Vintage Earrings | Bedknobs & Baubles

Weekend Reading:

  • We should all be angry about this.
  • I take Amazon Prime for granted and order things like shampoo knowing it’ll save me a trip to Target, and I get irrationally annoyed when the shipment takes longer than the two-day promise. But I’m better off in an urban area than those in rural parts of America. Learn how rural areals throw a wrench into shipping logistics.
  • If a wig is part of your Halloween costume, you have to check out this post for inspiration.
  • Not a fan of traditional fall decor? Try a rainbow-colored pumpkin wreath for your front door!
  • This tiered mini skirt is so pretty!
  • A French brand is turning vintage hotel curtains into chic jackets.
  • I’m disappointed that the series finale of The Mindy Project is fast approaching, but at least Mindy Kaling promises it’ll be “romantic” and “unexpected.”
  • Itching for a decent drink the next time you’re on a plane? This book has the recipes you need to cocktail with the best of them while you’re traveling.
  • We treated ourselves to a turntable this week and purchased this for our first album on vinyl. Record players are adorably pretentious, I know, but I’m looking forward to building our collection and putting a record on while we make weekend brunch.
  • Thirteen thrillers to read this month.
  • This DIY will make you look at vintage tables in a new light.

Five Under $50:

  • A soft-structured tote bag.
  • Lightweight statement earrings.
  • A peacoat for under $40? Sold! I love it in camel, but it also comes in blush, black, and grey.
  • This Jo Malone gift set is perfect for the beauty lover on your holiday shopping list — even if that person is you!
  • Chelsea-style rain boots for soggy fall days.

Notable Sales

  • Bloomingdale’s is offering 25% off almost everything with code FRIENDS.
  • Saks is also having its Friends and Family sale this weekend with 20-25% off. I love these earrings!
  • Take 50% off of everything at Ann Taylor, including sale items. I love the print on this blouse. Plus, I picked up the sandals I love in black to tuck away for next summer.
  • West Elm has 20% off this weekend, along with the others in its family of brands: Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Mark and Graham, and Rejuvenation. We’re considering this media console to replace the ugly side table our TV is currently sitting on. If you’re not in the market for housewares right now, get an early start on your holiday shopping. This pouch is great for the frequent flyer to stash away ear buds and loose cords. A plaid monogram mug is practically begging for a starring role in an Instagram. And this faux fur throw in navy is perfect for the most glamorous person on your shopping list.
  • H&M is having a flash sale with up to 60% off select items. You can’t go wrong with this cute dress.
  • Take 30% off your purchase at J.Crew. I love this tie-sleeve sweater, this swing coat, and this polka dot tulle dress.

Earlier This Week:

  • This coat is my favorite thing about autumn.
  • The best serum for dry, flaky skin.
  • Style steals under $100 and under $50. (That dress!)

Try This For Dry Skin

October 5, 2017 by jessica Leave a Comment

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum

If you suffer from dry flaky skin, you need to add this serum to your beauty arsenal. Once the humidity lessens in the fall and winter, I can’t escape flaky skin no matter how many masks, lotions, and exfoliants I use. This is the only thing that has worked to keep flakiness at bay and keep my complexion smooth.

The marketing spiel: Formulated for all skin types, Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum instantly infuses skin with essential hydration to help plump and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for layering under your favorite AM and PM moisturizers. Hyaluronic acid—a moisture-locking agent—helps hydrate, plump, and nurture. Peptides help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while collagen helps skin appear more plump and replenished with an improved-looking texture. Colloidal oatmeal, along with aloe leaf juice, help calm and soothe irritated skin for an allover healthy-looking and feeling complexion.

My thoughts: I apply one pump of product to my face at night after washing my face whenever my skin looks flaky. The instructions suggest following up with moisturizer once the serum is fully absorbed, but I’ve never done that. The texture of the product doesn’t feel luxurious — and sometimes a little sticky — but after you smooth it on and leave it for 15 minutes or so, it disappears into your skin and feels weightless. In the morning, those little flakes have miraculously disappeared leaving my skin smooth and soft. The price is steep at $36 per ounce, but you really don’t need a lot of product at a time.

Bottom line: It’s definitely worth trying if you also have dry, sensitive skin that’s prone to flakiness.

Weekend Reading

Bell-Sleeve Coat

How is is the last day of September? I feel like a broken record, but this year is just flying by! I can’t say I’m complaining, though, because I’m beyond excited for the upcoming holiday season in our house. First up: Halloween. We picked up a few decorations last weekend at Target, and we’re toying with a few costume ideas to don while we’re handing out candy. If anything, I can throw on the coat from this post and add a witch’s hat!

Weekend Reading:

  • The Shopbop sale was extended through today! Take 20% off orders up to $500 or 25% off orders over that amount with code EOTS17. I bought one thing and I can’t wait to try it on! (I discovered later that it’s a dead ringer for this Kate Spade jacket … and $1,400 cheaper.)
  • When you should and shouldn’t work for free.
  • I’m making this artichoke dip to snack on while we cheer for the Wisconsin Badgers later this morning.
  • Three words: Hot. Pink. Fur.
  • We just scheduled delivery for our bar cabinet for next weekend. I can’t wait for it to arrive! If you love the idea of a bar cabinet, but not the price tag of that West Elm one, this is also a great option.
  • Iconic fashion designers are struggling to connect with Millennials.
  • How fashion illustrator Bil Donovan became the artist-in-residence for Dior.
  • I totally feel this way about baby photos popping up constantly on Facebook.
  • Did you know that Chanel’s iconic little black dress was compared to the Model T car by Vogue?
  • Get in the Halloween spirit with sophisticated and spooky cocktails!

Five Under $50:

  • I love the ruffles on the collar of this sweater.
  • I’m surprised by the negative reviews for this lamp. We purchased two for our bedroom last weekend and love them. The aged brass finish makes them look more expensive, and there’s a nice weight to the pull chain. You might be better off shopping for these in store.
  • Okay, this skirt is $1 over the budget, but look at how cute it is! Wear it to work with slim-fitted sweaters and striped long-sleeve shirts!
  • Zac Posen is my favorite thing about Project Runway. Did you know he has a cookbook? Need.
  • This ruffled dress looks so flattering! Let me know if you’ve tried it!

Earlier This Week:

  • The latest dress I’m obsessed with.
  • Where my money went in September.

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. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
