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 – There are so many beautiful spaces in Audrey Interiors’ portfolio (so much great pattern usage!), but I was immediately drawn to this bathroom with a woven wallpaper. I’ve been dreaming of doing something similar in my future office. I also love grasscloth, but I’m weird about seeing the seams, so it sounds like a weave may be a better solution for me! They both provide such great texture and visual interest!
2 – Don’t sleep on Ann Taylor this season! They have some really beautiful clothes right now. I ordered this corduroy blazer and it just arrived, and I love it so much! Sadly it’s now already only available in petite sizing but it’s a good one! It reminds me so much of a gorgeous J. Crew velvet one I had in a similar shade a decade or so ago and got so much use out of! And I love the faux suede elbow patches!
Below are a few more of their products I’m considering right now. Tap any of the images below for more information.
3 – About six weeks ago, I was gifted this shampoo and conditioner set. I’ve shared I’m on a bit of a hair journey right now to get it healthier and have less shedding and breakage. The drug store Herbal Essences brand wasn’t cutting it any more 😉 I’ve used Roz exclusively for the past month or so now and I love it so much, I just ordered their refill set. They come in metal bottles, so if you reorder, you can simply order the refill bundles (or they’re sold individually). Their products are pricey, I was really excited to see they just launched limited edition gift sets yesterday in time for the holidays. It’s a great way to try some products at a discount if you have interest, since there are sets with minis as well as some with full-sizes! The scent is heavenly and I’ve noticed a definite improvement in my hair – so much softer and less strawlike. Highly recommended – there are also tons of reviews on their site with great feedback, too!
4 – If you’re one of fall’s biggest fans, you’ve probably heard of the Kiel James Patrick brand and Instagram account, as well as his wife, Sarah’s. They’re iconic New England and fall seems to be when they shine the most. They have so many gorgeous clothing items for him and her, as well as jewelry, accessories, pet items and more. I recently received this bracelet (adjustable one-size) along with this one (I went with size L and it’s generously sized – also comes in ivory) and they are so cute individually, but I love them stacked! They’re both made in the USA (handcrafted in Rhode Island), come packaged so well, have little velvet bags for storing, and are of such great quality. Perfect for gifting (to others or yourself)! I actually found them both paired in the image below! They’re styled there more for summer, but I find them working great with my fall outfits, as well!
5 – I’m headed to Palm Springs for an Amazon conference on Sunday. We’re supposed to wear head-to-toe Amazon where possible so I’ve searched a lot of items this past week. Oddly enough, one of my favorite finds is these earrings. They look like they could be from Tuckernuck or similar but they’re under $10! I liked them so much, I ordered this pair which will arrive today. They’re obviously not real stones, but I think they’re really beautiful! I’m also planning to wear this dress one of the days. It’s a really flattering fit that’s a smidge short for me at 5’9″ (but I have a super long torso too). I’m planning to pair it with brown tights and boots and I think it will be a cute combo! I love that it’s 33% off on Amazon too (places like Macy’s still have it full price).
If you would like to follow along on more of my home decor, DIY, lifestyle, travel and other posts, I’d love to have you join me on any of the below channels:
Coming to Palm Springs? Or just the Coachella Valley? It has finally cooled off here, but should be back near 90° by this weekend. Need tips? Lemme know!
We’re in Palm Springs! I would love tips and time to explore but they have our agenda pretty packed for the two days. I think we have lunch and dinner on our own though both days so if you have any recs for that, I’d love to hear! We’re only 2 miles from the airport. Thank you!!
Hello! I can almost guess where you are staying. I worked 19 years at a downtown steakhouse as well as other restaurants. Here are a few places:
Copley’s-fabulous and a great reputation and menu. Delightful food.
ZIN/Zin American Bistro- My former coworker Mindy Reed owns this place (and others) and the food is terrific and has a wonderful wine list. If fact, Ms Copley and Mindy were the instigators of Palm Springs Restaurant week.
Alice B- I have not been there, but heard great things. A very small menu but a top notch kitchen.
Spencer’s-A very popular place, in a beautiful setting. Just up Baristo at the Tennis Club.
Thompson Hotel-I believe the restaurant is called Lola Rose and is said to be outstanding.I have not been here, though.
All these places are in or very close to downtown.
Good margarita? Las Casuelas Terraza- They make their own mix and it is terrific. (I worked there in the late 80s).
There are many places right downtown and walking distance—without heels!
Weather should be great, maybe 90° in the sun and nice and cool at night. Bring a sweater for the evenings. Hope you have a great time, friend!
This all sounds so perfect! Thank you so much for your insight! I grew up in Utah so am a desert girl at heart (but still love the beach obviously). But I really appreciate those hot days and cool nights. I know there will be a lot of people in town who are much more prepared than we are with reservations so your list gives us so many options. THANK YOU!!!
