SWOON
As always, Chanel steals the show with its theatrics in Paris.

[spacer]

LEARN
I’m always amazed at how much we don’t know about our own globe. A 10,000-year-old forest was recently discovered in the North Sea.

[spacer]

COO
Life just keeps getting rosier for Toast the Dog. Saved from a puppy mill and now the star of Karen Walker’s new campaign?! (Would anyone like to cast Bacon the Cat in an editorial? It’s time he earns his keep.)

[spacer]

STALK
If geometric jewelry is your thing, bookmark this Etsy shop.

[spacer]

SIGN UP
I think subscription boxes are kind of stupid and I never thought I’d sign up for one. And then I came across Try the World. Every other month, you’ll receive a box filled with treats from a different city around the globe. My first box should arrive in a few weeks. Also intrigued? Sign up with my referral link to save $15 off your order. (You’ll also be giving me a credit for their online shop. I promise to Instagram the global goodies with abandon as a thank you.)

SHOP
The cynic in me knows it’s a marketing ploy, but I still love Kate Spade’s “On Purpose” collection.

PLAN
Shore up your travel plans with The New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2015.” Many are unrealistic for most of us, but it’s fun to daydream.

[spacer]

RESOLVE
Still penning your style resolutions? Find inspiration from Bazaar’s editors.

[spacer]

EAT
This Mexican chop salad is a healthy and delicious option to add to your meal lineup.

[spacer]

WEAR
How cute is this take on Tibi’s splatter skirt? It comes in at just $79 and the knee-length hemline is more universally flattering than the midi length.

[spacer]

ANTICIPATE
Overhaul your summer wardrobe with Lilly Pulitzer’s collaboration with Target. I’m thrilled about the partnership, but others don’t share the same excitement.

[spacer]

WATCH
We started watching You’re the Worst last night. As IMDb puts it, the show “centers on two toxic, self-destructive people who fall in love and attempt a relationship.” It’s cute, hilarious, and unexpected. It’s also so good that we breezed through most of the episodes last night.

DECORATE
We all know to mix high and low fashion and to wear items from multiple designers, but these fashion rules also apply to interior design.

[spacer]

READ
A recent Australian study suggests that fat is released by breathing. Don’t get too excited. You’ll still have to exercise.

[spacer]

WRITE
Mind your manners and send out any remaining thank yous this weekend.

[spacer]

LEARN
Make 2015 your most colorful year yet, but consult this guide first. You don’t want to make the wrong impression!

[spacer]

STAY
If I ever make it to France, it’d be a dream to stay at this abbey-turned-hotel.

[spacer]

HEED
Not only is DVF a fashion powerhouse, she’s one of the most inspirational women alive.

FOLLOW
If you’re not already following Barbie’s Instagram account, you should be. She’s come a long way from the ’80s ensembles I dressed her in.

[spacer]

WEAR
I know nothing about Smith & Cult’s nail polish other than the bottle is really pretty. Has anyone tried it?

[spacer]

RESOLVE
I suspect many of us will be posting about our 2015 resolutions next week. Take a peek at this guide before setting your new year’s goals.

[spacer]

LISTEN
We just finished binge-listening to Serial. SNL’s holiday parody is a hilarious take on the phenomenon.

[spacer]

SHOP
You can take 25% off sale items at Anthropologie. I’m considering a few things to tuck away for next year’s gifting season, like this fluffy owl and a set of perfumed soaps. (Speaking of sales, Nordstrom started its clearance sale, Tory Burch also has an extra 25% off sale items with code NEWYEAR, as does Rebecca Minkoff with code BYE2014.)

[spacer]

DAYDREAM
Thirty-six hours in Casablanca would be heaven. I don’t think I’d ever leave the markets.

TRAVEL
I have no interest in learning how to ski, but this guide does make ski towns sound appealing.

[spacer]

PRINT
How cute are these printable gift tags?

[spacer]

WEAR
I’m drooling over the pre-fall collections. Erdem’s ’60s-inspired pieces are some of my favorites.

[spacer]

WISH
This eye-catching bracelet by MAU is a striking piece on its own, but would also stack nicely with other favorites.

[spacer]

LEARN
A mini history lesson about this leg-baring skirt.

[spacer]

LAUGH
The Hater’s Guide to the Williams Sonoma Catalog is back.

REMINDER
Enter to win jewelry from Gerard Yosca’s latest collection.

Hello!

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. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

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.
