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.

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!
