Rara Avis by Iris Apfel

I always feel lucky when I accidentally stumble upon Iris showing her designs. What a hoot she still is! Get her jewelry looks and a few fashion pieces

 all in one place.

Marla Wynne

If you like big and chunky or even minimalist fashion jewelry, click on over to Marla's collection. It's so fun, and each piece makes a statement. The stimulated Pearl Hammered Squared Ring is cocktail chic!  And her Black Open Link and Metal Station 79" Necklace is really good looking. Perfect for a black turtleneck or sweater dress.

Judith Ripka

A few years back, Judith had a store in my building  in Chicago. What fabulous finds! She now brings her flair for design to HSN and makes it much more affordable for all. 

~ Electronic Devices ~

Tablets

Purchasing a tablet or any kind of computer,  from HSN makes sense. With three or more payments and zero interest, it is the way to go for some bigger priced items.

Beauty, Skincare, and Bath & Body

This is a large category, and where I usually end up on HSN. Again, making payments allows you to get what you need now, and take 2 - 6 months to pay for it.

Haircare

HSN has you covered when it comes to hair and styling. You will find products from Living Proof, Drybar, Fekkai and more.

Beekman 1802

They create beautiful non toxic products for your face, body, and your home. You have heard me praise them many times. I use their facial wipes, bar soaps, body cream, and  hand and body liquid soap daily. The main luxurious ingredient is goats milk!

iT Cosmetics

Clinically proven and results driven, this beauty brand has a cult following. I have not tried it, but have friends that swear by it, especially the Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer.

Other Beauty Brands

There are so many brands that you already love like Lancome, Clinique, MAC Cosmetics, Deborah Lippmann Nail Care and more. Best yet, products often go on sale, and HSN offers special bundles that you can't get anywhere else.

~ Kitchen ~

Kitchen 

This is a big category on HSN.  The flex pays really come in handy on high end brands like Nespresso.  You will find every color under the sun of KitchenAid Stand Mixers, with a few exclusive to the network. There is a big collection of Cuisinart products, too,  like cookware and food processors. Click through to find just what your kitchen needs.

~ Dogs ~

Dogs

You will find basic beds, Sherpa beds, to travel beds, canine couture like the cute sweater above, non toxic dog shampoo and more. Everything a pampered pet would ever want.

Saturdays At Shop This: Sweet Things

Well, we made it through another Covid19 week. Much like the others, it was filled with images of violence, despair, inequality, and Mother Nature's wrath. I was so happy to see this sweet photo (above)  on my Instagram feed today. It's Katy Perry's baby announcement. Her first child, Daisy Dove, entered the world this week, and Katy had the sweetest manicure.  Today's post is meant to replace all of the negative images in your own mind with sweet things. Enjoy!

 
Introducing a New Baby to the Family Dynamic: Besides Katy, I know two new moms, Kate and Allie, that have given birth in the last 3 weeks. This subject is important. Share these great tips with someone in your life that may need it.

Sweet Treat: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Make them chocolate covered, and life becomes a little sweeter. Mrs. Prindable's now has a Pumpkin Spice variety. A lovely gift to send across the miles. It's also a perfect teacher gift.

Miranda Kerr on Her Debut Furnishings Collection: The model turned entrepreneur states about her furnishings: "I strive to create and design products with positive intention that can hopefully uplift and inspire.” I found her furnishings positively delightful. And the pretty pops of pink were sweet and stylish.

and more.

Sweet Feet:  I'd like to be walking into the weekend in these booties. They are the perfect shoe/boot for transitioning into Fall. Though not inexpensive, they certainly are fabulous.

Sweet Sentiments Beaded Bracelet: These sweet bracelets give hope to young ladies with words like "all good," "courage," and more. A great little off to school gift at Anthropologie.

And speaking of off to school, the new MaisonMe collection at Maisonette is truly the sweetest. With over fifty mix and matchable options, these styles will put your child at the head of the class.

Sweet Tooth: Sugar is the ultimate sweetness, and I must admit I love it. I do know that sugar does not like me. I found this article interesting and helpful: Overcoming Sugar Addiction & How To Fix It

So sweet: the children's masks at Hanna Andersson. They mix and match with the clothing. Think trucks, dinos, stars, stripes and more. 
They make very cute gifts.

