Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

Here we are at the 2nd weekend of August. How is this possible? There are still 45 days left in summer. Let's make it last. I hope you enjoy this weekend wrap up of sales, fashion finds, and articles.

Shades of things to come. Let's begin with one of the prettiest dresses I have ever seen. It's Oscar de la Renta Pre-Spring 2026. If you are curious, tap the photo to see more of this collection.

The goop List: 59 Exceptional Restaurants (Worth Traveling For)

OMG! I am so excited! Just read that The Devil Wears Prada 2 is being released in May 2026. They have been shooting in NYC, and Vogue has all of the fashion looks....so far.

Cheers to these last weeks of August. You'll love the products of Estelle Colored Glass. They have a glass and color for every occassion. They make beautiful gifts! Be sure to shop the Last Chance sale.

Dirty Dozen List: Are you eating the most pesticide-laden produce? Plus a list of the clean 15.

Anthropologie is offering an Extra 40% on sale styles this weekend. A few of my faves are: Maeve's Embroidered Cotton Trench, The Clara Scalloped Wood Wall Mirror, and Mistral's luxe Hand Wash.

New from the shirt gurus at Sold Out NYC : The Sheer Silk Shirt. It features classic tailoring with a bit of sex appeal. Wear it as is, if you dare. I personally would wear a camisole under it. Lovely in the fall under jackets and blazers.

Terrain is offering an extra 40% off all sale items this weekend only. Such fab finds like outdoor furniture, pots, vases, the cutest lamps and more.

My favorite home purchase this year: Green Pan's 6 Quart Slow Cooker. Not only does it look great, but it worked like a dream. And it does so many more things than just slow cook. I made pulled pork for a crowd in it. It's beyond good, and on sale now. Available in 10 colors.

Simon Miller is having a great sale. You can save up to 50% on standout styles. I just love his designs!

Pillowfort: Remember making those? It's a really cute name for a fun edit of kids home things at Target. You'll love the plushies, bedding, furniture, and more. All very affordable.

Speaking of kids....Back to school is top of mind right now. Shop the best of Kids Backpacks at Etsy here. Then take a second look at my post "Kidding Around at Etsy," for inspiration.

I just love a good evening bag. This one is great! The Rue Wristlet, ceated by Cult Gaia in shimmering glass beads and gold trim. Available in 4 colorways.

A shoe sale not to be missed! Shop Stuart Weitzman's Outlet for perfectly polished pairs, all under $150! They make it easy to shop by size.

And here's another fab sale: The Splendid Sample Sale with prices starting at $19. So many cozy pieces. I love their loungewear for hanging at home. On my radar, The Roxie Tie Front Sweater. It was $158. Now $49

Jonathan Adler is having a stylish sale this weekend. Save 30% on furniture, like the above bench. And save 25% on everything else!

Have a Beautiful Weekend!
