Peek inside the train carriage Wes Anderson designed.

Make a batch of Ted Lasso’s biscuits.

In time for Halloween: the history of cemeteries.

I just ordered a set of garland ties for the upcoming holiday season. They act like a twist tie, which will help garlands stay put on a staircase railing better than Command Hooks do.

Why an art museum turned to OnlyFans.

Even if we don’t realize it, adjectives in English absolutely have an order they must follow.

I loved looking through the galleries of these time capsule homes for sale in the Chicago area.

The cult of the Nap Dress.

Yes, Reese’s pumpkins do taste better than a regular peanut butter cup.

I can’t get over how much I love the print on this blouse.

Snag a set of colorful coupes just in time for holiday entertaining. The peach set is my favorite.

We’ve been talking about going to Oktoberfest for the past couple of years and just booked a Munich hotel for 2022! It’s fully refundable if things change over the next year and flights aren’t even available to book yet, but still! It feels so much more likely now that the hotel is settled! If you’ve been to Munich, please send recommendations! We’re going to do five nights in the city and then head somewhere else (TBD). If Oktoberfest is on your bucket list, here’s a handy guide I came across.

What makes Margot Tenenbaum’s style so good, even 20 years later.

Twelve outdoor sconces under $100.

The layered history of banana pudding.

I’m a huge fan of a physical planner and I have my eye on this one for ’22.

Here are 20 fun facts about James Bond. (We’ve started watching all of the Bond films chronologically. We knocked out Dr. No and From Russia With Love last week.)

This had me cracking up!

I keep clicking on this coat every single day. It’s good, isn’t it? That color!

Did you hear that Eminem opened a restaurant in Detroit called Mom’s Spaghetti? If that’s not ridiculous enough, wait till you watch the commercial.

I’m loving the warm glow cast by these tealight holders.

A look back at Barbie’s Dreamhouse through the years.

How cute are these pajamas? The bunny pattern is surprisingly sophisticated and I love the playful lilac contrast hem and buttons.

It’s pumpkin season and this bread recipe was a favorite last year! It uses an entire can of pumpkin so you don’t have a little bit extra that just goes to waste.

This is fun! You can scroll back through seven decades of IKEA catalogs on the site’s digital museum.

Here’s what I bought and loved last month. (You can save $20 on your first pair of Rothy’s with this link.)

A sneak peek at the fashion on set of the Sex and the City reboot has made my Monday morning!

Did you see this cheeky move by a Danish artist?

A look at the materials we’re using for our bathroom remodels.

I can’t wait to visit Logan Mercantile (pictured above) the next time we’re in Chicago. I love a thoughtfully designed shop and I especially enjoyed reading this interview with the owners.

Celebrating Botox’s 20th anniversary and how it changed the face of aging.

I fell in love with this artist at our local art fair over the weekend. She paints tiny images on paint chips! I’d like to commission a painting with one of the paint colors we have in our home.

Three easy ways to make your home cozy for fall.

There’s a secret society of bakers in Chicago that meets weekly to help keep each other afloat.

I was recently gifted a couple of Beautycounter products to try. It’s only been a few days, but this overnight resurfacing peel is effective and leaves my complexion softer, more even, and brighter. It’s definitely worth trying! (This serum, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to do much. I’ll give it a couple of weeks before an official verdict.)

Lamb keema tacos will be the next new recipe I try.

Today is the last day to take 30% off this cozy coat.
