Canine Couture: Chic And Cozy Finds For Your Best Friend

Bucket List? How About A Bucket Bag?

I recently received an E-Mail from Shopbop introducing the handbag of the season - The Bucket Bag.  My first thought was "really?" This style has never been a favorite of mine. So it's a new year, and time to step out of my comfort zone. The challenge: to get on this trend instead of bagging it. I'll tell you at the end of the post what I think.

Sophie Anderson Nataly Bucket Bag
I can't resist a fun accessory. Made with colored cotton, it just pops with shout out color!
Matches Fashion

Polo Ralph Lauren Fringed-Drawstring Backpack
The tassels and citron color drew me in. And though I see the merit and convenience of a backpack, i can't see myself rocking that trend.
Ralph Lauren

See by Chloe Vicki Small Bucket With Crossbody Strap
Love this color with grey for Winter!  Best yet, it has been nicely reduced.
6 PM

Suede Bucket Bag
Designed by Free People, the metal bottom makes this bag unique. Also available in black. I think you'll love the price.
Free People

Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag
This is how I would carry a bucket bag - by a short handle. The handle can expand to hang from the shoulder, if you prefer.  I do think that a long shoulder bucket bag gets a little clumsy. Love the gold studded trim.
Barney's New York

Lady Tassel Python Bucket Bag
Of course, I would love this bag - just look at that price tag! It's all about the details with this chic carryall. Those tassels and that circular handle are everything!
Gucci

Monserat De Lucca Serpiente Bag
Metallics are here to stay. This bag comes in silver or gold. It's on sale so maybe you want both.
Shopbop

Steve Madden BGemmaa Bucket Bag
Shopping on a budget? This bag is less than $100 and offers a pretty punch. It's faux but that color combo is fab.
Macy's

Ralph Lauren Ricky Bag
RL'S newest design has all of the luxe bells and whistles.  I think the best detail is the pop of color inside. At this price point, it's for the collectors. 
Ralph Lauren

Loeffler Randall Industry Bucket Bag
I rather like the sporty style of this perforated leather bag. It will play nice with everything you wear this Spring.
Shopbop

My final take on the bucket bag? Well, though not my favorite style, I wouldn't kick that "bucket," if someone gifted me with Gucci's Lady Tassel Bag!  What do you think? Will this style be on your bucket list?

Foodie Friday: Stay Warm With Breakfast In Bed

It's a holiday weekend, and many of you will have a day off on Monday. Why not stay in bed? The last time I had breakfast served in bed, was by the butler at The Lanesborough Hotel in London.  It was a royal experience! Memories of serving "Miss Shop This" breakfast in bed daily.  Many thought it was indulgent, but for me, it was a lovely way to start off anyone's day. 



HERE: 20 Bed Worthy Breakfasts

Scrambled Eggs With Truffles

Wow worthy! What a pretty preparation. Anything with truffles has got to be delicious!

Food Republic

Tiramisu French Toast

To me, French Toast is just the best thing one can make with sliced bread. In this case, it's sliced challah bread. Beyond rich, this recipe is a must try.

Heather Christo

Goat Cheese Spinach Frittata
Every picture tells a story. This one tells three. First I think it might be an ad for Le Creuset Cookware. This egg dish is baked in one of their Mini Cocottes, which comes in several colors.  The original recipe is Martha Stewart's. Click below to see what was changed up.
Dishes and Details

Baked Blueberry Sour Cream Donuts

Almost too pretty to eat. They call for a donut pan which can be found at Sur La Table

Baking A Moment

Fruit Medley With Yoghurt, Honey and Nuts
A beautiful way to start the day. Serve it with a champagne cocktail.

Daily Fix

Eggs En Cocotte, Spinach Puree and Prosciutto Fingers

Could a breakfast look more stylish? These get easier with frozen spinach.

House and Garden UK

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Scones – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
These little pretties are for my sister and little Miss Shop This. Yum!
All Day I Dream About Food

Easy Skillet Cinnamon Rolls With Salted Caramel
Oh did I say it is all topped with pecan cream cheese? I bet these sure beat those rolls that squeeze out of a popping can!
The Wicked Noodle

German Pancake With Lemon And Sugar
Add a bit of drama to the breakfast tray with this lovely dish. A little something different without syrup.
Gourmet Traveller

Banana French Toast with Chocolate And Salted Caramel
It just doesn't get any yummier than this! The bread is brioche, which sounds very interesting.
The Carousel

Burnt Orange, Maple And Candied Walnut Porridge

Made with roasted oranges (don't they sound yummy?) this dish offers a variety of textures and flavors. The best part of the recipe, is that it takes only 15 minutes to make! A little something different.

Butter and Brioche

Potato and Green Garlic Crustless Quiche with Goat Cheese, Gruyère, and Chives {Gluten-Free}
A beautiful egg dish that can adapt to the type of veggies you prefer.
Bon Jon Gourmet

Butterscotch Coffee
This recipe couldn't be easier, with only 5 ingredients. I don't even drink coffee and I would certainly try this.
Taste Of Home

Glazed Apple Fritters
Deep fried and stuffed with sweet cinnamon apples. What a treat!
The Kitchn

Blueberry Buckle Coffee Cake
A cake without frosting to me, is not a cake - unless you want to call it "coffee cake." This recipe is frosted with a deep crumb topping, which does sound delish.
Simply Suzanne's

Cotija Guacamole and Chorizo Eggs Benedict

A recipe that had me at "Chipotle Lime Sauce."  So many great ingredients, this is a triple threat winner!

Half Baked Harvest

Frumple Cakes

If anyone has dined at The Original Pancake House, you are familiar with 49'RS. I believe that this recipe resembles them, but not in presentation. It's my favorite item on the menu, so I know I would love these sweet frumpled crepes!

Confession Of A Cookbook Queen

Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups
The all American breakfast gets an upgrade, and it couldn't be easier.
Martha Stewart

Belgian Waffles with Whipped Lemon Ricotta and Blackberries

Now this is something, I have not tried. Pretty fancy shmancy, right?
The Kitchen Whisperer

Carrot Cake Mini Stacks With Cream Cheese Frosting
One of my all time favorite cakes has got to be Carrot Cake. Turn that recipe into a pancake, and I know that I would love it. These are layered with frosting. OMG!
