Saturdays At Shop This: New York, New York

{ Via: Tiffany Labelle }

It's been one of those weeks. I have played catch up every day after a week of vay-cay. You may have noticed that I went missing last week. An unplugged and impromptu trip to the Country with family, does a blogger good. I am about to do anther mini trip for the week ahead.  "Shop This" will take on NYC for five days. Tiffany LaBelle's illustration above, is her first NYC street scene.  If posts are a bit spotty next week, I may be on one of her 
shopping adventures!

 
When Barney's New York has a shoe sale its' a good one. But their best shoe sale this weekend is online at Barney's Warehouse. Take an EXTRA 50% off the Sale price of designer shoes. Click to SHOP

Bergdorf Goodman is a "must visit for me every trip to NYC. I start on the 7th floor (great ladies lounge) and work my way down. There's a big sale going on, and I will check out this Alexis Top (love). I've been wanting this Ubarre Toning & Sculpting Weight Tool.  Now it is 65% off! And I think, if they fit, I have to have these Studded Velvet Mules.

If you are new to NYC, Make sure to read the Goop New York City Guide. They dissect the city by area such as Downtown, Upper East, etc. It is the definitive guide to what's fabulous 
in the city.

I have stayed in some opulent rooms in fabulous hotels in NYC in the past. But for real value and a contemporary chic suite, I highly recommend The London NY. It is hard to beat for size, and it's quite deluxe. Best yet, if it matters to you, it's part of the Hilton family of properties.

Lucky me.  Dylan's Candy Bar ( and by the way you can get a drink there, too.) is practically across the street from where we will be staying. If you want to feel like a kid in a candy store, wherever you are. Shop their website HERE

Another stop in NYC is always Barney's New York on Madison. Their Mens Shop is quite something. The children's department is one of the best anywhere. Oh the outfits for little ones! We often have lunch at Fred's. But what I really love the best is Chelsea's Passage. Barneys.com has a great article about a bride curating her wedding registry. I feel sure that "Miss Shop This" will as well. It's just her style......glam with a little edge. If you are registering, try thinking outside the Big Box stores.

Henri Bendel has always been a girls' playground in NYC. Though it's not quite the same these days, I'll visit their Fifth Avenue store. If you can't get there, may I suggest that you treat yourself to one of their candles? Some are on sale. My favorite? Champagne, of course. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
What to gift a NYC baby? Anything from Estella NYC! The organic clothing and award winning little toys are adorable. But especially precious is this Big Apple Organic gift set.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
And finally, I may have saved the best for last. If you own a dog, you simply must shop the Bitch New York website. It's where all of the chic New York doggies shop.

Wherever you are going in the coming days. Get there with style! Have a beautiful weekend.

This recipe round up features both sweet and savory dishes like Roasted Peach and Goat Cheese Cheesecake and an Atlanta Style Peach & Mushroom Burger. These recipes will have you heading to the Farmer's Market, this weekend for your own perfect peaches.

Fresh Peach Gin & Tonic

Let's start with a refreshing peachy cocktail, shall we? I call this Summer in a glass.

I think that I will try this recipe out this weekend. It's a terrific twist on a
 Caprese Salad.
The Life Jolie

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Glaze
This may be my fave dish of the post. The sweet and salty elements here must be delicious.

I have made a good deal of ice cream over the last few years. The fresh peach flavor was the best. This recipe is made with an automatic ice cream maker.

Radicchio, Peach, & Cherry Summer Salad
The foundation of this salad is built on radicchio and watercress, then made sweet with peaches and cherries. Talk about sweet and savory! And have you had cherries this year? They are just fabulous. It all makes for such a pretty platter.
Bakers Royale

Honey Glazed Roasted Peaches with Mascarpone
A  simple dessert that allows the peaches to speak for themselves.
Williams Sonoma

A mango is paired with peaches, tomatoes, jalapeño and fresh herbs. It all sounds like the best salsa ever! I always wondered why anyone would buy salsa off a shelf 
with recipes like this.

Booze for breakfast? Absolutely! There is something about combining food with liquor that seems so festive. In a nutshell, these are... "Fluffy pancakes warmed by a touch of cinnamon and bursting with peaches, topped with the most delicious bourbon-soaked peaches on top."

