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.

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!
