Spring Shoe Trend: The Micro Heel

Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Happy Saturday! I am in a Mediterranean mood after coming across the new melamine (outdoor) dinnerware above at WS.  It's lovely. As always, this weekend wrap up offers interesting articles, stylish sales, fab fashion, and more. Please enjoy.

Italian Style: La Double J serves up Milano masterpieces. The Sundowner Dress is new, and I love the look. You will rarely find me wearing a print, but I would wear this. It's really a dress with a removable belt, you know one of those skinny self tie things. And it has matching pants. But in my view, this is how to style this look. Fabulous. 

It's been a while since I brought a yummy recipe to you. This will make up for that. Tap for Strawberry Stuffed French Toast!

Fab Florals: This candle is almost too pretty to light. It's a heavenly host gift at $38. Available in four colors at Terrain

7 Essential Beauty Tips For All Ages. The list includes three tools for applying foundation, depending on the look you want to achieve. Turns out I use all of them.

Have you had time to read the sale post of the week? Find it HERE and add 25% off at COS, a website that offers reasonable prices, good fabrication, and stylish offerings. 

Speaking of sales. I found a grand sale on Dyson hair tools at Nordstrom Rack. I have always wanted the hairdryer. It's priced to buy!

Ulla Johnson's " Cordelia Dress " is a fave find this week. It is not inexpensive, but it looks more than it is. Ulla is becoming more and more one of my favorite designers. Her website will not disappoint.

Breezy Linen: This Madewell Shirt is so delightful with beautifully placed embroidery. Love that it has long sleeves and is under $100. I like it best in white.

Take note: Personalized Note Pads make the best gifts, especially at $17 - $29. I love the scalloped pastel pads at Preppy Jones!
