2020: Let's End It On A Positive Note

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio}

Have you ever seen a zebra and wondered how it got its' stripes? I do everytime. A zebra is proof of a higher power, as man could not produce such perfection.  This party animal is the way I want to go out this year. Along with a smile and a silly hat, let's end this negative year with some positive words.  Others say it better than I ever could. Enjoy and be happy that.....

 Hindsight is 2020!

Let's hear it for the unsung heroes of 2020. Thank you for caring. We all have the power to make someone feel good. Use it.

Especially dancing. Like chicken soup, it is so good for the soul. You don't even need a partner.

I learned this only a few years ago. This is a good reminder for myself. May your glass always be 

half full.

May your 2021 life path lead you to growth and good things!

Perhaps this is what 2021 will be all about.  

Love. One word makes everything possible.

Let's start our days in 2021 with these five positive affirmations.  I know our minds will thank us. 

An open mind is a beautiful thing. An open heart can be seen in the eyes. 

 Look for it.

Not so easy to do, but taking the high road always makes you feel better.

Always remember that nothing positive ever comes from a negative mind.

A good soul makes its' presence known. 

Look for it behind the mask.

I just learned how to do this.  Start off by typing a response, then deleting it. I am no longer tempted. Feels great! After all, everyone is entitled

 to their own opinion. 

In a world where we can be anything, being kind is the easiest. And it is free!

Do not lose hope. 

And never let anyone make you feel any less!

It's not too late! Each day is a new chance to make a difference.

Every minute counts. Thank you all for following along in 2020. I am so very grateful for your interest in  Shop This!

May Your New Year Sparkle!

Happy New Year!

2017 seems like a blur with the events of this last week. My impromptu trip to Florida added a lovely exclamation mark to an already busy week. The year ends with much to celebrate, including the engagement of "Miss Shop This." I am over the moon with happiness for she and her guy. Wedding Wednesdays will have an entire new meaning in 2018! I look forward to shopping and sharing with you all this coming year. Please know that I am so very grateful for your follows, interest, and support. Before we say goodbye to a challenging year, here's a few positive things to share.

Champagne Wishes......

I just love New Years. The ritual of saying "hello" to the new and "goodbye" to the old is so filled with promise. Do you stay up to see the New Year arrive? I do, and always with champagne in hand. In fact, I find myself blogging about 'Bubbly' alot. The best way to move forward is to "look back," and remember where you have been.  Today I send you my best Champagne Wishes for the New Year, while looking back at all things champagne chic on the blog.

HERE: 10 Champagne Wishes

This is a party waiting to happen.  I discovered this beautiful bucket earlier this month, and I am a bit obsessed. See it and other delicious party details at

A bride can often be found drinking champagne, but in this case she is wearing the prettiest Temperley London  gown done in a chic champagne shade.
