Saturdays At Shop This

Hats off to the weekend. It's going to be another gloomy snowy one in the Hudson Valley. So I thought I'd add a little color to your day.  The fun art print is by Annie Naranian at Chairish. Enjoy these fab finds and stylish sales. 


Pretty in Pink...or red! Here's your Valentine's dinner date dress from Cynthia Rowley. It's called The Dance Dress. Love that!

No one does cozy like Splendid. This weekend their sale is on sale. Get up to 70% off with Code: GOALS

Chairish, my new favorite online shop is having a pop-up "art gallery" at Bergdorf Goodman. If you can't get to NYC, you can shop the online collection. So some unique finds, both vintage and new! 


Play the cards you are dealt! The chicest playing cards ever are from Dear Annabelle! Makes an impressive hostess gift.

Date Night Idea: Treat your date to a night out with a Sur La Table Cooking Class. I hear they are great fun. You get to eat, too! If you don't live near a Sur La Table Store, they also offer online classes.



A chic catchall: These pretty porcelain trays are the perfect hostess or girlfriend gift. And they can be monogrammed for free.  Click the photo or link to stock your gift closet.

Resolved to eat healthier this year? I loved this informative article on Goop. It all sounds so good. The Best Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free Cooking Swaps for Butter, Cream, Eggs, and Flour 

Here's a fabulous jacket on sale at AllSaints for 50% off. It's super good. Ms. Shop This owns it.  The denim is the blackest of black with stylish studs.




I heart this little stoneware platter with a single red heart. It's darling and only $20.

Scent Stories: Do you change your fragrance with the seasons? Credo Beauty suggests that we might want to switch things up for Winter. These nine scents are more than just perfumes, they are scent experiences.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart: Romantic Gifts


Oh Valentine's Day! It can be a hard day for some, For those that have a sweetheart, or at least someone they care for, it is a good idea to make it special. A little thoughtfulness can go a long way. Forgetting the day, is never a good idea! Your gift doesn't have to be grand, as long as the thought behind it is. Here's some gifting inspiration, and a great source for the best cards. Come on, let's celebrate love!

NORDSTROM - Shop gifts in time for Valentine's Day

HERE: 10 Ways To Say I Love You

Preserved Rose Gift Box
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose until it dies. That's always so sad.  Avoid fading roses and give a gift that will last five years. I think it is ever so more special than a dozen generic roses from FTD. Pick your color and let love bloom!

NYC Valentine's Dessert Tour
Oh just be sweet...to each other. take a Sugartooth Tour that benefits the Edible Schoolyard Project. You'll stroll through quaint Chelsea hand in hand with cookies from Chelsea Market, down The High Line, into The Meat Packing District, winding up in the West Village. You'll warm up with hot cocoa, and leave with a sugar high after taste testing donuts, cupcakes and more.  You''ll visit off the beaten path shops and bakeries that even the locals will be surprised to learn of. 

Indulgence Kit
Sometimes the best gift is a little special "me time" just for her. Thoughtfulness is always a great prelude to romance. She will love the luxurious silk pajamas to stay cozy all day (and night). The Oui/Non silk sleep mask will let her intentions be known. A little self care goes a long way with the addition of some pampering beauty products like a massage candle and perhaps some Calm soaking salts. All found at 

Heart Cubes
Your place or mine? In romance, it's all about the details...big and small. Why not chill their drink while you warm their heart with a romantic cocktail? They will melt with delight.

Love Coupon Book
Here's is DIY idea that you actually print yourself. 12 cute coupons that bring laughter to the romance. Darling messages that you pick and check the boxes like Dancing on the table, a chance to win an argument, picking the movie and more. Fun that makes a big statement for a small price to pay.

Major Scale Musical Wine Glasses
Make beautiful music together! The two of you can perform a sweet symphony on the tabletop. These will add romance to a romantic dinner, or a million laughs to a dinner party.

Faux Mink Throw
These are beautiful. I know first hand, owning the dark brown faux mink lined in velvet. Very luxurious! Present your special someone this cozy throw along with a note that says "Let's Stay In."

Date Night Cooking Classes
Have you heard about the couple that cooks together? This is a very fun date night activity that takes place at your nearest Sur La Table store. Experience an evening of good taste together, then take your skills home at get cook'n in your own kitchen.

Valentine's For The Real World
February 14th may be a Hallmark Holiday, but Emily McDowell says it better. Sometimes irreverent, cheeky and ever so clever. These cards says it like it really is!
Emily McDowell Studio at Etsy

Spoonk Acupressure Mats
Give the gift that keeps on giving.....a better night's sleep, less back pain, better digestion, and more. This prickly present, like love, is a mix of pleasure and a tiny bit of pain, but only until your body gets use to it. It even made the "O" list a few years ago. I am so intrigued. Buy two of them, and you both can experience the pleasure principal of acupressure together. See a video here and then get them on sale at
