The Link Up: Em’s New Favorite Cargo Jacket, The Wireless Bra Arlyn Owns FIVE Of , And Two House Tours We Love

Happy Sunday, everyone. Even though our hearts are still in a summer state of mind (technically, the season hasn’t changed yet!), we are slowly preparing ourselves for cozier nights and warm-toned decor coursing all through our feeds. You should definitely start expecting that from us too very soon:) But for now, here are this week’s links!

This week’s house tour has us wishing warm summer days would last forever. This Australian farmhouse that resides on 15 acres is happy, warm, colorful, and full of life. Needless to say, we are very envious of the three little ones who get to grow up here!

From Emily: The most “throw-on-able” cargo jacket that both Kaitlin and I bought (now on a big sale). I bought this jacket for our fall shoot and wore it for the next four days in a row. Then I showed the team, and they all loved it as well. I think it was refreshing to see a small stripe on the utilitarian jacket, and it’s definitely oversized, so I was able to throw it over everything (sweatshirts, even) and rolled up the sleeves and lived in it. When I bought it, it was $99, and now it’s down to $60, so I’m assuming it’s going to be gone soon. It has a million pockets (giving fishermen), and the shape of the bottom and the collar both add stylish elements. While it’s not breaking the jacket mold, it’s just really easy to wear and makes us feel stylish while also being just super basic. It’s VERY oversized, so I’m wearing an XS, and it’s still big, so don’t expect it to be fitted:)

From Gretchen: For Labor Day weekend, I popped over to visit my parents in Bend, OR, and had the best time with them! Mom and I did some damage shopping at Walmart, of all places. We found, weirdly, a lot of cute pieces there, including this cute Reebok, v-neck sweatshirt and matching skirt setthis adorable black eyelet top, and some fun camo pants (that were sadly out in my size). My mom scored in the shoe section, finding these adorable and comfy walking shoes that look eerily similar to my HOKAs but for a MEGA fraction of the price. They’ve got a great, extra-thick heel support, similar to my Bondi 8s. Probably not as quality as those walking shoes, but she couldn’t be more excited to test ’em out, for less than $30!

From Marlee: As sad as I am about summer ending, I’m excited to start pulling out pieces from my closet that haven’t seen the light of day in months – this lightweight puffy jacket is by far the item I reach for the most in the fall and winter months. I’ve had it for about 3 years at this point – my cost per wear must be down to pennies. It comes in a whopping 27 different colors – I just have it in black, but I’m thinking about getting a fun color for this fall. It’s pretty lightweight, which makes it great for that time of year when there’s a cool breeze, but it’s not freezing. The fit is slightly boxy and oversized. I’m 5’8” and wear a small. I also love that it packs down into a tiny square, which makes it super easy to throw in a bag as your “just in case” jacket – I’ve convinced multiple people in my life to purchase this and everyone loves it just as much as I do!

From Arlyn: I wrote about this wireless bra a few months back, but it’s made me want to get rid of ALL MY OTHER BRAS, so it’s worth linking to again. By now, I own five of these, and it still doesn’t feel quite like enough. No other wireless bra I had prior to this and liked holds up anymore. It’s the only bra I want to wear, and as someone who is very chesty, that’s saying something. It lifts, it doesn’t bunch, it keeps the girls in place nearly all day, it’s soft and comfortable, and the straps are super supportive without looking like they’re ready to hold up bowling balls. If you’ve thought about it before, GET IT NOW. You won’t regret it.

From Mallory: My FAVORITE skirt right now is this awesome little number from Sezane – I have it in the navy blue patent leather and it’s just so unique. I truly haven’t seen anything else like it!! I’ve been wearing it with a white tank and leopard flats, but can’t wait to wear a monochrome navy sweater with it (like they do in the website photos) when it becomes a bit chillier outside.

From Jess: Last Friday, I had to last-minute find a new outfit for my friend’s birthday dinner because my original dress somehow got something caked onto it, I guess in the wash?? I was BUMMED! But I ran to the mall and, after a few stores, found this dress in Sagesse at Aritzia. The dress code I was told I MUST abide by was “sexy chic,” so this fit the bill for me perfectly. It’s double-layered, so it really holds you in and smooths you all over, which I loved. I felt so confident, secure, and dare I say, sexy chic. The only thing to know is that there isn’t a slit at the bottom, so your stride length is limited a little:) I might see if it’s worth adding a slit to help with that because it’s the only thing I would maybe change.

From Caitlin: This hour-long house tour left me attonitus. (That’s right – I’m linking a house tour whose description transcends the English language. “Awe-struck” or “enthralled” just don’t do it justice, you know?) Spoiler: its an 18th century English estate (and barn, and botanical garden) owned by an absolute power couple of Anthro’s former CEO and Anthro’s former buyer-at-large (this is a fancy way to say “full-time antique buyer,” and it’s a job I’d love to learn more about. Do you think I could be EHD’s buyer-at-large?). The property is unreal. Their taste is unbelievable. The collections are fantastic. IT’S ATTONITUS. You’ll get it when you watch it, I swear. 

Thanks for spending a little time with us today, and come back tomorrow to see Mallory’s living room reveal! xx

I still miss Keith Johnson’s TV series “Man Shops Globe” from when he was a buyer and creative director for Anthropologie – well worth a watch, so will enjoy his house tour no doubt.

Does anyone have a recommendation for cheap/inexpensive floater frames?
