BEDKNOBS & BAUBLES

Instant Replay: October 2012

by

Indulged in a magenta bag. Dressed up as a sleepy Holly Golightly. Layered on baubles. Found a brilliant pea coat at Ann Taylor LOFT. Sipped an afternoon beer. Cheered for the Badgers. Baked Halloween cupcakes. Looked forward to Christmas with a new ornament. Adored bouquets from Dave.

Sampled an array of pumpkin microbrews. Lingered over lunch. Added vintage gems to my collection. Admired fall color. Enjoyed fall’s simple pleasures. Relished wearing pink. Relied on the classics. Tucked lipstick into a foxy bag. Donned a new ring courtesy of Gorjana.

Color Crush: Oxblood

by

This color has gotten a bad rap for unappealing names like burgundy and (shudder) maroon. But it’s time to shake the stigma and embrace oxblood, a richly saturated hue that’s flattering on most complexions. If the color feels too serious for you, pair it with an unexpected jolt of hot pink.

Top 10: Animal Sweaters

by

The key to making autumn’s herd of animal sweaters from looking too cutesy lies in sophisticated separates. Wear these sweaters with a refined pencil skirt or this gorgeous faux leather skirt from Target. If you’re tempted to wear it with jeans, cuff the hem and don a pair of stellar heels.
