The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 09.25.15

BEAUTIFY
Give your blog’s brand a quick makeover with these easy fixes.

COMPARE
Now that Halloween candy is out in full force, you should read this comprehensive comparison guide to figure out which mini versions are better than their full-size counterparts.

WEAR
This season’s jewelry goes big, bold, and sculptural. Find inspiration in this slideshow.

SIP
I’m instituting an at-home cocktail hour once the weather turns cold enough to keep us indoors after work on Fridays. This autumn cocktail with apple and maple syrup sounds like the perfect way to kickoff the budding tradition.

LEARN
The first episode of Sex and the City premiered 17 years ago. (Holy crap, right?) Here’s how the series still holds up today — and how things have changed.

ESCAPE
Key West has never been on my list of must-visit places, until I came across this guide on Vogue.com.

FINDS UNDER $55

EARLIER THIS WEEK
A ’70-inspired dress I can’t stop wearing.
A beautiful, sweetly scented orange water candle.
The latest addition to my handbag collection.
A bit of plaid for fall.

    Key west is so cute, they have this restaurant on a private island that you have to make reservation to and you get on the ferry. I need to get the name for you if you ever want to go.

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

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.
