Moody Floral

October 24, 2016 by jessica 9 Comments

Between the Old Navy dress I wore here, the Joie dress I recently purchased, and this budget-friendly number, I can’t stop adding dark floral dresses to my fall wardrobe. It’s just so darn easy to throw one on with a pair of ballet flats and feel pulled together. And, if we’re being honest, it’s that kind of simplicity I’m aching for right now. After a heavy workload over the last couple of months, I’m finally able to put the stress behind me and really enjoy carefree autumn days starting with this week’s road trip. We’re heading to Louisville on Thursday for a couple of nights and then continuing to Nashville on Saturday. Judging by the forecast, it looks like the Joie dress is going to be the perfect thing for Tennessee’s summer-like temperatures!

Alright, the week I’ve been prepping for is finally here! All of the late nights at work and stress-induced insomnia that you my have witnessed on Snapchat (username: bedknobsbaubles) lead up to my annual business-to-business expo. As much as I love event planning, this one is always more stress than I anticipate each year — and more work than I can accomplish in a normal 40-hour week, thus the radio silence here on the blog. Let’s just say that I’m excited to pop open a can of Sophia after the expo wraps up on Wednesday! We’ll be celebrating at the end of next week with a road trip to Louisville for a beer festival, followed by three nights in Nashville. I’ve never been to Music City before, but I’m ready to embrace whisky-filled honky tonk nights! Let me know if you have any recommendations!

Falling for Stripes

October 10, 2016 by jessica 6 Comments

Well, it’s officially sweater weather. (Although today is expected to reach 72 degrees, which is all the excuse I need to break out my favorite summer dress one last time before packing it away for the year.) I typically hate the change in seasons and the hint of frost in the air, but this turtleneck is easing some of the post-summer blues. It’s a cozy, non-itchy wool blend that’s perfect for crisp fall days. (Seriously, how cute would it be for autumnal photo opps? Think apple picking, enjoying the fall color, getting lost in corn mazes, etc. It’s why I’m going to wear it pretty much constantly this season.) It’s available today for 30% off with free shipping. Go with your regular size for the intended relaxed fit. I’m also a huge fan of how it looks with a navy a-line mini skirt and the block-heel pumps in this Instagram.

Introducing The Fifth Watches

October 6, 2016 by jessica 5 Comments

There are few accessories that that are elegant enough to withstand the test of time: diamond stud earrings, signet rings, and sleek timepieces. No matter how great an Apple Watch may seem, donning a classic watch is breathes effortless sophistication. It’s why I’m absolutely smitten with the brand The 5TH, a watch company that releases its collection for just five days on the fifth of each month.

There are only three watch designs by The 5TH, but each comes in a variety of metal finishes and band colors. Each has a sleek, minimal design with a shallow face that hugs closely to your wrist eliminating bulk. Better yet, they come in at an affordable price point ranging from $95 to $150. I selected the New York Classic style in the SoHo colorway when The 5TH approached me with the opportunity to try one of their watches. The New York Classic styles comes with two leather watch bands that are easily interchangeable. In fact, as you’ll see below, you don’t even need a tool to swap the straps. You’ll just need to push down on the pin holding it in place.

This month’s batch of luxury timepieces so was released yesterday and many of the styles sell out fast. If you need more time to mull over your purchase, sign up for The 5TH’s list to be granted access to the pre-sale the morning of the fifth before access is open to the public next month.

Plus, you can save 10% with code BEDKNOBS!

Thank you to The 5TH for sponsoring this post!
