Wednesday wants....

I love boots and bags......here are a few of my lusts of late!

 

 
Love these frye boots.  And are on sale on Sierra Trading Post right now.  I have stalked them for months :)

This tote is new from Filson, and one of my favorites.  I have it in the white color, and think that this will be my next.  It is a great size for to/from work, travel, and even a purse....if you are a big purse girl like me!

 

 

Home improvements

My entire weekend was spent on home improvements and moving furniture. We have been holding out buying a dining room table, since I was going to have access to one that was my grandparents.  Never having seen it, I had no idea what to expect.

I could not be more thrilled! I should have known because 1. My grandmother has great taste and 2. it was originally purchased for Bozeman, Montana....so it fits perfectly into our rustic house. And I am so much happier having a table that was in my family than one I buy from a store!

Can you tell I love trellis? I scored these placemats from TJ Maxx....AND they had 8 of them.  Lucky girl! The long candle I got from Joss and Main.  Helps to have a best friend who is an interior designer, who sends you links to things that go perfectly :)

I also got this foyer table from my grandparents - it fits perfectly!

My Answers:

1.          I love fashion and all things preppy and sporting.  Because of my career in apparel, and my love to help others find clothes and put outfits together, I thought this would be a fun project for me. I also always get questions from friends and friends of friends who find my job fascinating.....so I thought this may be a glimpse into my unusual career path. 

2.         My lifestyle.  I am very girly but also love all things hunting, shooting and fishing.  

3.         J.Crew, Kate Spade, and Lilly Pulitzer. (Insert bias) Also, Eddie Bauer Sport Shop - it is the line I started for Eddie Bauer. 

4.         My top ten fall essentials are: 1). Riding Boots 2). Le Chameau or Barbour boots (I like the sporting background of this style vs the more trendy rainboots) 3). Trench Coat (always in style) 4). Fur....I love it as a trim right now 5). Waxed cotton anything   6). J.crew matchstick cords 7). Cognac colored wedge ankle booties 8). Wool pencil skirt  9). Assortment of scarves, snoods, and infinity scarves 10). Quilted vest

5.         Black Le Chameau rubber boots. I have Brown Barbour ones, but decided black was also necessary :)

6.         My favorite Lilly Pulitzer print is currently Chiquita Bonita - even the name is happy!

7.          Preppy, Sporting, and classic

8.         Max and chloe for jewelry, and Preppy and Personalized for fun items!

Initial thoughts...

Monograms! Who doesn't love them?

I recently ordered this pillow from preppy and personalized...I love it! Our combined initials in burlap, so it fits in our rustic prep home perfectly!

A few of my favorite other monograms below! 

Adam got me this monogram necklace for our first anniversary...

And monogrammed jacks? Two of my favorite things combined! I wore these at our wedding reception, with my new married initials.

Happy Tuesday! What are your favorite things to have monogrammed?

Charlottesville Fun

It's been a busy last week for this girl. Lots of work, a pretty fierce cold that wiped me out, and a weekend trip with the husband. 
We went to Charlottesville last weekend, which is one of our most favorite places!

During the trip I of course hit up the Lilly Store I discovered last time...the Pink Palm.
They are fabulous! and having a great sale:)

I scored some fun jewelry, pre our wine tasting adventures.

 

Some pics from Veritas....

 

 

 

It was cold and rainy most of the weekend....so I lived in this eddie bauer waxed cotton jacket. I love this thing. It is more tailored than my barbour one.
