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.

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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
