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.

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg (old; other patterns in the same style and I love this one)
Bag: Tory Burch (it’s on sale!)
Sandals: Sam Edelman
Necklace: c/o Pink Sole’s Etsy shop
Ring: Lulu Frost
Sunglasses: Prada
Lips: Stila “Fiore”
Nails: Clinique “Hi Sweetie” and Essie “In the Cab-ana”

Cocktail calories add up. Here’s a skinny version of a classic favorite.

SHOP
Need a summer dress for an upcoming event? I have no doubt you’ll find one here. There are over 2,000 options under $150 to choose from. My favorites include a gingham fit-and-flare style (although I’d have it hemmed above my knees), a bright shift with a swingy back (just $64!), and an embroidered tunic dress.

LEARN
1991 marked the beginning of pop music’s turn to rap and hip-hop.

MEET
Anna Jarvis is the woman credited with establishing Mother’s Day, but it wasn’t easy.

ANTICIPATE
Even though The Mindy Project was axed by Fox, there’s a good chance it will have a second life on Hulu. While that’s still up in the air, rest assured that we’ll have at least one more offering from Mindy this year: a new book to be published in September.

IN OTHER NEWS
We’re heading to Indianapolis for Memorial Day weekend. Indy has never been on my must-see list, but we’re driving down to pick up bottles of Upland Brewing Company’s sour release. Is there anything we should add to our itinerary?

S.W.A.K.

I wore this Erin Fetherston kiss-print dress to Dave’s sister’s wedding a few weeks ago. I actually bought it for another wedding back in Oct. 2013 and it’s still one of my favorite pieces. A quirky print, floaty chiffon, and a strapless silhouette? What’s not to love? (Honestly, Erin Fetherston has pulled through whenever I’ve needed a special occasion dress and there are usually great deals on Amazon.)

On another note, May officially kicks off my birthday month! Even though I’m broke after last month’s spending spree, I’d love to treat myself to the blouse I featured in yesterday’s post. Boho chic isn’t exactly my style, but I adore it.

Dress: ERIN Erin Fetherston (old, but you can still rent it; another version)

Tropical Prints

I wish I could say it’s good to be back home, but it’s really not as lovely as our vacation in Florida! We had such a relaxing week taking day trips to nearby cities, lounging oceanside, and dining (and drinking) at various restaurants. Despite getting back Saturday evening sun-kissed and sleepy, I set an alarm for 1 a.m. to await the debut of the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection. Did anyone else stay up for it? I know many ladies had problems accessing the site (including Kristin Davis) and I was extremely lucky to find my must-have items. I was only able to add items to my cart if I clicked the quick shopping link on the mobile search page, instead of the product page. I managed to purchase the pineapple serving bowl (it was the one item I would have thrown elbows for in-store 😉 ), two of the giraffe-print pillows for our bed (lucky Dave), a cosmetic case, a pair of pom pom shorts, and this top. Honestly, I felt ridiculous making these purchases in the middle of the night, but everything was sold out when I stopped by Target around 8:15 a.m.

Top: Milly x Banana Republic (old, also love this tank)
Shorts: J.Crew
Bag: Tory Burch
Necklace: c/o Helen Ficalora*
Ring: Lulu Frost
Sunglasses: Prada
Sandals: Sam Edelman (I wear these on repeat all summer.)
Lips: Stila “Fiore”
Nails: Clinique “Hi Sweetie” and Essie “In the Cab-ana”

Bon Voyage

And we’re off! Dave and I are headed to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a week of beachside lounging. We also have plans to visit Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea, and Hollywood. (Phew!) If you have any recommendations, please share them on Instagram or Twitter! (Seriously, any hidden gems for vintage or thrift shopping in Palm Beach would be a dream!) I’m planning to steer clear of the blog while we’re away, but you can always see what we’re up to on Instagram or Snapchat (find me at bedknobsbaubles).
