Saturdays At Shop This

Shhhh! All is quiet for the weekend. I will take some time to create a little holiday magic at home. Enjoy this week's best links for gifting and celebrating.

Black With A Bang! Some of the most fun fashion of the season comes from the house of LA Double J. The Halle Placee Maxi is fab. Find it at Bergdorf Goodman.

Hair Secrets From A Beauty Editor: I had no idea that a fuzz fighting towel is one of the secrets! Here is a good one.

Selecting a candle without experiencing the scent in person, is not easy. At this time of year, I always lean to The Thymes Frasier Fir Candle in the gold tin. It is powder room perfect, and only $12. If you like the scent of a live Christmas Tree, you will love it. I promise.

Cheers To The Weekend & the gorgous glassware of Estelle Color Glass. It's fabulous and comes in the chicest shades. Perfect for this time of year. It's expensive, and probably worth it. But if you are working with a smaller budget, these glasses are festive and fun. Only $8 per glass.

Gifting on a budget? These linen and cotton cocktail napkins are delightful with a scalloped trim. Chic colors and only $9.99 for 4! 

This week I did a little personal online shopping with a friend. We got very lucky at Rue La La. I hadn't been there in ages. Wow! The bargains were fabulous. If you are looking for something special, reach out. I would love to help.
