Weekend Roundup

Why, hello! It’s certainly been awhile since I’ve popped in. Things have been so busy lately that I haven’t carved out much time to blog and share what I’ve been up to. I’ve tinkered with a few house projects, spent a lot of time researching future projects and home purchases, started to edit Portugal photos, and enjoyed time with our friends. We even joined a bocce league with them! And while time to disconnect was nice, I found myself missing this space. So, hi! Realistically, I don’t think I’ll ever commit to posting five days a week again (when was the last time I did that?!), but making time to post three-ish times a week is something I’d love to do. I miss sharing what caught my eye with you! And with that, here are your weekend links:

I can’t get over how much I love Emily Henderson’s mountain house powder room. Those tiles!

The American beauty market has reached “peak mask.”

Who knew that the midi-skirt had a bit of a controversial past?

After years of cooking two burgers at a time on a tailgate grill, we’ve finally splurged on one more fitting of homeowners! Online reviews for that model are good and America’s Test Kitchen agrees, so hopefully it lives it up to its reputation! (It comes in such a pretty blue, but we went with black because it had next-day delivery. I’m way too excited about keeping the oven and stove off this weekend to wait.)

I really hate that flip flops are having a resurgence.

Swedish environmentalists have coined a new term: flygskam, which translates to “flight shame.”

This mango slush sounds like the perfect non-alcoholic way to stay cool when you want something other than a cocktail.

I thought Madison would have had a more consistent heat increase after seeing the temperature stripe graphs for other cities. Let’s hope that we can get back to those cooler bars with sustainable efforts. Look for your city here.

Finds Under $50:

  • With an extra 50% off sale items, this macrame bag is a summer must.
  • I love this sweater tank.
  • I saw these string lights at Target today and I’m thinking about going back for them!
  • I’ve mentioned it before, but I love Old Navy’s swing dresses. They’re as comfortable as wearing a t-shirt, but they look more pulled together. They’re on special for $8, so I ordered three more in black to have on hand when my first one wears out or fades.
  • Snag this blanket for your summer picnics.

Lisbon, Portugal
Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon


Charting the quatrefoil rug’s journey to ubiquity.

This sounds like a lot of work for a cocktail, but I won’t deny that it sounds like it’s worth it. I love gin, rhubarb, and fennel, so it’s right up my alley!

If you loved the beaded tote in this week’s “The Coveted,” here’s a wallet-friendly alternative that comes in under $100.

Seven things that are surprisingly illegal in parts of Europe. (I’m on board with many of these.)

I purchased a pair of bike shorts last weekend to wear under dresses while I, you know, bike. Little did I know, I’m on the verge of trendy.

Jacey’s home is serving as major design inspiration.

My latest Instagram love is Leaf & Paw, a feed dedicated to cat-friendly plants.

Cleaning tips from Airbnb hosts.

Finds Under $50:

  • I saw this macrame bag at Target last week and I can’t stop thinking about it. The quality seemed good, too!
  • These earrings are bold, but the neutral colors make them wearable.
  • Such a great summer sundress.
  • These brass coasters will develop a beautiful patina over time.
  • I love the handles on this colorful tote.
  • I’m ordering this book about the history of color in home decor.

Earlier This Week:

  • Coveting a ’70s-inspired color palette.
  • The jumpsuit I wore in Portugal, along with 12 others I’m loving for summer.

12 Jumpsuits That are Perfect for Summer

June 13, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

Lisbon Azulejos Museum

Wearing: Loft jumpsuit (similar; still available in plus sizes) | Paravel backpack (also love this one) | Prada sunglasses (similar) | hoop earrings (similar) | House of Harlow bracelet (similar) | Lisbon sunburn 😉


This jumpsuit was one of my favorite things to wear on our trip to Portugal, especially in Lisbon. It was often breezy being situated right on the River Tagus and I hate wrestling with the hemline of a dress that’s flirting with the wind. Thus, a lightweight jumpsuit on the warmest days. Below, I’ve rounded up 12 of my favorite jumpsuits for the season!

I couldn’t put down Verity by Colleen Hoover. It’s a must if you’re looking for a summer page-turner. (It’s a free download with Kindle Unlimited.)

Learn how Lele Sadoughi went from launching J.Crew’s jewelry line to designing the must-have headband.

I made this riff on larb earlier this week and it’s so good. We served it with sticky rice, cilantro, scallions, and lime the first night we made it and went with lettuce wraps the next. Both options are delicious for an easy weeknight meal.

I’ve been increasingly aware of how much plastic I use in my daily life. I finally switched to reusable shopping bags, and most importantly, have been remembering to use them consistently. I no longer use plastic straws. But those steps feel insignificant when I look around my bathroom or kitchen and realize that just about everything is packaged in plastic. Sure, some of it is recyclable, but it still feels like I should be doing more to cut back on my plastic usage. That’s why I’m so excited about Loop, a company that’s working with brand powerhouses to reduce plastic consumption. (If you’re interested in signing up after reading that article, you can join the wait list here.)

I love these resin earrings. They’re bold without being over the top, and really tempting with 30% off through Monday.

There are two types of airport people.

The magic of estate sales.

Spring is the best time to repot your houseplants. (If you need a new planter before you start that project, find some of my favorites here.)

How good is this wallpaper?! I’m starting to think about how I’d like to redo our half-bath and that wallpaper would be perfect in there. (That renovation is a long way off. The half-bath is off of the kitchen, which also needs a refresh. I’m not sure which project should come first or if we should do them in tandem.)

Finds Under $50:

  • Woven grass adds texture to this vase.
  • I love the neutral stripes on this summer dress.
  • The pattern of this colorful woven beach tote reminds me of vintage lawn chairs.
  • I don’t know why I want to own this wood sphere, but I do.
  • A flattering wrap top that also comes in extended sizes.

Earlier This Week:

  • What I purchased in May for my closet and my home. (I still can’t get over how much I love the sandals!)
  • I’m still craving neutral colors for summer.

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.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
