The Weekend Guide

READ
Aziz Ansari is undoubtedly my favorite comedian. I’m downloading his new book, Modern Romance, once I’m finished with my current read: Cold Black Earth, which was downloaded for free with our Amazon Prime account (it’s not good, but I’m halfway through and feel like I should stick with it). Read some of Ansari’s romantic insights on the Tory Burch blog.

MEET
This inspiring woman went on a year-long shopping ban and managed to live on just 51% of her income. And to think that we break out in a cold sweat when challenged to a 30-day ban.

LEARN
Can’t keep your off-the-shoulder tops, well, off your shoulders? Try this trick.

DIY
I spotted this gorgeous metal flower pot this week. I’m in no position to drop over $100 on a planter, but it’s the perfect DIY inspiration for a terracotta pot and a can of metallic spray paint. This silver paint has pretty good reviews.

WEAR
Adidas recently released a running shoe prototype made of ocean trash.

KNOW
This piece argues that selfies just might be one of the most visual acts of feminism in decades.

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.
