Happy Sunday, everyone! We had a big shoot this week, so get excited that a reveal is coming soon:) And actually, we have another shoot this month too! We are most definitely back to school lol. Hope everyone is staying cool and ready for this week’s links.

This week’s house tour was like the last Christmas present you don’t realize is coming. And that present was Heidi Caillier’s personal San Francisco Victorian home. It’s a feast for the eyes, to say the least. Enjoy every last inch of it!

From Emily: A cozy fall show that even my conservative parents love. I skipped Sullivan’s Crossing for a while because the clip that they played on repeat when you scroll over it was SO CHEESY that even I, lover of all things romantic, had to turn away (Chad Michael Murray had his shirt off for zero reason). But on a desperate Sunday, when I needed to design/shop online all day on my computer, I threw it on, and it turns out I really loved it (I binged three seasons in a week while working). It’s a fish out of water story (boston surgeon, moves back to small town), enemies to lovers vibes that is admittedly really easy to double screen in front of (BTW I’m not proud of double screening, I know that its ruining TV and that writers are now asked to write shows that are so easy to understand that people can be on their phone/laptop while watching, just like what I’m doing), but it moves at an easy pace and has such cozy small town vibes (think Virgin River) that it keeps me company on the weekend days or nights where I need to work (pin, moodboard or shop) but want to do it in front of the TV. My parents and I don’t share a lot of media interests in common, so when they mentioned they watched it, I was like, “Ooooh!! Me, too!!!” So it’s a great one for multiple generations and isn’t scandalous at all:) Anyway, the 5th season just came out, and I’m thrilled (especially since I just finished Sterling Point – WHAT A GEM – do NOT double screen that one, and the second and seemingly last season of Ransom Canyon). Let cozy TV season begin.

From Caitlin: It’s taken a while, but I’ve recently felt myself coming back to life a little bit – I’m being more social, I’m leaving the house, and I’m finally ready to stop dressing like Adam Sandler!!! (I’ve essentially been living in sweats for the past ~20 months.) The overwhelming majority of my clothes are still in LA, and I am CRAVING some variety after donning the same pants and tank tops all summer. To that end: I just renewed my Nuuly and BNTO subscriptions and couldn’t be more excited! Both cost $98/month and ship 6 pieces straight to your door. I love Nuuly for trying out things I’m actually interested in buying (they carry tons of cool small brands mixed with Anthro, Free People, and the like), while I prefer BNTO for their accessory collection (cute necklaces! Fun bags!) that make it easy to zhush up my boring basics. I so appreciate being able to play around with new brands, styles, and cuts without splurging on stuff that doesn’t fit or that I’ll never wear again – it’s a really fun way to fall back in love with getting dressed every day. THREE CHEERS FOR RENTING!

Also from Caitlin: I bought a pair of not-ugly bike helmets and need to share with the class because I LOVE THEM. I got one in British Racing Green, Den got one in Speedway Creme, and we’re both huge fans – I love the protection, obviously, but I also love that they’re easy to lock with your bike and that they have an awesome magnetic closure instead of a pinch-y buckle. I’m a nut about helmets (lots of concussions will do that to you!) and love that this one doesn’t feel embarrassing to wear in a town of helmet-less beach folk. (Full disclosure: I bought them direct from the brand but wish I hadn’t – the site is buggy and customer service isn’t great. The helmets are amazing, but this is a rare occasion in which I’d highly recommend purchasing from the devil’s department store to spare your sanity.)

From Jess: Like many of us, I have lower back pain. I have an incredible pelvic floor physical therapist, so I’ve made a lot of progress! One thing she agreed was a good idea was to get a pillow for in between my legs since I’m a side sleeper. I got this one for under $15, and it actually stays there all night! I don’t think I’m a big mover when I sleep in general, but when I’ve tried to use a regular pillow, I almost always get rid of it not long after. So happy to have this specialized one.

From Gretchen: I don’t know what it is about a sporty t-shirt, but I’m hooked. This one from Old Navy has become a new favorite. The little red details at the shoulders and collar paired with the way the long sleeves flare out, I just love it. It’s comfy, casual, and cute. And I love the price tag even more. Also, I really lucked out with Old Navy’s birth year being 1994, because it’s the same as mine, and every time I see a big ’94’ emblazoned on a t-shirt for under $20, I feel like, spiritually, I just have to have it.

From Arlyn: I planned on linking something else today, but then an email came into my inbox that I actually opened, and it excited me! As someone who gets bombarded with press releases, I have to admit—I skip opening a lot of things unless it’s from someone I know or a note I’m waiting on. But just look at these absolutely gorgeous Artifact Uprising photo books wrapped in St. Frank prints!!! They look like designer coffee table books, except they’re something you make with your own memories. I mean, what a fantastic design-forward gift for anyone in your life who cares about that sort of thing. I’ll definitely be making one of these for myself whenever I can find the time to dig through photos and put something together (so…maybe never? ha J/K…)

From Marlee: After eyeing this sofa online for a while, I just scored one on FB Marketplace for $200 (!!!) and I am in HEAVEN! It’s deep, cushy, and so so so comfortable. We got the 82″ width multi-seat, which seats 2 comfortably and could squeeze 3 if you’re down to get cozy. It’s the perfect sofa for a 2-person household – I love that the arms are thick enough to set a coaster/my drink on, and it comes with a ton of pillows that you can adjust to your comfort preferences. It’s in the performance velvet, which I get a little nervous about velvet sofas looking too shiny/cheap, but after seeing it in person, I’m really happy with how it looks. The folks we bought it from had it for 3 years, and it seems to have held up really well. If you’re looking for a contemporary, COMFY sofa, I would totally recommend this one!

From Mallory: You guys! A really awesome family friend of mine just started an embroidery business called Bancroft and Grand that you have to check out. Linda and her best friend, Jenny of 30+ years, decided to invest in a super high-quality embroidery machine that they can take to brand activations or really any event, and they can custom embroider nearly anything for you on-site. They just embroidered personalized hotel-esque robes for my house, and they did some really cool custom Philadelphia Phillies embroidery too! I went to high school with Linda’s daughters, and I’ve known their family for forever, so it’s just so fun to see their new adventure – if you’re planning an event and want to make it special, hit them up!

Thank you for hanging out with us today! See y’all tomorrow. xx
