Saturdays At Shop This

 Flower power. I need "something" after this rough week. Feeling better, and just may be ready to go out and smell the roses this weekend. Hopefully you are feeling fine and can enjoy a little down time with these lovely links. Think 30% off at J.Crew,  Bergdorf's new Conscious Curation, and more!

Fashion designer Azeeza is coloring our outdoor world at CB2  in every shade but greige. It's  wonderful, and worth a look.

Have you ever wondered how often you should wash your hair? Goop gives us an in depth study including a test to know the porosity of your hair. It's all very interesting.

Step into Summer in J. Crew's Espadrille's. There are slip ons, lace ups, sandals, and wedges in sorbet shades. Save 30% on all of them!

Conscious Curation: Kudos to Bergdorf Goodman who has curated a collection of sustainable and socially conscious brands and products.

I love Mac Cosmetics Eyeshadow. It's on sale this weekend at Nordstrom, and now only $14.25 per pod. It is highly pigmented and has a great color payoff.

Looking ahead to the holidays? The Silvia Tcherassi Trunk Show at Moda Operandi is beyond fab. It's filled with fancy frocks for the parties to come. There are some dream dresses, for sure!

Patio Pretty: Add a little glam to your outdoor space with this Citronella Candle. It comes in gold and copper, and will keep the bugs at bay with style!

I love having plenty of disposable dinnerware  on hand for summer entertaining. This Etsy shop stocks the most elegant styles around. I love the Versace-ish plates I ordered. Shipping was free and very fast.

My favorite lip gloss: Sara Happ in Rose Gold. But the Ballet Slip is also pretty in pink. This is good for your lip "stuff." And best of all, it is not sticky at all. Every time I wear it, "Mr. Shop This" notices.

I hope that you have a beautiful weekend with time to stop and smell OR wear the flowers!

Saturdays At Shop This: All About Wonder Women

Wonder Woman saves the day at the box offices, as it opens up to rave reviews. She believes in strength, love and grace ... just like you.  Today we celebrate Gal Gadot's success, and that of all of the strong women in the world. Here's some fun links that promise to inspire, adorn, and inform.

If you want to know what all of the Wonder Woman fuss is about, Vogue has a great summary.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Knowledge is Power! There's a new book out that we all should read, written by the editors of Goop. Clean Beauty—and Why It’s Important. I do believe that we all need to be more aware of what we are putting on our skin. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Imagination is Power! Are you raising little super kids? They will love the handmade playwear at Love Lane. I especially like that owner Lane Huerta creates super hero capes and accessories not only for boys, but for girls, too. So very cute.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
This Wonder Woman "thing" is really catching on. HSN has a Wonder Woman edit online with style picks from Betsy Johnson, Benefit Cosmetics, R.J. Graziano & more.
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I am not sure how I feel about little girls playing with dolls and swords. Yes I am, I don't like it any more than I would my child playing with dolls and guns. But, if you are into collecting Barbie dolls or anything Wonder Woman, Target has a selection of action figure female dolls.

It's Wonder Woman time at Ron Robinson. Shop an exclusive West Coast Launch of NUYU x Wonder Woman fashion forward athleisure styles HERE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Here's a great grad gift for a super girl on your list: The Alex and Ani Wonder Woman Collection. Whether you’re a super hero or a super fan, all of your Wonder Woman gear is here. Celebrate the icon with pieces that channel her fearless, feminine energy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, took her comfort in her own hands (and feet) by wearing Aldo Starda flat sandals at one of her premiers. The shoes are studded with gold and only $50.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wonder Women come in all shapes and sizes. I loved this article: The Style Commandments of Plus-Size Dressing at Popsugar. The old rules no longer apply.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
And finally, they say Diamonds are a girl's best friend. They are also the strongest mineral on Earth. Don't all of us strong and resilient Wonder Women deserve diamonds? The Kismet by Milka Diamond Star Collection at Neiman Marcus surely has magical powers!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Have a beautiful weekend. Remember that we are all wonder women and super men, with unlimited possibilities. Be your best self. 

XOXO
