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!

I love this chunky v-neck sweater.

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.

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.

This v-neck sweater.

I wanted this tee - but's already sold out! How can that be?!?

These jeans - I love the wash and the style.

This cute sweatshirt.

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

My Top Five: Most Popular Items, Summer Deals + #NSALE Essentials

Favorite Sweatshirt (50% off) // Favorite Tee (On Sale)

It's Friday!

Today I am sharing the most popular items of the week, some great summer finds & deals, and of course, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale essentials.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public at 12:30 EST today.  There are a lot of great items on sale - including basic wardrobe pieces.

FIVE MOST POPULAR ITEMS
This leopard sweatshirt - so cute!

This double bar pendant necklace - great everyday necklace.

This cozy zip up fleece - available in four colors, and under $40.

These staple skinny black jeans - for only $42.

This is one of my favorite cardigans - on sale for an extra 50% off.

MY FIVE DAILY SUMMER FINDS & DEALS
I bought this bikini (top and bottom) for under $25.
(So, here's a funny story about this swimsuit. When I first ordered it, I for some reason, only ordered the top, and didn't order the bottoms.  When I realized it, I ordered the bottoms, but the store kept canceling my order.  I ordered the bottoms five times, and finally, after multiple attempts, I finally got a matching bottom.  It is a cute suit, and I can't wait to wear it on vacation! One thing, it looks a lot more stylish in person - online it kind of looks boring.)

This stunning red maxi dress with a tiered bottom - and only $35.

This leopard tank is only $6.

This lace trimmed leopard cami - on sale!

This cheetah print (also in leopard) wrap dress for only $18!

FIVE #NSALE ESSENTIALS
This is the softest tee - I am buying it again this year.

This "renew + repair" set that reduces wrinkles and makes your face glow.
(Of all the products I tried - this still worked the best and is my favorite.)

This summer/fall staple ankle booties.

These flattering jeans - that are high rise (but not too high) and comfy, and one of my favorites.

This initial necklace - that I love to wear (almost each day) with my sweaters and tees.

You can see more of my #NSALE picks HERE and HERE.

STYLING PINK SWEATER - TWO WAYS

Earlier this week I shared how to style a pink sweater with a white bag and snake flats, earlier I had shared a pink sweater with leopard flats and a black bag.  Just switching out the bag and shoes can create a totally different look.

How to Style Pink Sweater, Snake Flats + White Tote

SHOP THE LOOK

1. Faux Wrap Sweater // 2. Heart Earrings  // 3. Camisole

4. White Tote (50% off - Also HERE 50% off) // 5. Jeans  // 6. Snake Flats

It's Wednesday already.  I hope you are having a great week so far!

This outfit is one that I remixed from a look I styled last fall HERE.  Last fall, I styled the pink sweater with leopard flats and a black bag.  Just swapping out the bag and shoes give a totally different look.  I like both looks, but there is something about the white bag and the snake flats that I really like.  I have always loved snake print - and I am so happy it is back.

This classic white linen dress with a tie waist is an additional 50% off.

2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Picks + Most Popular Items

Happy Friday!

I hope you have all had a wonderful week!

Early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today for all cardholders.  I've rounded up a few of my favorites from each category below.  Have fun shopping and browsing!  I know some have mentioned that since you live where it is "hot" - it is not as fun to shop the sale, but this year, I have found a lot of more items for those in the warmer climates.

And, I've also found some great basics that everyone can use - like this bra.  I don't typically talk about undergarments, but I recently tried this bra - and it is super comfy, lightweight and has pretty lace on the back - and it is on sale. It usually does not go on sale - so this is a great deal!  I also love my "shaper" shorts - that I wear under dresses.  They smooth everything out - and make me feel more confident.  I have them in both nude and black.  They are also a great deal - as part of the #NSALE.

And, if you are not shopping the sale, I have still rounded up this week's most popular items at the end of the post.

MY FAVORITE #NSALE BASICS

This tee that is the softest - and a favorite of mine.

My favorite "go to" flattering jeans.

This classic soft and cozy sweater for under $50 - and comes in a lot of color choices.

This fun cuffed sleeve sweater.

I have a feeling this striped tee will sell out.

MY FAVORITE #NSALE BEAUTY

My favorite lip gloss - comes in set of four - for an amazing price!

This shampoo and conditioner set smells great - and leaves your hair so smooth.

2.  My husband has this polo in a couple of colors - and it is perfect for work or casual.

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are having a great week so far.  I am rounding up some great summer sales. 

Also, this week starts the early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale #NSALE.  This is a great time to stock up on new fall items - for a sale price.  I have a lot of great memories shopping the sale with my mom.  It has been a yearly tradition for us!  I remember years ago - before all the hype of online shopping and style bloggers, I used to get the catalog in the mail - and mark the items I wanted to buy.  Then, I would look forward to when they would be available to buy.  The sale has become HUGE and so hyped-up - it's a mega event!  In some ways, it has lost its appeal and excitement for me.  I still plan to shop the sale - and share my picks with you starting tomorrow, Thursday - but this year I am going to take a step back and shop a little less.  I plan to buy only a few things - and mostly my staple items.

MY FINDS & DEALS

This leopard tie front tee is on sale for $15.

This hoodie is so soft!

I bought this wardrobe staple tank for $11.

This comfy summer dress - for an extra 40% off the sale price.

This classic linen pocket tee is only $15!

I bought this skirt on sale!

#NSALE Long Cardigan + Snake Pumps Outfit

SHOP THE LOOK

1. Long Cardigan // 2. Necklace // 3. V-Neck Tee // 4. Bag

5. Jeans // 6. Snake Print Pumps // 7. Lipstick (Trio Set)

Are you ever out of words to share?  I am at a loss of words.  I can't think of something informative or clever or helpful to share...

I could mention that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public tomorrow - but I am guessing that everyone knows that - and for those that have been waiting for the public sale - I hope a lot of popular items - like this striped sweater and this really cozy shearling jacket for only $60 - that sold out almost instantly are back in stock!

(And, if I am being totally honest - somehow I got mixed up on my days - and put this whole #NSALE look together for today - thinking the sale went public today!)

 I will say though that snake pumps are probably my second favorite shoe after my leopard pumps.  I love how chic and trendy snake print is and how well it pairs with something as simple as a black tee and cardigan. It just adds that finishing touch to a look.

The Nordstrom Annivesary Sale is the perfect time to buy for fall - and here are six different fall outfit ideas - with items from #NSALE.  I think the moto jacket one may be my favorite - or maybe the leopard coat one.  It is not surprising the leather jacket is my favorite - somehow over the last several years, I have collected over 15 leather jackets.  And, that does not include the two leather jackets that are currently be used for as "fit" samples for my clothing design.  (And, if you are wondering - I am on to my third (and hopefully final) prototype, and I should have something this late fall, early winter!  You do not know how excited I am - it has taken sooooooooo much longer than expected!!!

OTHER FINDS & DEALS FOR FALL 

I have been so focused on everything #NSALE that I have kind of forgotten that other new items have been arriving at the stores for fall.  Like these things...

1. These leopard booties (that also come in burgundy and other colors).

2. These brocade booties - that I think are going to be really popular. 

3. This comfy textured cardigan that is under $60 (and NOT sold out!).

4.  These brocade slides (and these snake print) slides.

5. This textured comfy sweatshirt sweater that comes in this chili pepper color, and blush, too.

6. This black and white plaid shirt that is only $18 and reminds me of the sold out NSALE one.
