The Weekend Guide

November 4, 2016 by jessica 3 Comments

The Weekend Guide 11.04.16

Happy Friday! It’s been entirely too long since I’ve blogged regularly, much less put together “The Weekend Guide” for your perusal. As usual, September and October were two stress-filled months at work that left me with little personal time and the last thing I wanted to do during those fleeting moments was sit in front of a computer! Happily, though, that’s behind me and our little getaway to Kentucky and Tennessee left me refreshed and eager to dive back into the blog.

EAT
Airline food gets a bad rap, but it’s not all terrible. Learn more from an in-flight dining critic who has a surprisingly captivating Instagram feed of his own mile-high dining experiences.

VOTE
Election Day on Nov. 8 is fast approaching! Make sure you’re prepared with the location of your polling place and what will be on your ballot.

STOP
The word fiancé is falling out of vogue with Millennials.

LEARN
Kate Spade’s Cameron Street collection quickly became a huge success when it debuted earlier this year. The brand is focusing on the collection’s popularity this holiday season with more inventory and accessories like interchangeable straps to personalize the handbags. (Personally, the last thing I need is a new purse, but I’ve considered this strap to add a little pep to my black bucket bag. Although, I’ll probably go with this Rebecca Minkoff option instead.)

SWIPE
I’d love to live in a world of cashless transactions and there’s a few countries already on their way to making that a reality.

SIP
With a combination of gin, grapefruit, and maraschino, this 1930s-inspired cocktail is on my must-sip list for the weekend. Cheers!

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.

• 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.

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.
