Weekend Reading

Weekend Reading 09.23.17

Yesterday was the first day of autumn and I only wish that it felt, well, like fall! We’re in for the hottest first-fall weekend on record in here in Madison with temperatures hovering around 90 degrees. (Whoever says that climate change isn’t real is full of it!) We’ll be out and about enjoying these last few days of summer weather over the weekend. But we’re most excited about our couch arriving today! It’s been almost 10 weeks and I can’t wait to finally have it here!

Weekend Reading:

  • Dave splurged and bought us both the iPhone 8. I’m thrilled because I’ve been having battery issues with my old one. (It would completely shut off when it the charge dropped to 30% and wouldn’t reboot until it was plugged in. It was frustrating when it happened in Copenhagen last year and I needed the map to get around!) With a new phone comes a new case, of course. Rifle Paper Co. is offering free shipping on phone case orders. Casetify is also offering free shipping. I’m kind of into this design.
  • It sounds like Instagram might be switching to a 4 x 4 grid rather than the 3 x 3. I don’t like it. You?
  • Sorry, but The Devil Wears Prada cerulean speech is wrong.
  • My brother lives in Washington and I still haven’t been out to visit! We really need to do a combined trip of visiting him and spending a few days in Seattle. This guide is making me antsy to book tickets.
  • This should probably serve as your Halloween costume inspiration.
  • I’m seriously considering this plaid coat.
  • The inside story of Donatella Versace’s homage to her brother Gianni.
  • The BBC is going to air a Harry Potter documentary.
  • Did you see this major tech glitch over at Anthro? Oops!
  • There are few things I love more than lounging around the house in pajamas on a weekend morning. I’m loving this striped set!

Five Under $50:

  • An elegant blouse to wear with jeans or tuck into a skirt.
  • This is the perfect summer-to-fall top for when temperatures are on the warmer side. Isn’t the color gorgeous?
  • I’m all about the blue-and-black pairing on this floral dress.
  • These floral post earrings are so sweet!
  • A sheer bell-sleeve blouse.

Earlier This Week:

  • The best blouse for early fall.
  • More fashionable fall favorites.
  • I can’t get enough of thread-wrapped bauble earrings.
  • My favorite pieces from Target’s Project 62 collection.
  • More weekend links over at Curated Couple.

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
