Weekend Reading

Weekend Reading 06.16.17

image by Ubackdrop

It’s our last weekend of R&R before we’re homeowners! I have packing tape in bulk and piles of boxes to pack, but we’ll likely spend as much time as possible this weekend lounging by the pool and going for walks. We’re not actually moving out of our apartment until the end of July, so we may as well relax before we need to spend every weeknight and weekend working on the house. In the meantime, I’ve spent hours looking at furniture and decor to figure out what direction our house will go in. We love a lot of Scandinavian and mid-century modern pieces, punctuated with unexpected, cheeky or glam details (think brass pineapples, a tufted bench, or this print that I want to put above a bar cabinet). I’ve jokingly dubbed my style “Glamdinavian,” but it totally fits.

WEEKEND READING:

  • Are you washing your hair often enough?
  • Kayu partnered with Net-a-Porter to create exclusive fringe totes. I love the turquoise one!
  • How perfect are these locations for Wes Anderson films?!
  • Reimagining iconic art subjects in the modern world.
  • To say that I’m obsessed with these earrings would be an understatement.
  • Tips to help yourself become more of a morning person.
  • Itching to book a trip abroad? Megan shared her guide to Rome and Fran shared travel tips for Ireland.
  • Shimmering fabric and tassel trim make this top a showstopper.
  • Zendaya dances through nine decades of fashion in 90 seconds.
  • This cactus-themed party is too cute.

FIVE UNDER $50:

  • Pink satin slides for $20.
  • I just placed an order for this dress in the dark floral print. I found reviews indicating that it runs large, which should make for a comfortable, breezy dress on hot days. Plus, the color scheme will transition to fall nicely. (I know, I know. Let’s not talk about autumn yet.)
  • A pair of statement-making gold drop earrings to wear with all of your summer dresses.
  • Tory Burch’s nautical rope-print scarf is being price matched right now.
  • This pinstriped peekaboo-shoulder top is preppy perfection.

ICYMI:

  • You have a few days left to enter to win a new phone case! Good luck!
  • Wearing a striped dress lakeside.
  • A jewelry designer who will help you achieve your dreams of wearing oversize gemstones without being the heir to a fortune.
  • The items I can’t stop thinking about this week.

Have a wonderful weekend!

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.
