Retail Therapy: Fashion Finds $50 And Under

Sometimes all we need is a little retail therapy to brighten our day. Just a small indulgence can make a difference. Today by "small" I mean everything under $50. It's almost guilt free shopping, especially when you are saving over 50% in some cases. It's a fashion crime to pass up a good deal, don't you agree?  Scroll down to see the goodies I found for us today.

HERE: 12 Finds To Pick Up Today

Gold Sunnies
A structured but very stylish look. These shades make a big style statement. The Boyfriend Tee on the model is also under $40. The two go well together, I think. 
Beyond Proper

Stelen Georgia Wrap Top

Who can't use a new crisp white shirt? This one has details for days.

Need Supply

Daisy Floppy Hat

How cute is this? Chic and so much fun for less than $20.
Saks Off Fifth

Stelen Joan Blouse in Black

Loving the beautiful bishop sleeves on this off the shoulder top. It will look just as good with denim as it does with white pants.

Need Supply

Erno Laszlo Marble Bright Face Mask

I have used Laszlo facial soap for years,  and have also enjoyed their mud mask. This product is new to me. It's on sale, and a nice way to try this luxe brand.
Anthropologie 

Zadie Pant
You just can't beat black and white for Summer. A wide leg pant is actually cooler on the body.
Need Supply

Off The Shoulder Dress

I actually own this dress. It makes the perfect non-see through beach coverup for me. But I also can wear it as a dress. Adorable for less than $30
H & M

Audrey Jeans by Beija Flor
These are tempting me. Brazilian-style jeans are noted for their slimming silhouette that helps flatten your tummy, lift your rear and shape your curves in ultra-stretchy comfort. 
These were $168!
Soft Surroundings

Luella Mule

I've loved these mules for some time. Now that they are on sale they are irresistible. Also available in six other patterns.
Sole Society

Melvina Flower Earrings

White earrings seem to be a thing this season. They do brighten up the face. These remind me of Chanel's white Camellia. Also available in Blush and Pink.
Baublebar

Tortoise Monogram Keychain
Stock the gift closet. Here is the perfect personalized present for under $20.  
Anthropologie

own dream room. 

Serena & Lily Wallcovering

Wallpaper can make a big statement in a room, and I love it, especially for a guest room. My guest room currently is used as a den/guest room combination, and has grasscloth on the walls. I would love to repeat that process, but change up the color, and continue it into the en suite bath. Here's where I need the help of Pencil & Paper. I can't decide which paper. Shown Left to right Grasscloth in black or in Silver and the pattern is Cayman Cork . 
They are all good, right?

The Octavia Bed
I chose this style because of its' beautiful silhouette, with simple lines and  sophisticated presence. It's neither modern or traditional. I chose the washed linen upholstery in metal.

Gobi Bedding 
For a clean spa like feel to the room, I have chosen Gobi, for it's sophisticated and simple borders. There's many colors to chose from but shown above in Pewter. I also enjoy the Border Frame Duvet Covers found here.

Throws
A throw at the bottom of the bed adds texture, pattern and warmth to the look of the bed. I can't quite decide which one? Actually all three would be great to own for changing up the look by the seasons.

Elm Swivel Chair

Our guest room features a fabulous water view of Lake Michigan. The swivel chair in silver linen with nickel nailheads, will allow the guest to be able to look out the window with ease. As always, there are so many colors and fabrics to choose from at 
Serena & Lily.

Throw Pillows

You will find a collection of pillows in every shape and pattern. The Devon Pillow Cover blends all of my color palette beautifully.

Nightstands
Again I am considering three different styles. The choice will be clear when the wallcovering color is selected. All good choices here, and because I am not a fan of matchy matchy, I will most likely choose two styles.

French Cuff Wall Sconces

If you can believe, I only have two table lamps in my home. They were custom designed and two of a kind....the opposite of traditional. Lighting is not my thing, but of course, it is necessary. These are minimalistic but have a great French modern flair. Love!

Storage Basket

Love the silver shine to this basket, which will blend with the nickel trim of the swivel chair, and the wall sconces. Fill the basket with welcome gifts, magazines, towels, etc.

Art

Art changes everything, and Serena & Lily has a fabulous collection of pieces from original works, vintage, prints and more. Shown above is Holly Addi's Fogges Study 2. 

