Good morning! I can’t believe we are mid March already. Do you have any fun plans for St. Patrick’s Day? It’s a special day for our family so we will be honoring my dad and enjoying time together. This week’s Saturday Shopping is a fun one. If you have any special events coming up, there are some beautiful dress options.
VARLEY
I love the quality of Varley pieces and this new half zip is so good. Would love to see this with light denim, too.
If you are wanting quality pieces that you can hold onto, this is one of Varley’s best sellers made from their Doublesoft fabric. Wonderful reviews.
SEZANE
The new dresses at Sezane had my jaw on the floor. They are just so pretty. This green color and the cut are both so beautiful.
This beautiful dress has me daydreaming of traveling to Europe. So good.
If you are looking for a special dress for an upcoming graduation or shower, this is beautiful. I love how soft and feminine it is.
NORDSTROM FINDS
I thought this Nordstrom dress had a very similar feel and for half the price.
This pretty sundress comes in four colors and is under $100. Great for spring events.
Classic as it comes. This would be fantastic for Easter. This cut never goes out of style.
Such a pretty dress with sexy little cutouts on the sides.
I am a sucker for a pleated dress and I love this color.
This pleated dress is from Amazon and looks so much more expensive than it is. I will be wearing this on Easter, I think. The best part is that it is under $40! Tan thanks to this.
CLASSIC SUMMER HEEL
These heels now come in ivory and would be so pretty with these dresses. Classic, retro feel that is so good.
ANTHRO BAG
Every time I carry this handbag, someone asks me where it’s from. It’s just a really pretty purse for the warmer months. The white leather has a soft taupe suede like feel on the back and the purse is a fantastic size.
SWIMSUITS
What a pretty swimsuit! Would look amazing with a white skirt coverup. So good and under $35.
This is a tried and true suit.($36) I bought one a few years back and still love it. This print is new and so pretty.
This J.Crew version is a best seller and on sale. It comes in so many colors. Great choice and looks darling with a skirt.
Eek. I am not one to splurge on a swimsuit but this is amazing. As I’ve gotten older I only wear one or two favorites and I am in love with this. Does anyone have it?
These remain my most comfortable and used pair of sunglasses to date. Love these so much.
GORGEOUS GIFT IDEA
I absolutely love this frame. We have a family photo in it and it’s just a really lovely gold. This makes a wonderful gift (comes in a nice box that is easy to wrap). It’s currently on sale and I am ordering two as gifts. Would be lovely to frame a photo and give to a friend or family member. I know a lot of senior moms who would love receiving one of these!
These are four favorites from Amazon. I bought the wreaths 2 1/2 years ago and still love. In fact they are going back up on my doors today.
ORDERED LATELY
I am unusually excited for this honey dispenser to arrive. Lately, I have been so annoyed because I have to turn my honey jar upside down and it takes FOREVER for it to come out. Did you know that’s a good test for real honey . . .because it begins to crystalize and takes longer for it to move. In any event, I was making a marinade the other night and the honey literally wouldn’t come out because it was all the way to the bottom so when I turned it over, it moved at a snail’s pace.
This dispenser allows the honey to settle at the bottom and when you push the button the honey comes out the bottom. It’s the little things in life and I would like to thank whoever invented this. You are saving my lots of frustration.
I also ordered this can opener. We have had our old fashion type for years and years and it’s starting to worry me because it’s leaving sharp pointed bits of metal around the rim instead of cleanly cutting it off. This has 97K amazing reviews! It’s currently marked down so I finally ordered one.
Does anyone else in your home need a new toothbrush? My kids were due and this one is on sale for under $40. Well worth it.
Quick update on these. We have a set of six and they are so pretty we leave them on our open shelves but use them daily. Five star review on these. We love them! They are currently on sale so I am buying another set. I like to use these when we have company.
A WINNING SUITCASE
My husband must have ordered five different roller bags and returned them all. He has had the same one for years and years and literally used it until the wheels fell off (which is a lovely sight in the airport). He was REALLY picky because he loved his and as the saying goes, “They don’t make them like they used to.” But this 20″ carry on won him over and he has used it throughout this year’s travel hockey season.
Why he likes it:
- still big enough (so many are smaller now) while still fitting in the overhead bin
- really roomy inside
- great front pockets
- glides very well
*Not joking when I say he really was picky and bought and returned quite a few. Hope this helps.
EASTER DECOR
I couldn’t resist this tablecloth and plan to use it for Easter brunch. So pretty. Hoping to eat outside but either way, this will be pretty with fresh white tulips.
It thought these bunnies were darling. Something my mom would have loved. They are sweet and not too cumbersome to store away. So cute on an end table or in a bookshelf.
Creating Easer baskets for little ones? This Melissa & Doug bunny is so sweet.
I’ll be sharing more ideas this week, but though this $15 jewelry case was darling for teen girls.
And I like these brain teasers for the boys or girls. I usually put something like this in their stockings, but a fun idea for the Easter basket, too.
CLEAR SKIN
Ladies! My love for these grows daily. The other day my forehead was broken out. I used one of these after cleansing my face and the very next day it was 95% better. I absolutely lovely these clarifying pads. They exfoliate and give you an amazing glow. I am a minimalist when it comes to skincare and this is a non-negotiable for me.
NON TOXIC LAUNDRY DETERGENT
Yesterday was laundry day for me. I did so many loads and each time I took one out of the washer I was thinking about what a great decision it was to switch to a non-toxic clean detergent that works. If anyone in your family has sensitive skin, this a great place to start. So many skin conditions can be made worse by detergents. We have experienced that. Especially if you are using something with a scent.
This detergent is thin (don’t let that scare you) because the thickening agents can be quite toxic. I first tried it with this offer (50 loads free) and have not looked back. I get a monthly delivery of my packet (which you mix with water in the bottle they send with the first order). So easy and I feel really good about using this for for my family. We also use the Truly Free dish soap for our dishwasher and love it. It works beautifully. The best part is that is has a really nice clean scent that is very mild (and toxin free).
If you are looking for more great summers shoes and dresses, there some fun ones in this Saturday Shopping post.
What is on your agenda for the weekend? We are planning to enjoy the last couple days of our spring break. The sun is shining so we are very grateful for beautiful weather. See you back here on Monday.
