Darn, it's hot! This pretty in pink set up, is just what we need. Laying low and going slow this weekend. But I do want to share my favorite links of the week with you. 

Shades Of Pink To Come: From the Leo Lin Resort 2025 Trunk Show at Moda Operandi. Gorgeous.

Just discovered via Vogue, a new to me, online store, Massimo Dutti.  They carry both men's and women's fashion at reasonable prices. Check it out.

Dress of the Day: The Capri Caftan Dress by Jenni Kayne. It's linen and cotton and the perfect white dress from beach to bistro.

Cheers to pink glasses. Don't you just love a good glass? The shape of this one is super retro and very cool. Hand made in Poland, and only $14.95.

Woven Wonders: I am in love with these flats. In fact, The Brie is the best looking flat of the season. Have you tried Cecelia New York?

Discover Etsy's Chief Gifting Officer Drew Barrymore's go-to gifts for summer. These editors Picks are perfect for the unique gift.

Are you all set for Amazon Prime Days? They are coming next week on the 16th and 17th. You can't take advantage of the good buys unless you are a member. I will be sharing my favorite deals.

Nine Of The Prettiest Beach Hotels In The World. I'd take a ticket to any of them, but Cobbler's Cove in Barbados (above) tickles me pink.

Dee Ocleppo Sandals: For girls who just want to have fun! These indeed are just too much fun. I bet you have something to wear with them.

How To Pack For A European Holiday. You'll note that there isn't one concert tee shirt in the suitcase. There's some really good advice in this article, and chic choices for packing.

J Crew's linen Popover Dip Dye Maxi is now on sale. It's so very nice and perfect for traveling. Wear it down to breakfast. Love!

I sure do love my pink leather flower earrings. They are light as a feather and under $25. Why not take another look at the Summer Jewelry Edit post? You'll find more baubles and beads.

Have a Beautiful Weekend!

It's been quite a week. Everything about this inauguration was "unique." I watched every minute of it, and enjoyed both the fashion and the music. Today's post features a little bit of all of that.

Dr. Jill Biden wore a custom coat and dress by emerging designer, Markarian. There's a Markarian Trunk Show going on at Moda Operandi.  It's all feminine and sparkly, like the First Lady's look. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Poet, Amanda Gorman's Prada hair headband made quite the statement. You can get the look for less with the Victoire headband at Anthropologie for $20. And all of these Lele Sadoughi styles at Neiman Marcus are pretty, 

as well.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

The girls wore pearls! Always a classic fashion statement, pearls were on parade Wednesday, with Vice President Harris W. Rosado necklace. You can get the look with the Marco Bicego Lunario Collar Necklace at Nordstrom. This Ippolita Lollitini sterling silver necklace at Neiman's also is a 

similar style.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Jennifer Lopez song made me cry and so did her Chanel outfit! She was dressed in custom white Chanel. The sequined wide legged pants were fabulous! And so are Temperley London's Neri pants at 

Net-a-Porter.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I loved both Dr.  Biden's  and daughter Ashley's outfits for the Celebrating America evening event. Dr. Biden wore a divine dress by Gabriela Hearst. You can see this designer's collection, which focuses on modern luxury, at Matches Fashion. Ashley wore a Tuxedo by Ralph Lauren that featured cigarette pants and an undone bow tie. Very hip. Net-a-Porter has a page full of stylish elements to create your own tuxedo look.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Beauty looks were important, too. Lady Gaga made a statement with a bold lip in her own brand, Haus Laboratories. She wore the Le Monster Matte Lip crayon in "warm pure red."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Did you not love all of those coats with matching gloves? The looks were just so chic. I think this will become a new Winter trend. But colorful gloves are hard to find. These Maison Margiela long gloves in bright marigold or green are quite lovely.  And MSGM's long leather gloves in hot orchid are 

show stoppers.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I loved that every participant in the ceremonies wore a mask! Nowadays, the mask is our most important accessory. Many of the women had theirs made to match the outfits. For us mere mortals, Jennifer Behr's masks are still the most special.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

And finally, let's talk about the monochrome looks of the day. Almost every woman on stage wore one color, head to toe. I loved how the Biden grand daughters looked. As Harper's Bazaar wrote regarding the trend: "one where perfectly-tailored, fashion-forward suiting from America's emerging designers will be seen on main stages as often as classic menswear." Way to go, Girls."

