Saturdays At Shop This ~

`

Moda Operandi

What's black and white and red all over? Saturday at Shop This! I hate to say it, but Summer is moving too fast for me, and it hasn't even started. This weekend I am sharing a few good sales, some fun fashion, a little beauty, and more.  Enjoy!

Black and white is always right in my fashion book. These looks from Anthropologie are giving summer vibes in the best of ways. Love that skirt!

 BuDahGirl's Couture Stack is perfect for your black and white wardrobe. Wear it as seen here or pick just a piece or two to wear.

And for those of you looking for something different. This fishnet midi will get you noticed. It's by Simkhai.

Ralph Lauren at Bergdorf Goodman. Always classy and classic! 

If you like a minimal look when dressing, The  Marcella NYC tops are fabulous. I love almost all of their tops! See them at Nordstrom.

The Laundress Stain Remover is my favorite summer accessory! It has never let me down. Yesterday it graciously erased the red wine spill on my pretty pink top! Well, it is 25% off at The Container Store, along with everything else on their website. It's a great sale.

One of my favorite dresses of all timeis now 50%off and only $120. If they have your size, you are a lucky girl. See it at Moda Operandi

Oh how I love these marvelous mules. The mix of weaves is everything. And they are kitten heels! See them at Simon Miller. 

Why Is Everyone Sleeping With Zinc Oxide on Their Face? Get the answer from Vogue. 

P.S. I am not.

If you are like me, and always looking for a new salad to serve.,....  This looks fresh, fruity, summery and divine! Jt's Half Baked Harvest's Strawberry Watermelon Salad with Burrata

Foodie Friday: You'll Scream For This Ice Cream

 

Sunday is National Ice Cream Day. So today's post is all about ....you guessed it....ice cream! We did an Ice Cream Sundae Bar on the 4th of July. It was a big hit. Any type of participartory mealtime event is always fun for a crowd.  Going out for ice cream is a fun summer tradition. After perusing this post, you just may want to stay in.

Lavender Honey Ice Cream

How appealing, right? This recipe calls for making a custard...old school. But the steps just might be worth it. You'll need some culinary lavender. I sourced it for you at Amazon.

Frolic And Fare

No Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Have you noticed how good strawberries are this summer? They are expensive, too. At the Farmer's Market organic strawberries were $12! But they were the best strawberries I ever had. This recipe calls for store bought cheesecake. And that's such a step saver.

The Cozy Plum

Ice Cream Sundae Flute Glass

Serve your homemade creations with style. Let's face it, ice cream cones are messy, but these glass cones are both chic and mess free.

Anthropologie

Coconut Sorbet
I grew up on homemade coconut ice cream, but I never had it made in a sorbet. It sounds so light and refreshing. The best is that it can be made in a blender or ice cream maker.

No Churn Southern Banana Pudding Ice Cream

The ingredients include cream cheese and vanilla wafers. What a delight this must be.

Dash of Jazz

No Churn Pistachio Ice Cream
The recipe calls for pistachio paste. I am sure that this concentrated paste gives the green coloring and dreamy flavoring.YUM!

A Classic Twist

Eve Coupe Dessert Glass

This is an elegant way to serve ice cream or any dessert. It's lovely for $10.

CB2

No Churn Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

Oh this takes me back to my mom's peach ice cream.  And though she just made straight peach ice cream, she would serve it over homemade peach cobbler. Kind of the same, and just delicious.

Quiet Baking Day

No Churn Coffee Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Vegan & Gluten Free
The author says it best: "This cookie dough ice cream is so rich and creamy, flavored with coffee, gluten free cookie dough, and a smooth fudge swirl"  This ice cream is a dream for those with food issues.

Butternut Baker

This maker with a built in compressor is one of Food & Wine's top picks. No need to pre-freeze a bulky bowl or canister. It makes, ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet in 30 to 60 minues. Now 24% off.
