It's a May bank holiday weekend like no other, so while we're staying home and saving lives, we're sharing a weekly dose of Stuff We Love. Today's digest includes a Netflix must-watch, a self-sufficient must-read, and an amazing wedding giveaway for a frontline bride or groom...
A Secret Love
We'll always have a major soft for a later-in-life love story. Over the past few years we've actively tried to include a broader scope of ages in our real weddings, and Advanced Love by Ari Seth Cohen is one of the coolest coffee table books there is. But this new Netflix documentary chronicles a very unique kind of love story spanning 65 years. It's about two ground-breaking female baseball players, who hid their partnership through decades of shame, stigma and persecution. This one was spotted by Karen on the One Fab Day team, and it's going on our must-watch list for the long weekend!

One of our amazing Weddingbook makeup artists, Aoife Callaghan got in touch about a wonderful collaboration she's involved in and we had to share!

Be a Gaff Goddess
While many of us have been putting our time at home to good use, there's only so many times you can Marie Kondo your sock drawer. Why not use this period to really up your skills and learn your way around your fuse board, your appliances, and your tool box! Gaff Goddess by Laura de Barra is a bible of no nonsense SheIY (that's DIY but more chic!), and we love that her style is fun, empowering, easy to follow and never patronising - the book features her beautiful illustrations too. She's long been a must-follow for us on Instagram, but her book is the ultimate guide to feeling in control of your home, whether you own or rent.
