Saturdays At Shop This


Powder pink is having a moment this season. I love pairing it with black. So that is our color palette for the day. Also yesterday was National Pet Day, so I couldn't resist the little guy above. Enjoy this weekend wrap up of pretty things, links, sales, and more.


"The 2024 LVMH Prize finalist Niccolo Pasqualetti combines traditional Italian craft with a sleek eclecticism." These pink sequin pieces are fab! See more of her styles at Moda Operandi

Shop my favorite sale of the weekend. Take an EXTRA 50% off Sale stules at Anthropologie. No Code needed. Discount appears in your cart. On my radar: The Saluti Cotton Cocktail Napkin Set for  less than $10. This gorgeous Reclaimed Wood Coffee Table, and Seychelles Game Changer Ankle Boots 

Can't wait to bring out the linen clothing. Reformation's Irene Jacket couldn't be cuter. The length is great, too. Almost like a coat. The checks are really fun.


I have always loved the home decor of designer and artist Hunt Slonem. I first saw his work at Bergdorf Goodman. The bunnies, butterflies, and more would make a haute host gift for Easter.

How Neuroscience Is Shaping The Future of Mood Boosting Scents. Interesting from Goop

April's Juiciest Nail Trend is Korean Jelly Nails, according to Vouge Here's how to get the look.


Kim K. The perfect pink nude color from Charlotte Tilbury. It's my favorite, but it is soldout at many places. Found it at Nordstrom, if you love it, too.

Shopping on a budget? Here's your dress from H & M. It's certainly not silk but looks like it. Pair it with really good shoes and jewelry, and it will be our secret. 

I spent some time at Sephora this week, something I never do. I was testing "radiant concealers." I wanted something to brighten up the under eye area. The only one that has any radiance at all was Charlotte Tilbury's Radiant Concealer. The Color that worked best for me was 4.5. Now on sale.


Tray chic! I just love this tray. So perfect for Girls Night In! See the post right here. Buy the tray here.

Loving J. Crew's Marina Cotton Blend Sweater for $56.50. The length and color choices are great!

15 Recipes For Spring Celebrations


It's been a minute since I have done a recipe roundup. With all of the spring celebrations upon us ~ Easter, Passover, Mother's Day, I think it is time.  Enjoy these 15 celebration worthy recipes.


Cheers to Passover, Easter, and Mother's Day. I am not a martini drinker but this looks and sounds delicious! You can make it with vodka or gin.

Roasted Rack Of Lamb With Basil
 Goat Cheese Sauce
We have made this dish many times, but never with the delicious sounding sauce. I bet it is great on so many entrees!

Vegan Mushroom Wellington
What a fun juicy twist on the classic beef Wellington. Inside you'll find carmelized onions, baby spinach, and mushrooms.

Marinated Goat Cheese Strawberry Crostini
I love serving crostini. It's always so attractive on the serving platter. I have noticed that men really enjoy this type of appetizer. Maybe it's the bread?

Spice Crusted Ham With Brown Sugar Glaze
What a beautiful presentation! This ham is plated cut side down. It's a good idea as it really helps with heat retention, and makes it much easier to carve.

Roasted Potato Galette With Cream Fraiche and Smoked Salmon
I can just hear the oohs and ahhs from the crowd now. Very gourmet and I bet good.

Asparagus Crunch Salad
What a satisfying recipe. It features a tangy lemon dressing, crumbled blue cheese and toasted walnuts. 

Lemon Meringue Tart
Spring on a platter! I have never made a tart, but this is tempting. That meringue has my mouth watering.

Strawberry Cobb Salad
Well this is quite a show stopper! One might say it is dressed to impress. And in this case the dressing is a dairy free Ranch, but you could top it with one of your faves.

Smoky Ham, Cheese & Potato Frittata
This delicious looking dish features smoked gouda, and that's all I really need to know. It also calls for sharp cheddar, smoked ham, baby new potatoes, shallots, and chives. Yum!

Blackberry Salad With Arugula & Basil
Well! Isn't this pretty? It's all topped off with a maple balsamic dressing.
Feasting At Home

Charcuterie Board Flatbread
This is a genius recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to assemble, looks appealing, and is said to be a 5 star crowd pleaser.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mousse Cakes
Oh my! These little cakes are so very pretty.  There's a few steps to this dessert, but the end result looks so celebration worthy.
Love & Olive Oil

Spring Salad With Berries and Bacon
Oh this would be a hit in my household! It's spring in a bowl. The dressing is a sweet strawberry honey vinaigrette. Mmmm!

Coconut Macaroon Sundaes
Seder Sundaes anyone? Actually, these stylish sundaes would be good for any spring celebration, but especially fun for Passover.

Easter Treats For Teen & Tween Girls

 Apologies to those shopping for young boys. But I am a girl mom, and that's what I do best ~select gifts for girls.  This edit features all the things girls love....sprinkles, a mani & a pedi, Taylor, and more.
Moon x Sprinkles Electric Toothbrush
What a sweet treat! It is slumber party perfection and so college coed chic! And if you have two girls, it comes with two brush heads.

Personalized Journals
Use their name or their favorite word. They will love how it looks written in gold script. Priced from $2.17 without personalization, to under $5 with. On sale until May 1st. 

Custom Bead Kit
Choose the Bracelet Kit or the Bag Charm Kit. Hours of fun for girls!

Love Shack Fancy Storage Bin
Consider this floral bin as an Easter Basket. She will just love it for her bedroom or dorm room.

A Set Of 12 Bath Bombs 
What girl doesn't love a scented soak? These are all natural so you don't have to worry about that. They can be mixed and matched to create fun fizzies that smell good enough to eat like: Tropical Fruit Smoothie, Strawberry Shortcake and more. Meant for age 2 - 12, but even I would love them.

Personalized Retro Keychain
For keys to the house, school locker, or to her new ride.  She will love the fanciful tassel and gold personalization.

Tenoverten Nail Toppers
Girls of all ages love a pretty pedi or mani. You'll feel good about gifting these polishes, as they are non toxic. I thought the shimmery toppers were especially fun, but the link takes you to all that they offer at...

Corey Paige Belt Bag
I think that all young girls spend time doodling hearts. So the pattern will be a hit. This can be worn around the waist or the even cooler way ~ crossbody. Best suited for tweens, I think. 

Easter Surprise Bash Egg
Oh what fun! Put it in their basket (teen or tween) or make it the grand prize egg during the hunt. Inside is every kind of delicious treat they can imagine. Best yet, it is 50% right now. Neiman's still has it full price.

Crystal Swiftie Tee Shirt
Aren't all teen and tween girls Swifties? These come in sizes 2T - 12.

Lululemon Everywhere Bag
Ask any teen about Lululemon, and their reaction will be big positive energy. These bags are cool.  I have one in black and gold. The girls wear them with dresses cross body. She will love it. Guaranteed.

Custom Rainbow Beaded Bracelet
Perfect for stacking or wearing solo. Fun for girls of all ages. The right size to place inside a plastic egg.
Mint & Lily
