a supplement to Bedknobs & Baubles for wallet-friendly finds, closet-worthy trends and product reviews
This week, I've shunned black in favor of bright colors and quirky patterns - and today's "Friday Finds" reflect this sartorial optimism. Really, how fun is this palm tree scarf?!
Giveaway Reminders:
What's that? You'd like another giveaway? Ask and ye shall receive. Shabby Apple (www.shabbyapple.com), an online boutique of women's dresses, is giving away their Lighthouse dress to a Style Obsession reader.
A pair of penny loafers is a classic item worth, well, saving your pennies for. Dave's choice this week is an indulgent, made-to-order pair from Rancourt & Co. for $260. I prefer my classics mixed with a bit of whimsy, especially in the form of this light blue pair from Tod's for $335. Yes, both are expensive, but the cost per wear should be manageable.
Springtime Saturdays mean one thing: the start of the farmers' market. Bring home your goodies in one of these produce-inspired totes. Try the citrus print bag ($55) from Aldo for an affordable option. If you're ready to splurge, the fruit and veggie tote ($295) from Anya Hindmarch is an equally cute option.
Cinch your spring frock with one of these ultra-girly bow belts from ASOS. (The lavender one is my favorite!)Reminder: Enter to win earrings from Wendy Mink Jewelry valued at $123!
I'm so excited about today's giveaway. Wendy Mink Jewelry was my very first blog sponsor, so it seems only fitting that my first giveaway on Bedknobs & Baubles is also from the jeweler.

This afternoon, we head to Chicago in anticipation of tomorrow’s flight to Fort Lauderdale. I’m looking forward to oceanside mornings and afternoons exploring … and absolutely no computer. Although, I’m sure I’ll be on Instagram. See you next week!

As far as I'm concerned, March 1st is the beginning of spring - and that means it's time to don a new spring accessory: sunglasses. Opt for a pair of Ray-Bans with quirky, statement-making arms and leave the classic Wayfarers to him (and borrow them occasionally).
