Hits + Misses of #NSALE + August Purchases


Sweater (35% off) // V-Neck Sweater (35% off)

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  I thought I would share the hits and misses of the #NSALE (Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) and my August purchases.

THE HITS
This is my favorite staple tee - I have bought it for years!


This camo jacket (that I shared here).

These booties are only $60 - and a pre-fall favorite.

This necklace is a keeper.

THE MISSES
I really wanted to love these boots, but both the color and fit was off.

This sweater was really boxy - and the fit was not flattering.

These boots would have been a keeper if they had run true to size - but they were too small.

I thought this sweatshirt would be perfect - but the cuffs were too tight and the color was wrong.

These booties were cute - but the heel was too high for me.

Announcing My New Style Guide Book + Win $25 Gift Card


Happy Friday!

I am finally announcing my little project - my new summer style guide book!

Let me just say this has been a learning process - as everything is.  I started conceptualizing the idea back in June (well, actually many, many years ago).  To educate myself on selling a book, I read different articles and help guides - and decided to create an e-book that I would sell on Amazon.

I will not go into the details - but after multiple iterations and calls with tech support, the format I wanted to use would not work on an iPhone, and since there are a lot of mobile users - and we love our phones - I didn't think this was the best choice.

So, I have created a format that you can read on both your computer or phone - and download right from this post.

WHAT'S IN THE SUMMER STYLE GUIDE?
• 20 summer "mix and match" outfits
• How to build a stylish and wearable wardrobe
• How to buy less and wear what you have more
• Helpful tips on how to clean your closet

Here is just one of the outfits in the book. There are 19 more inspirational summer looks in the style guide. Also, get all the outfit details in the book.


Some of us have fall style on our mind - but there is still lots of time for summer outfits.  Plus, I have included some layering pieces and jeans, so these outfits will transition perfectly from late summer in to early fall.

DOWNLOAD THE BOOK FOR FREE
I am offering my summer style guide for FREE.
{Click the "Add to Cart" button below to get the book.}

 

Once it is added to your cart - click "Free Checkout".
I will not sell or spam you with email. I promise :)

If you download the book on your iPhone, you will want to click the "share" button at the bottom of the screen, to add to your "Books" or "Files".

You can also download the file on your computer.

WIN $25 GIFT CARD
To thank you, I am offering a $25 gift card to your choice of Nordstrom or Ulta.
WINNER will be announced next Friday - check back to see if you won!

Monday Deals + Endless Apple IMAC Computer Trouble


Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend.

You may remember a few months ago when I mentioned all the trouble I have been having with my Apple iMAC computer - well, I am still going back-and-forth with Apple.  

This computer would make a better door stop than a machine.  It is definitely a "lemon" but Apple will just not give in - without a lot of hassle.  They want to run me through what seem like endless calls, system diagnostic captures, log files, time stamps, along with trips to the store, wiping the machine clean, running updates - with no resolve so far!

The other day it took 2 minutes to just open Chrome (and load a blank page) after start-up.  And, that is not uncommon.  Any application I try to launch has a lot of lag - and any process I do is met with a spinning wheel.  Most days, I usually start-up my machine - while I go make breakfast, so that when I am done making breakfast - my machine is ready to use, and I can read my morning devotionals.

I am really hoping this time that just maybe Apple will take this machine back - refund me my money - and allow me to buy a new machine. I have thought about selling it since Apple has said there is nothing wrong with it - but morally I could not do that to someone.  I have thought about just throwing it away - and just buying a new machine myself - but why should I have to take the loss.

I am very disappointed in Apple.  They have failed in many ways...

Early Fall Camo Jacket Outfit Inspiration + Sale Picks


SHOP THE LOOK
4. Suede Booties // 5. Tee

It's Friday!

This week my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.  Wow, where did the years go?!?  We originally had planned a two-week trip to Europe - but just one day after we booked our flights the pandemic became a real threat - and we canceled our plans. 

This week the Nordstrom Anniversary sale started.  Have you been looking at what other "digital influencers" (or what I still refer to as bloggers) have been trying on and buying at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  One thing I have noticed is that this seems to be a more "neutral" year with more beige, tan, and grey colors.

I have a feeling these booties are going to be a big hit - and the "boot to have".  We will see.

MY DAILY FINDS & DEALS
This cozy thermal top.

This plaid top is on sale for $18.

These leopard jeans are on sale for $16.

These dark grey jeans are on my wish list.

I kind of want to buy this "Sweaty Betty" sweatshirt.

This sweater is on sale for $9.

This vintage sweatshirt is an extra 30% off.

This camo jacket is almost 90% off.

This blazer is classic - and 50% off.

So, hopefully one of these days soon - I'll have something to share - I'll keep you posted!

In other news...

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale launched yesterday for those that have "Iconic" status.  That is not me, but I have added a few things to my "wish list" for when I have access to shop (I just hope things are left when I can shop).  As I mentioned earlier, I will mostly be shopping for basics.

These jeans - I love the wash and the style.

This cute sweatshirt.

These boots - I hope they are available when I can shop.
