Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Instagram }

Autumn came to an abrupt halt in Chicago yesterday, when Mother Nature tricked the city with a blanket of snow. However, Fall is still doing it's best work on Instagram, as seen above in the Zhush feed. Before we all get on with our weekend, here are some links that will save you money, guarantee a good nights sleep, keep you warm and detox your hair!



This season’s hottest cold-weather coats have arrived at Barney's New York.  This chic collection is the coolest way to stay warm. I don't know how much longer they will be open, so find inspiration today. Fabulous!

Nordstrom now features pet accessories! There are over 100 fun finds for your furry friends! Of course, it all ships for free.

Slate States: Here's your next host gift. Slate State platters with chalk. Bring the cheese course, and gift your hostess with the platter. Really nice looking and under $30. Shop them at Sundance Catalog.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Holiday shops are popping up all over the Internet. One of the sweetest is at Maisonette. Find the cutest monogrammed PJ'S,  indulgent inspiration and simple stocking stuffers. I love the fab finds from all around the world. This is not your average kids store.

Settle down and save with down bedding from Pacific Coast. Be thankful for luxurious sleep with 20% off pillows and featherbeds. If you haven't dressed your bed or the guest bed with a featherbed yet, you are missing out. We love ours. It's like sleeping in the clouds. And if you are allergic, they offer down alternatives.

Two Sales at Bloomingdale's: Cashmere! With over 300 styles, save 30% on designs by Bloomingdale's and Aqua Cashmere. AND take 25% off when you buy two or more of select women's shoes. Both deals end 11/03.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
G Tox Himalayan Salt Scrub Shampoo: I thoroughly believe in the wonders of Himalayan Sea Salt. It's pure, natural, and filled with good for you minerals. It seems that doctors don't know about it. So I am not surprised that this shampoo is so good for our hair and scalp. I think I will try it. Read about it at goop.

Oh Honey:  Is anyone else in love with those Beekman Boys? I use their facial wipes and soap daily. But now I am thinking about sweets, namely good for you, honey. This treat is sustainably sourced and made in Upstate New York. The honey is pure and raw, which is the healthiest way to eat it. Think flavors like lavender, lemon cream, ginger, and more.
What a treat!

Light your fire with the cutest matches ever! An adorable host gift.

Line & Dot's Linda Fringe Coat: What a cute coat for under $200.  Shop it at Shopbop. 


This weekend, I wish you eyes to see the beauty of Autumn,  good health, and happiness. Please know how thankful I am for all of you.

Foodie Friday: Thanksgiving Starts Here

With only four more Fridays before Thanksgiving, those of us hosting have some preparing to do. This most important meal of the year, is much less overwhelming if you are organized. So each Friday until Turkey Day, I will be bringing to you recipes for a different component of your meal. Today we begin with starters and cocktails.  My family could begin and end the meal right here. It's just so much fun to stand and graze the appetizer table with a cocktail in hand.  So cheers to Autumn's best holiday. Let's get cooking!



Here: 12 Ways To Start The Festivities
Pumpkin Patch Punch
The hero ingredient in this cocktail is spiced pumpkin butter! Pumpkins are Thanksgiving appropriate so I love it as a house cocktail. Find the Glass Pumpkin at Williams Sonoma and the recipe at....
My Domain


Sweet Potato Crostini With Blue 
Cheese & Honey
We are serious sweet potato fans in my family. I love it when you change up any normal recipe for them, too. This one looks like a hit. It's easy and blends sweet with savory. Which always makes a perfect bite.
Williams Sonoma


Cidertini
The recipe author recommends more bourbon and less cider. I concur. The presentation makes it special.
Man Titlement


Spicy Ranch Chex Mix
I usually don't serve this type of snack, but my Mother sure did, and she made her own, too.  Her recipe did not feature homemade Parmesan Crisps, sesame seeds, chives, or half of these ingredients. Now that I think about it. This looks like the perfect nibble for my bar
 or your bar cart.
Half Baked Harvest


Apple Cider Moscow Mule
Nothing says Fall like Apple Cider. And one thing that gets a party started is a shot of Vodka! This chic cocktail is perfectly accessorized
 for Thanksgiving.
Broma Bakery


Smoked Salmon 7 Layer Dip
Salmon is always a hit at every holiday in my home. Love the grown up take on the classic party dip. Goat cheese is involved. Yum
Bon Appetit


Carrot Tart With Ricotta and
 Almond Filling
What a show stopping appetizer.  The zesty carrot topping adds a nice pop of color and flavor. And oh the ingredients!
Epicurious

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita
I want to drink these all day on Thanksgiving. It's made with all fresh ingredients, without nasty mixes. And that rim? It's cinnamon sugar and flaky sea salt. Make that Himalayan Sea Salt and it will add some marvelous minerals to the mix. 
Half Baked Harvest


Whipped Ricotta With Roasted Pumpkin 
Said to be easy, this recipes has all of the Fall feels. The prep is done before your party, which makes it ever so 
more appealing.
I am A Food Blog


Crab Stuffed Mushrooms With Gouda
Though this recipe does not scream Thanksgiving, anytime you serve a specialty item like crab, it becomes 
holiday worthy. 
Striped Spatula


Fred's Pumpkin Galette With Blue Cheese & Thyme
This looks like all kinds of heaven to me. Your guests will think it's pizza but it is actually so much more.
Gourmet Traveller


Boozy Chai Latte
Now why serve just a cup of Joe when you can serve this with pie? It will warm you up and satisfy your sweet tooth with brown sugar. You choose the liquor of your choice, but the author likes to use Cointreau, which is my fave.

How To Elevate Your Denim


Let's face it, denim is here to stay. It's now a cool take on fashion, even at the most expensive levels.  Unless you are 13, jeans and a tee just isn't a look that you want. But it's easy to elevate the style staple. Just add sequins, a beautiful blouse, a bit of bling, velvet, a blazer or metallic boots. Find your look in this edit.



HERE: 10 Ways To Do It
