This week’s home tour is SUCH a stunner. It’s the house of Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam, which is a brand new construct cabin in British Columbia on a lake…so the dream. The staircase and hearth are unreal, and each room is so thoughtfully designed.

From Emily: Two tremendous reasonably priced coverups and a FANTASTIC summer time strappy maxi costume. In the course of the annual (and all the time a bit *oof)) 2026 swimsuit assessment I found Cupshe, which appears to specialise in fits which might be good for curves (i.e., tummy flattening and help for boobs). The fits that I purchased match so effectively, particularly those the place you’ll be able to choose the cup measurement. They reached for a social partnership, and I attempted on extra of their resort put on, which isn’t one thing I sometimes have a very good stock of, and I actually, actually preferred three of the items a lot. The black and cream maxi costume was so drapey and flattering, for being so reasonably priced. It has pockets, even! I wore my “muffins” right here, however you probably have a smaller chest, you actually wouldn’t must put on a bra (otherwise you simply put on it over your swimsuit). I don’t love strappy clothes on me, however this one had the straps hitting in a very flattering space.
Cowl-Up | Swimsuit | Hat (related) | Sneakers
This flowy coverup is superior as a result of it’s a sample, nevertheless it’s not too loud and in a impartial colour, I don’t really feel like I’m drawing an excessive amount of consideration to myself (says the woman who likes a vibrant purple swimsuit). With the black halter swimsuit beneath, it felt like a very easy poolside outfit to put on that had the proper quantity of cover-up.

This white button-up cover-up is tremendous drapey and completely sized. It provides room within the arms and armpits and doesn’t hug anyplace, however is in some way nonetheless flattering and falls effectively (and it is available in different colours, if you’re like me and white simply means it’s about to be orange with my spray tan on it). Anyway, I used to be tremendous impressed with how cute these have been for the associated fee.
From Arlyn: I’m probably not one for seasonal ornament, aside from Christmas and the occasional fall porch-scape, however I unintentionally landed on the “Americana Edit” web page of H&M Residence and truthfully, and surprisingly, I form of love ALL OF IT! The little sardine plates and matching tablecloth are treasured, the purple bistro silverware is one of the best worth I’ve seen for a set like this, and don’t even get me began on these wildly cute placemats with distinctive pocket detailing for flatware. So good, all of it, and makes me itch for summer time apart from all the warmth and humidity, and mosquitoes.
From Mallory: You know the way fancy clothes are so costly, after which loads of occasions you actually solely find yourself sporting them as soon as?? I’m on the age the place there are weddings taking place like each month, and I knew there needed to be a greater approach to discover cool marriage ceremony visitor clothes that received’t break the financial institution. I had 3 weddings within the final month alone (considered one of which was a vacation spot marriage ceremony in Puerto Rico), and I used to be STRUGGLING on what to put on – till my sister informed me about Trend Go. Principally, it’s a clothes rental firm like Lease the Runway or Nuuly, and I had heard of it earlier than, however she swore that they’ve some actually nice marriage ceremony visitor costume choices, and she or he was not flawed!! My sister makes use of these rental corporations month-to-month as a result of she works in a company workplace, and discovering stuff to put on could be troublesome, however since I make money working from home, I’ve by no means thought the clothes rental factor was for me. Effectively, this was one of the best use case ever!! Their intro provide is $75 per thirty days, and also you get 5 objects plus an adjunct, and you’ll swap out objects twice in a single month. So I went to a marriage in the beginning of Might and ordered this costume with this purse, after which the subsequent week I went to Puerto Rico and swapped it for this costume with this purse. I used to be additionally capable of snag this Farm Rio costume for the rehearsal dinner, together with this cover-up, this costume for strolling round city, and extra. That final costume I did find yourself buying as a result of I liked it a lot (you do find yourself getting a reduction if you buy it too, which is nice). In addition they provide you with a bag with the printed return label on it, so returns are tremendous simple, after which the brand new orders are usually at your door in like 2 days. I’ll in all probability put a pause on the membership after this month, however you probably have a visit developing or a particular occasion the place you need some recent outfits with out the worth tag, I couldn’t suggest this sufficient!
From Caitlin: Blissful begin of summer time! I’ve been celebrating Delaware’s latest 90-degree heatwave by busting out my favourite leather-based sandals. I purchased them final 12 months, and whereas the lower did take a minute to regulate to – it simply feels completely different out of your commonplace flip flop! – they’re my go-to shoe for…all the pieces. (Like, significantly, all the pieces. I stacked a 15′ UHaul, drove mentioned UHaul, after which unloaded the aforementioned UHaul whereas sporting THESE SANDALS. Not even closed-toe sneakers! They’re that snug, now that they’ve molded to my ft.) I really like the sudden form and that they’re constructed solely from pure supplies. They aren’t on sale this weekend, however they’re already a deal at $75. Extremely suggest for those who’re trying to replace your sandal choice!
From Marlee: I’ve been sporting these sneakers actually on daily basis, and I’m not stopping anytime quickly… they’re tremendous snug and simple to put on with any outfit. With out fail, each time I put on them, anyone feedback on how cute they’re – they’re praise magnets!! The colorway I’ve is full worth, however there’s another cute colours which might be 35% off this weekend:)
From Gretchen: I do know I’ve shared this genius product earlier than, however I want to present it one other shout-out. This behind-the-sofa desk from IKEA will endlessly be a favourite of mine. I’ve 4 of those models–three sit behind my couch and one I take advantage of as a facet desk, connecting with the opposite three to kind an L form. These tables are simply SO reasonably priced, have held up tremendous effectively, are designed to look and work effectively pushed up towards one another, and when wrapped behind a settee, give off that 70s dialog pit vibe I simply crave. To not point out, they supply ample storage and desk prime area. However just lately I spotted simply how a lot I worth their versatility. I had a pal over, and we merely NEEDED to binge a present with our dinner, however had no place to set our meal in entrance of us (I ditched my espresso desk for extra ground area). So I grabbed two of those tables from behind my couch and plopped them in entrance of us. They labored completely! Now I can add “TV tray” to their listing of use-cases.
From Jess: This track, Boy in Purple by Isaiah Rashad and SZA, has been on repeat for at the least every week. His complete album is unbelievable, however this one has me hooked!
