Recent Finds, 10/11

Navy Bean Boots (Favorite pair, though, is the shearling-lined boots. In my experience, they’re the warmest! The plaid flannel-lined boots are a close second; I’d recommend these for fall and the shearling-lined ones for winter! /Barbour Beadnell Jacket (LOVE the quilted one, though. SO WARM!) / Fisherman Tunic (Also consider the original.) / Camp Socks (Love L.L.Bean’s version, too.) / Hudson Jeans (They’re on Amazon as well.)

Today’s been a DAY. First, it’s Mitch’s birthday. (Happy birthday, Mitch! Your girls love you so much.) But we also had the usual school drop-off routine, a bunch of deadlines (that we actually met!) and a doctor’s appointment for Lucy and her helmet (went so well!)… and then Home Depot sent their plumbing crew to the house to hook everything up. (I’m actually typing this as they’re working. I put on some music but it’s definitely a little awkward. 😂 Here’s the progress on the kitchen, btw!) In an hour, we’re also having a make-your-own pizza night with friends and their kids. Really fun!

Wanted to pop on this afternoon, though, to let you know that:

Kitchen in Progress

Hi, Friends!

We have so much going on over here, haha. But our kitchen countertops went in yesterday, and we’re in love! I can’t believe how much bigger and brighter the room looks.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared initial plans for our kitchen. And it’s so exciting to see it all happening. I’ll do a full (very honest) review about the experience once everything’s finished, but wanted to share a few more details today.

Fall Style with Mitch and his Little Girls

Patagonia El Cap Better Sweater / Sperrys (This navy pair is also great, and I could see myself in these sneakers.) / Similar Jeans Here and Here / Gingham Button-Down (Love this one, too.) / Toddler Outfit / Matching Baby Outfit

Mitch here!

I’m a Chicago Weather Denier, and this fall, I plan to ignore the chill for as long as possible like I always do. The plan is to slowly add layer upon layer, and I don’t care if I end up wearing 10 sweaters on top of each other; that parka is staying in the closet where it belongs! It’s like I’m experiencing the five stages of grief but in this case every stage is denial.

It’s done, it’s done! Okay. I still need to find lamps for the dresser because the current ones blend into the wallpaper, and I’d eventually like to hang Roman shades on the window over the bed. But other than that (😂), our bedroom is DONE!

 We’re flying to New York tomorrow for my grandmother’s 85th birthday celebration, and I couldn’t be more excited to unplug and get some quality time in with the extended family!

Apologies for the quality of these photos; I haven’t quite adjusted to not being able to shoot at 6/7 p.m. anymore. 😂 But wanted to quickly jump on today to highlight an amazing pair of pull-on high-waisted jeans.
