Weekend Reading

January 7, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

Weekend Reading 01.07.17

INSTA: The next time you’re in the Windy City, make it your mission to check out a few of these Instagram-worthy locations.

LEARN MORE: This week, Hitha wrote a wonderful post about how Planned Parenthood works and shared four things you need to know about the health care provider.

YES, BUT: What happens when you’re excited to marry the love of your life, but the ring isn’t up to par?

LET THERE BE LIGHT: I need this brass floor lamp in my life. While home purchases aren’t prudent until we buy a house, I’m sure we’ll find a spot for this beauty. (Here, Target, take all of my money. Again.)

MEET AGGRETSUKO: I’ve always had a soft spot for Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters. The new office-working red panda, Aggretsuko, just might be my favorite one yet.

YUM: Not only do these chicken gyros look amazing, they’re easy to prepare in a slow cooker. Make a big batch and bring it with you to the office for lunch next week.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

  • Goals for 2017!
  • The warmest winter coat I own.
  • Budget baubles that don’t sacrifice style.
  • Yes, I totally froze to wear this outfit sans tights. #DoItForTheBlog

Weekend Reading 12.30.16

TRIP PLANNING: We’re busy making our travel plans for 2017 and this post is the ultimate escape eye candy. So far, we’re considering Arizona in March (I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon), a long, lazy weekend beachside, and a summer trip to Europe (possibly London).

SHOP: The post-holiday sale at Gorjana continues to be the most tempting thing ever with deeply discounted baubles. They’re perfect for layering together or with your statement-making pieces. I ordered this and I’m tempted to add this to my collection, too.

OOPS: Take a trip down memory lane with 2016’s most awkward fashion moments.

SHOPPING MISTAKES: Personal shoppers weigh in on the 30 shopping mistakes we all make — and how to avoid them.

PARTY PERFECT: Can these flats be any more perfect? I’m thisclose to buy them, but I can’t decide between yellow or pink. I’m leaning toward yellow because it’s more unexpected.

FITNESS TIPS: Easy ways to stay healthy on your next adventure.

HEALTHY EATING: Now that the holiday cookies are finished, it’s time to start eating healthy again. Liz shared 10 healthy recipes to try in the new year.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

  • My final budget update of the year.
  • Favorite outfit posts from 2016.

‘ROUND THE BLOGS: I’m thinking of adding a link-up to the “Weekend Reading” posts for you to share your favorite blog posts from the past week. Yay? Nay? Thoughts?

The Weekend Guide 12.02.16

BAKE
Just five ingredients and 40 minutes yields this sinful cake.

WATCH
H&M partnered with Wes Anderson to create an adorable short film for the holidays.

MEET
Heidi Zak, a MIT graduate, hopes to revolutionize the bra industry with her brand ThirdLove. Plus, meet the women taking a fresh approach to condoms and tampons.

READ
Like many of you, I binge watched Gilmore Girls last weekend. Here are just a few of the articles I enjoyed this week following the visit to Stars Hollow: one, two, and three. And they all contain spoilers. You’ve been warned.

ORGANIZE
My side of the closet is a nightmare. I really need to follow some of this organization advice.

SEE
Spotify mined its user data brilliantly to create its latest ad campaign.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Everything I bought on Black Friday. (The dress is gorgeous in person, but may be too tight on well-endowed ladies.)
November’s shopping sins. (Black Friday excluded.)
Twenty-five holiday dresses under $100.
A gift guide for animal lovers and pets.
And gifts you’ll want to keep for yourself.

The Weekend Guide 09.30.16

ADMIRE
Rihanna channeled a streetwear version of Marie Antoinette for her Fenty x Puma debut in Paris. While it may not be everyone’s style, it’s a gorgeous collection with plenty of Riri’s signature look.

STOP
Stop talking about the weather. Banning small talk leads to happier, more fulfilling relationships.

MAKE
I’m incredible excited to start making potato leek soup again this fall. Here’s a roundup of 32 soups to try.

READ
Consider this my fall reading list.

SHOP
Jenny Bird is my favorite jeweler of the moment. Dave gave me a pair of earrings by the designer for my birthday and I’m just about to order this choker. Also on my wish list, everything in her collaboration with Far + Wide Collective that supports jewelers at Turquoise Mountain in Kabul, Afghanistan.

PAINT
If you think all white paints are equal, you’d be wrong.

NOTABLE SALES
Kate Spade is having another Surprise Sale.
Take an extra 40% off final sale at J.Crew.
Lele Sadoughi has some deep discounts on jewels, like these for $39.
It’s Friends & Family time at Saks Off 5th.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
I bought two items this month, and wore one of them here.
I’ve been working a lot for my 9-to-5 and on a freelance project, so it’s been quiet ’round these parts!

KNOW
Reese Witherspoon is launching a lifestyle brand with Southern influences.

SIP
Cocktail calories add up. Here’s a skinny version of a classic favorite.

[spacer]

SHOP
Need a summer dress for an upcoming event? I have no doubt you’ll find one here. There are over 2,000 options under $150 to choose from. My favorites include a gingham fit-and-flare style (although I’d have it hemmed above my knees), a bright shift with a swingy back (just $64!), and an embroidered tunic dress.

[spacer]

LEARN
1991 marked the beginning of pop music’s turn to rap and hip-hop.

[spacer]

MEET
Anna Jarvis is the woman credited with establishing Mother’s Day, but it wasn’t easy.

[spacer]

ANTICIPATE
Even though The Mindy Project was axed by Fox, there’s a good chance it will have a second life on Hulu. While that’s still up in the air, rest assured that we’ll have at least one more offering from Mindy this year: a new book to be published in September.

[spacer]

IN OTHER NEWS
We’re heading to Indianapolis for Memorial Day weekend. Indy has never been on my must-see list, but we’re driving down to pick up bottles of Upland Brewing Company’s sour release. Is there anything we should add to our itinerary?
