Jorts!

July 18, 2016 by jessica 14 Comments

Miu Miu Sunglasses, Banana Republic Bucket Bag, Gap 1969 Best Girlfriend Denim Shorts

I would never have guessed I’d own a pair of jorts. I’m not a fan of denim, nor do I have an affinity for shorts, so combining the two has always been unappealing for my own wardrobe. But when I stopped by Gap a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help but to try on a pair. (Mostly because I thought they’d be cute with the H&M off-the-shoulder blouse I purchased that day and have since returned.) These are the brand’s 1969 best girlfriend fit shorts, which have a slightly flared leg opening — a major plus for ladies with larger thighs who have spent too many summers wrestling with shorts that cut into their flesh when they sit down. (You know what I’m talking about.)

In other news, we had an active weekend with a bike ride, a long walk around downtown Madison to play Pokémon Go and try craft cocktails at a new restaurant, another long walk around the Arboretum, and Dave’s family reunion. Our biggest accomplishment was cleaning and organizing our garage. We had boxes down there since I moved in five years ago, along with piles of Dave’s things that have been untouched for just as long. We made it through three-quarters of the garage and donated seven large bags of items, mostly clothing. If there’s one thing that persuades you to stop shopping for awhile, it’s getting rid of that amount of stuff!

P.S. There’s still time to enter to win a piece of engraved gemstone jewelry from LovePendants!

A Wisconsin New Year

December 28, 2015 by jessica 23 Comments

NYE-1

I can’t believe 2016 is just a few days away! The dawn of a new year means an onslaught of resolutions and one last chance to dress up before the winter doldrums set in. I’m linking up with five other ladies today to share what we’re planning to wear on Dec. 31 or, in my case, what we would wear if we we were going out!

You know how much I love short swing dresses and flats, so it’s no surprise that I’d stick with my favorites for a night out with just a few favorite accessories: a quirky bag, statement earrings, and a cuff. However, I wish I had donned a major necklace. The neckline seems too bare for the year’s most glamorous night. (If only this was in my budget…) When the big night rolls around, though, this dress will remain snug in my closet. We’re visiting my parents in Northern Wisconsin over the weekend where I feel overdressed in anything more than jeans and a sweater! (You can expect some pretty great Snapchats of the glory of this bizarre Northwoods bar if you follow me at bedknobsbaubles.)

Try Ditto’s Endless Eyewear For Free

MiuMiuSunglasses

With the advent of the holiday season, many of us — myself included — are strapped for cash. Going on a strict sartorial diet isn’t fun at the most joyful time of the year, however, which is why I’m fond of DITTO’s Endless Eyewear subscription service. For $24 a month, you can swap out your sunnies as often as you’d like with free shipping each way. It’s a great way to try out designer sunglasses that you may curious about, like Karen Walker’s signature shades, this bejeweled Miu Miu pair I’ve been borrowing (and could never afford), or a beautiful bordeaux pair for holiday shoots in the snow.

HOW IT WORKS

After you sign up, pick out your favorite pair and the DITTO team will let you know if they’re ready to ship. In some cases, popular styles maybe temporarily unavailable and DITTO will notify you when they’re back in stock. You’ll receive your sunglasses in a few days. Wear them as often as you’d like before swapping them for another pair. Simply pick out the next pair online and ship the old pair back within five days of receiving the new style. All sunglasses are sterilized and arrive in like-new condition. If you fall in love with your pair and can’t bear to part with them, you can opt to purchase them at a 15% discount off the retail price.

RECEIVE A FREE MONTH

You can try your first month free with code BEDKNOBS. I’m normally on the fence about subscription boxes (we all know how I felt about Try the World), but I think this one is worth trying out for at least the first month. (You can always cancel if you don’t think the service is for you.) Wearing a new pair of sunglasses for a couple of weeks will give you a better idea of whether or not they’re a good investment for you. It’s also just a fun way to freshen up your holiday outfit photos!

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.

• 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.