This fireworks display and song by Katy Perry left me spellbound. Here's to new beginnings and a hopeful America.

Saturdays At Shop This: It's All About NYC

What an exciting weekend in NYC! In case you didn't know, it is the week when people gather from around the world to visit New York.  They come to see what American designers are showing for Spring 2020. From what I have seen so far, it's pretty wonderful. Pictured above are three very wearable styles from Sachin & Babi. I loved every look of theirs. Just for fun, today's post features NYC....its designers, stores, and a little bit of sunshine. Enjoy!

What to wear and where to eat at New York Fashion Week, according to Bergdorf Goodman.....and they should know!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

If you want to be the first to have what is on the runway this week, head to Moda Operandi and shop their 

Spring 2020 Trunk Shows

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Lucky are those in NYC this week, they get to go to Barney's New York. I so miss it in Chicago. Thank goodness Barney's website is still  going strong. In fact, if you head there now, you will see the ultimate NYFW Edit. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

A Fun Spin On Fashion: Saks Fifth Avenue, one of the grand dames of 5th Avenue, is all about the "disco dazzle" this fall. Click HERE for some sparkly styles.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Lafayette 148 New York: The Fall campaign is a love letter to the city of New York and the Lafayette 148 woman.  It's a fun photo shoot taken through the city. The brand is new to Shop This, but not to me. I love the fact that their price points are approachable, but certainly not inexpensive. Best yet, their sizing is inclusive. They offer a full range from petite to plus sizes. Take a look. I know that you will like what you see.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Central Park is the perfect place for sunshine and people watching. Mr. Shop This and I spent a day in the park last August. If you love the sun and the benefits it offers to our mind, bodies, and spirits, you will enjoy this article. 

"Sunshine Cutting Edge Medicine."

The next time you are in NYC, a must stop is the One King's Lane Soho flagship store.  It's right on Spring Street and has something for every home decor lover. Take a peek inside HERE.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

NYFW Neiman Marcus Style: It's a big deal because this is the first year that Neiman's has had a presence in NYC. They have dedicated a page to their store, the event, the live shows, videos and new Fall designer fashion. 

Take a look.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Gigi New York: Two Bags for the price of one? I am all about that. They have just introduced the Luna Reversible Tote and it's fab. One part metallic leather and the other sensuous suede. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Every season, one of my favorite runway shows is the Ralph Lauren show. The fashion is always stunningly sophisticated, and his shows are super creative. Best yet, you can purchase the styles right off the runway. We can all watch this year's show live on his website. Saturday, September 7th at 9PM ET. Meet me at Ralph's Club New York won't you?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Don't be afraid to strut your stuff on your own runways in life.  I say this to myself, as I have a new smile in the making, and am still in hiding.  Soon......

XOXOX

Whatever you have planned, I hope that you make the most of the weekend. Before the relaxation begins, here are some links to love.

Like a burnt out firecracker, I'm still feeling  #4th of July vibes. I do hope that you all had a happy holiday. We put in a lot of deck time for fun in the sun, and cocktails under the stars. Here's a few links to get you through the rest of the weekend. Enjoy!

Perhaps hard to believe, but my favorite sheets are from Macy's! It's there Charter Club Damask Solid Supima Cotton 550-Thread Count Bedding Collection. They are the perfect weight....certainly not lightweight....we triple sheet our beds like the high end hotels. These sheets wear fabulously, feel silky and look expensive. Best yet, they are on sale now, and you can take an Extra 20% off with

Surely you have read that Chemical Sunscreens go right into your bloodstream. It's appalling to me. Doctors don't know about this fact. Do the research. Here'a good article at GOOP.  I always use the EWG Skin Deep database to check all of my skincare. It's a great source. My favorite, Juice Beauty Sport Sunscreen, rates extremely 
safe in the database.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

A recent doctor's visit with blood tests showed that I had a huge Vitamin D insufficiency. I am doing my best to get an hour of full sunshine every day. I feel so much better. Get out there, friends. Use mineral sunscreen and enjoy.
