Bar Cart Chic!

{ Via: Anthropologie }

Drinks anyone? It's #ThirstyThursday!  So bar carts and accessories seem very apropos. Nothing gets a party started faster than rolling out the bar cart. I have always wanted one, but with my own built in bar, there really is no need. Start planning a Spring soiree, and add a little bar cart chic to your space. Cheers!

Hayden Bar Cart

This is glam. Who wouldn't want a cocktail served from this beautiful bar on wheels?

Alchemy Fine Home

Tiered Bar Console

One of my favorites. With three tiers for storage and an open glassware rack, this cart holds everything. The mix of metals and finishes adds extra style

West Elm

Glass Straws

The last(ing) straw. Plastic straws are no longer chic. These will tinkle and clink in your cocktails and they come in the best colors, including clear. A great host gift, too.

Marble Top Brass Bar Coat

How luxe can you get with a built in ice bucket? Perfect for champagne on the go!

"I have a bilevel oval brass bar cart that was my grandmother’s, which I adore. There’s nothing quite like being able to roll an entire mini bar up to where you’re sitting—especially if it’s in bed. "

This Oscar's Take Away Is Shocking - Pink!

{ Created by Moi }

So, did you watch? I never miss The Oscars. Like many, the fashion and Red Carpet is what I like best, but really I enjoy it all. This year the styles did not disappoint. Even the men in their perfectly fitted tuxes and skinny bow ties looked great. I had several take aways from the show, but the one that stood out the most was the number of bright pink styles. Wow! They were unforgettable. This edit features styles that you and I can use in our daily lives this Spring.  You'll find pretty pink picks 

for all budgets.

Charmed Colorblock Pant & Tank

Color blocking seems to be back for Spring. I just love it when it is well done. Both pieces are sold separately. So striking!

Saturdays At Shop This: Hollywood Glam

{ Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos }

With The Oscars top of mind, I just couldn't resist wrapping up the week with some glam links with Oscar vibes. Christian Siriano created one of my favorite gowns last year for Kelly Ripa. This year, I have a feeling there will be a bit of a homage to Karl Lagerfeld, and won't that be fun? There could never be too much Chanel. Enjoy the show, and we'll talk about the fashion next week.

Besides the gowns, I love looking at the shoes the stars wear. Thanks to something called a "Shoe Cam" we get to see them during the Red Carpet part of the show. Neiman Marcus has a glam edit of Clear Shoes. They are all clearly chic, and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one or two at the Oscars.

Have you tried Kate Somerville's skincare yet? She is the skin guru of the stars. I have had the opportunity to visit her clinic years ago. "Miss Shop This" said it was the best facial of her life. You don't have to go to Hollywood to get the star treatment.  Purchase online and receive a complimentary Love Your Skin Trio ($59 value) with any $120+ purchase. No promo 
code required.

Oscars Swag Bag Item: High Five Cannabis Seed Facial Moisturizer. This is an item that pretty much everyone can snap up at Sephora, to capitalize on the celeb-worthy glow.
