Saturdays At Shop This

 

I am excited for the Oscars. This personal shopper always has an eye out for styles, trends, and the best dressed. Let's face it, we all have some clothing and accessories that are just begging to go out. It's been a while. Even if you are like me, and beyond wearing a stiletto heel, we can still fancy it up a bit. This link up features all things that will elevate your day to day.

Sachi & Babi is always a good source for dressed up style. I adore the Valentina Blouse now on sale. It would dress up a simple pair of black pants. The Portia polka dot dress could take you out to dinner quite nicely. And if you can tuck in a shirt, the Whitney Pants are fab!

Dazzleshadow: MAC Cosmetics powder shadow is so pretty. I have "she sparkles" and like to put just a touch of it either in the center of my eyelid or at the inner corners. Save 20% sitewide with Free Shipping. Code: SURPRISE20

 I really enjoy the beauty looks at the Oscars. Recently on Facebook, there was a "thing" going around about women not wearing makeup the last year. That would be impossible for me. At the minimum you need some tinted moisturizer and a little concealer. I can recommend Trish McEvoy's Instant Eye Lift. It's more of a brightener than a cover up. And my favorite tinted moisturizer is Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. I wear natural, 

which is a pure beige. 

A little sparkle at your neck and ears always draws attention, and brightens your face. I received Lisa Mason's Diamonique sterling silver earrings for my birthday. They were on my wish list. I love them! The sparkle is real, the diamonds are not. In fact, they don't look like stones at all. Just silver sparkle.

This Dotti Lace Panel Blouse by Reiss is crazy good. It sure would elevate a pair of jeans or white pants.

I caused a viral sensation on Facebook yesterday when I posted Lulu Dharma's Woven Weekender Bag. The post was in honor of Earth Day. It's vegan leather, and on sale. I own a tote of hers and it looks very Bottega-like. I purchased the burgundy, though it was a toss up. This bag will elevate any road trip or plane ride. I am taking mine to NYC!

Speaking of NYC, there's really only one store that I need to visit, Bergdorf Goodman. And the department that I love the most is Linda's at Bergdorf. A few of my fave finds are: Jonathan Simkhai's Oversize Broderie Anglaise Top (Wow) Gianvito Rossi's Mesh Net Low-Top Sneakers (But OMG they are pricy.) And Jason Wu's Leather Culottes are beyond! Can't wait.

Prosecco On The Patio: You might remember the Mario Luca Guisti Acrylic champagne flutes in the Mother's Day edit. I think they deserve another look. Why not feel fancy outdoors? I adore them. They make a great gift.

Revenge Glamour: Town and Country is taking cues from Princess Diana, Alexis Carrington, and Selma Blair to master our dazzling post-Covid wardrobes. Love it!

Spread a little sparkle wherever you go this weekend!

#TuesdayShoesday: Fall Boots For Every Budget

{ Via: Fendi }

As Summer comes to an end, I try to savor every day. I also swear that I won't bring you Fall Fashion and Accessories until Labor Day. Once again, I caved. To tell you the truth, I am excited for Fall and all of the chic clothing and weather that goes with it. So today, we begin from the ground up. For many of us, switching from our sandals to a boot or bootie, is our first move of the season. So let's get moving!

Wedding Wednesday: What To Wear To A Spring Soiree

{ Via: Megan Hess }

Have you ever been to a wedding and looked around to see men without jackets or ties and women in Sunday shifts?  If you are attending a beach wedding, that might be fine and good enough.
