Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

We’re off to New York today, and I can’t even tell you how excited I am for my inaugural visit to the city — especially when it’s in the midst of the holiday season! I didn’t have time to prep blog posts for my absence, so I’ll be back next Wednesday bursting at the seams with holiday gift guides and a Christmas in NYC photo diary. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Links:

  • Why department store holiday windows still matter.
  • The double standard of success for Michelle Obama and Beyoncé.
  • Apparently it was possible for the White House decorations to be worse this year.
  • I love this glitzy dress on Liz!
  • Nine Christmassy European cities to visit without the crowds.
  • Cats in literature.
  • I had no idea Christmas rental companies existed.
  • These earrings are awfully pretty.
  • While I love gin, I don’t think I’d like that juniper flavor in a latte.
  • How to gracefully decline an invitation.

Finds Under $50:

  • A pair of beautiful sculptural earrings.
  • The perfect pouch to store essentials in your tote bag, which doubles as a clutch. (This is on my Christmas list!)
  • I can’t believe this wrap dress is only $50. It’s so pretty!
  • This book is perfect for the literature lover on your shopping list.
  • A cashmere scarf that comes in 22 colors.

Earlier This Week:

  • A cashmere sweater is a must for casual holiday outfits. (And this particular sweater is now my go-to travel top. It’s so soft and roomy!)
  • Sharing what I bought in November.
  • Gifts under $25.
  • Crazy about my new handbag.
  • An introduction to Art Crate. Snag my print here.

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.
