Weekend Roundup

You may have heard that the #NSale started. 😉 I know it’s difficult not to get sucked into the hype of fall clothes at a pre-season discount, but if you’ve shopped the sale for years, you’ll know it’s basically the same collection of worn-in jeans, neutral ankle boots, and duster sweaters year after year. I did spot a few items that would fill gaps in my closest: a tweed coat in a length I love, a work-appropriate dress in black (and maybe leopard), and this cute faux-wrap sweater. The terrazzo coasters are pretty cute, too. If any of those items remain when the sale opens to the general public, I’ll give it a go since last year’s early-access tip doesn’t work anymore. I’ve purchased fewer things so far this year (thus fewer outfit posts) and it’s been refreshing to make sure that every purchase for my closet or home is intentional and isn’t influenced by a whim.

If you’ve been yearning for a set of vintage-inspired webbed lawn chairs, here you go.

I’m always on the lookout for easy weekday meals and I’m totally making these szechuan noodles with sesame chili oil next week.

I know you’ve seen Antelope Canyon on Instagram. It’s that gorgeous natural formation in Arizona with the red-orange swirls that graces the feed of mega influencers at least once. This is an interesting piece on how the canyon’s rise in Insta-popularity and the accompanying tourism has left a negative influence on the neighboring small town of Page and a Navajo tribe.

It’s an impractical bag shape, but that doesn’t negate how darn cute this mini train case is.

I enjoyed this conversation between influencers Grace Atwood and Krystal Bick for The Atlantic on how they balance their personal life with business.

As some of you know, I’ve become lactose-intolerant as I’ve gotten older. I can usually eat cheese and yogurt without symptoms, but cream and milk? Hard pass. (Lactaid doesn’t do much good.) I usually don’t think about my dietary restrictions until I’m craving ice cream. Surprisingly, I can eat McDonald’s cones and sundaes without incident (which is kind of concerning), but I’ve recently become obsessed with an actual non-dairy ice cream: So Delicious’ cashew caramel cluster. You should try it even if you drink milk.

We breezed through the third season of Stranger Things in just a few days. So. Good. Did you know that the Starcourt Mall where they filmed is an actual dying mall in Georgia and not a sound stage?

Finds Under $50:

  • I finally caved and ordered a headband. I figured that the honey color was the perfect low-key way to try the trend.
  • This dress is perfect for summer weddings.
  • I love these pajama shorts and just placed an order for them along with this cami.
  • A single freshwater pearl bead makes for an eye-catching necklace.
  • These drawstring shorts come in six colors.

Earlier This Week:

  • The items I have my eye on right now. (I’m all about dresses that barely touch the skin with all of this humidity!)

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!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. #c It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

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.)
