Open Tabs: What to Watch, 36 Hours in Normandy, Better Posture & More

August 25, 2025 by jessica Leave a Comment

TRAVEL

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia.

Whenever I travel, I like to bring a variety of over-the-counter medication in case I come down with a cold or indigestion. This pill organizer is perfect for keeping everything corralled and eliminating the need to bring all of those original boxes along. (Necessary caveat: make sure the country you’re entering doesn’t require the original label on medication!)

36 Hours in Normandy, France

WATCH

I can’t wait for The Thursday Murder Club movie! It comes out this week. The book was so charming.

Season 4 of The Morning Show is on the horizon, too!

I still haven’t gotten around to watching the final season of And Just Like That…, although I’ve seen plenty of spoilers to know it’s not great. However, I’m still looking forward to seeing it knowing that Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King gave Carrie a perfect ending.

ODDS & ENDS

Loving this faux suede shift dress with the buttons down the sides.

16 tropical drinks for the last few weeks of summer.

Dress up your ponytail.

These awning-stripe pillow cases are too good.

7 Pilates moves for better posture.

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
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.
