Saturdays At Shop This


Let's hear it for the boys that grow into men, and become Dads. "Anyone can become a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad." Enjoy the celebrations, and this weekend wrap up!


Let's start with a little men's fashion with matching women's styles  at Orlebar Brown from their collection with La Double J. It's all so fun and filled with Italian charm.

Eight fabulous Food Storage Solutions from Food52. Love those Mepal Stacking Containers!

How to Find a Functional MD Near You: I love Goop for this kind of information. And I miss my integrative physician in Chicago. Interesting article.


Porch. Patio. Pool. You will find it all on sale at the Serena & Lily Tent Sale. Save up to 50% on all outdoor styles.

Crazy about this $60 dress at H & M. I would wear it for sunbathing and BBQ'S at home. And it is all cotton. Unusual for fast fashion.

For the sports dad: Five Lululemon Shorts worth buying while they are on sale according to GQ

A pop of red is always fun! These shoes also are available in black and yellow at Anthropologie.  Under $175.


Summer Entertaining with Alice Garretti, caterer extraordinaire. She shares her tips and tricks, and even a recipe for Yellow Tomato Gazpacho.


Le Picnic! Le Le Sadoughi's Summer Collection Part 2 promises a good hair day for all with headbands like this floral style and this chocolate dotted Bucket Hat. It is just too too adorable! There is so much to love.

Gray Hair? Bobbi Brown created this eyebrow pencil just for you. It's the Jones Road Gray Brow Pencil. The large pencil size lends itself to creating full, feathery brows in seconds. And it's waterproof! 

My new favorite designer, Ulla Johnson, is having a fabulous sale on the prettiest pieces.

For the meat and potatoes guy. You start with filet. Enough said, right? The Chimichurri sauce is the icing on the cake, I mean steak!

Marinated Cherry Tomatoes With Burrata
Just add some crusty grilled bread for scooping and dipping. Makes a great appetizer.
