BEDKNOBS & BAUBLES

Outfitted

I bought this dress from J.Crew years ago and it has since become a frock I reach for repeatedly each fall. It’s a simple, a-line shift, but the ruffles on the bottom keep it from looking too mundane. It’s also the perfect canvas for this Ann Taylor jacket.

Few things are more fun than coming home to a package full of beauty supplies c/o Apothica. I’m particularly fond of the Tocca candle in “Stella,” a sweet blood orange fragrance.

The Essie polish in “Cascade Cool” is a fairly close substitute for Revlon’s “Pink Lingerie.” Since I use Revlon’s quick-drying formula so often, it doesn’t take long for the polish to become thick and unusable.

Color Crush: Oxblood

This color has gotten a bad rap for unappealing names like burgundy and (shudder) maroon. But it’s time to shake the stigma and embrace oxblood, a richly saturated hue that’s flattering on most complexions. If the color feels too serious for you, pair it with an unexpected jolt of hot pink.
