to up your accessories game!

Handmade Sam Made

I can’t get enough of these geometric wall sconces, mobiles, and tabletop decorations, that are perfect for housing air plants or simply adding some spunk to a coffee table display (which is where you will find mine). Handmade by Sam, Samantha Leung, these modern pieces add interest to any interior decor or collection. You can also find Handmade Sam Made at Queen Anne Frame.

Hope you all enjoy a wonderful, sunny summer weekend. It’s hot, hot, hot here in Seattle. Thanks for reading! ~Jenn
