Wedding Wednesday: And The Bride Wore Whatever She Wanted

This pretty post is for the woman that has her own sense of self. She doesn't follow the norms, and her style is unique and fashionable. If the last two years of Covid19 taught us anything, it is that the show still can go on,  but perhaps differently. Here's ten ways to express yourself on your wedding day.

Carolina Herrera Strapless Bustier Ruched Silk Gown

This is the gown that gave me the idea for the post. I couldn't love a style any more. Pre-Order now for November delivery.

Moda Operandi

Badgley Mischka Collection Pleated Ruffled Gown

Under $900 and looks every penny of the price.  The chiffon will float down the aisle with elegance.

The Marina
Created entirely by hand in a special silk taffeta, the Marina is a wonderful example of Bohemian beauty. The cutouts are a nod to a major fashion trend this year. It's dramatic and different.

Wedding Wednesday: Clearly Chic Acrylic Details

 

Spring Forward With a Fab Field Jacket

 

 This year, as you make the transition from winter to spring, Vogue suggests that we lean into the Field Jacket as a layering piece. Truth be known, I never considered a field jacket, thinking they are too utilitarian.  This roundup has proven me wrong. I love all 12 styles! It's all about how you style yours.

Utility Field Jacket

Love how this jacket is worn and accessorized. Add some gold jewelry, and your field jacket won't look so utilitarian. Now 40% off.

Banana Republic

Barbour Beadnell Jacket

Made from waxed cotton and lined in plaid cotton for extra warmth. Available in four colors.

Orvis   Nordstrom

Cupro-Blend Utility Jacket

Looks a bit dressed up, doesn't it? Pretty in sand but also available in dusty olive.

Chico's

Polo Ralph Lauren Military Jacket

Report in for the weekend with plenty of details. What a lovely look when paired with white. Love it!

The Yes.  or   Nordstrom

BB Dakota Faux Suede Jacket

Affordable and rather adorable in a springlike tan to go with everything.

Anthropologie

Bacall Denim Field Jacket

If you love the look of a denim jacket, add this style to your wardrobe. It's from The Ralph Lauren Collection, so it it priced accordingly. But it also boasts the most details. Handcrafted in Italy. 

Ralph Lauren or Saks

Not Your Brothers Printed Surplus Jacket

From field to fashion. I am rather loving this look. It's unique, colorful, and washable.

Free People

Ganni Double Twill Jacket

Military gets a modern update. The slight bell sleeves with quilted cuff, stand collar, and gold hardware create a sophisticated and luxe look.

The Ruby Jacket by Velvet
With a classic utilitarian silhouette, the color gives it a feminine vibe. All cotton with zipper and snap details.

Shopbop

Tie Belt Shacket
Here's our bargain buy at less than $60. Made with cotton twill and lined. It is a fab find that looks so much more expensive than it is.

I think that I will be wearing most of my Toms shoes more often here in The Hudson Valley. The sidewalks are a bit uneven and it's hilly. Comfy flats are key. Save from $20 - $35 this weekend on your order. Loving the Brocade style!

Foodie Friday: 13 Green Recipes For St. Patrick's Day & Beyond

 

After my long absence, I thought the easiest way back into your hearts (and inbox) would be through your tummies. Major changes have happened, and the "Shop This" headquarters has relocated to New York! I have always had a New York State of Mind, and now I am actually here. Thanks for your patience. Now let's get cooking, and soon shopping!

Basil Martini

This chic cocktail is for the adventurous martini drinker. Instead of vermouth, it calls for sweet and sour mix and lime juice. Cheers!

Town & Country Magazine

Spicy Turkey Taco Salad with Baja Dressing

Looking for a non boring salad? This is it. " Chipotle chili seasoned turkey taco meat, mixed with fresh greens, black beans, avocado, mango, and a little cheddar cheese too. Topped with tortilla chips for crunch, and finished with a creamy Baja style dressing that’s spicy and cooling." 

Half Baked Harvest

Grilled Asparagus With Balsamic Reduction

In my book, anything reduced is more flavorful. And a balsamic reduction or glaze is always the beginning of something fabulous. This grilled asparagus has been dressed up with balsamic, parmesan, and pine nuts. Just perfect!

The Modern Proper

Charred Poblano Pesto Pasta
Homemade pesto is one of my favorite things. For me, the jar pesto on the shelf is usually way too oily. Pasta, is a beautiful base for this perfect pesto. It's unique and sounds oh so delish!

Salt & Wind

“Gala” Grasshopper Pie

 Flavored with green crème de menthe and white crème de cacao, this is the ultimate after dinner treat. The filing is a no bake mixture of heavy cream, chocolate, and flavorings, The topping is a fluffy and chocolatey whipped cream. Oh just YUM!

Food 52

Pesto Salmon and Italian Veggies in Foil

Salmon with pesto? Oh yes! This dish is easy enough for a weeknight, but attractive enough for company. The author states that the salmon is perfectly prepared.

Cooking Classy

No Churn Mint Chocolate Chip 

Ice Cream

Green Goddess Gazpacho

Here's a show stopping dish that's gorgeous with bright green. It features a velvety texture thanks to a special olive oil. Perfect for sipping and dipping a crunchy bite of bread.

Smoked Salmon, Avocado, And Arugula Salad

Can we ever have too many salad recipes? I think not. I selected this recipe because it is light but filling, and simple and impressive. It's all dressed with a vibrant champagne vinaigrette.

Crispy Prosciutto
I have some Arborio rice just waiting to become risotto. This recipe will be made. It's just perfect for Spring, don't you think?

What Should I Make For....

Jasmine Tea Cake With Matcha Buttercream and Raspberry Cream

How gorgeous is this cake? Interesting enough the cake is made with oil, but there is plenty of butter in that frosting. Who doesn't love a Swiss meringue? Company worthy for sure.
