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.

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.
