I sped through all five episodes of the new show The Bold Type this week and am LOVING it. It is really feeding into my childhood fantasy of working in a fashion magazine. That closet full of free shoes and clothes? Swoon.

Since I’ll be traveling a bit in the fall it is a great excuse to pick up some new gear. This week I’ve been deep into researching some cute new sneakers to wear. What do you guys think of the pink/nude sneaker trend? Can I even pull these off?

Next up is finding a cute leather backpack. Any suggestions of favorite backpacks?

Vacation Reading List

I’m heading out on family vacation and my main activity every year is reading as many books as possible. Here’s what I’ve got loaded onto my Kindle for the next week:

It’s definitely a good mix. Some I’ve read before, some I haven’t. Some beach reads, some thrillers, some memoirs. I won’t make it through them all, but it’s good to have options!

This has been another week of And Then We Tried Obsessions, where we share whatever we’re obsessed with each week. Let us know what you’re obsessed with this week in the comments and if you see anything in the wild that you think we’d be obsessed with, be sure to tag us @andthenwetried or use #ATWTobsessions

Attaching a wood fence to a chainlink fence

As I mentioned in my last fence/gate update post, I helped Erika attach a wood fence to the chainlink fence in her backyard. The process was similar to when I converted a chainlink fence to a wood fence, except in this case, we left the chainlink fence intact. This method is a good option if you want to add a little more privacy to your yard or camouflage a chainlink fence while you wait to save up for a completely new fence.

Struggling to find gift ideas for your favorite people? We’ve got you covered with our And Then We Tried gift guide! First up: your friends and family who are decidedly indoorsy.

Obsessions: 10.19.18

You wanna know what we have been decidedly NOT obsessed with in the past month? The blog. Womp womp. We’re hopping back in this week, but we’ll be posting a bit more sporadically for a while. Here’s hoping you all loved getting caught up on Michelle’s driveway gate plans yesterday. See what else we’ve been obsessed with in this week’s And Then We Tried Obsessions.

Fence Updates and Two-Panel Wood Driveway Gate Plans

Hellooooo, I’m thinking about fences again! You all had the pleasure of following along as I moved and rebuilt the fence in my backyard and then converted a chainlink fence into a wood fence along my driveway, and now it’s finally time to build that driveway gate. Of course, I can’t just build a driveway gate and leave it at that, I’ve also decided to cap the entire fence to cover up the dogear pickets and give everything a cleaner and more finished look. HOORAY!
