Happy New Year!

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio }

2017 seems like a blur with the events of this last week. My impromptu trip to Florida added a lovely exclamation mark to an already busy week. The year ends with much to celebrate, including the engagement of "Miss Shop This." I am over the moon with happiness for she and her guy. Wedding Wednesdays will have an entire new meaning in 2018! I look forward to shopping and sharing with you all this coming year. Please know that I am so very grateful for your follows, interest, and support. Before we say goodbye to a challenging year, here's a few positive things to share.

Merry Merry!

It's finally here - Christmas weekend. Honestly with "Miss Shop This" in Spain, my fa la la has been a little blah, blah, blah, until this morning. Santa surprised me with a trip to Florida for Christmas! So I happily need to get both my act and my cabana chic together in 24 hours. But not without wishing you the merriest of holidays.  

You'll see a  New Year post or two after Christmas. Until then I do hope that you are surrounded with the love of friends and family this holiday. As you can see below, I am so filled with holiday happiness, I think I'll dance.

Love, Joy, and Thanks For Shopping With Shop This!

HERE: 17 Ways To Celebrate

Fresh Mint White Hot Chocolate
Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? Here ya go. As you can see, it is made with white chocolate, and just couldn't be prettier.
How Sweet Eats

Cinnamon Spiced Dutch Baby With Cranberry Butter
This recipe just has all of the Holiday feels! The picture truly is worth a thousand words, but the author has a tip. "Use high quality flour like my personal favorite, Bob’s Red Mill Organic White Flour. I know it might not seem important, but good flour can make or break a dutch baby!"
Half Baked Harvest 

Absolutely Epic Doughnut Cake
Now this is how I want to start or end Christmas Day! All you need is 3 dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts, a whole lotta whipped cream, and chocolate fudge sauce. This is spectacular and could not be easier!
Broma Bakery

Panettone French Toast
I think that "Mr. Shop This" grew up with this Christmas treat. I have always wanted to purchase the fruit studded bread mostly because of its' packaging. Now that I have found this recipe, this is the year for some Italian indulgence.
Sprinkle Bakes 

Easy One Hour Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls
This would be A Christmas dream come true for "Mr. Shop This!" Even the icing has eggnog in it. 
How Sweet Eats 

Citrus Smoothie Parfait 
A little dose of healthiness never looked so pretty. Just add colorful currants, and homemade orange and cranberry Granola.
Bakers Royale

Cherry Toast With Vanilla Cream
This take on French Toast is holiday heaven!
Gourmet Traveller

Christmas Morning Mimosas
This cocktail is filled with festive sparkle and sugared cranberries. Loving the sprig of rosemary for that special touch. In my view, the cranberry juice is so much better and lighter than orange juice.
Sprinkle Bakes 

Hash Brown Breakfast Quiche
The secret to this make ahead recipe is in the crust. It's actually not crust at all, but instead made with hash browns! It's good hot or cold, so just perfect for making the day before.
The Cooking Jar 

Christmas Pancakes with Candy Cane Chocolate Syrup
Red and White pancakes for the win! Could a recipe be any more fun?

Cover chilled eggnog-flavored custard in flaky pate brisee for an elegant brunch treat. Isn't the presentation lovely?

Glitter Guide

Bourbon Spiked Pear Pull Apart Scone Bread
A fun twist on the classic scone, these promise to be extra moist. It is all topped off with a Maple Syrup Glaze. It doesn't call for it, but I sure would had some more bourbon that glaze!
Broma Bakery

Baked Gingerbread Custard Waffle French Toast
These waffles are everything, think french toast bake, but on another level.  You can prepare it ahead of time and let the dish sit overnight in the fridge. Done!

The Best Books For Gifting & Getting On Time

Gifting a book is a thoughtful gesture. If done right, you have taken the time to select a title that you know the reader will be interested in reading. Take the time to write a message inside the front cover, which makes the book a treasured keepsake. Best yet, this edit features stylish selections from Amazon. If you are an Amazon Prime member, they will all make in time for Christmas. Here's a book for every kind of friend you could possibly have.

