The Weekend Guide

The Weekend Guide 11.25.16

I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling to move today thanks to yesterday’s overindulgence in stuffing and pie. I don’t know if I even have the energy (or interest) to whip out my credit card and participate in the Black Friday shopping circus! The day after Thanksgiving usually turns into a shopping extravaganza for myself and I have my eye on exactly one item: a metallic silver bag that I’ll wear all winter. Everything else? Eh. I’d rather save my money for a trip abroad next year. Okay, and the clothes to outfit that excursion. (There are fantastic deals on spring flights to Amsterdam from Chicago!) What about you? Tell me what you bought so I can live vicariously through you!

LEARN
Historians differ on how to archive fashion. Do they opt for a designer’s untouched artistic vision or the influence of a client on a designer’s work?

CONNECT
This handy map includes the WiFi passwords for airports all over the world.

BAKE
Even if you’re reeling from Thanksgiving, loosen that belt buckle another notch and head to the kitchen to whip up a batch of peppermint mocha cookies.

SIP
The next 30 days are all about sugar and high fat items. May as well add a salted caramel white Russian to the mix.

REFRESH
I’m always amazed at how quickly a coat of dark paint transforms a room. I’m loving this bathroom refresh.

WATCH
I hope you’re spending the day glued to Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I won’t have a chance to binge it until Sunday and I hope it’s not as uncomfortably awkward as the promotional posters were! I loved reading this overview of seasons three and four from two people who hadn’t watched the show before. (Seriously, Dean was the worst.)

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Added a little color this winter.
Shared a gift guide for the coworkers you actually like. (Tee hee.)
Rounded up ten of the prettiest polishes for winter.
Celebrated Thanksgiving.

For You…

I bought this dress recently and it’s a good one! The nipped-in waist is flattering and it looks just as cute with sneakers as it does with ballet flats.

For Home…


Outdoor cocktailing is right around the corner, making it the perfect time to stock up on acrylic drinkware.

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

Interested in trying it yourself? Use my link to get 40% off your first order and free shipping! That’s 4 bottles of wine for just $39! Learn more at winc.mivh.net/Ryyn3v

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
