The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 08.27.16

I’m sorry I’m late with this weekend’s guide! I sat down to work on it yesterday and found myself suddenly motivated to sift through our photos from our spring vacation Denmark, edit them, and create a Facebook album to share with family and friends. I’ll share some of them here soon with the travel guide I’m working on. Hopefully, it’ll be next week!

LEARN
Nailing the perfect outfit Instagram isn’t easy, but Marianna breaks it down with ten tips for making your #OOTD stand out.

COO
These photos are probably the cutest things you’ll see all day.

KNOW
The world’s largest diamond was expected to sell for over the $100 million reserve at auction, and yet, it struggled to close at $61 millon. This article offers insights into why that may have happened, along with some background into the diamond industry.

ANTICIPATE
The Coveteur is coming out with a book this October! I can’t wait to get my hands on the coffee table eye candy.

SHOP
We’ve been keeping our eye out for furniture we’d love to buy as we continue with our house hunt. Some things, like a king-size bed and mattress, will happen now (so excited!) and others will be put on the back burner until we close. I’ve bookmarked Kirsten’s post with 30 affordable dining room chairs to reference when we’re finally ready to take the plunge.

MOURN
Fashion icon Sonia Rykiel passed away last week at the age of 86.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Daydreamed about a tropical vacation in this outfit.
Coveted a sophisticated collection of jewel tones.
Went “Behind the Baubles” with Lisi Lerch.

Book Review: The Hundred Dresses

July 30, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

The Hundred Dresses: The Most Iconic Styles of Our Time takes a wonderful tongue-in-cheek approach to chronicling history’s most memorable frocks. A variety of classic styles (the wrap) and pop culture icons (Bjork’s swan dress) are covered by author and fellow blogger Erin McKean. McKean’s signature wit pairs beautifully with Donna Mehalko’s fashion illustrations making for a delightful – and educational – trip down fashion’s memory lane.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few ho My NCAA bracket was busted within the first few hours of the tournament, but there's a much more fun one to take part in: a bagel bracket with @bantambagels -- and you can win a month's supply of the winning flavor! There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
