Earlier this year I came across a new-to-me jewelry designer, Jennifer Rodgers of Slantt, on Instagram and I was instantly a fan. My husband gave me the Freya earrings from her last collection for my 30th birthday, and since then they have been my go-tos for everything from special occasions to everyday wear. Without a doubt, they are the most versatile and striking earrings I own. Jennifer recently released her Winter 2017 collection, Amalfi, and it’s more beautiful than I imagined.

“Guided by a modern and organic sensibility, her jewelry is designed to be distinct while speaking to the individuality of the wearer. Interaction, form, and process are the designer’s focus, and the line continues to evolve while remaining close to the core ideals of modernism and the careful practice of a small studio.” –Jennifer Rodgers, Slantt

Each piece is handmade by Jennifer in her Austin, TX studio with a focus on ethical and sustainable techniques and materials. The Amalfi collection features hand formed, cut, and hammered silver and brass with soft curves and waves–like earrings in contrasting shapes and textures that can move with you for a bit of drama, or bracelets and rings that feel grounded and bold with their organic ridges and folds. These elegant silhouettes offer dimension and personality–everything you could want in a statement piece. See the entire collection here and be sure to browse more of Jennifer’s gorgeous goods.

When I won a gift card from Goodwin several weeks ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on. There were several sneak peeks on Instagram of a dusty rose top that I couldn’t stop thinking about. When Goodwin’s Fall collection dropped (it’s so good), I snatched one up quickly, and I’m so glad I did! I tend to skew towards black, cream, and tan, but I didn’t realize quite how limited my wardrobe palette is until several people mentioned what a great new color this is on me. Often I admire certain hues on others but never feel like they fit into my wardrobe–I can’t see myself in them. I’m excited to know I was wrong. Not only is the color beautiful, but the top, made by Hackwith Design House exclusively for Goodwin, is one of those double duty pieces that my life and limited clothing budget requires. Made of a soft, comfortable textured cotton, the Aysha top is reversible and the flattering wrap silhouette and balloon sleeves mean it easily makes a statement. I’ve reached for it several times since it arrived. It’s a stunning piece with thoughtful details, both playful and sophisticated, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with it. This top is sold out, but another limited batch is coming soon in a different color. I definitely see more wrap tops in my future, and more from the always stunning collections at Goodwin!

  • These lilac pillow slips were my last purchase of 2019 before starting 6 months (at least) of no spending (wardrobe + household decor). I hope to better understand my spending patterns/triggers and find healthier, less expensive ways to manage negative emotions. Committing to it wasn’t easy which makes me all the more glad I did. Thank you to @insearchofcozy_ for being my inspiration and giving me the push I needed to start!
  • Last weekend I popped into a couple of my favorite Cincinnati shops, including @fernshopcincinnati where some of my original collages are for sale amongst stunning plants and the best ceramics. If you’re in the area, stop by and see Megan’s gorgeous shop for yourself! She’s been a supporter of my work for years and I’m so grateful. Also grateful that my little sister moved to Cincinnati for college almost 14 years ago and never left so I get to keep visiting 🤗🤎✨
  • Had a slow, ordinary, wonderful, much needed vacation where I barely took any photos. Missing family but happy to be home ✨
  • A few days after Apollo died, I opened a package from @charlotteswans and inside was a portrait she had drawn of him. Immediately I began sobbing, missing my sweet boy, but also so grateful to see his face which she captured perfectly and beautifully. My husband and I got it framed as our Christmas present to ourselves. It’s a gift we will always cherish. Thank you, my dear Charlotte.
  • Yesterday I posted this photo in stories but deleted it shortly after because I was embarrassed. I look angry but in truth this is my face at rest, albeit tired. Most days I look at my post-menopausal face and body and don’t recognize them, but in this moment the anger, sadness, and loathing I normally experience (which is a complicated topic) was more subdued. I liked the picture so I’m not sure I know how to articulate why posting it felt so unacceptable. Here it is again, acting as a reminder to just post the damn thing. Lately the need to be more open about menopause, something I’ve shared with very, very few people, is one I’ve felt strongly. I don’t know exactly what that looks like in such a public space, but I think it’s worth exploring.
