The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 07.15.16

FIRST THINGS FIRST…

It seems like every week there’s another awful thing happening in the world. Last night, a flat-bed truck plowed into a Bastille Day celebration in Nice killing 84 people. I don’t have the words to express how incredibly sad, heartbreaking, and shocking yet another terrorist attack is. While evidence proves that the world is becoming less violent, it doesn’t always feel that way.

REMINISCE
Reese Witherspoon took a trip down memory lane showing off — and trying on — some her costumes from Legally Blonde. Bend and snap, ladies!

DISCOVER
Before the cronut, there were fondue parties, ranch dressing on everything, and ladies flocking to the bar to order a cosmo. See what foods were popular over the last 40 years.

KNOW
I’m totally into Pokémon Go, especially because the location-based, augmented reality game is being considered a fitness fad, urging people to get outdoors and walk to catch ’em all. Personally, I enjoy taking a couple of 10-minute walks to break up the work day. Did you know the game was actually conceived two years ago as an April Fool’s joke?

SEE
Photographer Oliver Curtis turned his back on the world’s most famous landmarks to take photos in the “wrong” direction.

ENJOY
Researchers have discovered a strong link between those who drink more and those who exercise more.

MAKE
If you’ve dreamed of heading to New York Fashion Week, Cathy’s guide is a must read. She walks you through the steps to secure a hotel, and snag invitations to shows and presentations. Fair warning: you’ll have to hustle to make it happen.

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Enter to win a personalized gemstone necklace.
Sipping on tropical drinks in Chicago.
A frond-print dress in the Windy City.
This week’s most coveted items are perfect for late summer.
My thoughts on the #NSale.

I recently repainted the wall in our bedroom (that’s closer to a green-blue-grey IRL) and it’s serving up fall vibes with the faux maple stems that are hanging out just until our new lamps arrive.
