Saturdays At Shop This: Hello Summer!

I am so happy to be with you on the first day of Summer.  Spring was a bust thanks to Covid19. I wonder what the next few months will bring?  Let's hope that we all stay safe, listen, and learn. Today's links are filled with 
Summer vibes.

I am obsessed with Beekman 1802's Pot Of Gold Shimmer Goat Milk Body Cream. Just received mine yesterday. It's so luxurious and adds the prettiest shimmer to the skin. It's especially pretty on my slightly tanned arms and legs. HSN offers a fabulous deal ~ 2 for the price of one. It's unscented, but the other scents are fab and 
all natural.

I needed a new beach towel. So I found Kalkedon Towels on Etsy. I don't swim, so no need for anything heavyweight. These Turkish Towels feature size and style. They would be perfect for picnics, and lightweight enough to throw into a tote bag. Love the attached tassels, and you will love the price!

Saturdays At Shop This: Oscar Edition

{ Via: Vogue  }

It's a little odd that today's post focuses on the Oscars, since I haven't seen a darn movie. We hope to rectify that with a movie date on Valentine's Day.  Margot Robbi, shown above is a two time Oscar nominee this year.  Love her sophisticated but simple look. Scroll down for all things Oscar like swag bag items, fashion, food and more.

 
Even more than the gowns at The Oscars, I love the hair and beauty on the red carpet. Rita Hazan's shine balm is part of the swag that the actors and directors receive. Shop this beauty brand at 
Dermstore and get free shipping.

Another freebie for the celebs is a beautiful Alpaca Throw by Johanna Howard. See it in dip dyed classic blue at
One Kings Lane

Under The Stars: While the stars are getting their beauty sleep, they also are receiving some extra star power. Another gift, that sounds very cool is the "BlissLights SkyLite Galaxy Projector." It's Amazon's #1 Best Selling nightlight. Bring the outside in. Perfect for the kiddies, too.

 Oscar De La Renta will be represented on the red carpet. Rumor has it that pink might be big this year. I wonder if anyone will wear Look #32 from the Spring Collection or Look # 18 from the Fall Collection. Both are 
dreamy confections.

Harpers Bazaar

One of Hollywood's best known skincare experts is Kate Somerville. I bet that she hasn't had an open appointment for a month or two. Her clinic is delightful, and "Miss Shop This" thought it was the best facial ever. Lucky for us all we can get her products on line. What to start with? Exfolikate! Get a free gift with purchase this weekend.

The Oscars Governors Ball:  The menu will be 70% plant based this year. How fabulous! Studies show that a plant based diet keeps away disease and inflammation. I have not gone there yet, but it is a goal for the year, at least for part of my meals.  Goop offers some very interesting articles, menues, recipes and plant based products. Worth a look.

Kenneth Jay Lane Jewelry: Big name celebrities have long worn his jewelry. Click here to see stars like Liz Taylor, Jane Fonda, Katy Perry and more, in his designs. Shop his website and save 25% sitewide. Code: VDAY20

Celebrity Make Up Tips: Sir John, the superstar makeup artist who works with the likes of Cate Blanchett and Jessica Chastain, states that his clients are looking for that "lit from within" look. Take another peek at my post: Red Carpet Beauty for products that illuminate.

Who will wear what remains to be seen.  Enjoy the show, and remember to always go for the gold!
