5 Things- October

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!

I have a love/hate with family photos. It always s I have a love/hate with family photos. It always sounds like a great idea when you book them, but they always end up being way more work than you think.  Work always ends up being crazy that day, something always goes wrong with someone’s outfit (this year it was Sloane’s adorable pink shoes that I swear I just bought her. They were too tight 🤨- so she threw on her rain boots). The weather is never quite what you expected when you planned everyone’s outfits. I swear I threw my dress on and had 2 minutes to spare before we were out the door.  The stress and planning that entails for 15 minutes of photos is crazy lol. And then you get them back and they perfectly capture your family 💙  I’m grateful we do these every year even if the process is a little crazy #fallfamilyphotos @tessamerrillphotography

My 3 year old loves all things rainbows and it daw My 3 year old loves all things rainbows and it dawned on me the other day- she’s my rainbow baby after so many losses 🌈 IVF, all the years of surgeries, shots, heartache, repeat. Some days you feel like you are just trying to get through the day but yesterday when she was coloring I stopped and took it all in and felt so grateful to have this precious little one ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all of his clothes 😀 He wore this @jcrew pink linen shirt to my baby shower and wore it proudly all day 🩷 He was so excited. After that when he would wear it I would remember he wore it to my shower. It represented all the hard times we went through to get Sloane here and it always took me back to that special day. So now I get to wear it proudly 🩷
There is no more special bond than a daughter and There is no more special bond than a daughter and her father and I have to say I was blessed with one of the best 8/18/46-4/20/25 🩷 My dad always told me ‘if you look good, you feel good’ and that’s when my love of fashion and clothes started.  I will always remember him when I hear an oldies song playing, when I see a classic car (especially if it’s a red 1967 Barracuda), when I’m eating a donut, drinking a hot cup of coffee or when I’m ironing my clothes. Yes I still iron haha but I got that from my dad.  He was always put together and his clothes were always crisp. I know he touched so many lives including mine. He will be greatly missed 🩷I will never forget the last words he said to me and the sound of his voice when he said ‘I love you Moo’. “The best things in life aren’t things”- Art Buchwald— 16 candles was the song we danced to at my wedding and my favorite song as a little girl that we used to dance to
