Saturdays At Shop This

For the first weekend in March we are going full on spring with bright colors. The winter weather was tough in The Hudson Valley, and many places in the country. I can't wait for spring. Enjoy this weekend wrap up of sales, hotel news, and spring inspiration.

Wake up your interiors with a big dose of color from Jonathan Adler. His objects of modern art  always present new possibilities.

Yesterday I discovered Janessa Leone's website. I will be posting her styles soon. But if you are looking for packable hats or any kind of hats, head there today. She carries much more than that, though.

Six fashion editor approved outfit ideas to pack for Spring Break.

Another fashion discovery this week is the brand, Alemais. I am crazy about it. The opening picture of the brightly colored tote and the Iris ruffle gown above are their designs. Certainly not inexpensive but they are unbelievably fun!

I'm a big fan of Four Seasons Hotels. The long shuttered Four Seasons NYC  on 57th Street recently just reopened. The hotel is gorgeous, but the prices aren't for the faint of heart. Town and Country magazine has all of the luxe details.

Two Spring Coats for the price of one! The Barnaby Coat at Shopbop is reversible. It reverses from navy to ivory canvas. Love the topstitching and lines of this style. Goes up to size 18, and is $280

Larroud's colorful Ivy Fringe Flats are so much fun, as is all of their styles. Available in 4 shades.

Jump for this jumpsuit! Banana Republic's Linen Wide Leg Jumpsuit is made for vacations. In three perfect colors. But you'll need a bathroom buddy to get it off. It has the chicest 3 button keyhole closure in back.

With spring quickly approaching, you might want a new doormat. Change things up with these sale styles at Ballard Designs.

Looking through orange colored tables. Lucite or acrylic furniture and decor always catch my eye. How delightful for a sun room or powder room. Currently on sale at Anthropologie

Speaking of Anthropologie ~ this weekend they are taking an extra 50% off most ( not all ) sale styles. The discount will show in your shopping cart. On my radar: Rae of Light x Anthropologie Printed Acrylic Clutch, now only $35. This Daisy Knot Headband for spring is now only $9. And this White Cocktail Shaker is quite chic and now only $20. A great gift!

Mark & Graham just teamed up with the Royal Family's favorite decor brand, Sanderson. The collection is quite British chic! I'll be posting more on it next week.

Have a Fabulous Weekend, My Friends!

Celebrate With Cake: Happy Birthday Leap Year Babies!

{ Via Flour Shop }

 Happy Birthday to all of the Leap Year babies. One of my college roomies, Jana, was a leap year baby. I kid her that she is sooooo much younger than me. Today we celebrate all those born on February 29th, and anyone else who loves cake. 

Ultimate Funfetti Birthday Cake

Anyone will feel like a kid again with sprinkles in and on their cake. What fun. I mean, does anyone really like plain white cake?

Sweet coconut cake is layered with fresh lemon curd. Reminds me of my mom's.

This stunning cake has a fudgy brownie base, three layers of light mousse, a glossy chocolate topping, and a handful of raspberries and chocolate curls. So birthday worthy!

8 Beauty Buys at Shopbop's Beauty Sale

If you have been following along with me, you know how I love a beauty buy. It's so much fun to save on products you already use and love. They also allow you to shop with your Amazon Prime account. Here's my fave products to try.

RMS Beauty

I am new to this  organic clean beauty brand. So far I have tried the Lip Oil, The Blush Powder, The Master Radiance Base, and the Uncover Cream Foundation. Love it all! Give it a try.

Sunscreen By Supergoop

100% Mineral sunscreen. Non toxic and stays on your skin without going into your bloodstream. With spring, summer, and spring break around the corner, it's time to stock up.

Anything Goop
Gwyneth Paltrow has a passion for clean non toxic beauty. And since her she is the face and founder of Goop, I would trust her products. I have only used her bath salts, and loved them, though they were a bit messy.

Trish McEvoy Instant Eye Lift & Eye Base

I have been using these products for years. The Eye Base keeps your eyeshadow on all day without creasing. The Instant Eye Lift is all about the triangle of light you create with it. Kind of pricy so I am happy to save 15%!

I recommend the Self Tan Express Kit for newbies.

Wallpaper: Spring Statement Styles

 Have you heard?  A huge home decor trend for spring is wallpaper, even on the ceilings. How fun is that? No longer is it relegated to small spaces. This season it's time to go bold with color, design, and texture. Here's inspiration.

To get the look of the opening image, I found this wide stripe paper on Amazon, of all places! It's peel and stick, so it can be removed easily, too. Perfect for apartment living. It's just as striking on the walls though. 

Checkerboard Wallpaper

One of Sarah Sherman's dynamic designs that has been hand drawn. Wow! It's modern and classic at the same time.

I remember our first married rental apartment came with gorgeous grasscloth in the foyer, hallway, and living room. It was so fab for this newly married couple. Choose a chic color and make a stylish statement! Can't you imagine this bold blue with white baseboaards and crown molding?

Serena and Lily

Kids Dot Wallpaper
It's removable and sweet as can be.

Livette's Wallpaper

Italian Silk Wallpaper
I recall a magazine layout of Giorgio Armani's NYC apartment. It was gorgeous, as you can imagine. The walls especially caught my eye. Every room was done in Italian Silk. It's a tight weave with a terrific texture and slight glow. Fabulous! 

Serena and Lily

Abstract Water Marble Wallpaper

Though they (Vogue, Elle Decor} say that accent walls are not a thing this Spring, this is an accent nook. I say go for it. But the pattern is so soothing, I can imagine it on a ceiling or four walls, too.

Dreamy and so unexpected. This application adds drama to a white room.
