The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 06.10.16

TRAVEL
Iceland is experience a boom in tourism. (Heck, it’s even on our travel list for next year!) To help curb some of the rapid growth, the government is exploring ways to limit the number of Airbnb rentals through new tax laws.

LEARN
There have been opinion pieces published recently (ahem, New York Times) discussing whether or not office dress codes should be more strict. According to a fashion historian, this shift has been in the works for decades — and likely encompasses our society’s yearn for individualism.

SHOP
There’s a fun sale at Tory Burch with in-season merchandise at a discount! I’m likely going to abstain this time around, unless I come up with a need for this bag or this bag! Shop clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories.

EAT
I’m making these sandwiches for lunch every day next week.

READ
I don’t want to put a damper on your day, but you should really make a point to read — and share — the powerful letter from the Standford rape victim to her attacker.

GIVE
As it turns out, there are lasting benefits to growing up around books.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Enjoyed a lakeside lunch.
Wore a new off-the-shoulder top. (You can snag it here.)
Purchased a door mat (available here) that will be tucked away until we find a home.
Showed off a breezy linen-cotton shirt.
Coveted a tropical selection of items.
Went “Behind the Baubles” with Mary Frances Flowers.

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.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
