Weekend Reading 10.28.17

Happy Halloween weekend! We are beyond excited for our first holiday in the house, so much so that we’re going to leave work early on Tuesday so we don’t miss a single Trick-or-Treater! We have some last-minute prep work to do this weekend, though, including pumpkin carving and finishing our costumes. (We’re going as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. It’s an easy somewhat-last-minute couple’s costume to pull off!) We’re also toying with the idea of getting a case of mini beer cans or bottles for the adults. (Why should the kids have all the fun?) What are you up to this weekend?

Weekend Reading

  • Celebrate the return of Stranger Things with these viewing party ideas. (Assuming you haven’t binge-watched the entire season yet!)
  • I know we’re all conditioned (pun!) to use conditioner, but I’m in the no-conditioner camp. It makes my hair look sad and limp.
  • Halloween didn’t always have treats.
  • Sorel teamed up with Chloe to make a pair of ultra chic snow boots. I’m bummed they’re already sold out!
  • How to get your home ready for a dinner party. (Our house has such a good flow between the living room, dining room, and deck. We’re hoping that we’ll have these areas at a good point next year to host a holiday gathering or two!)
  • Seeing Alicia Silverstone revisit her iconic plaid ensemble from Clueless made my day.
  • An off-the-shoulder sweater is an unexpectedly sexy way to get cozy. (Here’s another great option if that one sells out in your size. It looks like it’s popular!)
  • Is it time for Bacon to have his own bedroom furniture? Would that make me too much of a crazy cat lady?
  • This clear pumpkin pie is waiting for its Instagram moment. (There’s even a recipe for it!)
  • These are on my wish list for fall.

Five Under $50

  • Can you believe this chic mini bag is only $27?!
  • I’m loving the ruffles on this cami. (You could easily dress up the black one for the holidays!)
  • Wear dark floral palazzo pants with a slinky black cami this holiday season.
  • A pretty bell-sleeve top.
  • Earrings that look like modern art.

Earlier This Week:

  • Baubles on a budget.
  • A few items on our radar this month.
  • We took Monday and Tuesday off this week and hung out with this guy.
  • Bought a new houseplant. (I’m addicted.)
  • More weekend links over at Curated Couple.

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.
