The Weekend Guide

August 8, 2015 by jessica

BUY
It’s a little early for holiday shopping, but I have Arrow + Sage bookmarked for unique gifts this year. I’m obsessed with the pretty ceramic planters.

SHOP
I’ve been going a little overboard with spending this year and not always on items I’m crazy about a few months later. Here are tips to shop like a stylist — on a budget — to keep your wardrobe in check.

ANTICIPATE
With Brad Goreski at the helm, C. Wonder will relaunch next spring on QVC.

READ
Be one of the first to read Garance Doré’s book, Love Style Life, when it’s released on Oct. 27.

LEARN
Hair doesn’t always react to heat the same way. One mechanical engineer is taking it upon herself to study the science of curly hair.

KNOW
Your DSLR’s manual mode can be a little intimidating. Get acquainted with the basics and start practicing this weekend.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
This week’s five finds under $55.
Nine acres of sunflowers.
Mini moments from July.
My favorite face care products.
Learning to embrace sneakers with dresses.
Meeting up with Fran for cocktails.
A scalloped leather bag to obsess over.

    I’m very interested in the future of C.Wonder as well. I hope the quality and offerings are consistent with what the brand previously established.

    I love Brad! .. but C Wonder for me, is just a rip off of Tory Burch. A cheap one at that.

      Oh, it definitely is, for obvious reasons. However, it looks the brand might be trying to become more whimsical. (Perhaps thanks to Kate Spade’s influence on Brad?)

        Maybe. I hope it works out for them but Tory’s husband starting it was a real slap to her face & frankly I don’t have good vibes about the brand.

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.