HERE: 15 Beautiful Books To Gift

Food In Vogue
The editors of Vogue introduced this new mouthwatering Food Collection. The magazine has come a long way since "Diana Vreeland, who edited Vogue in the 1960s, famously regarded lunch as a peanut butter and marmalade sandwich—and a glass of scotch." Anna Wintour changed all of that by hiring a Harvard-educated lawyer named Jeffrey Steingarten. She made him a food columnist and immediately put him to work. This book is not your average cookbook. But the foodie in your life will "get it." 

The Story Orchestra: The Nutcracker
The classic story of The Nutcracker comes alive for children ages 6 - 9. Not only can the kids follow along the story line, but they can press and play to hear excerpts from the corresponding music, composed by Tchaikovsky. A beautiful keepsake.

The Ivy Now:  The Restaurant and It's Recipes

London's quintessential restaurant, The Ivy, is a must during trips to London. The 100-year-old West End icon for London’s theatergoers and performers, has stories to tell.  This book is a work of indulgent nostalgia. Perfect for the Anglophile on your list.

 Champagne: The Essential Guide to the Wines, Producers and Terroirs of the Iconic Region

This is a welcome, essential guide that succeeds in transporting the readers understanding of Champagne into the 21st century. This stylish set comes complete with the  reproduction of intricate 1940s-era maps of Champagne. A perfect gift for the Bacchus in your life. 

50 Years Of Rolling Stone: 
The Music, Politics, And People That Changed Our Culture
An essential collector's item for any Rolling Stone or rock and roll fan. 

Andy Warhol. Seven Illustrated Books 1952 – 1959
"Andy Warhol’s 1950s hand-drawn books, created during his pre-fame years, are much-coveted jewels in the Pop art master’s crown. This portfolio contains meticulous reprints of all seven books." Perfect for anyone that loves the tongue in cheek (chic) work of Andy Warhol.  

Sneakers by Rodrigo Corral, Alex French, and Howie Kahn

It's been quite the year for the phenomena of sneakers. Who knew that they would become haute couture?  “A beautifully assembled collage of image, experience, and inspiration.”—Vogue For anyone into rubber souls.

Megan Hess Notebooks
From fashion artist and illustrator, Megan Hess, comes her new stationary, book, and diary line. A must for the fashion forward girl. 

Widow Of Wall Street
If you know someone who was one, or any one that was intrigued by the Wolf of Wall Street, they just might love this woman-centric story. This one has my interest, if for no other reason than the dazzling cover.

Vogue Living: Country, City, Coast 

The 400 full-color photos in Vogue Living: Country, City, Coast represent the most spectacular homes and gardens photographed by the fashion magazine in the last decade. From the South Hamptons home of Tory Burch to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s waterfront Canadian cabin, it's a look at how the other half lives.

The Vanity Fair Diaries

Named one of the best books of 2017 by Time, People, Amazon, The Guardian, Paste Magazine, The Economist, & Vogue. I can see why. Here are the inside stories of Vanity Fair scoops and covers that sold millions—the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore, and so much more. What fun!

Bulgari: The Joy of Gems

"Bulgari jewels embody the quintessence of elegant Italian design." The newly released (November 2017) and beautifully bound book is perfect for the jewelry collector in your life 

OBAMA: An Intimate Portrait by 
Pete Souza

For all of us who miss him. A fascinating collection of photos and behind the scene stories, in the both the happy and devastating times. The photos are fabulously fun and so very touching. 

The Half Baked Harvest Cookbook

If you follow Foodie Friday, you know that I am an admirer of the author, Tieghan Gerard, and feature her recipes regularly. Any creative cook will just love her beautiful photography and no fail recipes. 

The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen: 
Nourishing, Big-Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Recovery: Second Edition by Rebecca Katz

I truly believe that the food we eat can heal us or kill us.  "This new and revised edition of the IACP award-winning book brings the healing power of delicious, nutritious foods to those whose hearts and bodies crave a revitalizing meal, through 150 new and updated recipes." A fabulous book for anyone fighting a cancer diagnosis.
