5 Things- October

Burlwood Console Table | Large Pumpkin | Small Pumpkin | Mini Pumpkin | Lamp | End Table | Chair | Pillow

…

I think I am going to start a new series that I do every month called 5 things. In this, I will share kind of random ‘things’ which can be anything from a new arrivals I’m loving, a home improvement project I’m working on, life in general, something I’m loving for Sloane, etc. I thought maybe it could be fun!

1- J.Crew launched their new arrivals for October (shop my picks here) and wow, they are even better than the previous launch. I am dying for this sweater jacket!!!! The ruffle on the neck is just adorable. I really love the grey and that’s what I added to my cart, but the green is also perfection. I have a feeling this item is going to be excluded from all promos because there has been a lot of buzz around this item. Which makes me so mad. I like getting their 40% off! I actually think I love it enough to pay full price. Once I order it, I will report back on if I like it.

2-Kurt and I haven’t had much TV to watch lately and Kurt’s mom has been raving about Suits. Anytime we see her, she always says how good it is! So we decided to give it a try and I have to say I really like it. I’m not a huge Megan Markle fan, but I like her in this show. It’s also nice that there are a ton of seasons and the episodes are long so plenty to binge on.

3-I know it feels really early to be talking about Christmas, but I always get so excited to decorate! I can’t stop thinking about these adorable wreaths. They come in two sizes, but the little ones would look adorable on chairs or counter stools. I adore the light blue bow, but the navy bow is also super cute. They would also look really cute tacked to a window in your kitchen.

4-I get asked about details on my coffee table a lot and sadly it is sold out. So I wanted to share some coffee tables I have found that I would purchase today if I didn’t have the one I have now. My absolute favorite is this blue one. The blue is just so good!! And I have really been loving anything burlwood, so I think this one is gorgeous. I also really like the legs on this one. It is kind of weird, but in a really good way! They are honestly all so good.

5-I am really excited for Larson’s holiday cookbook which will be launching this month! I use her recipes almost every night to cook from and they are all delicious. This is the cookbook I have. Every holiday, I am always struggling with what to cook as an appetizer, side dish or even a nice breakfast. And it sounds like she has us covered this holiday season! Will be purchasing!

Meet Amanda

Hi- my name is Amanda Faber. My husband and I moved in 2021 into our first home where we are slowly decorating and renovating our 1927 colonial home. My style is a mix between coastal, traditional, modern and grandmillenial. You can expect to find all the best blue and white finds, mixed in with lots of rattan accents. I am also a new mama to my daughter Sloane who was born in 2021! I love to share home décor finds, preppy fashion and all the peonies & hydrangeas from my garden. Welcome to Cashmere & Jeans!

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for f The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for fall- burgundy and light pink!! When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

White jeans for fall…. absolutely!!! These have be White jeans for fall…. absolutely!!! These have been my go to because they are super comfy but somehow still look polished.

And I just ordered my third color of this classic rollneck sweater by @jcrew.  When you love something- buy it in multiples! 

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.

I’m always taking screenshots when I see cute outfits I like and I save them to a folder. This one got saved to ‘fall outfit ideas’. And when I’m feeling stumped and don’t know what to wear I scroll thru my folder to get some inspiration. It’s helped so much!
