Weekend Reading

Weekend Reading 09.23.17

Yesterday was the first day of autumn and I only wish that it felt, well, like fall! We’re in for the hottest first-fall weekend on record in here in Madison with temperatures hovering around 90 degrees. (Whoever says that climate change isn’t real is full of it!) We’ll be out and about enjoying these last few days of summer weather over the weekend. But we’re most excited about our couch arriving today! It’s been almost 10 weeks and I can’t wait to finally have it here!

Weekend Reading:

  • Dave splurged and bought us both the iPhone 8. I’m thrilled because I’ve been having battery issues with my old one. (It would completely shut off when it the charge dropped to 30% and wouldn’t reboot until it was plugged in. It was frustrating when it happened in Copenhagen last year and I needed the map to get around!) With a new phone comes a new case, of course. Rifle Paper Co. is offering free shipping on phone case orders. Casetify is also offering free shipping. I’m kind of into this design.
  • It sounds like Instagram might be switching to a 4 x 4 grid rather than the 3 x 3. I don’t like it. You?
  • Sorry, but The Devil Wears Prada cerulean speech is wrong.
  • My brother lives in Washington and I still haven’t been out to visit! We really need to do a combined trip of visiting him and spending a few days in Seattle. This guide is making me antsy to book tickets.
  • This should probably serve as your Halloween costume inspiration.
  • I’m seriously considering this plaid coat.
  • The inside story of Donatella Versace’s homage to her brother Gianni.
  • The BBC is going to air a Harry Potter documentary.
  • Did you see this major tech glitch over at Anthro? Oops!
  • There are few things I love more than lounging around the house in pajamas on a weekend morning. I’m loving this striped set!

Five Under $50:

  • An elegant blouse to wear with jeans or tuck into a skirt.
  • This is the perfect summer-to-fall top for when temperatures are on the warmer side. Isn’t the color gorgeous?
  • I’m all about the blue-and-black pairing on this floral dress.
  • These floral post earrings are so sweet!
  • A sheer bell-sleeve blouse.

Earlier This Week:

  • The best blouse for early fall.
  • More fashionable fall favorites.
  • I can’t get enough of thread-wrapped bauble earrings.
  • My favorite pieces from Target’s Project 62 collection.
  • More weekend links over at Curated Couple.

For You…


I’ve had my eye on these graphic earrings for awhile and now they’re even more tempting at $50.

For Home…


This drink table is perfect for small spaces when you need a place to perch a cocktail. Plus, it doubles as a plant stand!

Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve. They’re practically begging to be used as built-in displays for ceramics! 

(I removed the phone jack, pulled the wires back through the hole, and patched it up, so it’s no longer functional for a landline. I assume a future owner won’t miss it either!)

I can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth C I can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth Christmas in the house! I’ve taken a version of this photo each Christmas to serve as a timeline of the small changes over the years. One thing never changes, though: I think our Christmas tree is the prettiest. 😊 I hope you have a wonderful holiday in however you’re able to celebrate this year. 2020 has been difficult, but we’re in the home stretch now! Sending lots of love your way!

As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite famil As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite family cookie recipe now on the blog! (Find it via the link-in-profile or search for "sugar cookie.”) It never feels like Christmas until I’ve had my mom’s sugar cookies. In a typical year (or even an atypical one like 2020!), I’ll spend a couple of days working on these — baking them the first and decorating them the second — and it immediately puts me in the holiday spirit. Not only are these nostalgic for me as she’s been making them my entire life (there’s even a photo of me, no older than 2 years old, sitting at the kitchen table “helping” with them), they’re hands-down the best sugar cookies I have ever had. And plenty of people agree with not-so-subtle hints to make them each year.

It never really feels like the holiday season unti It never really feels like the holiday season until I’ve made sugar cookies with my mom’s decades old recipe — and until I’ve risked a food-borne illness by snacking on raw dough. I shirked the holiday tradition last year after having been too busy with holiday travel (ten days in Belgium and a long weekend in Chicago left me too busy with other holiday to-dos), but there’s zero excuse to put off baking this year. #AlwaysHome #QuarantineForever
Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... the Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... these are a few of my favorite things. 🎶 (I don't think Julie Andrews would mind tweaking the lyrics a little bit, right? 😉)

Pro tip: Instead of looking at the gift-wrap section for things to decorate your presents, hit up your local craft store. I bought a package of 75 jingle bells, a dozen mini bottlebrush trees, and twine in seasonal colors for just a couple of dollars each. (The wrapping paper is from Target.)
