Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – I was scrolling Pinterest last week and this image stopped me in my scroll! It’s one of my favorite home exteriors in Alys Beach, so it was fun to get a glimpse of the interiors from SHM Architects and Interiors. You can take the full tour here.
I love the house so much, I actually took a picture out front back in June of 2023! That blue accent color is just too good!
2 – I tend to find January is the hardest month for me to dress for – regardless if I lived in Utah, Nebraska or Florida! During early winter, I gravitate towards festive prints and colors, so when January rolls around, I have a gap in clothes. Spring colors feel too soon and the festive colors are a no-go. So I’m really liking some of the new pieces J. Crew Factory is offering right now. The color palettes feel just right for January! Plus, they’re all on sale right now!

My friend Rachel and I both bought #6 last year in the same color without even knowing it until we both showed up one day wearing it. Ha! She was in the XS here and I was in the XL (although I could have taken a L because it was pretty broad in the shoulders in this size) so I’d say order your regular size unless you want a looser fit. I’m excited they have four new colors this year! The herringbone quilting is hard to see in this pic, but it’s so cute and the side button snaps make it, in my opinion!
If you’re headed somewhere warm any time soon, they also have such a cute resort wear collection this year! These always tend to sell out very early in the season, so thought I’d share them now while they’re fully stocked!

3 – As we prep to head to the Bahamas this week, I did a quick self-tan session (I didn’t realize just how pasty I had gotten!). I had Kurtis help me out this time so it only took a few minutes. I figured it was worth sharing my favorites! I hate self-tan smell and these two products are the least stinky I’ve found (the face one is by far the best). I use this self-tanner on my body, working in sections and rubbing it in with this mitt (helps so much to eliminate streakiness). It has immediate color so you can see where you’re applying it and then once you shower, some of that will come off and look more natural. The face spray is one I use on my face, neck and chest more frequently, especially in the winter! I usually wash my face, apply moisturizer, and then just spritz it on. If I sleep in it, I try to wear a black or dark v-neck t-shirt. When I’m done with either, I take a few minutes to use my blow dryer on cool setting and blast the wet areas. I try to wait at least 12 hours before rinsing these off, but have gone much less when needed. It definitely ends up being a confidence booster when you plan to wear a bathing suit in the dead of winter!
4 – Pottery Barn just launched a new collection with Kravet, one of my favorite fabric manufacturers. There are a few pieces that feel a bit dated to me, but there are also some really great fresh finds in the blue and white colorways! The dinnerware pieces may be my favorite part of the collection – so good! These block print napkins are also adorable.
I’m also really loving their cachepot collection. These would look so pretty on a front porch or in your kitchen filled with fresh herbs!
Following are a few other pieces I think look promising from the new collection. Tap any of the images below for more details.
5 – If you’re anything like me, you probably love to make simple changes around the house this time of year. I feel like we get a fresh set of eyes once all the holiday decor comes down! I tend to take inventory of what needs to be replaced, donated, cleaned, etc. I have rugs on my radar currently, and thought these were some fun coastal finds maybe you haven’t seen before.
