Happy Sunday! This week we started the Farmhouse’s outdoor series and we are pumped to show you what we have. We know it’s a little late in the year but as Em said, it just wasn’t done until now and waiting to show it off until next spring is simply too long to wait! Plus we are looking at this as the “year one edition” with next year being more lived in version (and even more in bloom which is wild being it’s already so lush!). There is also a VERY fun announcement or umm, introduction tomorrow! But first, links.
This week’s house tour is a moody Brooklyn beauty designed by Augusta Hoffman! Every piece is perfectly selected to create a simple but rich home design (and was inspired by nighttime walks in the home’s neighborhood peeking into windows!). The hand painted blue bedroom mural is so beautiful that it would be a crime for the homeowners to move now! Also please note the contrast piping on the club chairs:) See it’s trending!! Go check out the whole space here.
From Emily: I tried on over 30 pair of jeans the other day. THIRTY. It was not fun. The styles out there right now… I just don’t feel good in! I know that skinny is out, but that’s what works on my body and that’s what makes me feel good (well, I love the wide leg ones from yesterday very much, too. But I found these fit and flares from Madewell (outside of my partnership, actually) and once paired with a heel I felt so GOOD. They are extremely flattering – hugging the hips butt and thighs in a good way (the shading of the denim and the seam placement makes it really flattering). Then it pops out at the bottom, balancing out the hips and it looks SO GOOD. They make me want to go out, they make me feel young and frankly just more “hot” than a “mom”. Sometimes we all need that y’all. Thank you, Jeans. I’m BACK!
From Jess: I really want to be a gal that can effortlessly rock a super trendy pair of sunglasses but classic shapes will always just be what I prefer/feel comfortable in. Enter these affordable cuties that I bought while walking around New York yesterday! They are classic but cool, slightly oversized, and for $29 you can’t beat ’em! 10/10 recommend.
From Caitlin: Do your AirPods slip out of your ears? Do you have to be constantly vigilant about headphone placement while completing normal human tasks, like “sitting still” or “getting out of a car” or “chewing gum,” lest your AirPod tumble out of your ear and into the abyss? (Or worse, into the street or the folds of an airplane seat?) BECAUSE HEY, SAME HERE. And my boyfriend found a solution! Last month, he bought me these affordable silicone ear hooks – they come in packs of three, slide right over each AirPod, and I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT SINCE. Y’all, I am napping on planes with RECKLESS ABANDON now – there are no more worries about having to fish a rogue headphone out of an embarrassing place in front of a bunch of strangers. They only cost $15 and have made wearing my AirPods so much more pleasant – I’m grateful to be dating such a good problem solver:) You can find the hooks for 1st Gen AirPods here, for 2nd Gen here (I got these!), and for 3rd Gen right here.
From Mallory: I checked into a cute apartment I’m staying in in NYC last week and coincidentally they gave us a Supergoop sunscreen in a little toiletry bag/welcome gift (on the same day that Em posted this video), so I had to try it out, of course. YOU GUYS. This is a nonspon message from me: This tinted matte sunscreen is the butteriest, smoothest, lightest thing I’ve ever put on my face. I’m HIGHLY into it and love that it gives a little bit of coverage without feeling like cakey foundation. Try this out if you haven’t. I’ll be buying this probably for the rest of my life.
From Gretchen: I stopped into Sephora the other day for no reason at all—which is typically how I wander in there—and left with a handful of stuff. I’m a low-budget kind of girl, so most of what I grabbed was Sephora brand, but I did treat myself to a Fenty Beauty cream blush and I have to say, I’m obsessed!! This specific color, Rosé Latte, is a sort of brown-tone nude that works well with my skin tone and gives me a naturally flushed look that I love. It’s super pigmented but blends out so well. I use it on my eyes, cheeks and lips—it’s become a staple in my makeup routine and I’m never looking back!
From Arlyn: I normally don’t share men’s items here but when my clothes-adverse husband buys something and actually makes comments about liking it, it’s worthy of a share. (And by clothes adverse I should say clothes-buying adverse…he’s not a nudist.) From my perspective, these shorts look great. Some chambray can look too shiny but these look both casual and dress up-able for shorts. Great with sneakers, boat shoes, and flip flops, T-shirts, polos and button downs. He says they’re comfortable, sized just right and hit right above the knee. In a style true to himself, I suspect he’ll go and buy every other color available because #men.
That’s it from us today. See y’all tomorrow. xx
