F4

October 24, 2014 by Jennifer

Happy Friday, all!  I’m excited about my little F4 roundup of favorites for this week, so let’s jump right in.


Food
Well, not exactly food.  Drink.  But yum.  I’m making this Apple Cider Bourbon Punch (pictured below on the left) for a dinner party we’re having Saturday and it sounds like fall perfection.

Fashion
I can’t get this faux fur vest out of my head.  Here’s the thing.  It’s a girls size.  But I saw it in person when I was back to school shopping with my daughter and the quality was amazing.  So much nicer than others I’ve seen around.  I’m kind of thinking I could wear a girls XL.  Right?  Maybe?  If you are petite this is a no brainer.

For the Home
Teal.  Peacock.  Whatever you call the color I am all about it this fall.  I love how the jewel tone feels right at home in fall and winter without being predictable.

Follow
Caitlin from Desert Domicile is always blowing me away with her creativity, vision, and styling prowess.  The staggered wainscoting in moody navy blue she did in conjunction with Home Depot was nothing short of fabulous.  And she made the wainscoting pieces from plywood.  I mean, the patience…it exceeds me.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement, adding classic-contemporary style to my late 80's colonial home one inch at a time.

It's often messy, there are usually project remnants strewn about, and practically always a little girl at my heels. Follow along and I'll show you how you can do it too! Also food, because yum.
