The Coveted 05.23.17 :: Bedknobs & Baubles

Two fantastic sales started today: the seasonal Net-a-Porter sale and markdowns at Tory Burch. I’m keeping my spending in check (house purchase and all), but if I were to snag one thing, it’d be these Elizabeth and James pom pom earrings. However tempting they may be, my money is going toward home items for the foreseeable future. I actually picked up these glasses with a $50 coupon the brand sent to me for my birthday. (Evidently I spend too much there.) They’re perfect for at-home margarita nights. And I have a collaboration with Minted in the works for new art for our house. I’m debating between the print featured here and this one.

1. Diane von Furstenberg Pleated Voile Mini Dress | 2. Minted “Santa Monica Blues” Print | 3. Madewell Enamel Fringe Earrings | 4. Soludos Platform Gladiator Sandals | 5. Glossier Invisible Shield | 6. Tory Burch Fleming Micro Shoulder Bag | 7. Miguelina Angelique Mini Dress | 8. W&P Design Pineapple Tumbler | 9. Marc Jacobs Ball Chain Earrings

15 Pineapple Pieces for Summer

May 17, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

 orange backdrops

A couple of weeks ago, I joked that the “Weekly Reading” posts always have at least one pineapple item to love. What can I say? I’m kind of obsessed with that perky tropical fruit!* One of my favorite pieces in my collection is this tiny pineapple pendant by Lee Renee that Dave gave me for my birthday two years ago (worn recently here). It’s the perfect pint-sized pineapple for everyday wear. And my penchant for pineapples isn’t waning even though I already have the necklace, the matching ring, and an assortment of vintage brass pineapples around the house! Here are 15 pineapple pieces I love for summer:

  1. J.Crew’s latest collaboration with Ratti has resulted in two fantastic pineapple print fabrics. I could fill this list with items just from that collection, but I’ll refrain and draw your attention to the one I love most: this tie-shoulder dress.
  2. These pineapple shot glasses are just the cutest things. I own a set and use them as decorations.
  3. Bring pineapples the office by way of a shift dress.
  4. An eBay search for “vintage pineapple ice bucket” will yield brass Hollywood Regency style pineapples. Some will need TLC, but it shouldn’t be anything brass polish can’t handle.
  5. If you really love pineapples, consider splurging on this bag. The perforated design is perfectly subtle.
  6. And, if your budget is more modest, here’s a straw clutch that won’t break the bank.
  7. You know I’m a Lele Sadoughi fan girl and her sculptural pineapple earrings don’t disappoint.
  8. I can’t get over this set of brass bookends.
  9. Tassels adorn this scarf, which has a great tonal print. The larger version works as a sarong.
  10. This breezy maxi is perfect for steamy summer days.
  11. Love my necklace featured above, but would prefer a more affordable alternative? Try this.
  12. This pineapple print makes me so happy.
  13. Pineapple-embossed glassware makes cocktail hour both chic and cheeky.
  14. A pair of espadrilles is guaranteed to make you smile when embellished with a pineapple and a palm tree.
  15. Give your bathroom a summery makeover with this shower curtain.

*Never on a pizza, though.

Bauble of the Week

March 22, 2015 by jessica 6 Comments

bw-032215v2

I hated the flavor of pineapples up until a few years ago, but I’ve always loved the way they look. A vintage brass pineapple ice bucket is actually one of my prized possessions*, but  the obsession certainly doesn’t end there. I’d love to own this Tory Burch tunic or even this cute ice cube tray, but this pair of earrings is topping my wish list. I came across Three Jane on Instagram the other day and fell for the bold cocktail-ready earrings by designer Katie Schloss. You’ll learn more about her in next week’s “Behind the Baubles” feature.


*They tend to be expensive on eBay, but there are a couple of affordable ones available right now here and here. Just add a little brass polish and you’re good to go.

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.
