The best part of our trip to San Diego was obviously Gabby and Brian’s wedding 🥰, so today I thought I’d share some favorite iPhone photos from the special day!

A highlight of our trip to San Diego was visiting Hotel del Coronado. Called “The Del” by locals and famous for its Victorian architectural design, it’s definitely one of the most breathtaking and impressive seaside resorts I’ve ever been to. It’s been around since the late 1800s! It’s been featured in film and literature oodles of times, but I personally love that L. Frank Baum wrote much of The Wizard of Oz there. Oh! I’ll also add that Hotel del Coronado was the inspiration for Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. (Just in case you thought it looked familiar, too!)
My favorite fall boots are back!
Well, the big news is pictured above. I love these boots. They’re timeless-looking and chic, they provide warmth when wearing skirts and dresses, and they’re unbelievably comfortable. Miracle boots, I tell you! (In case you’re wondering, they run TTS. I do, however, always order a half size up in boots in case I want to wear thick socks.) Anyway, I give them an A+ and then some.
Here are the rest of this week’s Recent Finds:
This is the old console table/cabinet I was telling you about! (Similar here.) Up until recently, it had been empty since we’d moved in; last on my decorating list because it wasn’t part of some larger project. Needless to say, it needed some attention. :)
Leather Tote / Gorjana Coin Necklace and Bespoke Bracelet (Gorjana recently arrived on Armitage in Lincoln Park!) / Leopard Slip Skirts Here, Here and Here (Solid here and here.) / 365 T-Shirt (Favorite t-shirt of all time!) / Similar Sandals / Sunglasses
I’m happy I’m doing these posts again. First, it makes me put a little more effort into my outfits every day. Second, I think it’s a good representation of who I am. I am a casual being. Or I am at this stage in my life! Before kids, I’d get dressed up on the reg. Now, though, I’m in jeans way more often than I’m not—and I’m unreasonably proud of myself when I put on a skirt or dress. Heck, I document it. 😆
Little Girls’ Dachshund Dresses / Straw Bags / Sandals / Noodle’s Leash / Lucy’s Clip / Similar Sunglasses
A friend from the gym—who I met through Blair, actually!—had her girls in these dachshund dresses a month or two ago, and you know I was like, “Where. Did. You. Get. These.” 🙈
Cabinet Paint Color: Benjamin Moore Dove Wing / Ballard Designs Dayna Chairs / Wooden Bowl / Artificial Pears That Everyone Keeps Biting / Pillows (Here are the green checked ones, and here are the similar white ones that we have in the living room!) / Brass Clock / Faux Marble Table: The original inspiration was this one from Crate & Barrel, but we went with faux marble since we have young children. Have had it for four years and looks brand new and very real. Find it at Overstock, Macy’s, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Wayfair, and Wayfair #2. (Slightly different design.) / Old Broyhill Whale (Wayfair has lots of options, though.) / Floor Stain: Minwax Antique Brown
Hello! Here are the first 10-ish things that come to mind this morning:
Absolutely in LOVE with this coat! It’s made out of Italian Stadium Cloth Wool, which is crazy warm. (The only wool coat I can actually wear during Chicago winters is made out of the same material!)
Oh, hello there! Life got a little crazy with the kids, but I’m here. 🙋🏼♀️