Foodie Friday: Cooking With Red Wine

It's #NationalRedWineDay, and we are celebrating with 14 boozy recipes.  If you are like me, you take any opportunity to cook or bake with alcohol. Cooking with wine is the perfect way to bring a subtle flavor and a new level of complexity to any dish. I do it all of the time. In fact, any time a savory recipe calls for water, add wine instead. Today's recipe roundup features, sweet and savory dishes that promise to impress your guests and tantalize your tastebuds. 

So pop a cork and get cooking!

Red Wine Cherry Tomato

Crostini is simply chic. I have noticed that men especially enjoy them. The tomatoes have been roasted with a dash of balsamic for tang, and a good helping of red wine for acidity. The result is some serious flavor.

Wry Toast Eats

Short Rib Meatballs With Red 

Wine Sauce

Just when I thought you couldn't improve upon the classic meatball, this recipe comes into our lives. The ground short ribs add the richness.

Williams Sonoma Taste

Smoked Ancho Chile Salted Steaks With Drunken Burst Cherries + Burrata

Isn't this an interesting combination? The wine comes in with the drunken cherries. The best news, this recipe works with any cut of steak.

Half Baked Harvest

Red Wine Chocolate Snack Cake

I looked at quite a few red wine cake recipes for this post. This one stood out to me. It had me at the word "snack." Sometimes you just need a bite of chocolate and a sip of wine to get you through the day. The ganache topping with flaky sea salt must be everything!

Food and Wine Magazine

Red Wine–Dijon Vinaigrette

One of the things I love to make is a good vinaigrette. The sky is the limit as to the flavors you can create. The red wine used in this dressing has been reduced on the stove. How interesting!

Turkey Sliders With Red Wine Caramelized Onions & Goat Cheese

I love a good turkey burger. This recipe has all of the extras one could want. The red wine caramelized onions are the big stars here. I can only imagine the depth of flavors!  By the way, this recipe calls for ground turkey breast. 

Looks fab!

Broma Bakery

Sangria Cupcakes

I am not sure if I would take a sip of wine or a bite of the cupcake first. This is a real grown up treat. The cupcakes are made with fruit in the batter and frosted with a red wine buttercream. Imagine licking that bowl!

The First Year Blog

Read Wine Steak Marinade

I recently marinated a grass fed strip steak. It was my first time, and it won't be my last. Fabulous! My marinade had no recipe but it did have red wine in it.

 Try it!

Eat Well 101

 Ratatouille Tart

A good way to use up all of the Summer produce. This beautiful tart would make for a lovely lunch!

Strawberry Red Wine Sorbet

Isn't this the most luscious looking sorbet? I make ice cream weekly, but have never made sorbet. This recipe looks like it would be worth the effort.

Havoc In The Kitchen

Red Wine + Goat Cheese Risotto with Caramelized Mushrooms

This is one of my very favorites of this recipe roundup. Maybe it is because I love every element of this dish. Making risotto is good for the soul, and a test of your patience, for sure. 

How Sweet Eats

Red Wine Portobello Burger With "Mozzarella" {Vegan}

Picture proof that you don't need meat to make a hearty burger. This recipe is said to be slightly smoky and just a

 little bit spicy. 

Veganosity

Red Wine Ice Cream Float

Crazy easy to make, and an elegant ending to a beautiful meal. Only three ingredients needed for this unique cocktail/dessert.

Likes N Trends

Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings

My record of never having had wings is still intact. However, even I have to admit that these look good. They are said to be sweet, savory, and boozy! Now that's a tasty trio.

Workout Wednesday

Many of us, when WFH ( working from home, ) wear some form of activewear. I happen to live in my "Yummie" Jodi Yoga pants while writing each post. They are both shapewear and activewear.

Oh my! I just love this set. It's somewhere between funk and functionality! Pieces sold separately.

Now why wear a plain white tee shirt, when you can wear this. The word "lifestyle" is key here, because it's also good for wearing outside of the gym. It's super soft, made in a supima soft-modal jersey blend.
