Weekend Reading

Weekend Reading 09.08.17

Happy Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend. In part because I have this blouse on its way to me today, but also because I’m looking forward to fall-like temperatures. Few things are better than making a hearty meal when it’s chilly outside! We don’t have any plans other than tinkering with a few house projects and squeezing in bike rides, but something always comes up! What are you up to?

Weekend Reading:

  • Why a short work week makes it difficult to remember what day it is.
  • ‘Tis the season of pumpkin-flavored everything. I typically get excited about the return of the #PSL, only to be disgusted by how sweet it is and ditch my latte halfway through! That said, I’m all about pumpkin for other things like these scones with cinnamon butter.
  • Jenny Bird’s latest release is topping my wish list.
  • A “State of the Blog” address over at Design*Sponge explores how blogging is changing.
  • Start planning a trip to see the fall colors! Evidently this year’s foliage is going to be even more stunning than usual.
  • This long-sleeve dress is lovely for fall, and the color is perfectly retro. At $59 with free returns, it’s worth a try!
  • Equifax was hacked and they’re completely dropping the ball in the aftermath. Keep an eye on your transactions and credit report.
  • Just because you weren’t invited to any Fashion Week shows doesn’t mean you can’t partake in the festivities! Here’s a list of Fashion Week events that are open to everyone.
  • A surprising insight into L’Oréal’s past.
  • I just bought these and they are perfect.

Five Under $50:

  • Dainty flowers and little bows make for one pretty blouse.
  • Oversize architectural earrings.
  • A striped pajama set that’s perfect for lazy Sunday mornings.
  • I can’t get enough stripes, especially when there’s a sweater with a little ruffle detail at the sleeve.
  • A coffee table book that’s equal parts amazing and bizarre.

Earlier This Week:

  • A snapshot from our Labor Day adventure.
  • This week’s most coveted. I’ve got my eye on that mirror for our bedroom.
  • Sweater weather is my favorite, especially when it’s still warm enough to wear my new denim mini skirt.
  • Sharing our living room plans. (I’m hopeful that wallpaper is as amazing in person as it looks online!)

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
