Keep Your Cool In Off The Shoulder Looks

This hot weather calls for creative dressing. Off the shoulder has been my signature style for many years.  Not only is it cool, but alluring, too. Our shoulders are the last part of us to age. Why not highlight them? In fact, when baring your shoulder, try a little highlight or bronzing powder on them. It's very effective.

{ Lele Sadoughi }

Oh the places you will go wearing the Lele Sadoughi summer accessories above! Neiman's has 300 styles! I have zero plans for the weekend, and I am not mad about it, after the last three weekends. Here's what caught my eye this week. Scroll down for the weekend wrap up.

Dress or Matching Set? La Double J wants to know. What's your summer party vibe? The Eve dress is marked down by 50% at Net-a-porter. Find the pants at Saks. And find more La Double J on sale at Net-a -Porter

Need a pretty container or dispenser for shampoo, soaps, lotions, and hand wash? The Polished Jar at Etsy is filled with fabulous finds for all of your needs.

Outdoor Party Pop: These Rainbow Rattan Food Covers and other serving pieces make the party pop. At under $36, they also are great host gifts.

Just so charming! These be-tasseled jewelry boxes make a great girlfriend gift at under $40.

Fashion Find: Alice + Olivia's Embellished Shawl. It is just gorgeous. It's majorly marked down, but still a wee bit pricey. A real find and a collector's piece.

Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale will be a good one, as usual. But what's on my radar are the beauty, skincare, and frangrance products on sale now. I found Armani Beauty, Kiehl's, Laura Mercier and much more.

Pamper yourself. The Goop List of 12 Exceptional Destination Spas and Wellness Retreats is full of destination details. It's a great guide with photos.

Father's Day Deals at Banana Republic Factory. Everything is 50% off with an extra 20% off at checkout. I can reccomend their Linen Shop for men ~ shorts, shirts, sweaters, and jackets.  It's helpful that they come in XXL sizes, too.

Mark & Graham's Summer Collab with Business & Pleasure is so good looking! And it is chock full with everything you need for fun in the sun.

If you ever wondered: Here's How To Dry and Preserve Flowers from Better Homes & Gardens. I never knew how.

Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Happy Saturday! I am in a Mediterranean mood after coming across the new melamine (outdoor) dinnerware above at WS.  It's lovely. As always, this weekend wrap up offers interesting articles, stylish sales, fab fashion, and more. Please enjoy.

Italian Style: La Double J serves up Milano masterpieces. The Sundowner Dress is new, and I love the look. You will rarely find me wearing a print, but I would wear this. It's really a dress with a removable belt, you know one of those skinny self tie things. And it has matching pants. But in my view, this is how to style this look. Fabulous. 

It's been a while since I brought a yummy recipe to you. This will make up for that. Tap for Strawberry Stuffed French Toast!

Fab Florals: This candle is almost too pretty to light. It's a heavenly host gift at $38. Available in four colors at Terrain

7 Essential Beauty Tips For All Ages. The list includes three tools for applying foundation, depending on the look you want to achieve. Turns out I use all of them.

Have you had time to read the sale post of the week? Find it HERE and add 25% off at COS, a website that offers reasonable prices, good fabrication, and stylish offerings. 

Speaking of sales. I found a grand sale on Dyson hair tools at Nordstrom Rack. I have always wanted the hairdryer. It's priced to buy!

Ulla Johnson's " Cordelia Dress " is a fave find this week. It is not inexpensive, but it looks more than it is. Ulla is becoming more and more one of my favorite designers. Her website will not disappoint.

Breezy Linen: This Madewell Shirt is so delightful with beautifully placed embroidery. Love that it has long sleeves and is under $100. I like it best in white.

Take note: Personalized Note Pads make the best gifts, especially at $17 - $29. I love the scalloped pastel pads at Preppy Jones!
