Coffee With Jaclyn No. 3

I’ve been exploring all the local coffee shops in the Gold Coast and wrote this post over my latte at Petit Margeaux. (I also love La Colombe and the vanilla latte at Somerset).  Here are answers to recent questions from you!  Feel free to send your questions my way for the next post!

 

 

Recommendations on the best over the knee boots?

So, if they weren’t a million dollars I would totally love a pair of Stuart Weitzman boots.  For something more affordable, I was recently looking at these from Blondo since they are waterproof. These Vince Camuto’s are really pretty and almost 50% off!

You shared an island or table on your Instagram stories. Can you tell me where that’s from?

Yes! I’ve been meaning to share it. Our Chicago kitchen is tiny, so for storage we bought this stainless steel island and set up a coffee bar.  It’s perfect for our space and incredibly easy to put together.

I’m at a loss for what to get my mother-in-law for Christmas. Any ideas??

My go-to gift for my mom and mother-in-law is often a gift card to her salon.  They both love a manicure or haircut on us!  We have it easy this year in the family gift department since everyone wants framed wedding photos or an album.  I also love giving pretty skincare sets or a personalized leather bag!

I loved the tips in your last beauty post! Do you have any products or suggestions for winter hair static? I think my hair is like yours and it’s incredibly staticky.

Thank you so much!  And I can relate!!  My fine, straight hair gets winter static like mad.  I use a pump of OI oil every other day while my hair is wet and rub it into the ends before drying and styling.  It’s a miracle product.
