Saturdays At Shop This

Another weekend with not much going on. That's okay with me. But we are getting lots of snow! So happy that I can finally wear my ski outfit (see above).  Kidding, but it's pretty fab, wouldn't you say? As always, I have links to share with you. There's just never enough time during 
the week.

Serve a chic cocktail with these lovely linen napkins. Love the unexpected designs! Find them at Little Design Company

After five years of using the same shampoo, I have found a product that is making a big difference in my hair. It's R+Co . It's been a game changer. I am currently using the Dallas Biotin Thickening Shampoo, and Dallas Biotin Thickening Conditioner.  Currently awaiting the Thickening Spray. I am sure that Biotin is the reason that my hair improving so.  More about Biotin below.

I have mentioned last Spring that during the Covid shutdown, I lost all of my acrylic nails, including my own nails. It was a mess. I have vowed never to use those chemicals again. But my nails have been struggling. Then 3 weeks ago I started taking Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails by Andrew Lessman. Oh my! My hair skin and nails have never looked so good. The supplement includes a generous dose of Biotin. I'll never be without this product.

My favorite sheets are on sale at Macy's! I love everything about them...the high thread count....the weight, the colors (we use Stone Grey), and the deep pockets. Now less than $100 for the four piece set. My holiday house guests commented on how wonderful they were.

It's Free Shipping Weekend at Beekman1802. I can highly recommend all of their products. But my latest discovery is their facial soaps. I have been using their Triple Milk Retinol Bar along with the Triple Milk Charcoal Bar.  since November. Both have made a difference in diminished pores and skin texture. I absolutely love the soft lather the soap produces.

You can build your own gift boxes, send one of their curated boxes, or just pick up a special item or two like Bourbon Marshmallows, Filet Mignon Chipotle Adobe Jerky, or a Gluten Free Snack Box.

Not only are these doughnuts super cute, Tieghan says that they are sooooo good!  Mr. Shop This will want one or a dozen, as they are fried. He can use his new Cuisinart Compact Deep Fryer.  Recipe, of course, is from...

Mini Heart Supreme Pizzas
Aren't these the cutest little pizzas ever? Best yet, you can make them with homemade or store bought dough. Get the kids involved with this tasty treat.

Made with avocados and your choice of raw tuna, salmon or salmon roe. How fun! I would give you my heart if you made these for me.

Sweet Heart Cupcakes

Lounge Lovers: 14 Styles To Live In.

 

Have you noticed that many online clothing stores now have a "loungewear" section?  It's because most of us are spending so much time at home. Why not be comfortable? Don't get me wrong, I do love a good sweat pant, but these lovely loungers are chic alternatives.  This edit of loungewear makes WFH and staying home look stylish and put together.  Time to get comfy. 


Chunky Wool Crop Pant & Pullover
Always cold? Here's your new best friend. It's soft, fluffy, comfy and cozy. Not to mention adorable.  This fabric is antimicrobial. Meaning you can wear it more and wash it less.

Luxe Polo Sweater Dress
Effortlessly cool, and chic in cashmere. I think it is the perfect lived in look. 

The Frankie Shop Rib Knit Lounge Pants & Sweater
Is this not just the best sweater? It can be paired with tailored trousers just as easily as it goes with these unstructured lounge pants. So good!
Moda Operandi


Jumpsuit & Vest
Jonathan Simkhal's Iman Zip Up Jumpsuit and 3.1. Phillip Lim's Puffer Vest join together to be comfy chic indoor or out. The jumpsuit  with a drawstring waistband is is a cashmere cotton blend, so it is sure to be cozy. Click the links above for the individual styles. Or click below to see their lounge edit. 

Zipper Sweatshirt
I happen to own this budget buy ( $69 ).  The fabric is soft, cozy, and substantial. It features a relaxed fit. The zippers really take the style up a notch!

Cozychic Lite Circle Cardi
 Barefoot Dreams creates this very versatile top/sweater/jacket. It's available in 11 colors and made in softest knit. You'll love it.

Evelyn Jumpsuit
This easy, one and done jumpsuit, may just be your new wardrobe hero. It is equally good on our off duty. It's all cotton, and will breathe all day. Love!

Dina 3 Piece Lounge Set
Moderately priced for all three pieces. This set is soft and feminine. The touch of pink lightens the look. Very comfy casual. Best yet it comes in standard, petite, and plus sizes.
Anthropologie


Cheech & Chong Sweater and Pant
So on trend in boucle. But forget the trends and get this for the comfort. What a fun title for the styles.

Organic Pima Cotton Wide Leg Pant
My absolute favorite of the edit! These offer a super flattering high rise waist that promises never to create a muffin top. They are double layered, so nothing to see, and as soft as can be. I think that I need these! Also in black.

Fine Knit Cardigan & Pants
Just what we want for comfort - no zippers, snaps, or buttons. These pieces are a bargain buy. The three pieces combined  are less than $70.

Wren Boiler Jumpsuit
A "case for cool." Get out of bed and jump right in. Pre-order now at...

Tie Dye & Camo
Two very strong trends for loungewear right now. Admittingly, I am not a fan of either trend, but this look spoke to me. The desert sage color is good! And the tie dye is rather airbrushed. It's fresh in a clean Spring-like way. All pieces sold separately at
