Saturdays At Shop This: All The Kings Horses

This is quite the Saturday! Will you watch the two major events ~ The Coronation of King Charles and The Kentucky Derby? I am always game for historical events, so I will be watching both. In between the festivities, here are a few royal and equestrian chic links.

Charming, Approachable, and a Great Dancer: From Naomi Campbell to Joan Collins, Friends of Vogue on the Real King Charles III. It's a great read on Vogue.

We will be seeing plenty of tiaras tomorrow at the coronation. They all will be worth a king's ransom. This Etsy Shop has beautiful tiara's and other hair accessories at affordable prices.

Fortnum & Mason English Essentials Hamper: Londoner's take their picnics seriously. This is a gorgeous gift for picnic lovers and Anglophiles, alike.

So loving this Hold Your Horses Graphic Tee. It's very tongue in cheek, chic.

Like the luxury and pricy townhouses in London's Kensington or Knightsbridge areas, Jo Malone's Townhouse Collection of candles are beyond chic. The ivory containers with the roof-like lids are so lovely, you will use them long after the candle has burnt. Available at Jo Malone or Saks

May all of the King's horses behave today. Wishing you a royal good weekend!

Foodie Friday Fabuloso!

It's Cinco De Mayo, so of course, we must celebrate with a margarita (or two), and some fabulous Mexican recipes. We at Shop This headquarters enjoy cooking Mexican meals any day of the week.  Here's a recipe roundup of fabuloso food. Olé.

Smoking Blackberry Sage Margarita 
Just when you think a margarita is good enough on its' own, enter the smoking type. I have had one without the blackberry. It not only was delicious, but oh so fun, too.

Wicked Spatuala

Lobster Tacos with Green Onion Cilantro Sauce

This recipe is my pick of the round up. I also think that it could be my "last meal" wish. It has a good deal of ingredients, but so worth it!

Heather Christo

Peach Mango Salsa

If you don't make your own salsa, you are missing out on some fabulous freshness. This recipe with the sweetness of the fruit, the zest of the citrus, and spice from the Jalapeno must be a so good.

Pizzazzerie

Strawberry Hibiscus Ginger Margarita

The most important part of any Mexican meal....a really good margarita! This one is a beauty, and quite unique. It's made with hibiscus tea of all things! You can buy dried hibiscus at Amazon

Half Baked Harvest

The Best Guacamole You Ever Had

Well, that's saying a lot, isn't it? But this recipe has a "secret sauce" or ingredient which is Worcestershire sauce! And to add a little crunch, there is bacon. Let's not forget the chopped onions, tomatoes, hot sauce, lime and more. I think this recipe sounds like a winner.

Well Plated

Mexican Street Style Jalapeño Dip

I think that I have mentioned before, I am not a fan of serving dips to a crowd. All of that double dipping! But I would certainly prepare this for my family. It's siad to be smoky, spicy, and very special.

Half Baked Harvest

Baja Fish Tacos

The coating on the fish is said to be the secret to this winning recipe. It stays crispy from the first bite to the last. It looks so fresh, doesn't it?

Spoon Fork Bacon

Cilantro Lime Rice

Isn't this a pleasantly presented dish? It's true, we eat with our eyes, and I am digging in. Why would anyone eat plain white rice again, when you can have this?

Feasting at Home

Pineapple Mezcal Cocktail

I recently watched Mezcal being made on a CNN special. It's fascinating. The process is why it has such a smoky flavor. If you wish to know more about the differences between Mezcal and Tequila, HERE is a good source. You'll find the cocktail recipe at...

The Feed Feed

Taco Salad

This is how I eat tacos. No tortilla unless I am at a Frontera Grill in Chicago where they are warm, homemade, and fabuloso! This recipe doesn't miss a beat.

How Sweet Eats

Dulche de Leche Cheesecake
This recipe creates a creamy cheesecake that is both sweet and salty. The perfect combination for desert in my book. The dulche de luche is sweet like caramel sauce. The longer it cooks, the richer it becomes.

Nourished Endeavors

Low Carb Fish Taco Bowls
It's made with Mahi Mahi but I am sure you could substitute your favorite white flaky fish.

Food Faith & Fitness

Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

My favorite soup! It might be all of the fixings that finds me loving it. This is a relatively easy recipe. Give it a try!

Ambitious Kitchen

Frozen Margarita

This recipe is included because it is not made with a mix. Most frozen margs are. It sure looks delish!

The Cookie Rookie

Chicken & Goat Cheese Enchiladas

Goat cheese adds a sophisticated taste to everything. This dish is really quite simple to make.

Love & Olive Oil

Mexican Chocolate Donuts

What a yummy way to start or end Cinco de Mayo! These sinful treats are a beautiful combination of dark chocolate and spice.
