Saturdays At Shop This

Today's theme is black and white. All I can see when looking out my window for the last three weeks is white snow. And well, black is just the chicest color. Enjoy this weekend wrap up of sales, recipes, and shopping links.

Only Monique Lhuillier can create feminine and sexy in the same gown. Shop the trunk show at Moda Operandi. It's beyond gorgeous.

What to wear on Valentine's Day, Wherever It Takes You. Goop has some stylish suggestions from salsa dancing to a romantic getaway.

Aren't these Mesh Ballet Fkats adorable? They are from H&M and under $50!

Simon Miller always brings the fun. I just might need these wide leg pants. And the waistband is pull on. Conmfort and style!

For the love of chocolate! What's more romantic or chocolately than a Molton Lava Cake? It's decadant and surprisingly easy to make! Get the recipe at Broma Bakery

 Never quite talked about toothpaste before on the blog. If a toothpaste can be chic, Marvis is. There are different flavors, and it is a bit pricy as toothpaste goes. Bloomingdale's has it 25% off this weekend.  Treat yourself.

Guys, please remember, anything in a Chanel Gift Box is always a good idea. They will gift wrap and ship for free in time for V-Day. She will love getting whatever you select. 

Did you watch the Grammy's?  I have been playing Olivia Dean's music ever since. Her dress by Chanel was the best look.  I even loved Bad Bunny's tux and acceptance speech. What a standup American citizen!  I can't wait to salsa to his half time show this Sunday.

Here Comes The {Fashion} Bride

{ Via: Harpers Bazaar }

I am ecstatic about what's happening in bridal for 2020. The modern brides-to-be are looking for high fashion frocks. Forget the royals or wanting to look like a princess, the fashion bride will reign this year. Perhaps it's thanks to Instagram, but brides this year want to create a "look" that is "Insta-worthy," and reflects their own fashion forward personality. Today's roundup features exaggerated bows, black, fringe, feathers, pants and pastels. It's all so ceremony chic.

Wedding Wednesday: Accessories For Your Bridal "Do"

Wedding Wednesday: The Spring 2020 Gowns Of Your Dreams

{ Via: Vera Wang }

If you are planning a Spring 2020 wedding, surely you are dress shopping now. I purchased mine the same month that I was engaged. And if you can believe, I bought the only dress that I tried on. Who does that? And unlike the girls on "Say Yes To The Dress," there was no entourage, just a girl with a clear  idea of what she wanted to wear. If you are dress shopping or just dress dreaming, here's inspiration for what's to come next year. 

Oscar De3 La Renta Spring 2020 
Look #5
Dreamy and dramatic. Looks like oversized bows are still trending for next Spring.
Oscar De La Renta

Vera Wang Hyacinth Asymmetric One Shoulder Gown
Vera's theme for Spring 2020 and her 30th anniversary was simply enchanting.  As always, her designs are unique and undeniably beautiful.
Moda Operandi

Cushnie Bridal
The Alex is so very sleek and sophisticated.  A perfect choice for a second time bride. LOVE!
Moda Operandi

Carolina Herrera Lourdes Jumpsuit
Chantilly lace and a lot of grace even in a modern pantsuit. This is pretty wonderful for the bride that dares to be different.
Moda Operandi

Anne Barge Something Blue
This collection is classically chic with exquisite detailing in refined silhouettes. Love the pockets.
Zsa Zsa Bellagio

Markarian Aura Gown
Fabulous for the minimalist bride. That skirt
 is everything.

Like Vera Wang, this collection was presented in an enchanted garden. It's meant to be a captivating fantasy. This gown with the sheer cape reminds me a bit of Juliet.

I just had to add a black dress to the edit. You see, my own Miss Shop This plans to wear black at her wedding. Which means I can't. But it is her special day, so be it. This is fabulously fun!
