Happy Saturday! We’re bracing for a snowstorm today, so we’re keeping close to home with some cleaning and organization projects before walking to a friends’ house for an evening of board games and cocktails. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I love the shape of these affordable sunglasses.

Nikki’s guide to Porto makes me want to go back! (As well as edit my photos from our May 2019 trip to Portugal.)

If you’re not already following Hitha on Instagram for her near-daily Five Smart Reads, go do that now. One article she shared yesterday is about the “Grooming Gap” and its effect on women in the workplace.

It seems that a spicy Calabrian chile butter is what my kitchen has been missing.

This oversize striped sweater looks like the perfect weekend piece.

Have you seen the brilliant billboard that was designed to promote BBC’s new series, Dracula?

Finds Under $50

  • I can’t help myself when I stop by a greenhouse and brought home a pilea peperomioides last week. I’m torn between this planter and this one.
  • This is such a great ruffled blouse! It also comes in plus sizes here.
  • How great is this skirt for a swimsuit cover-up?! I absolutely adore the vintage print. (I’d wear it with the not-under-$50 swimsuit I’m crushing on.)
  • Schoolhouse Electric is having a bedding sale! It’s a great time to snag the pillow shams I bought last year.
  • I have a set of these little bowls and I use them so often for meal prep, toppings, or for portioning out candy.

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.
