Saturdays At Shop This ~

(Via Megan Hess) 

You may have noticed that I try to make my opening picture on each blog post match the theme of that day. I had a large collection of fabulous images saved on my lovely laptop. Unfortunately, I lost everything on my hard drive this week. UGH! So we begin again. Today's pic is just because.......and I need these shoes for my trip next weekend! Here's a wrap up of my fave finds this week.....

 

With Memorial Day weekend coming, this will be a week of Sale Shopping.  I will start you off with 20% savings at Serena and Lily. Code: HEREWEGO. Ends 5/31

This week I welcomed two new affiliate shops: Fendi, the Italian Fashion House that I have always admired, and Illume Candles . I have long been a fan of these chic candles with delightful aromas! You will be seeing more of these two stylish shops on the blog.

Where to shop at Etsy: Mod Party - If you are planning a party of any kind from Baby Showers, Weddings, to Backyard Barbecues, this shop has over 1,000 fab finds. My favorites are the Pineapple Disposable Cups, Napkins and Stirrers.

Pedi Perfect: Have you discovered Smith & Cult "Nailed" Lacquer? The colors couldn't be better, but best yet, it is made without chemicals. See the stylish shades at Saks Fifth Avenue. Ghost Edit is the perfect nude pink.

Fresh As A Daisy!

This is the blog post that almost didn't happen. My MacBook laptop spent two days in the hospital. The good news, it is back at home and on the mend. For a while, I thought I may have to check myself in, too. Today's inspiration comes from all of May's flowers, especially the daisy. Dolce & Gabbana, Kate Spade, and Oscar de la Renta have declared the demure daisy, the flower of Spring. I like it, too. I think it's the seventies vibe that I am feeling. So step into my secret garden and enjoy!
