For those who celebrate Christmas, I hope your week is the merriest! We had a blissfully lazy weekend around the house, checking off our last-minute holiday chores. It was a welcome break in the action after spending the previous weekend in Chicago celebrating Dave’s 40th birthday and enjoying the city’s holiday décor.

Why we kiss under the mistletoe.

Here are my favorite products of 2021.

For a fun (and easy) appetizer idea, try this antipasto wreath.

I’m beyond thrilled that Instagram is bringing back the chronological feed as an option next year.

Guidelines for achieving your new year’s goals.

These eye-catching floral cocktail rings are so much fun! I also love these sculptural earrings that now come in my favorite shade of pink.

Can an actor’s fashion contract influence the costumes in their films?

I don’t know what we’ll be doing on New Year’s Eve yet, but I will be wearing this festive headband.

How bathing suits shaped the Miss America pageant.

Six retail executives reflect on 2021 and offer insight into the sartorial trends that actually sold.

Have a very merry week!

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
