Five Under $55

This clutch is one of my favorite budget finds in a very long time. The bamboo bag is a reproduction of a classic Japanese picnic basket. It comes in two sizes: small for $35 and large for $45. There’s also free shipping.

I’m also surprised to see this ink-print dress make it to the sale section with most sizes still available. Midi dresses are terribly unflattering on me, but I wouldn’t mind the cost of having it hemmed since the dress is only $49.50.

I’m so happy that it’s finally the weekend! Dave and I are hitting the road bright and early this morning for a weekend in Louisville. We’re stopping in Indianapolis on the way down to pick up bottles of Upland Brewing Co.’s sour release and then, well, the weekend is our oyster. I’m anticipating a relaxing happy hour at Garage Bar, a Saturday morning coffee run to Please & Thank You, and stocking up of bourbon balls from Schimpff’s Confectionery. Follow along on Snapchat! You’ll find me @bedknobsbaubles.

Designer Dupe: Chloe Drew Bag

July 22, 2015 by jessica 13 Comments

Designer-Dupe-Chloe-Drew-Bag
So, who wants the look of the Chloé Drew satchel for $1,685 less than the retail value of the designer it bag?

*Raises Hand*

I came across the designer dupe online this morning and, while I’m normally not a proponent of a knockoff, I’m a huge fan of this bag, especially because it’s made of leather. Sure, there have been other Chloé lookalikes for even less, but I just can’t get on board with another faux leather bag. I never wear them. This, I’d wear.

UPDATE: I did purchase the bag. Here’s a link to the review!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially open to the public! In yesterday’s post, I shared my favorite not-so-budget-friendly pieces, but there is one item under $55 that I’m smitten with: this striped sweater dress. It looks like such a cozy piece for a transatlantic flight or a weekend road trip. Pair it with comfortable sneakers and a tote that doubles as an overnight bag.

Happy Friday, ladies! This is the first weekend I can go without crutches and I couldn’t be more excited to move around a bit easier. I even went in the pool yesterday! I purchased the cover-up in today’s post (you can see it in yesterday’s Instagram). It’s a steal at $18 when you take 60% off the sale price. It’s final sale, so keep that in mind when ordering. As with many of J.Crew’s cover-ups, I found this one ran large. (It was originally available in a XXS as well, which is usually a red flag to order a size down.) I went with a size small. It’s a little snug in the bust if I keep it buttoned up, but otherwise a great fit.

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.
