  I haven’t been sharing much on the intentional style or exfoliating front lately because there hasn’t been too much to share that has been super exciting. However, I have a new favorite bag that has quickly stolen my heart – and is fulfilling a few of my intentions (to purchase high quality items when possible, and [...]

  It has been a while since I’ve shared much on the design front regarding my client projects and my own home. So today I’d like to give a few updates and sneak peeks! First, I’d like to give an update on the hotel project branding and design project: we are still awaiting city permits [...]

Today I’m off to Alt Summit! Though things have been a bit of a whirlwind leading up to this trip, a few amazing opportunities presented themselves this week which leave me pumped for my return home (more on that later!). Though I have no real idea of what to expect from this trip, I have [...]

  Lately I’ve had some good luck in the shopping department. Here are a few of my current faves that look luxe without costing a pretty penny. While J.Crew’s sequin pumps and flats have me swooning, I scored these lookalikes at Target for $24.99. In the winter my lips get extra chapped (not a great [...]

  Over the summer I got a fantastic injection of new pieces into my wardrobe. But as the weather dropped I found myself gravitating to the same favorite items again and again. Rather than do any major shopping in order to feel inspired by my closet, I opted to track the tops I wear. After I [...]

  Our entry way is coming along. There is still one important change that needs to take place… but until then I’d like to share how I’m currently using the area and a few cheap tricks I’ve come up with that look cute and keep things organized. You’ll notice that we scored a beautiful 1880′s [...]

When it comes to art for my home, I am all about making it when possible. It saves money and gives me the exact look and scale I’m going for. Though I definitely have a knack for coming up with new ideas, I don’t take on super complicated projects. A few of my projects for past [...]

  On the organizing front in the new place we’ve been making progress! A few weeks ago I shared Phase One of the tiny 4′x5′ master closet Mr. Lively and I share. As you may recall, it looked like this. Not too bad, but definitely not taking advantage of all the vertical space on the back and [...]

Yesterday Mr. Lively and I worked a bit more on the apartment. Not a lot because I totally needed a break, but we did finish the gallery wall in the back hall. As you may recall, the hall to our bedroom first looked like this before we moved in. Long, white, and kinda boring. To [...]

While Mr. Lively and I worked on the living room curtains I thought that I came up with a killer trick to share with you all. I really believed in a random stroke of genius, I had come up with something new and fresh to offer the design world. But recently on a trip to [...]

When it comes to style there are many ways to be intentional. Having a willingness to play and experiment with fashion and decor is great, but knowing what classics I adore regardless of the season helps me make confident decisions and curate a signature look. With my brand, Jess LC, my focus and direction paired [...]

There is definitely progress happening on the home front. I’ve honored my birthday by treating myself to some home design time. Here is one of the recent updates which makes me so, so happy. Mr. Lively’s bachelor dresser (hailing from the land of Swedish meatballs) is looking a bit spiffier in his new digs. Here [...]
