The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 01.01.16

HAPPY 2016!

TAKE
For many of us, travel plans top our itineraries for 2016. Capture those memories with better photography.

RESOLVE
Making resolutions is easy. Sticking with them? Not so much. Achieve your goals in 2016 with these tips from psychologist Richard Wiseman.

ADOPT
Make the new year count at work with 10 habits worth adopting.

BAKE
One of my goals for 2016 is to try at least three new recipes each month. Raspberry almond scones look like the perfect accompaniment to Saturday morning coffee.

SHOP
There are only a few days left to take an additional 30% off sale items at Tory Burch. I usually use sale events like this to invest in a classic wardrobe staple like an oversize clutch or a cozy sweater. This time around, I purchased this cheeky pillow.

READ
Winter weekends are the perfect excuse to stay in and read. Here are 16 upcoming novels from female authors to add to your Kindle.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Compiled photos of my favorite accessories and outfits from 2015.
Finally got my hands on pineapple shot glasses.

Went down memory lane with snapshots from December.

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.

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.

Find this and the other Schoolhouse items we’re using in the space here: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/bedknobsandbaubles/posts/e01ae8c9-38af-11f0-b5c2-0242ac11000b

(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.
