I am finally excited for a weekend. There's a family wedding, and I can't wait to see my relatives from  far and near. It's been a week of preparation and beauty regimes. It takes a village these days! I hope that you have something to look forward to, as well. Before I hit the dance floor, here are some share worthy links from Etsy, One Kings Lane and more.

Color me happy. The new Summer Collection has launched at Budha Girl. They are the first fashion company that uses daily rituals to bring mindfulness into people’s everyday lives. It's jewelry with good vibes.

Have a Nordstrom Credit Card? Then you are in luck, and can shop the Anniversary Sale now. Those that don't have the card can take a peek and build your wish list now, but must wait until July 28th to buy. On my radar: L'Occitane's Hand Cream Set.  The Barefoot Dream Cozy Chic Cardigan is reduced by about $50. And there is a good selection of lovely Lafayette 148 NY included.

I am so happy to share with you The Etsy Edit with Padma Lakshmi from the Food Network. She has hand picked and curated a collection of stylish serving bowls, terrific  trays, candy colored glasses, festive linens & more. There's even recipe to try! Do take a look.

It's all about the eyes:  I am very pleased with  my It Cosmetics "Naturally Pretty" Eyeshadow Palette. I just received it this week. You will love every single matte shade. Then there is a transforming shade, that adds a sheen to any of the colors. It's really good. Buy it at Nordstrom with Free Shipping, or from It Cosmetics at 25% off.

Here's another fun find from Etsy: The shop The Parties That Pop, offers the cutest party decor, party hats, paper plates, and more! Bookmark the shop for your next shindig.

Shop the All-Clad Cookware sale at Sur La Table. People I know swear by their sets.

If you love your Tom's shoes like I love mine, this is the day to shop. Save $20 on $60 orders or $35 on $100 orders. They are so very comfy! These Lace Alpargata's are pretty in rose gold.

The Serena & Lily Tent Sale is still going strong. The Positano Linen Pajamas are so lovely in Wild Rose. There's also a stylish selection of pillows, throws, and so much more.

This is interesting: The One Kings Lane Monogram Style Guide. True lovers of classic design know that there is nothing more elegant than a monogram. OKL helps us to master the etiquette of monogram use. And there are a few good examples to shop!

May your weekend be stacked with style. And remember to find the beauty in everyday things.

Fabulous Finds From Etsy

  

{ Via: Arturo Rios }

From haute hats like above, to high styled hardware, Etsy has it all, and then some. It is a marvelous marketplace, but you do need to know where to look. I have had the best time shopping for you. This is just a small sample of the talented Etsy makers. If you like anything here, do click the photo or the shop name, you will most likely love the other designs of each shop.

Rutilated Quartz Nature Inspired Ring

This ring stopped me in my tracks. The quartz is framed by two brilliant cut diamonds. It's one part whimsical and another part glam! 

Handmade in New Jersey.

Olivia Ewing Jewelry

Applique Monogram Guest Towel

A gorgeous gift or added touch to any powder room.

Monograms ETC.

Prabal Gurung Creator Collab

Notecards

Everything about these simple but chic cards says designer. Loving the gold foil printing and lined envelopes. 

Anco Paper Goods

Turkish Beach Towels

I own two in grey, and absolutely love them. First of all there is the price. It's way less than $20. I use mine to cover my lounge chair on our sun deck. It's huge. I really don't know how thirsty they are, because I have never been wet when using it. I do know that they are soft. Super soft. It's a sophisticated look and if I had a personal pool, I would buy them by the dozen...which they do sell. Perfect for picnics too. 

Kalkedon 

Handmade Marble Paper

This paper is extraordinary! I bought two colors at Christmas, and they made a spectacular presentation under the tree and around my home. Not only is the paper handmade, it is eco friendly and from a fair trade company. 

Read their story on Etsy.

Heal and Sustain

Disposable Tableware

Their tag line is: Modern. Simple. Snazzy. Party Happiness. They aren't kidding. This is a small sample of their disposable tableware. It is nice enough for special event or just a Saturday with friends. It's time to take it outside. Elevate your next alfresco dinner.

Pret-a-Party

Silk Headbands

If you have shopped headbands lately, you know how expensive they can be. These are all on sale and most for less than $10. I loved these which come in other colors, too, and the bow bands are simply adorable. I am positive that you will find something to love.
Dreaming Studio Company

Modern Drawer Pulls, Knobs & Hooks

A good looking knob or pull, is like jewelry for the cabinet or drawer. This Etsy shop offers super luxe designs, at very affordable prices. I loved 

almost every design.

Oh how lovely! Each napkin is hand embroidered with the fun and colorful words of "Love, Dream, Hope, and Joy." It's all packed for gifting in a beautiful branded box. Also part of the Prabal Gurung collab.

Extra Special Touch

Pillows are one of the easiest ways to change up your decor. This Etsy shop creates pillow covers from designer fabrics from Schumacher, Sister Parish, Quadrille, and more. And if you are dressing up your patio or porch for outdoor living, they have a chic collection of outdoor pillows, too.

Will you be watching the run for the roses? As an ex-race horse owner, I still get excited (and nervous) for The Kentucky Derby. I'll be spending the rest of the weekend getting ready for my first trip to NYC in way over a year! Before your Saturday gets busy, scroll through these quick Saturday links.  And may your horse win, place or show. I'm betting on Essential Quality. 

You don't have to be at Churchill Downs to rock a hat. But they can be expensive. Mod Party offers quite a collection of hats at reasonable prices. They are really fun!

How to make a classic Mint Julep: I have never made one. Have you? These promise to be as good as those served at The Kentucky Derby.

If I had a horse in the race today, I would be wearing this Baguette Horseshoe Ring.

Who else is excited about Bethenny Frankel's new show, "The Big Shot with Bethenny?" She's a hot mess, but a smart one, and a huge philanthropist. Vogue spells it out. It will be worth viewing just for the fashion!

Hats off to all of you! Each day is a race of some kind for everyone. Let's just do our best this weekend, and we will all be winners.
