Weekend Reading

October 21, 2017 by jessica Leave a Comment

I hate just popping in to throw some links your way and then go silent the rest of the week, but goodness, the last couple of weeks have been a doozy! I’m an events manager at a regional business publication and October is my busiest month of the year as we get ready for our annual business expo, which happened on Wednesday. There were plenty of early mornings and late nights at the office, leaving me just enough time to get home in the evening, eat dinner, watch a TV show to unwind, and head to bed. To say I’m exhausted would be an understatement! I’m taking Monday and Tuesday off next week for some R&R and to catch up on a few projects around the house (like finally installing our entryway light fixture which we did this morning and planting tulip bulbs) and plan our Halloween costumes. I can’t tell you how excited I am for a mini break! What are you up to this weekend?

Weekend Reading:

  • Alright, before we talk about anything else, I need to draw your attention to one of my favorite sales of the year. I finally snagged this wooden beaded bag that I was crushing on a few months ago. ($160 is much more reasonable than $428, right?) New items keep popping up, so be sure to check back throughout the weekend. I’m tempted to add these beauties to my collection, too!
  • Speaking of bags, have you perused Coach lately? I still have a weird prejudice against the brand after it was the designer of choice for suburban moms and high school girls. That’s so unfair, isn’t it? Anyway, I found myself browsing the site the other day and fell head-over-heels for this understated little purse. It’s the perfect size for your essentials and looks so polished.
  • A list of the best Halloween movies to watch on Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix.
  • Before your close up your house or apartment for winter, tackle this cleaning checklist.
  • A festive fall cocktail that’s a cinch to make.
  • Can you teach good taste?
  • You’re not imagining it; dogs do use facial expressions to communicate with you.
  • This tiered bell-sleeve top is perfection. I love it in black.
  • Turn grocery store flowers into beautiful bouquets.
  • Don’t forget to toast your pumpkin seeds after carving pumpkins!

Five Under $50:

  • String this quirky charm onto a delicate gold chain.
  • Use code FRIENDS to take 50% off this wrap skirt.
  • Sequin earrings are equal parts ridiculous and amazing. I’m torn between black and pink.
  • This emerald dress is gorgeous.
  • Faux fur stoles are incredibly warm. Get one before winter!

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