It's perfect for this room.

Guest Room Rug

I enjoy the simplicity of the Heath Rug. It's available in four colors, and of course I like the charcoal shade the best. It's a blend of wool and viscose, making it sturdy and long lasting, not to mention soft underfoot.

Foodie Friday: Food For Fathers

This Foodie Friday has men in mind, specifically, my guy, "Mr. Shop This." If you don't know by now, one of the ways to any man's heart is through his stomach. If all you do for dear ol' Dad is cook him a good meal, you will earn a gold star. This recipe roundup throws caution and diets to the wind with over the top desserts, spicy sides, and cocktails to toast your man of the day.



HERE: 16 Dad Approved Dishes

Oven Fried Chicken and Red 
Velvet Waffles
Let's begin with a hot stack of waffles and crunchy chicken. The whole thing has been drenched with a cream cheese icing. You can keep the chicken, but I'll take the waffles.
Say Grace

Surf & Turf 
Not just any Surf and Turf. This recipe features a spicy roasted garlic chimichurri butter. I for one, feel that chimichurri elevates everything. It begins with rib-eye steaks. Who wouldn't enjoy this meal?
Half Baked Harvest

Grilled Sangria
If you haven't grilled fruit, you are missing out. The process makes limes, lemons, and pineapple ever so juicy. The caramelized sugars will add richness and smoky-sweet depth to every sip. 
Saveur

Strawberry Cheesecake With Pretzel Crust
With a crunchy and salty crust, this looks like the perfect Summer dessert.
A Dash Of Texas

Crunchy Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
A popper for Pop! The perfect thing to go with an ice cold beer. These are made with Ruffles potato chips, and that's where the crunch comes into play.
Bakers Royale

The Perfect Michelada 
This recipe is for beer lovers. It's a cross between a bloody and a beer.  You'll notice a hit of heat that is balanced by the the brightness of lime.
Serious Eats

20 Minute Crispy Honey Ginger Salmon
This recipe leaves the skin on, which I never do. Maybe I should reconsider because the recipe swears that the crispy skin is really good. What sounds better to me is the sauce. It is a simple base of honey, chiles, a little soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lime. Yum!
Half Baked Harvest

Cake Au Lait
Proof that you can drink your coffee and eat your cake, too. Even if Dad isn't a coffee drinker, he will want a bite of this. It features Chocolate cake, Vanilla cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Donuts and of course espresso beans. Over the top for coffee lovers.
The Cake Space

Cilantro Lime Flank Steak
I keep hearing about how good flank steak is, but haven't tried it. There' something about having to marinate and pound a cut of meat to make it tender. I do marinate to infuse with flavor. This dish looks so good, that I may change my opinion on flank steak. The author says it is great hot or cold.
How Sweet Eats

Boozy Lemon Mojito Cupcakes

What dad wouldn't love a cocktail dessert? P.S. the booze is rum....Yum!
Broma Bakery

Burrata Pizza
I know a Dad that loves pizza. So did mine, but he never had anything like this.  Burrata. Prosciutto. Basil. Pizza Sauce. Red Pepper Flakes. That’s it. Done. Nothing more to say, except what time is dinner?
What's Gabby Cooking

No Churn Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Such a clever idea! As mentioned in past posts, I always make my own ice cream. The no churn method is so very simple. A good loaf pan as shown here is essential in my view. Dad and everyone at the table will just love 
this unique recipe.
Once Upon A Chef

 Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I know a Dad that would choose this over steak.  It does look good, doesn't it? It's made with Dr. Pepper and in the Crockpot.  This sandwich has Dad's name all over it.
Brit + Co.

Baby Back Ribs with Bourbon-Black
 Pepper Sauce
Haven't made ribs yet this season, but this recipe is tempting. In fact it had me at bourbon.
Williams Sonoma

Chocolate Caramel Bacon Milkshake
Forget dad. This mom wants a straw and a spoon pronto to taste test this treat. It's said to be one of the most decadent milkshakes ever. 
Around My Family Table

Easy Greek Chicken Kebabs
Kabobs are a favorite on the grill. The skinless chicken breast grills up quickly and can be marinated in as fast as 14 minutes. Perfect for Dads that do not do red meat.
