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.

Double Decker Pecan Cheesecake Pie
Creamy, sweet, and nutty. What a terrific trio of textures and flavors!


All American Deep Dish Cinnamon Apple Pie
Nothing is more disappointing than a skinny apple pie without cinnamon! Deep dish pizzas and pies are my jam. This recipe states that it is even better the next day, so plan ahead.

Kaloh Lidded Mixing Bowl Set
Designed by Aaron Probyn. It's a chic and colorful set of five bowls.

Pumpkin Scones With Maple Glaze
Vegan & Gluten Free
These are a Starbucks copycat. I have not had the real thing, but these scones look and sound delish!

French Tart Baking Kit
A great gift for the baker or francophile. Ships for free from.....

Richard Sax's Chocolate Cloud Cake
Oh my! Fluffly and sweet meringue is folded into the rest of the ingredients to make this decadent cloud like cake.

KitchenAid® Design Series Evergreen
 Stand Mixer
Oh how beautiful! Brand new style for 2024-25. And if the price is not in the budget. QVC has some Stand Mixers on sale,

Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake
This looks like a fall must make!   It's a combination of a soft cinnamon spice cake with  a buttery caramized apples. The juices seep down into the cake making it super moist and flavorful. 

Personalized Chef Ornament
A fab find for the baker in your life. Now on sale for under $20.


Apple Cider Layer Cake With Spiced  Salted Caramel Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Just give me a spoon for that frosting! A showstopping cake that says fall all over it. Inside you will find thick layers of chocolate and vanilla buttercream.


Salted Caramel Pie
I have not heard of this kind of pie, but it sure sounds fab! If you can believe it is the salt that makes it sweeter.


Marble & Wood Rotating Cake Plate
How beautiful! The rotating marble stand makes it a terrific tool for frosting a cake. Cake Cloche sold separately. 
 
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Cupcakes 
What's better than an old fashioned cupcake? One that is stuffed with frosting and a little bourbon! Top it all off with a thick coating of Butter Pecan icing, and you have a real fall treat. 

Maple -Bourbon Banana Pudding Cake
It's not much to look at, but the flavor profile sounds so delicious.

What To Wear To A Fall Wedding


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.


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

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.

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.

~ 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.

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.


Sequin Roxy Dress
Your LBD with sparkles on it.

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

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

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

~ 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.

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

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.

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.

Cinq a Sept Ranier Pant & Jacket
Party perfect and ready  to shine in satin with gold buttons. One could also wear this to anything with a cocktail dress code. 25% off with Code: 1FF25
Cinq a Sept
