I love having plenty of disposable dinnerware  on hand for summer entertaining. This Etsy shop stocks the most elegant styles around. I love the Versace-ish plates I ordered. Shipping was free and very fast.

My favorite lip gloss: Sara Happ in Rose Gold. But the Ballet Slip is also pretty in pink. This is good for your lip "stuff." And best of all, it is not sticky at all. Every time I wear it, "Mr. Shop This" notices.

I hope that you have a beautiful weekend with time to stop and smell OR wear the flowers!

Conversation Pieces: Styles That Get You Noticed

They are going to look, you might as well give them something to talk about. This is my motto when dressing. No matter what your look is for the day or night,  pop it with something special - a belt, an off the shoulder top, fringe or feathers, bold earrings....something sparkly. Life is too short to wear something boring!

Ferragamo Jelly Rainbow Flats

 Oh the places these ballet beauties. will take you. I linked you to these last Saturday, In case you missed them, you will find them over the rainbow at 

Bergdorf Goodman

Gaia'a Ark

An iconic bag by now, and this time done in acrylic. The nautical inspired hue is so soft and stylish. Line it with a scarf or not. This bag is a standout for every outfit.

Cult Gaia

 

Fringe Tinsel Jacket

Look and feel like a million bucks with this fun jacket. Pair it with dressy pants or over you LBD.

 Alice + Olivia

Gold and Ruby Fashion Ring

Cocktails anyone? This stunner is not real but it is a conversation starter, at the bar or the dinner table. Mix it with other fine jewelry, and no one will know. You will be remembered, and maybe even called Ruby after wearing it.

Kenneth Jay Lane

Andres Otalora Victoria Belt

A new designer for me, and each piece is unique and wonderful. These belts feature a hyper feminine flair.  Click below to see his exclusive collection.

No matter if you wear a bikini or not, these pieces are perfect for the pool, beach, or sidewalk cafe. A matching set is always a standout.

Natori

Cinq a Sept Khloe Blazer

Now there is nothing very special about a basic blazer, unless it is this one. It's made from crepe in fabric, meaning it really can be worn durning all seasons. I own it in black. I think the hot pink color makes it a standout, and those ruched 3/4 sleeves are fab for the warmer months. A good way to show off a stack of bracelets, too. Available in seven shades. Love it! 

Neiman Marcus Or Saks

Fringed Kaftan
I expected this fun number to be much more expensive. That fringe almost guarantees a good time.

Anthropologie

Hypnotic Kimono

Proof that standout styles do not have to be expensive. It's a perfect lightweight layer that can be tied in front or not. Even the sleeves are adjustable. I would pair it with white or black pants. This one is tempting me.

Lu Goldie Mia Checkers Sunglasses

I always take notice of a woman in oversized sunnies. I think the look is very fashion forward and confidently chic.

I have always enjoyed tying a scarf around my wrist, and have done it often.  This look is for Apple watch wearers. Why not add a pop of color to your fave accessory? These scarf bands are equal parts fashion and function.  Love them, and they are sure to make any activity a good time! Great grad gifts at under $50.

Foodie Friday: 12 Saucy Barbecue Recipes

I come from a long line of barbecuers. My Dad took it very seriously. National Barbecue Day is May 16th, so I wanted you all to be prepared with a recipe or two.  Now let's get saucy!

Barbecued Oysters

The perfect appetizer to eat around the grill. This recipe will elevate any outdoor get together. You will also find an oyster shucker and grill pan at WS.

Williams Sonoma

Brisket With Ancho Chocolate Barbecue Sauce

This recipe isn't the prettiest, but to a meat lover, it is the ultimate barbecue dish. It begins with a meat massage. Click though for more details.

Williams Sonoma

BQ Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado Ranch

Now that I found this recipe, I could stop right here.very happy to have the recipe for the Avocado Ranch dressing! You will be, too.

Half Baked Harvest

Instant Pot Cola Marinated Ribs

Now these ribs are picture perfect! I have never used an Instant Pot, but if one turns out ribs like this, maybe I should. You marinate the meat with only two ingredients - cola and salt!

Instant Pot 

Pineapple Pulled Pork Sandwich

I have been jonesing for one of these, and the pineapple sounds perfect. It will add the sweet to the savory. It's all cooked in the slow cooker along with caramelized onions. YUM!

The Modern Proper

Loaded Barbecue Chicken Salad

To me, the perfect meal is a chopped salad with some kind of protein. Add barbecue sauce, and then a salad becomes a real treat. 
Spoon Fork Bacon

BBQ Sweet Potatoes

I will be making these tonight. I have grilled sweet potatoes before but never with sauce. It's a great idea for a side dish!

The Rustic Foodie

Grilled Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken

 In Foil

An efficient and delicious recipe. Each foil pocket is packed with the perfect amount of meat, pineapple, sauce, and veggies for each person. Looks fab!

The Recipe Critic

Homemade Barbecue Sauce……Just like Sweet Baby Ray’s!

Growing up, a bottle of store bought barbecue sauce never entered our home. My Dad made his own, always. I do too, but I have had Sweet Baby Ray's before and it is good. This recipe is just like it, but without preservatives, meaning better for you.

Half Baked Harvest

Asian Barbecue Salmon

Salmon is so hearty, it stands up well under almost any kind of sauce. The glaze looks incredible!

Carlsbad Cravings

BBQ Chicken Dip

This dip is exactly like buffalo chicken dip but with some caramelized red onions and barbecue sauce and… wait for it… butter roasted chicken.

Enough said?

How Sweet Eats

Grilled BBQ Pork Chops

Isn't this the perfect looking pork chop? These days, a pork chop is almost the only meat I eat. I will be trying this recipe soon.
