This week’s home tour is the house of none apart from the legend that’s Diane Keaton. AD republished her 2008 Beverly Hills Spanish Colonial Revival, and it’s as timeless as you’d anticipate. I’m positive most of us have her notorious design e-book, The Home that Pinterest Constructed. What a present she was to all of us, and we’re so grateful for every thing she created.
From Emily: As you understand, I feel that Madewell nailed the barrel jean greater than some other model (IMHO). Others are too high-waisted or too bulbous or too lengthy, however theirs continues to be slimming whereas nonetheless being “a giant pant”. I’ve in mid-wash denim and cream, and was VERY happy to see that they’re increasing the road (and promoting out) into the identical profile, like this mossy inexperienced one. Additionally, there’s a denim model now with entrance cargo pockets (which I at all times discover appears to be like nice) that retains promoting out, however many sizes are presently in inventory. I might measurement down 1-2 sizes relying on match. These aren’t meant to be tight, however they’re fairly outsized, and Madewell’s sizing is difficult anyway. So I’ve them in two sizes – one for the times once I need them to take a seat extra on my hips, and one for once I need them to take a seat increased on the waist and is extra fitted in my butt
From Jess: Look, I’m not right here to trigger any hassle, however since Emily posted about her favourite pjs the opposite week, I believed I would as properly throw my new beloved jammies into the ring. The model is Hanes, heard of it? lol. They’re impossibly delicate, light-weight, completely reasonably priced, and I kinda really feel cool in them too, which isn’t necessary however a enjoyable bonus nonetheless. I put on the shorts round my waist, and I’d say they’re true to measurement. Nevertheless, in order for you slightly extra room or to put on them decrease, think about sizing up. Oh, and I LOVE the colour I bought, which was, in fact, Stargazer Gray. I additionally bought the shirt in my typical measurement, and it’s excellent for me. Now, LA simply had its first chilly wet day for the season, so I’m closely contemplating getting the pants for a hotter possibility:) I actually can’t advocate them sufficient!!
From Arlyn: I’ve a protracted historical past of spending a wild quantity on skincare and make-up, however lately, when it appears like every thing prices roughly a semester’s school tuition, I’m engaged on discovering some substitutes. I had nice luck with this $15 E.L.F. Halo Glow “filter” I wrote about this summer season, and I’m glad to report I’ve discovered one other drugstore win in the No. 7 serum basis. It really works properly for my mixture pores and skin, glides on effortlessly, covers properly, however feels very ethereal, and leaves a delicate glow with out wanting greasy. I’ve put it on with each my fingers and a basis brush, and every labored out properly. For round $18, I can’t actually ask for extra.
From Mallory: I’m PASSIONATE about this one, you guys…I’ve by no means been a nail woman as a result of I don’t have the persistence to take a seat on the nail salon, however I’ve really been attempting as a result of I LOVE the sensation of getting my nails completed. My nails are additionally tremendous skinny, so for them to be lengthy in any respect, they have to be painted (I additionally chunk them generally, oops). Anyway, enter the least annoying nail resolution I’ve ever seen: Dazzle Dry. My finest buddy visited from New York, and he or she stated she was going from the Higher East Facet to Brooklyn (far) month-to-month to get these Russian manicures, however was so over the time dedication. So she began researching each at-home nail resolution on the market and located the one. She additionally stated she seems like a snake oil salesman with how onerous she sells folks on this product, however it’s not snake oil – it’s simply that good. The issue with most at-home nail options, although, is that it takes FOREVER for the polish to dry (and thus it will get smudged) or it’s important to get the entire gel arrange, which additionally takes a very long time. You place these things in your nails and it dries IMMEDIATELY. like inside a minute. It’s CRAZY. And the perfect half is it’s a gel, so it lasts a very very long time too. Couldn’t advocate this sufficient!
From Caitlin: I’m additionally PASSIONATE about my hyperlink, lol. Keep in mind how I sang the praises of PBS Passport? I hope I offered you, as a result of I simply stumbled upon the best TV present of all time: ANTIQUES ROAD TRIP. (The screaming emphasis is mine. And it’s justified.) Right here’s the rub: a pair of antiques consultants pair up, hop in a wonderful traditional automobile, and traverse England’s most interesting charity retailers, classic shops, and vintage emporiums. It’s technically a contest present – albeit a good-natured one, within the Nice British Bake Off custom – that pits our consultants towards one another at public sale, nevertheless it’s a completely pleasant watch that may scratch your purchasing itch from the consolation of your sofa. The most effective half? THERE ARE 30 SEASONS AND 905 EPISODES TO WATCH. I actually can’t think about a cozier present to binge this winter – I’m so happy to have discovered it. (And if any of you will have any HGTV sway, please carry one thing like this to America! I simply need to watch folks selecting! It’s so enjoyable to see what consultants are drawn to, and why! Are you able to inform I’m a girl obsessed?!)
From Gretchen: I desperately wanted a brand new telephone case as a result of the one I purchased a few years in the past has lastly bit the mud. The rubber is coming off in chunks, and whereas it’s been enjoyable to peel off, little bit by little bit once I’m bored, my pals are beginning to choose me… however not with no advice to resolve the issue! Two of my pals influenced me to seize a brand new case from CaseMate (a model they swear by), and I landed on this one! I’ve the purple iPhone 14 Professional that’s pictured, and I like the way it appears to be like exhibiting via the clear, glittery shell. I received’t be going again to a rubberized case as a result of they clearly do me soiled, however I did additionally decide up this rubbery, suction-cup telephone mount to get the free delivery. You should buy it with simply the adhesive backing for cheaper, however I handled myself to the MagSafe model so I can take it on and off to make use of my different magnetic telephone mounts. I’ve been eyeing these suction-style selfie-mounts for some time, so I’m excited to strive it out. However I’m extra excited to have a telephone case that doesn’t seem like I picked it out of the rubbish! Bonus–it seems like this one will truly final!
From Marlee: Effectively.. It’s chilly(ish) now (and we’re not turning on the warmth but), in order somebody who despises being chilly, listed below are my absolute non-negotiable objects to make the seasonal transition simpler. First and most significantly, my favourite slippers ever. Effectively, I assume they’re not technically slippers as a result of they don’t actually “slip” on (extra of a bootie!), however the ankle safety is ESSENTIAL! You gotta maintain the toes AND the ankles heat… these are SO cozy and I put on them each single day. Enjoyable reality, do you know Uggs had been invented for surfers’ toes to remain heat after getting out of the chilly ocean?? Subsequent: my heated blanket. This factor actually makes film nights further cozy. It has 4 temperature settings and turns off mechanically after a sure period of time! Lastly, my favourite thermos mug – I don’t know anybody who forgets about their freshly brewed tea greater than me… with this, you may pour it and neglect it, then come again an hour later and revel in your *very* strongly brewed (and nonetheless sizzling) cup!
Thanks for stopping by, and see you tomorrow for a BIG MOTO REVEAL!!! xx
