Weekly Rounds Vo. 10

wandeleur | @jessicazimlich

Friyay! The highlight of my week was enjoying a leisurely lunch with my step mom yesterday. After I got home later that afternoon, I thought about the last time we did something alone like that and the last thing I can recall was the time she took me to get makeup for the first time ever. We headed straight for the Elizabeth Arden beauty counter at the department store and I left armed and ready to “become a woman” – or so I thought. Now, that’s not to say that we haven’t done plenty together between my middle school years and now, but this was the first time in a long time that it was just her and I, and it’s definitely something I’d like to make a habit of.

  • Katelyn launched her shop, Woodbury Lane, this week and you know what they say, the secret to success is support. She’s boldly following her dreams and that is definitely something I can get behind! My personal favorites from her shop include this criss cross ring, a clever greeting card and this flirty, floral top.
  • Word on the street says we could potentially get nine inches of snow this weekend. NINE INCHES. Aren’t we supposed to be springing forward or something? I’m wondering if I wear this springy blush blazer it will trick the weather into thinking it’s actually spring and there’s really no need for that snow after all (it’s late and I’m delusional, give me a break).
  • My sweet friend Katie is celebrating Twin Stripe’s third birthday with a giveaway and let’s be honest here, who doesn’t love giveaways?!
  • Have you heard of The Tiny Canal Cottage? I discovered Whitney Leigh Morris on Instagram a few weeks ago and it’s safe to say I’m obsessed with her humble abode. The entire #tinyhousemovement is fascinating to me.
  • If you’re going to be snowed in this weekend, there’s no better time to dive head first into Wandeleur. The site was created by two brunette babes, Blair and Emily, as a lifestyle resource for those who aspire + inspire. This power smoothie recipe is inspiring me to get back to the basics as far as my meals go and it certainly doesn’t hurt that I just picked up a jumbo bag of flax seed. Also, Emily has the cutest baby bump I ever did see, don’t you think?!
  • J. Crew is offering up an extra 40% OFF final sale items with code: SWEETSALE. You know how I feel about stripes….
  • Aileen’s bedroom came together effortlessly – she gives the renter in me hope!
  • Catch up on what went down around these parts with the Go Blog Social Workshop recap, results of the reader survey, a special announcement and a giveaway.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND?! IS IT STILL SNOWING WHEREVER YOU ARE?

      Thank goodness it hasn’t snowed as much as they thought it was going to! We will see how much more falls from the sky tomorrow. Thank ya – I really like hearing what people had to say and I’ve got some work to do with that camera of mine 😉

  5. I especially love Aileen’s bedroom makeover. We have been on the lookout for some gold bedroom sconces! Hopefully the weatherman is off this week – stay warm, friend 🙂 Happy Sunday!
