OUI OUI 💍🥂 Dave and I got engaged on Christ

OUI OUI 💍🥂

Dave and I got engaged on Christmas Eve which now feels like old news (the full story is on my blog!), but I got a surprised DM and realized I should probably make it official in the feed. 🥰

We’re calling this the summer I got my health back on track… Or rather, the summer I 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 to. Two months in, and I’m realizing just how long these things take. ⏳
The last few ~interesting~ years and just generally getting older has had me itching to find a primary care doctor. Through a referral from a friend, I found a clinic that focuses more on preventative care, versus your traditional primary care. With most primary care in our country, you get 10 minutes with your doctor and as long as all metrics and bloodwork look ‘fine,’ you’re good to go and out the door.
At the concierge practice I’m going to, I was able to get A LOT of bloodwork done (basically what felt like every blood test you can run) and had an hour-long telehealth appointment a few weeks later to discuss my results.
And boy, oh boy, was I in for a bit of a 𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙚 awakening! 😳

A little post of gratitude today… Three things I’m thankful for this year ❤️🙏🏼

• Making my little family with Dave and Marley 🐶 (not a pregnancy announcement lol) We’re finally feeling so settled in our home (it takes at least a full year IMO!) and it feels so, so nice. 🏡 Savoring these ‘dink’ days without too much on our plates, as I know they won’t last forever.
• Friends, family, friends that feel like family, family that feels like friends.
• YOU! I feel like so many of you have been following along since I lived in New York, and some even before I moved there! It’s so wild to me that so many of you have been along for the ride for almost a decade or more. Old friends and new, I’m so happy to have you here 🤎 I feel so, so lucky to get to talk about clothes, skincare, shoes, decor, and share all of my favorite things every day. Life is short and to be able to enjoy the work days is such a gift. Thank you, truly!

Tigers don’t change their stripes 🐅 Remember

Tigers don’t change their stripes 🐅

Remember the days of maximalist statement necklaces and layering on all of your jewels at once?! 🤩 I saw @instylemagazine report this trend is back for fall and I couldn’t be happier I’ve saved most of my jewelry from the early 2010’s. Bling it on, baby ✨🪩

This fab striped set is back in stock and only $89! I mean, it’s basically like wearing your PJs in public, but I got THREE verbal compliments from strangers walking the *one* block from my car to the party I was going to, so I’ll call it a win! 🏆 I had to steam it out of the box (obvi) and was worried it would be wrinkled from sitting down, but I was majorlyy impressed with the lack of wrinkles from wearing. 💯 I’m in the Medium.

Shop this outfit in all of the usual spots 📲 Stories, my blog, and LTK. All links are in my bio! xo

It’s been a funnn summer to be a Cubs fan, especially now being able to *walk* to/from Wrigley Field! ⚾️🧢🐻 (Although scooters have become our preferred method of transportation! 🛴)

Dave has streamed every game we haven’t been at and it’s safe to say he was quiteee jealous @terez invited me to go to the Crosstown Classic last week to celebrate the launch of their @mlb collection! #terezxmlb
Got to witness Morel’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th and a Cubbie W over the White Sox. So much fun!! 🏳️

🛍️ My outfit is linked on my blog and LTK (link in bio!), but you can use my code JESSICAS15 for an exclusive discount on Terez.com #wearwhatmakesyouhappy

Also, thank you @cubs for having an off day on my birthday tomorrow 😅 Love you, mean it.

I styled three transitional outfits from the recently relaunched 𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜.𝐜𝐨𝐦 — One for the office, one for the weekend, and one for a night out! 🪩 #ShowUsHowYouRock #Ad

𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧
I can’t get enough of these black coated jeans! They’ve got that leather look without any of the discomfort. Just the right amount of stretch and they pair perfectly with a pretty pair of pumps.

𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞
Nothing takes you from your desk to a dinner like a straight-fit pair of jeans and an oversized blazer.

You’ve got to try these denim leggings… They’re a must for tucking into tall boots this fall and winter! So comfortable with plenty of stretch, and they’re pull-on without any buttons or zippers. I love that there’s a faux fly and two back pockets so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing leggings.

My friend @jenniferlake launched her annual holida

My friend @jenniferlake launched her annual holiday collection with @sailtosable today and there’s no shortage of sparkle! ✨ I was so generously gifted a style of my choice and picked the Anne gold sequin maxi dress (swipe) — CANNOT WAIT to wear it for holiday parties this season. 🥂 I might just start wearing it around the house on a Tuesday morning because it’s that good! 🤩

They also brought back my favorite Charlotte sequin dress in this capsule collection! I have silver (pictured above), but it’s now available in a stunning emerald sequin fabric and a classic black sequin fabric, too.

A few notes on quality… The bar is set high! ⬆️ You’ll be hard-pressed to find dreamy sequins like this at this price point. These styles are fully lined through the bodice and not itchy at all. The fabric has a slight stretch to it and drapes BEAUTIFULLY. It’s hard to explain until you have the dresses on, but they both fall and swing so, so perfectly! 10/10. No notes. 🏆

There’s more info on my blog, along with four other brands that launched their holiday collections this morning! I’ve also linked both of these dresses in my LTK shop — click the blue link in my bio. 🔗
