J.Crew Majesty Peacoat :: Bedknobs & Baubles

Remember those warm days a few weeks ago where I could get away with spring outfits like this and this? I wish that were still the case! Back in June when I booked our Hamilton tickets, I thought that March would mean we could wear spring jackets during our weekend in Chicago. Nope. Instead, I was back in winter wear bemoaning the fact that icy weather seems to last entirely too long in the Midwest! Either way, it was a fun weekend escape to the Windy City. The main event, of course, was finally seeing Hamilton and it’s worth all of the hype. Honestly, I can’t even begin to describe just how incredible it was and if you have the chance to go, definitely do so. Other than that, we ate, drank, and shopped our way through the city. I snagged this dress at Zara, which isn’t the most flattering, but the ruffled bodice was just too fun to pass up. It’ll be coming with me to New Orleans at the end of the week!

Grey Day

DKNY-Cape-1

I know I shouldn’t complain about the weather here in Wisconsin after the East Coast was pummeled with snow over the weekend, but I’m tired of subzero temperatures and overcast days. To combat my dismal mood, I’ve been daydreaming about our April trip and  — of course — what I’ll pack. It looks like Copenhagen’s average April temperature is 43 degrees, which is basically the start of summer to a Wisconsinite. A new dress or two that I can wear a couple of times on the trip are in order. This tunic dress looks like a comfortable option for exploring the city paired with loafers (love these in silver). If money wasn’t an object, I’d definitely bring along this DVF dress. I’ve had it on my wish list for a couple of months now, desperately waiting for it go on major sale.

Through the Fog

Ben-Amun-Necklace-1

To say it’s been unseasonably warm in southern Wisconsin would be a bit of an understatement. It feels like spring with 60-degree temperatures, almost-constant rain, and foggy evenings. I know I’ll regret wishing for snow the moment flakes start to fall, but I really want a white Christmas this year … just a half inch that melts on Dec. 26. On the bright side, it has given me the chance to bring lightweight jackets out for another spin and wear shoes without worrying about snow and salt damage!

This grey wool shift has been a perennial favorite ever since I purchased it back in 2009 or 2010. I can’t think of another piece in my closet that has had such longevity. It’s a classic shape, has pretty brass buttons on the back, a flirty little ruffled hem, and makes for the perfect backdrop to new jewelry, like these gorgeous pieces from Ben-Amun. They’re from designer Isaac Manevitz’s “Roman Coin” collection. The collection is marked by pewter coins set in brass, reminiscent of treasured archaeological finds. You’ll learn more about the designer in this week’s “Behind the Baubles.”

Mini Moments: November 2015

Mini Moments: November 2015

I can’t believe there are only 28 days left of the year! It seems like only yesterday that I penning my 2015 New Year’s resolutions (only to cast them aside shortly after), but I’m thrilled that it’s finally the holiday season. We went to Chicago last month for the opening weekend of the Christkindlmarket, which is becoming one of our favorite annual traditions. It was the perfect way to spend time together before the whirlwind of family and travel consume every weekend of December. Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from November:

  • Picked up a pair of furry ear muffs at Uniqlo. They’re ridiculously large, but they are warm. For $13, they were obviously coming home with me.
  • Stopped at a local antique mall and admired the tinsel trees filled with vintage ornaments.
  • Begged Bacon to move away from my photoshoot location for this post.
  • Kicked off the week with coffee and Julie Vos jewels. I’ve been wearing this necklace and ring on repeat. (Find the book here. The “darling” tray is sold out, but I’m also in love with this one.)
  • Stood 1,353 feet above Chicago at the Willis Tower. (Find my beloved loafers on sale here. They’re still full price here, but in more sizes.)
  • Enjoyed cocktails at Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago. I loved the tiki glasses so much that I had to buy the set to bring home with us. (Now, about that bar cart…)
  • Wore fabulous Miu Miu sunglasses. I borrowed them from Ditto, a subscription service to borrow sunglasses. It normally costs $24 per month, but you can sign up for one month free with code BEDKNOBS. Read more about Ditto’s Endless Eyewear.
  • Spent a fair amount of money on Christmas decorations and ornaments at the Christkindlmarket in Chicago.
  • Geared up for an incredible collaboration with Ben-Amun. Isn’t this Roman coin pendant amazing?

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.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
