Madewell silk button-back dress in star scatter

Don’t you just love when you find an item that’s a little unexpected and yet so perfectly you? That’s how I feel about this dress. I’m crazy about the slight swing shape that skims over curves without  looking oversized; and I love the sleeves, the line of buttons down the back, and the charming star print. The fact that it’s an easy-to-wear silk is just icing on the cake. I’ve already worn it four times since it arrived three weeks ago and I have a feeling that the festive starry print will be in heavier rotation now that we’re in the holiday season. The print also comes in a blouse and a skirt, which are both 25% off today!

There are a couple of additional sales I’m shopping today, including J.Crew’s Cyber Monday promotion. They’re offering 40% off your purchase, plus another 10% and free shipping until 12 p.m. EST. The one thing I really wanted is excluded (go figure), but I’m incredibly tempted to order this pink faux fur stole. It’d be darling with my emerald green winter coat. LOFT is another retailer worth browsing today with 50% off everything and free shipping on any order (a rarity with them!). I’d recommend this blouse (worn here last week) and this top. Shopping for your home instead? It’s the last day of CB2’s sale with 15% off and free shipping on orders of $29 or more. (I have and love these candle holders, which would make a great gift!) West Elm is celebrating today with major deals across its family of brands like a mere $100 for this Dutch oven — the black one is so chic!

Buffalo Plaid Coat + Rebecca Minkoff Small Love Crossbody + Hunter Huntress Wellies

If you’ve been following along on Instagram or Snapchat (username: bedknobsbaubles), you’ll know that Dave and I in Chicago for a couple of days and getting in the holiday spirit at the Christkindlmarket. Scouring the market in search of a new Christmas ornament or decoration (or, let’s face it, both) and overindulging in glühwein and German pretzels has made this my favorite annual tradition. We’ve gone to the market three years out of the five we’ve been together and I don’t see it ending any time soon! This year, we’re adding in a couple of new holiday adventures: glogg at Simon’s Tavern and the ZooLights at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Let me know if there’s anything I should add to our itinerary!

P.S. You can enter to win the pearl earrings I’m wearing in this post right over here.

garnet-hill-belted-faux-fur-collar-coat-2-of-2

When you live in an area that experiences true winter weather, I don’t think it’s terribly overindulgent to own a wardrobe of coats to beat the frigid temperatures. After all, you’ll be reaching for one just about every day from November through March! Wearing the same coat day in and day out would become boring awfully fast!

In additon to a goes-with-everything black peacoat (which I recently purchased in mint, too), a brightly colored cocoon coat, a practical and flattering parka (that I’m still on the hunt for), my ideal coat collection includes a sophisticated day-to-night number like this gorgeous coat from Garnet Hill. The belted, wrap shape is effortlessly elegant while the faux fur collar makes for an eye-catching statement that’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s versatile, too. It elevates a pair of jeans, looks great with work garments, and complements cocktail dresses.

Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve. They’re practically begging to be used as built-in displays for ceramics! 

(I removed the phone jack, pulled the wires back through the hole, and patched it up, so it’s no longer functional for a landline. I assume a future owner won’t miss it either!)

I’ve taken a version of this photo each Christmas to serve as a timeline of the small changes over the years. One thing never changes, though: I think our Christmas tree is the prettiest. 😊 I hope you have a wonderful holiday in however you’re able to celebrate this year. 2020 has been difficult, but we’re in the home stretch now! Sending lots of love your way!

As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite famil As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite family cookie recipe now on the blog! (Find it via the link-in-profile or search for "sugar cookie.”) It never feels like Christmas until I’ve had my mom’s sugar cookies. In a typical year (or even an atypical one like 2020!), I’ll spend a couple of days working on these — baking them the first and decorating them the second — and it immediately puts me in the holiday spirit. Not only are these nostalgic for me as she’s been making them my entire life (there’s even a photo of me, no older than 2 years old, sitting at the kitchen table “helping” with them), they’re hands-down the best sugar cookies I have ever had. And plenty of people agree with not-so-subtle hints to make them each year.

It never really feels like the holiday season unti It never really feels like the holiday season until I’ve made sugar cookies with my mom’s decades old recipe — and until I’ve risked a food-borne illness by snacking on raw dough. I shirked the holiday tradition last year after having been too busy with holiday travel (ten days in Belgium and a long weekend in Chicago left me too busy with other holiday to-dos), but there’s zero excuse to put off baking this year. #AlwaysHome #QuarantineForever
Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... the Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... these are a few of my favorite things. 🎶 (I don't think Julie Andrews would mind tweaking the lyrics a little bit, right? 😉)

Pro tip: Instead of looking at the gift-wrap section for things to decorate your presents, hit up your local craft store. I bought a package of 75 jingle bells, a dozen mini bottlebrush trees, and twine in seasonal colors for just a couple of dollars each. (The wrapping paper is from Target.)
