Cold Shoulder

June 3, 2015 by jessica 14 Comments

I wasn’t kidding when I said I was wearing this Gerard Yosca pendant nonstop. It has already become my favorite piece to mix and match with my new summer staples, like the chambray dress I picked up at Express. It’s already sold out, which is a bummer because it’s a pretty solid knockoff of the AG Jeans x Alexa Chung “Honey” dress from earlier this season. The only drawback, as you can see, is that it gets awfully wrinkly! It was perfect when we left the house, but looked like this after 15 minutes in the car. Oh well. I’ll just pile on more jewelry next time to distract the eye! Visit Cara’s blog post today to see how she’s wearing a piece from Gerard Yosca’s latest collection in our #WaysToYosca series. As an added bonus, Gerard is offering a 20% discount with code Mesa20!

In other news, I fractured my foot today. My foot fell asleep while I was working on this post. I needed to start getting ready for work and tried to walk on it. I came down the wrong way, heard a terrible popping noise, and collapsed in excruciating pain. The Urgent Care doctor said it’s a fracture at the base of my little toe, but I still need to go to orthopedics for a follow-up appointment. I’m in a plastic boot/cast and can’t put weight on it. It sucks. On the bright side, who’s up for an outfit photo with a cast and crutches?! 😉 Seriously, though, if anyone has tips on using crutches, I’d love to hear them. I opted to sit on a flight of stairs and scoot up rather than use them. It’s going to be a long month.

Mellow Yellow

As I mentioned last week, I’m completely smitten with Gerard Yosca’s latest collection, Mesa. Even though the collection is on trend with its Native American influences and muted southwest color palette, the pieces are remarkably versatile, which is precisely what I look for when I choose a new piece of jewelry to add to my collection. I love conversation pieces that mix seamlessly into my wardrobe and can be worn with multiple outfits. Over the next two weeks, Cara and I will be sharing how we wear our favorite Gerard pieces. See her first look with this gorgeous pendant here. If you also have a piece of jewelry from one of his collections, be sure to tag it #WaysToYosca on Instagram to share how you wear–and love–your Gerard Yosca jewelry!

Florals & Stripes

We’re back from our Memorial Day road trip to Cincinnati! Neither one of us had been to Ohio before, which made the six and a half hour trip to the city a no brainer for the long weekend. We spent most of our time exploring neighborhoods, stopping in boutiques, and trying bars and restaurants. I’ll share a recap of our most notable stops next week. Until then, I wanted to highlight this dress. It was undoubtedly my favorite piece on the trip thanks to its easy silhouette. I came around to the slight high-low hem after realizing that it gave me just the right amount of extra coverage when I sat down! For a peek at the other items I packed, visit Julie Leah’s blog here.

Playing Favorites

When I was getting dressed on Saturday, Dave asked if I really wanted to take outfit photos of this dress, an item I’ve worn on the blog a couple of times before. Yes, I did. As bloggers, we put too much pressure on ourselves to post new items each week. Not only is it an unrealistic–and financially irresponsible–expectation, it’s boring. I’d much rather see how bloggers rework their favorites to keep them in rotation. So, in that spirit, here’s one of my favorite summer dresses. I love the ease of a loose shift dress, especially with layered jewelry to keep things interesting.

The ring and bracelet are borrowed from Rocksbox, a jewelry subscription service that allows you to try out pieces at your leisure. Once you’re finished, you can purchase your favorites at a discounted rate or swap them out for a new set. Each Rocksbox is $19, but you can get your first month free with code bedknobsandbaublesxoxo. It’s a fun way to try new styles and designers without the investment.

Dress: Pim + Larkin (old, love this mod version)
Bag: Tory Burch (it’s on sale!)
Sandals: DV by Dolce Vita
Necklace: c/o Gerard Yosca
Ring: Wanderlust + Co. borrowed from Rocksbox*
Bracelet: Gorjana borrowed from Rocksbox*
Sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana c/o SmartBuyGlasses
Lips: Stila “Fiore”
Nails: Clinique “Hi Sweetie” and Essie “In the Cab-ana”

Pebbles

May 11, 2015 by jessica 13 Comments

Truth be told, I bought this DVF dress July and hadn’t worn it until our trip to Florida last month. I absolutely adore the Lisa Frank-meets-Flintstones print, but it felt a little too bold for Wisconsin. Screw that, though. Now that it has had its maiden voyage, I want to wear it all the time … with one minor alteration. The wrap skirt flutters up at the slightest breeze and I need to have it sewn shut (or at least have my tailor put in a couple of snaps). I actually had to use my tote to avoid any embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions!

On another note, I’m obsessed with this mother of pearl tusk pendant from Rachelle of Pink Sole. It’s one of the most popular pieces in her Etsy shop. Seriously, I have the most talented friends.
