The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 06.24.16

SIP
I’m a huge fan of gin-based cocktails. I can’t wait to mix up these rhubarb, fennel, and vermouth drinks this weekend.

WATCH
Sarah Jessica Parker is returning to HBO. She’s leaving Carrie Bradshaw — and her quest for marriage — behind with her new show Divorce.

LAUNCH
Have a heartbreakingly adorable pet? Read on for insider info on the world of Instagram-famous pets and their endorsement deals.

GOSSIP
The Devil Wears Prada is still one of my favorite movies, even though it came out 10 years ago. (Can you believe it’s been that long?!) Here are 17 little-known facts about the movie and its production.

KNOW
The UK voted to make its Brexit from the EU yesterday. It’s a long process, expected to take two years for the conscious uncoupling to occur. Here’s a guide for what this means for Americans. I try to stay away from controversial topics — and my opinions on them — on my blog, but this was a terrible decision fueled by racist, anti-immigration talking points (oh, wait, it’s called “nationalism”). Americans can’t even be too judgmental about it, given that Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee and we’re well on our way to alienating ourselves, too.

SURVIVE
Being an Airbnb host doesn’t seem easy — and it’s even harder to be reviewed harshly for things beyond your control. Just reading this essay has made me more conscientious about overnight stays.

NOTABLE SALES
An extra 30% off sale items at Tory Burch with code EXTRA30. (Tempted by these.)
An extra 25% off sale items at Shopbop through Friday with code 25EXTRA. (Debating this.)
An extra 30% sale items through July 5 at Kate Spade with code SUNSHINE. (Stock up on wine totes for the holidays, and this little red crossbody is perfect.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Picked up a budget-friendly black maxi from Target.
Wore a little blue dress.
Daydreamed about what I’m going to wear for the July 4th festivities.
Decided to head to Nashville in October. (I’m already pinning ideas! Let me know of any must-dos!)
Purchased tickets to see Hamilton in Chicago this March. (So excited!)

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
