Saturdays At Shop This

Here we are at the last Saturday in September. How is this possible? I am still in recovery mode, but the sun is out in the Hudson Valley. Know that I am thinking about all of you in the South who are suffering from the hurricane. Enjoy these shopping links and the weekend wrap up.

Warm hearts and hearths. It's time to warm up these autumn evenings. How fabulous is this outdoor fireplace? Find it at Terrain

10 Tips For Increasing Flexibility and Mobility: Whether you just want to be able to touch your toes, or need back and neck pain relief (me), these tips will help with more effective stretching.

It's sweater weather! Save 20% on select cashmere sweaters, socks, wraps and more for both men and women at J.Crew

Need a new bag for fall? They don't come any more chic than the styles of Demellier London. The attention to detail, lovely leather, and that hardware is really impressive for the money. They aren't inexpensive, but they also aren't $1,000 {far from it} like most designer bags are either.

It's Friends & Family Time at Banana Republic. Save 40% on full priced styles.

Crop Chic: Have you noticed all of the cropped styles this season? Everything is shorter. If the top, jacket, or sweater hits you mid-tummy, it can be quite flattering. I adore this Cropped Double Faced Cape at Cos!

Do you wear a hat in the fall? I actually never wear one, but I thought that this Bucket Hat by San Diego Hat Co. is super cute. The star details are fun. Under $40.

Lip Service: My new obsession is Dior's Lip Glow Oil. On our recent road trip I experienced dry peeling lips. Never happened to me before. But I couldn't wear lipstick. I felt naked. So I ran into the Dior counter and asked to try this product. It worked! It's created with cherry oil and is so moisturizing and super shiny. I bought Rosewood, which was perfect. Read all about it at Nordstrom.

And talking about cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics is offering 30% off most items. One of my fave products of theirs is the Studio Fix Conceal and Correct Palette.

Beauty Sleep from The Laundress. I could not be happier. The Laundress has reinvented and brought back their Fabric Sprays. Oh, my friends, this product is so good at refreshing your linens and even the air. So worth the $19. Click on over to read about the fresh scents, including Beauty Sleep!

Have a Happy Weekend!

Back To Baking - Sweet Edition

The first week of autumn has been dreary and a touch cooler here in the Hudson Valley. We have even slept with the windows open! All of that puts me in the mood to bake. How about you? This recipe roundup features fall flavors with seasonal scents. I have added some baking tools, because my kitchen could use some.

Baked Maple Bacon Donuts

I could not think of a better way to start the day! Actually, I could eat one at any time of the day.

What To Wear To A Fall Wedding

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

I've been missing in action because I attended a wonderful wedding in Wisconsin.  If you can believe, I also missed another fabulous fall wedding the same day. Certainly sad about that. The guests dressed to the nines at this black tie optional event. I loved the fashion show down the aisle. Here's inspiration for all of your own autumn affairs and dress codes.

~ Black Tie Optional ~

This is your cue to dress up! If your guy is wearing a tux, sequins and beaded gowns are all allowed and encouraged.

The Phaedra Gown
This gown is all about the color and the sparkle! Don't be afraid to shine.

Sachin & Babi  and Veri Shop

Daniela Silk Dress

This dress comes in five colors, but this pattern feels like fall. It is modern with a youthful spirit.

Reformation

Marcella New York Valeria Dress

A budget look at under $180. I think it looks so much more expensive. It's made from a ponte kni, which is less likely to wrinkle.

 Nordstrom

LaDouble J Magnifico Dress

And magnificent it is. Anything from this Italian brand is always eye catching. Made from silk twill, it's just stunning. Love the use of color on the hemline and back neckline.

Shopbop

Open Back Dress With Flared Skirt

Here's another budget buy at $120. Add sparkling earrings and a pair of heels, and you are party perfect.

H & M

~ Cocktail Attire ~

By all means, dress up. Honor the married couple by looking good. Suits or sportscoats and ties for men. Midi's, mini's, suits, and pants suits  for the women. In other words, look put together.

Callope Dress and Coat

There's nothing quite like a chic cocktail set. In this case the pieces are sold separately. The coat would be so wearable worn over a LBD.

Sachin & Babi

Simkhai Leather Topped Maxi

Leather weather. One of my favorites. It's faux leather but who will really know, and who cares? This dress has the cool factor from head to toe.

Moda Operandi

Sequin Roxy Dress
Your LBD with sparkles on it.

Tuckernuck

Acler Hatchford Dress
Oh yes, pleats please! A beautiful sunflower shade with a super dressy look.

Anthropologie

Halston Geo Painted Velvet Gown

I just love everything about this gorgeous gown. It's a perfect fall look. Great even without any bling.

Nordstrom

The Buckle Up Silk Organza Dress
Sensational in burgundy silk organza. Other colors available.

 Cynthia Rowley

~ A Fall Outdoor Wedding ~

An outdoor wedding is likely to be more casual. So think being fall fashion forward but not glitzy.

Liza Dress
With a bold print and fabulous fringe, Liza will take you many places. Perfect for an outdoor autumn affair. The flats are cute with the dress and practical, too.

Cara Cara New York

Tulle Top & Skirt

With a feminine appeal, this look is delightful for evening or daytime special occasions. The tulle is terrific.

Me & Em

Significan Other Demi Column Gown
A midi made for weddings and any event where you want to look dressed up. The color is so fall. If it is a cool day, just add a wonderful wrap.

Anthropologie

Silvia Tcherassi Ananya Dress

With fabulous details, this dress looks like fall. Love the long sleeves and draped skirt.  So good for an afternoon outdoor wedding.
