Style Staple: Menswear Watches

Just a few years ago, a menswear watch was one of the most sought-after trends. (I’m looking at you, Michael Kors.) Now, I think it’s safe to say that the oversize design is officially a classic style staple—and an incredibly practical one at that! 

There are plenty of versions made specifically for ladies, but don’t dismiss the men’s options like the Victorinox watches found at Watch Warehouse. Simply swapping or resizing the band gives you even more variety on your search for the perfect menswear-inspired watch. 

1. Michael Kors, $120 // 2. Victorinox, £415 // 3. Movado, $595 // 4. Kate Spade, $169 // 5. Nixon, $200 

This is a PR collaboration, but all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that support Bedknobs & Baubles!

I’d hate to utter the F-word, but fall will be here before we know it. (I even received a September magazine in the mail on Tuesday.) A pair of pretty rain boots is the silver lining on those cool, damp days of autumn. I’m loving the preppy versions at Joules, especially the pair with the mustard-colored bow. 

1. Navy Dog Wellies, $72 // 2. Navy Evedon Wellies, $167 // 3. Black Evedon Wellies, $167 // 4. Navy Spot Wellies, $72 // 5. Navy Pheasant Wellies, $72

Top 5 Silver Shoes

I was skeptical of silver shoes at first. As someone who went to high school in the ’90s, strappy silver sandals were the thing to wear to formal dances and I certainly didn’t want to relive those memories. However, I still purchased a pair of silver flats from Banana Republic on a whim. I never would have guessed they would become my most-loved pair of shoes this summer. With a sleek modern shape, they’re surprisingly versatile and nothing like their formal-wear predecessors  What do you think? The Kate Spade wedges for fall?

1. Kate Spade, $328 // 2. Charlotte Olympia, $525 // 3. J.Crew, $198 // 4. Jeffrey Campbell, $89.95 // 5. J.Crew, $258

Also, did you see that J.Crew has 40% off all final sale plus free shipping? I’m a sucker for free shipping and I’m thisclose to buying a menswear-inspired nightshirt. 

Congrats to Brenna of Bubbly in Brooklyn who won the Astley Clarke giveaway! I have another giveaway in the works. Stay tuned!
