Weekend Roundup

I couldn’t put down Verity by Colleen Hoover. It’s a must if you’re looking for a summer page-turner. (It’s a free download with Kindle Unlimited.)

Learn how Lele Sadoughi went from launching J.Crew’s jewelry line to designing the must-have headband.

I made this riff on larb earlier this week and it’s so good. We served it with sticky rice, cilantro, scallions, and lime the first night we made it and went with lettuce wraps the next. Both options are delicious for an easy weeknight meal.

I’ve been increasingly aware of how much plastic I use in my daily life. I finally switched to reusable shopping bags, and most importantly, have been remembering to use them consistently. I no longer use plastic straws. But those steps feel insignificant when I look around my bathroom or kitchen and realize that just about everything is packaged in plastic. Sure, some of it is recyclable, but it still feels like I should be doing more to cut back on my plastic usage. That’s why I’m so excited about Loop, a company that’s working with brand powerhouses to reduce plastic consumption. (If you’re interested in signing up after reading that article, you can join the wait list here.)

I love these resin earrings. They’re bold without being over the top, and really tempting with 30% off through Monday.

There are two types of airport people.

The magic of estate sales.

Spring is the best time to repot your houseplants. (If you need a new planter before you start that project, find some of my favorites here.)

How good is this wallpaper?! I’m starting to think about how I’d like to redo our half-bath and that wallpaper would be perfect in there. (That renovation is a long way off. The half-bath is off of the kitchen, which also needs a refresh. I’m not sure which project should come first or if we should do them in tandem.)

Finds Under $50:

  • Woven grass adds texture to this vase.
  • I love the neutral stripes on this summer dress.
  • The pattern of this colorful woven beach tote reminds me of vintage lawn chairs.
  • I don’t know why I want to own this wood sphere, but I do.
  • A flattering wrap top that also comes in extended sizes.

Earlier This Week:

  • What I purchased in May for my closet and my home. (I still can’t get over how much I love the sandals!)
  • I’m still craving neutral colors for summer.

For You…

The perfect use-all-summer straw tote.

For Home…


I don’t have a spot for it, but I love Schoolhouse’s latest addition to their lighting collection.

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

Interested in trying it yourself? Use my link to get 40% off your first order and free shipping! That’s 4 bottles of wine for just $39! Learn more at winc.mivh.net/Ryyn3v

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
