Weekend Links

Weekend Links 02.02.18

Today marks seven years that Dave and I have been together! We’re heading to Milwaukee this weekend for a little getaway to mark the occasion where we’ll be hunting for vintage furniture, scouring record stores to add to our vinyl collection, wandering around the Third Ward, experiencing the ice bars, and meeting up with friends at Mitten Fest. In other news, we booked a trip to Austin for my 35th birthday at the end of May! If you have any recommendations, let me know!

Weekend Links:

  • Over five years, a waiter collected 8,000 origami sculptures left by customers.
  • What you need to know when buying furniture.
  • Ten anniversaries worth traveling for.
  • How cute is this planter?
  • All of the 2018 Super Bowl ads that have been released thus far.
  • Thoughts on how to save shopping malls.
  • Does data science work when it comes to dating?
  • Try these breathing techniques the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed.
  • The science of swearing.
  • There’s a ceiling fan at the top of our stairs and it’s pretty much the stupidest place for one. We’re likely going to replace it with this beauty.
  • Menswear revenue is expected to outpace the womenswear market.

Finds Under $50:

  • Vintage-inspired glasses to update your home bar.
  • A sweet gingham dress.
  • Pick your favorite shade of Pantone’s Color of the Year for your next manicure.
  • A romantic and flattering wrap dress.
  • A pair of geometric statement earrings.

Earlier This Week:

  • Reflecting on a month of [almost] no shopping.
  • The sunglasses in this week’s “The Coveted” are ridiculous in a really fun way, and they’re only $16.
  • I lost four followers on Bloglovin’ after posting this outfit. Meh. I like the top! 😉
  • I can’t resist a selfie when there’s a sunburst mirror around.
  • This is why I can’t always hate on winter in Wisconsin.

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.
