DAILY STYLE FINDER.

 I have always wanted an easy way to search the latest style bloggers posts - and sort by different products and trends. This site allows you to search for specific products or trends, and by specific bloggers.  And, this is just a beginning -- I have more in the works - stay tuned!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do."

- Henry Ford
 

This quote sums up how I feel about sharing my new site - I have been working on it (and thinking about if for years).  I kept thinking I couldn't share it until it was "perfect" and a big fear is that people will not like it - or will not find it as useful as I do.  But, I can't find this out until I share it - so that is why I am sharing it.  I want to get feedback and know what you think.   So, here it is - in its initial state - in the works - but I did it!

Thanks so much for reading and following along!

Happy 4th of July

Hope you have a Happy 4th of July!!!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"Are you feeling the weight of anxiety or anger? Look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). And remember the promise of 2 Corinthians 6:2: “Now is the day of salvation”. The day you trust in Christ is the day He delivers you from fear and bondage."

Nordstrom Sale is Coming...

NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE (early picks)

Sunglasses: Wildfox // Initial Necklace: Agento Vivo // Leopard Pumps: Sam Edelman

Shoulder Bag: Ivanka Trump // Faux Fur Jacket: Steve Madden // Wrap Coat: Steve Madden

Parker: DKNY // Boots: Hunter // Boots: Frye

One of my favorite times of year is the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.  It is one time Nordstrom marks down new items up to 40%.  Plus, it is all the new fall arrivals, which is my favorite season for clothes.  I have included a few picks on my list above.  At the top of my list is the wrap coat and parka.  If you have been wanting a pair of Hunter boots - now is the time to pick them up.  My prediction is that they will sell out quickly, since they are marked down significantly, so act fast.

The sale starts on July 17 to the public, but if you want early access starting next Thursday, July 9, I recommend getting a Nordstrom card. I broke down last year and got one. I wanted to shop the sale early before items were sold out. A side note: my husband wanted to get a $100 off a sport coat he bought this past spring, in addition to its already $200 off for price matching, so we ended up with another Nordstrom card.  So, now our household has two Nordstrom cards - double the trouble...

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"When you begin with the finish line in mind, you miss all the fun stuff along the way. The better approach is to tweak and grow, tweak and grow."

- #GIRLBOSS

Along the lines of my goals from yesterday, this is becoming my motto for something I have in the works, and plan to share in the next couple of days.  I keep thinking I need to get everything the way I want it to work - instead, I just need to share it and make the tweaks later.  Stay tuned...

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined."
-  Getting Things Done

I am not sure if it is my perfectionistic nature or just lack of really defining goals - but when it comes to personal things I want to accomplish - like this blog - and other business ideas, I feel like I lack any sort of organization or plan to accomplish them.  I have not written down exact goals - I have ideas floating around in my head of what I want/plan to do.  But mostly, everything floats around with unknowns - making me a little unorganized and unproductive.  So, today, I am making it a goal - to set obtainable goals - even for the smallest of tasks.
