The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 07.01.16

COO
Farm animals wearing expensive jewelry is one of my favorite things of the week. (Most of their gems cost more than what’s in my jewelry box!)

SPEND
We all know that spending time outdoors is good for you, but it could be better than we ever thought possible with a measurable reduction in stress, higher levels of creativity, and spiritual and emotional benefits. Just 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough to start reaping the benefits.

LEARN
Honeymoon history is as surprising as the word’s etymology. (On a related note, how cute is that photo from Danielle’s wedding? Her vintage dress is gorgeous, too.)

SNAP
Fourth of July weekend means an influx of firework Instagrams. Make yours the best of the bunch with these tips.

MEET
You know how much I love learning more about jewelry designers. New-to-me designer Ina Beissner has caught my attention with this interview. Browse her collection here.

BRING
Potlucks and cookouts are usually code for unhealthy meals, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Here are two recipes to try next time you’re asked to bring a dish to pass.

NOTABLE SALES
Anthropologie: extra 30% off sale with code EVENBETTER
Furbish Studio: 20% off sitewide with code FIREWORKS
J.Crew: 40% off summer styles here with code COOLSTYLES
Lele Sadoughi: summer steals under $100
LOFT: 50% off everything with code JULY4TH
Lulu Frost: 20% off with code JULY20
Rebecca Taylor: extra 40% off sale with code FIREWORKS
Tory Burch: extra 30% off sale with code EXTRA30

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Summer’s most interesting bag.
A collection of pretty neutrals.
Another month, another set of sartorial confessions.
Finally ponied up for a Tory Burch Fitbit bracelet, now on super sale.
I also ordered a skort for cycling, since I’m just not on board with shorts.

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. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
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.

(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.
