BEDKNOBS & BAUBLES

Lately

My holiday accessorizing is all taken care of, thanks to this glam necklace c/o Gerard Yosca. This mixture of hammered gold domes and rhinestone baguettes and pave remind me of confetti.

I love this set of Victoria’s Secret pajamas so much that I bought them in both grey and black and I would have snagged the pink version if it wasn’t so sheer. The fabric is silky with a bit of stretch, making them ultra comfortable without becoming baggy overnight (my biggest frustration with cotton sets).

I had been awfully stressed prepping for our annual expo and didn’t want to go out on the weekends, so we spent evenings at home trying new beers. I purchased this mermaid bottle opener on last year’s trip to D.C., but there are plenty of versions available on Amazon.

Short Skirt, Long Jacket

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]ry as I might to branch out from my sartorial comfort zone, a short frock is my perennial fallback and this dress has more than earned its keep in my wardrobe. I purchased it over a year ago and have worn it year round, swapping out accessories to keep it seasonally appropriate. This weekend was unseasonably warm, which gave the dress one last bare-legged hurrah before tights make regular appearances in my OOTDs.

Bauble of the Week

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]”H[/dropcap]ey baby, what’s your sign?” Pay homage to your place in the zodiac with Scosha’s “Supernova” collection. The astrological rings and necklaces are created with precious metals and studded with a constellation of pave-set diamonds. Choose a ring for your middle finger and you’ve got yourself a luxe retort for the cheesiest pickup line in history.

Lust List | Tory Burch Minaudiere

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]I[/dropcap]t’s not like I needed anything from the Tory Burch Private Sale, but this metallic lace minaudiere was such a lovely way to treat myself to an event well done. White and gold is one of my favorite color combinations and I love that the lattice design keeps this from being basic. I just placed the order, but I have a feeling it’ll be something I’ll reach for year after year. (Let’s be honest, I’m also pretty excited to finally have a minaudiere with a strap to keep my hands free for cocktails.)

P.S. If you love the quilted Fleming bag as much as I do, the mini version in pink is on sale at Cusp.

Currently Coveting

I’ve ridden a horse exactly one time in my life and I hated every minute of it, but that doesn’t mean I’m not fond of equestrian style so long as it stays in my closet and far, far away from the ranch. I’m kicking myself for not snagging this shirt dress with the recent Friends & Fans promotion.

Not many of us can afford a Marni necklace, but we can all snag the look of the brand’s signature ribbon-tie bauble for much less with this Topshop piece.

And, I’m happy to report that my biggest annual event (a B2B expo and the reason I haven’t been posting often over the last few weeks) went swimmingly yesterday! Months of stress and working weekends paid off and now I’m ready for another vacation. (Isn’t that always the truth?) We’re considering a long weekend in Puerto Rico, which is surprisingly affordable in November.
