The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 06.17.16

I came across the Instagram and blog of Liz Clark this week. She’s a California native, surfer, and environmentalist who left a traditional lifestyle to live aboard her 40-foot sailboat and explore the sea. An adorable cat, who she named Amelia, joined the journey. There are so many swoon-worthy photos on her Insta (of both her adveture and her feline first mate) that you’ll want to leave your own 9-to-5 and buy a boat.

PREP
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is right around the corner! Sign up for Nordstrom’s free rewards program now through July 10 to receive a $10 coupon to use during the sale event. Whenever you shop with Nordstrom, you’ll earn one point for every dollar spent. You’ll receive a $20 certificate after accumulating 2,000 points (which seems like a lot, but it probably adds up). I’m bummed that I signed up for the program a couple of weeks ago! I would have loved extra cash to spend!

EAT
I made this Mexican corn dip earlier this week and it’s amazing! I added a teaspoon of cayenne to the recipe, but otherwise followed it as-is. Next time, I’m going to cut the butter in half. I don’t think it needed that much.

LEARN
Cartier’s signature Love bracelet went from a status symbol in the ’70s to a must-have accessory for Millenials. Here’s why that may be. (Not to be terribly judgmental, but that seems ludicrous given its $4,500 entry-level price.)

SHOP
One of my favorite shopping events has begun: the Lulu Frost online sample sale! I’ve got my eye on the Traveler earrings that I missed out on last year. I’m also loving this necklace for holiday parties (too early?) and these quirky earrings.

WATCH
Amy Shumer and Anna Wintour swap careers in this Vogue video. (Anna kills it.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
An update on the house hunt and my dining room decor board.
Coveted a collection of white and gold.
Chatted about girls in glasses.
Found myself tempted by pineapple candlestick holders, but settled on a white throw pillow instead.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

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.
