Saturday's At Shop This:

Don't you just want to be a butterfly in Bucklebery today? I so remember how Pippa's "almost royal" bum nearly stole the show in her bridesmaid dress designed by Alexander McQueen in 2011. She was almost as breathtaking as her sister, Kate. I am writing this post on Friday, by the time you read it, we may know who designed her dress, and even have a peek at the little royals. It's so exciting. The British are calling Pippa's nuptials the wedding of the year! Didn't get your invite? Here are some links to keep you busy this weekend.

Speaking of weddings and toasting the newlyweds......Surely you have heard the saying "Rosé All Day," or "Yes Way Rosé."  In some circles it has almost become Summer's Water, because it is light and refreshing. Perhaps the most well known brand is Whispering Angel Rose. It's highly rated by the experts, has a cult following, and is less than $25. So if you want to look hip, bring a bottle to your next barbecue. You can find it at Wine.com

Look to this edit at Childrensalon for everything Fit for a Little Prince Or Princess. The littlest royals could be wearing something from here and/or the designer, Nicki Macfarlane. Nicki designed the bridesmaids dresses for the wedding of HRH Duchess of Cambridge.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I can't help myself, I'm on a English kick today. I noticed on Barney's Window, British home furnishings designer, Tom Dixon, shares his new Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow Collection and installation at Barneys. His home accessories make fabulous host gifts!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jo Malone London: Have you tried it? My sweet niece gifted me with a candle last month. It is divine! Then I had a sample of the "grapefruit" fragrance. I loved it! It's all so gift worthy! 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Father's Day is coming soon. If Dad is an Anglophile, he might really love Gallant & Beau's London Cab Cuff links. They are influenced by bespoke British style.

Okay, I am done with the British bits and bobs. I love the casual things at Splendid. The fabrication is very soft and chic. Now you can save 30% sitewide with Code: SUMMER30

What's New In My Beauty Bag

{ Via: Etsy }

Every once in a while we girls need a maintenance day. You know, a day to clean up our act, polish our toes, cover the roots, shape the brows, powder our noses. I am having one of those days, and have "beauty" on the brain. So today I share five new items in my beauty bag. Each one has become an integral part of my daily routine. What's your new beauty obsession?

Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush
I can't imagine life without this brush. After 3 months of use, I can highly recommend it for foundation. It was the Winner of Allure magazine's 'Best of Beauty' Award for Best Brush for Foundation, 2016. It is the softest brush I have ever known. It is dense, too. What I like most is how it feels on the face and the fact that it does not absorb much of  my foundation product. My old brushes did. I hated to see the waste. I give this brush 5 Stars!
Nordstrom  

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue
It's a tinted hydrating gel cream. In other words, it is a BB Cream, CC Cream and Tinted Moisturizer all in one.  It also won Allure Magazine's "Best Of Beauty" Award for best Mineral Foundation. It's free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, dye, and petrochemicals. I wear it under my foundation, and it allows me to wear about 50% less foundation. This is what I like to put on in the morning, upon waking, so I don't frighten the world! It has a bit of radiance (not much) but enough to diffuse lines and wrinkles. I love the soft focus that it offers my complexion. The color natural is what I wear for my totally light beige skintone.
Nordstrom

Mally Ultimate Performance See The Light Concealer
I bought mine after reading this article in NY Mag. Concealers are tricky, and now I use two. This is the newest concealer to be added to my regime. The other is Laura Mercier's High Coverage Concealer. You don't hear much about this product but it is fabulous! Mally's though is my favorite. I use it on top of my foundation for "brightening" the under eye. And boy does it ever! A dab will do ya. Please click the following link to watch the video and see how Mally applies this dream cream in an inverted triangle. I wear Fair but plan to change to Light for Summer. Get the set at
QVC

Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders
Available in four illuminating shades, and designed to sculpt the face with light. This is my finishing touch to my makeup routine. The powder is so very fine that it instantly becomes invisible. I call it complexion candlelight. Like a candle, it casts a soft focus where you place it. Mr. Shop This, noticed something was different the first time I used it. Score! I use the shade called incandescent, but I plan to try all four shades. Love!
Nordstrom 

Farmacy Beauty Sleep Tight
Called a face lift in a jar (that may be a bit of an exaggeration) but it is a great product. After just one use, you will notice that your skin is firmer, pores are tighter, and the complexion is brighter. I love the fact that it is without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is also free of formaldehyde and artificial coloring, which is so important.  The color and consistency is unique. It is green, naturally, because it is plant based. The scent is green, as well. Very fresh. It is so emollient, almost like a gelee, a tiny amount, like a fingertip, is all I need for my normal not dry skin. Watch a video at
