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.

I’m enjoying a lazy Sunday seeking inspiration in a coffee table book, admiring my new sunglasses (yesterday’s T.J. Maxx find for $30), and applying a bright, red-orange lacquer. What are you up to?

Instant Replay: March 2013

Treated myself to a bouquet of tulips (my favorite flower). Indulged in the prettiest Lilly Pulitzer dress (seen here). Rediscovered an old JewelMint necklace. Spent a sick day curled up with Bacon. Welcomed this Wendy Mink necklace into my wardrobe (c/o). Tried a new brewery town. Sipped a refreshing cocktail on St. Patrick’s Day instead of drinking green beer. Couldn’t believe my luck when I found a coveted coat on eBay (seen here). Wore just a hint of mint.   

Visited friends in the Twin Cities and stopped by the Fulton Brewing Company. Splurged on a Lulu Frost necklace. Tried a recipe that makes just two chocolate chip cookies. Wore a chipper nautical scarf from Lilac Bijoux (c/o). Played dress up in that Lilly Pulitzer dress before taking it to the tailor. Layered delicate bracelets with a masculine watch. Went overboard with my favorite lip color (Revlon Lip Butter in “Sweet Tart”). Spent a snowy day admiring jewelry from Julie Vos (c/o). Ate a lot of Easter candy.

 I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram @bedknobsandbaubles.

Finding this coat on eBay inspired me to dig out my Banana Republic clutch from the same season. Together, they’re the perfect canvas for spring’s delicate gems.

It’s hard to get back into the swing of things after a weekend of little indulgences: dining out, at-home manicures, and a sweet lemon-scented candle.

Valentine’s Day is a fun excuse to go over the top with loving gestures, eat as many mini cupcakes as possible, and wear red shoes. Dave surprised me with a Swarovski trinket box. It’s such a glamorous way to store delicate jewelry. I gave him this cordovan money clip wallet (without the logo) that’s handmade in Milwaukee and lobster-print boxers to match my pajama pants. Matching pjs is definitely a sign of true love.

I’m okay with being a Kate Spade fan girl, but last week may have been a little over the top. I scored an autographed copy of Things We Love, found cocktail plates at TJ Maxx for $27*, and wore these lovely earrings. 

*Here’s a set on eBay for $46.50.

I painted my nails last night, but I can’t wait to use the new Estee Lauder polish I picked up a few hours ago. It’s the most lovely shade of robin’s egg blue. Have a wonderful weekend!

I’m just as enamored with Aubin & Wills’ dapper fox as I am with the mittens I purchased late last year.

Freezing temperatures won’t stop me from wearing spring accessories. I’ve missed this little insect pin from last year’s Tony Duquette for Coach collection.

May I suggest starting your week with an ultra bright lip color? I’m reaching for this Paul & Joe lipstick (c/o Apothica).
