Bedknobs & Baubles chronicles the things I love most: style, interior design, travel and, of course, costume jewelry. I often submit to magpie-like tendencies and have the jewelry collection to prove it.
LOFT dress, $47.70
(use code LOVEMOM to take 40% off the original price of $79.50)
This shift dress has a lot going for it: pockets (!), a bias-cut inset that creates flattering lines, and it comes in saturated hues of violet or navy. It’s under $50 with the current promotion, which is a steal for a dress that goes from the workweek to the weekend with ease.

It’s not a secret that I adore Julie Vos’ jewelry. (Actually, “adore” might be too subtle. “Covet,” “obsessed with” and “head-over-heels for” are more accurate.) Julie expertly mixes colored gemstones with classic styles to create pieces that look like precious souvenirs from a faraway marketplace.
Keep in touch with Julie on Twitter and Facebook!

I’ve always been fond of Lemlem’s multiple stripes and color combinations, but $170 is a bit steep for a gauzy scarf. Get the look with this Mango version for a fraction of the price. I also found lovely versions at Gap ($29.95) and Old Navy ($12.94).

Shop It: J.Crew heels // Tory Burch tunic // Zara tunic // Dolce & Gabbana flats

A statement pendant is a key layering piece for summer and I love the colorful rhinestones crowning the top of this one. It’s a steal at just $24 with LOFT’s current 40% off promotion.

Finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be a challenge when something from a large retailer doesn’t seem special enough. I usually plan months ahead and purchase gifts from art fairs and galleries to tuck away for special occasions.
Luckily, the need to stockpile presents is lessened with NOVICA. In association with National Geographic, NOVICA features the work from artisans around the world. The site is expansive, featuring everything from Mexican blown glass to West African jewelry. To make your shopping easier, there’s a curated Mother’s Day section to guide you to the perfect gift for mom.
Here are my favorites:
NOVICA is giving one reader a $40 gift certificate to put toward an artisan pick of your own. To enter, just scour the site and let me know what you’d love to give (or get!). As always, there are bonus entries for your continued support. Good luck!

Zara clutch, $35.90
Contrary to popular advice, I don’t mind investing in a trendy statement piece when it’s something so perfect for my closet that a cheaper alternative just won’t do. My standout was a YSL arty ring long before Yves was dropped from the name. $195 was a lot to pay for a metal and glass cocktail ring (now it’s $290), but it was “the one” and I still wear it regularly. A metallic clutch (or a lucite one, for that matter) is not that type of purchase for me. I’d rather experiment with this budget-friendly Zara version.

Went mod. Admired the first signs of spring. Enjoyed a clear day after weeks of rain. Spent an afternoon at local watering holes. Finally found the perfect pair of pointy black flats. Scooped up a pair of floral shorts. Went to Milwaukee for an overnight getaway. Visited the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Giggled my way through Mindy Kaling’s book. Adored a surprise bouquet of daisies from Dave. Wore this necklace a lot. Pulled out a few springtime accessories.
I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram! You can find me at @bedknobsandbaubles.