Made with fresh pureed peaches and vodka, this recipe is a crowd pleaser!

With a buttermilk crust and pistachios, this certainly is an appealing dish. And who doesn't love a peach that went skinny dipping 
in bourbon?

These summer "sandwiches" don’t take long to make. The key is prepping all the vegetables and sauce in advance. I would say that they are just ever so picnic perfect!

Entertaining? Here's dessert on the rocks. Besides being drop dead gorgeous, these pops celebrate everything this Summer. Made with prosecco and fresh peach puree. 
Honestly Yum

Dutch Baby
Oh baby! Doesn't this look good? It's said to be light and airy, but most of all, simple and delicious. Brunch anyone?
Half Baked Harvest

Grilled Chicken Peach 
Saltimbocca Skewers 
Classic chicken saltimbocca gets a summery makeover. Let's begin with the wine marinated chicken and then the salty and buttery flavor of grilled prosciutto. Rounding off the savory dish are some fresh grilled peaches. Beyond!
Serious Eats

Sweet Peach Barbecue Sauce
You can't find this sauce on the grocery store shelf! And have you ever looked at what was in that bottle of sauce? This recipe is both sweet and tangy. It's made with pureed fresh peaches and Coca Cola (yes you read that right) to name just two of the yummy ingredients. It's easy and sounds so yummy.
Foodness Gracious

Roasted Peach and Goat Cheese Cheesecake

Before you turn up your nose, know that you will not even realize that goat cheese is in this recipe, except for the added richness it offers.

Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaid Style Under $150

{ Via: Etsy }

Now this was a challenge, but your bride tribe is worth the effort. Accepting the role of bridesmaid is both an honor and a big expense. It's tricky finding a look that matches your own wedding vision, looks good on all of the girls, and is also affordable. Bonus points if it is a dress that they might actually wear again. All of these elements are equally important. Truthfully, the sweet spot for stand out style seems to be in the $250 - $300 price range. There's plenty to choose from there. Taking it down to under $150 is a bit harder. My motto, however, is "good style can be found at every price." Hopefully this edit is proof positive.

   

HERE: 10 Styles For The Aisle

Tulle Gown
Pretty petals are embroidered and sparkle with sequins. Your girls will shine as they go down the aisle! Now on sale.
Adrianna Papell

   

As Ruffles Ripple Maxi

This gown was made for dancing. In fact, the layers of ruffles simply dance down the gown. Available in navy and sage green, also.

ModCloth

Drew Gown

Cut from a divinely unique and stunning floral applique fabric.  Love it for a garden or beach wedding. Bring more color in with shoes and flowers. Less than $100

Plum Pretty Sugar

Chi Chi London Aura

Embrace lace on your special day. Done in the prettiest plum purple. This fit and flare style comes in sizes 2 - 26, and should be flattering for all. The below the knee length is quite chic.

ModCloth

Maya Embellished Tulle Maxi

Loving almost everything about this dress, except that little back bow. That can just be tied in a nice looking knot instead. Let's talk about that shade of green - it is so unexpected. The sheer back is dreamy, the sleeves cover any problem areas, and the empire waist is also flattering. Best yet, it available for petite, plus sized, average, and maternity.

ASOS

Lulus Perfect Opportunity Gown

Your tribe will want to wear this dress over and over. It's less than $100.

Nordstrom

Diana Dress

Isn't this the most appealing shade of grey? It's soft and sophisticated. Simple styling always wins. Loving the idea of metallic shoes with 

this dress.

Anthropologie

Pleated Maxi Bridesmaid Dress 

Designed by British brand, TFNC, this may just be my favorite of the edit. First of all the color is nude. How wonderful! The details on this gown (on the right) are amazing for the price. A halter style neckline with a sheer mesh covering, embroidered pin dot detail, low cut back and pleated skirt, all add up to a fanciful frock.

ASOS

Marco Dress

Classical with a sexy twist. And isn't the color the prettiest navy? It's called Caspian Sea. But if blue isn't your desire, this style comes in 6 other chic colors.

BHLDN

Maya Embellished Bardot Midaxi 

Standout sequins for a little bridesmaid bling! The ice blue is beautiful on most. Click for a closeup of this lovely layered look.
