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.

The Weekend Guide 08.19.16

GAIN
Interior designers always have the inside scoop on the best places to scout out home decor. Here are seven shops to keep on your radar.

MEET
There’s a new class of CDFA Fashion Incubator designers. Meet them here. (I can’t pick a favorite!)

READ
Have you watched Stranger Things yet? We wrapped up the season last week. I didn’t love it the way some people did, but still really enjoyed the season and its nod to ’80s horror motifs.

SHOP
Tory Burch’s Private Sale is coming to a close today. I picked up a merino wool knit cap topped with a fluffy fur pom pom. Whether we want to admit it or not, it’ll be winter eventually. (How’s that for pessimism?)

TRAVEL
I’m all about visiting local markets when I’m overseas, so I’m bookmarking this one if we ever find ourselves in Paris.

SIP
This is probably the prettiest smoothie I’ve ever seen and it’s made with natural ingredients.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Took part in a Clutter Cleanse Challenge.
Coveted more pre-fall pieces.
Wore a wooden watch.
Added a vintage snake necklace to my collection.
Floated away with this cutie.
Headed up north to visit my parents and will be attending the Tall Ships Festival in Duluth today!

PLUS, ENTER TO WIN!
There’s still time to enter to win a travel atomizer from Travalo valued at $50!

The Weekend Guide 08.05.16

KNOW
The Zika virus has officially hit Florida and now the state must brace for the impact on its tourism industry.

PEEK
I loved going to the fabric store with my mom when I was young, and spent most of the time pouring over the vast array of possibilities in the McCall pattern book. (It was one of my motivations to learn how to sew!) Here’s a peek into the the company.

LEARN
Manu Atelier’s bags are quickly rising to It bag status. Learn more about the Turkish designer here and then shop the bags here. I’m crazy about this blue suede fringe number that’s sold out. Fingers crossed that it gets restocked!

LUST
How amazing are these?! However, I have no place to wear them — and no closet space for something so impractical! This tempting fur bag would get a lot more use.

DECORATE
Making your home look expensive doesn’t have to break the bank.

SIP
Booze and Greek yogurt? I’m in breakfast cocktail heaven!

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Got sporty with Stan Smith sneakers and a jersey dress.
Coveted the best late-summer pieces.
Enjoyed the sweetest subscription box yet.
Bought this dress. It looks so good with these.

The Weekend Guide 07.29.16

READ
Michelle Obama’s dress at the Democratic National Convention may have been understated, but her choice to feature American designer Christian Siriano may have hinted at a political statement.

TRY
Combining cucumbers and peaches doesn’t seem like a winning flavor profile, but this summer salad actually sounds amazing.

MAKE
Because all frozen desserts are better with booze in them…

SAVE
An extra 25% off at Clare V. this weekend! Use code CVSUMMER25 through Aug. 1. This is my favorite pouch.

ANTICIPATE
JetBlue just announced flights from Florida to Cuba for just $99 each way, making travel to the country more enticing than ever. Your trip still has to fall under one of the 12 approved categories for obtaining a visa. I wonder if blogging falls under “journalistic activity.” Worth a shot?

STOP
“Nine Non-Threatening Leadership Strategies for Women” is by far the best thing on the internet this week.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Wore a swingy slip dress and my new favorite shoes.
Put together the ultimate pre-fall wish list.
Confessed this month’s shopping sins.
Found my next outfit photo location.
Bought this dress two hours ago. Oops!

SHOP
Paige Gemmel nails vintage Palm Beach chic with her artwork now available at Society Social. See a piece styled in this room.

EMBRACE
I’ve kept many of my bright summer piece stored away this summer, opting for a more neutral palette. This editorial will make you want to do the same.

WEAR
I just came across this pair of earrings. Aren’t they perfect for summer? The brass beauties are only $30 and are handmade in Kenya, plus a portion of every sale will go to A Voice is Heard.

SMILE
Children in England named their elementary school after the infamous street artist Banksy. Banksy responded in the best possible way.

ADMIRE
You already know how much I adore Lele Sadoughi’s jewelry and now I’m coveting her interior style. Take a tour of her home here.

REMINISCE
Lisa Frank now has a clothing line. My grade-school self is geeking out.

NOTABLE SALES

LOFT: 30% off regular-price styles with code VACAY; extra 60% off sale
Anthro: 20% off regular-price items through the weekend

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

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!

For as stressful as this project has been, it’s For as stressful as this project has been, it’s amazing to see it come together. (Swipe for a before!) 

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
