Weekend Reading

Weekend Reading 12.29.17

There are two more days left of 2017 and I can’t wait to bid adieu to the year. Sure, there were some fantastic moments that I’ll cherish when I look back at 2017, namely buying our first home, visiting New Orleans (even if we were both sick the entire time), and being featured as one of the city’s most stylish in Madison Magazine. However, 2017 wasn’t one of my favorite years. And judging from my Twitter feed, many of you seem to be in the same boat. So, let’s raise a glass this weekend to welcome 2018 with open, optimistic arms!

Weekend Reading:

  • I love Kirsten’s bedroom makeover.
  • One of the ways we’re saving money is by having date nights at home where we try new recipes. Kimchi udon with scallions is on deck this weekend.
  • Vogue’s best backstage moments of 2017.
  • Eleven champagne cocktails for NYE.
  • I’m considering this simple light fixture for our office. The price is right at just $99, too!
  • The fashion trends you’ll be wearing in 2018.
  • I tend to create in depth itineraries for each trip we take. This is a good reminder to plan a bit less in advance.
  • Thanks to Ella Hansen, Danish Modernism’s most iconic designs were saved.
  • The New York Times recaps a year of style through photographs.
  • Twenty-five New Year’s traditions around the world.

Five Under $50:

  • The perfect t-shirt to wear on NYE.
  • A polka dot blouse.
  • If you love Bauble Bar’s ‘Criselda’ drop earrings, snag this set ASAP. The set includes the blue and pink version for just $28. Even if you don’t like one of the colors, it’s still cheaper than buying them individually.
  • A pretty floral mini dress. (It will look good with tights, too!)
  • Mod flower earrings.

Earlier This Week:

  • Wishing you a very merry Christmas.
  • I’m all about the most colorful ornaments.
  • #2017BestNine
  • My favorite looks of the year.
  • The last wardrobe update of 2017.

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a 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.

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.
