Saturdays At Shop This

This week sure went fast. We had a wonderful weekend that had us finally celebrating Christmas with Ms. Shop This and Steve.  Fabulous food, fun and games, and a tour of a heavenly home for sale rounded it all out. This weekend will be chill. Before you get busy, I wanted to share some links that I know you will love.

Make Up To Go: I am in the market for a new cosmetics bag. In the process I found two chic choices. One is high end from Longchamp, and it couldn't be any cuter. It's an expensive option at $85, but if you collect Longchamp bags, you will want this. The other is faux leather, but still chic. It's roomy, has the look of Bottega Veneta. and  is less than $25 at Amazon.

If you have a ski trip in your future, Cynthia Rowley has the very best slope styles!

Stress Relief: The Best Essential Oils For Stress Relief. You might know by now that I love and use essential oils for everything from toothaches to leg cramps. But I haven't used them for stress relief. This article is a beautiful and helpful read.

Tired of looking tired? There may be help on the way via GOOPGENES Lift + Depuff Eye Masks. I like the sound of it. The results are supposedly mind-blowing. Learn all about the test results and benefits on Goop

I found my dress for the wedding of Miss Shop This! It's by Silvia Tcherassi. Off the shoulder, too with stunning sleeves. Now all we need is a date :)

The Met Ball this year celebrates the genius of designer Karl Lagerfeld. His styles are high end and high priced. But his bridge line, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, is more down to earth. They are having a sale this weekend.

These Frances Valentine Boots in Pink Suede are so casually chic, and now marked down by $300. So fun!

Have you shopped HSN yet? You can save $10 on your first order with Code: HSN2023. Here's what I buy there: Beekman 1802  goat milk skincare (always free shipping).  The pricing is fab! I also look for Beauty Sales. Right now you can find Two Face "Better Than Sex Mascara," for only $16.50.  It's worth a look for $10 off.

Remember Friends, Paris is always a good idea! Have a wonderful weekend, wherever you are.
