Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Simon Miller }

It's been a week. I am ready for the weekend. The best part of my last seven days was a long visit with 'Ms. Shop This." It did this mom good.  For my new subscribers, Saturdays at Shop This is a weekend wrap up. I link you up with fashion finds, stylish sales, and interesting articles. You'll like this one.

Folksy and fashionable: La Double J is always fun and different from the rest. I just love this vest. The ribbon in her hair is actually a bejeweled stole.

9 Decor Home Trends To Say Goodbye to in 2025 from Martha Stewart

Loved this article at Vogue! All The Benefits Of Strength Training for Women. I must be better at this.

Cute in Color: I am not a fan of mini dresses, especially for me. But these are so so fun, when paired with color coordinating tights. They are the Albers Knit Mini Dresses

A fun Etsy find for the holidays: The Liberty Santa Sack is monogrammed in Liberty of London fabric, and perfect for gift packaging.

This under $20 hardcover Menu Book from Jacques Pepin is a charming gift for the entertainer in your life. It's also one of Oprah's favorite things.

Sparkly with a chance of comfort. Have you tried Birdies yet? Their styles are all about comfortable construction AND designer details. The Goldfinch has just  the right amount of sparkle for the holidays. Available in several styles.

40% Savings Time at Banana Republic. I look forward to these sales. for "Mr. Shop This." He enjoys their vests, like the Herringbone Quilted Vest. They come in large XXL sizes, too. Then there are the luxury touch tee shirts. They are super soft and wear wonderfully.

Don't miss the Sale of The Year at Serena & Lily. You'll find Pajamas at 40% off, Pillows are 40% off too. Save 30% on Rugs and so much more. Oh! There's Free Shipping, too. Go!

These Wipe Off Placemats are as pretty as they are practical. They come in sets of four and are reversible!

Anthropologie is having a great sale this weekend, where you get an extra 40% off sale styles. On my radar is: The Happy Hour Sweatshirt. It's so much fun. A Leather Bound Eloise Book (what a nice gift for a young girl) and these Black Unscented Pillar Candles.

I hope that you found a beautiful buy in this week's post: Shop The Best Beauty Buys. Add to the mix: 20% off at BareMinerals, Chantecaille: Buy one get One 25% Off. Use Code: SINGLESDAY, Laura Mercier: Save 20% Sitewide. Ends 11/11 and Victoria Beckham Beauty 20% off sitewide. Ends 11/11

Sweatshirt Style: I love a good sweatshirt. Cynthia Rowley's Button Up Sweatshirt hardly looks like one. It's fleece lined and oh so good with the gold buttons!
