Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks 2017

Hello friends & happy Saturday! It’s that time of year – the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! If you are a Nordstrom Card Holder, definitely start shopping now before it opens up to the public (things tend to go out of stock!). Over the years, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has always been an early back-to-school shopping outing for my family. It’s such a great time to stock up on pieces for the upcoming season- at an awesome price! Even though I am not going back to school this fall (which is the strangest thing to say out loud), I am especially excited about the sale this year. San Francisco is pretty chilly, and our summer feels like fall most of the time. Most sales tend to be end-of-season, but it’s nice that Nordstrom does their big one right before the season starts. The selection this year is stellar, and I have already ordered a few of the pieces from the sale!

Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite picks from this year’s sale:one. satin ruffle hem romper / two. embroidered crossbody bag  / three. suede mules / four. high neck midi dress / five. spot strappy jumpsuitsuit / six. military jacket / seven. ruffle bell sleeve blouse (ordered this in the black and the blue) / eight. ripped denim jacket / nine. tie front blouse / ten. embroidered chambray shirt / eleven. bell sleeve blouse / twelve. stripe bell sleeve top / thirteen. over the knee boots (just ordered this exact pair!)

The big trends this year definitely seem to be bell sleeves/ruffle sleeves, anything and everything light pink, and booties. I ordered this long sleeve blouse in two colors (which will be perfect for work!) and these amazing, suede over the knee boots. I am so incredibly excited to get them in the mail very soon, and I know will get tons of use out of them all year! Tomorrow I am heading to the Nordstrom store in Palo Alto when my mom gets in town, and I can’t wait to browse the selection in person. This is definitely the time to stock up on basic essentials that you will wear and love all fall!

Let me know what you’ve been eyeing from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Hello & happy Tuesday. I don’t usually blog on Tuesdays, but today is an exciting day because Shopbop is having a HUGE sale right now, which will be open to the general public tomorrow (cue fireworks/confetti/balloons/etc.). Though it’s opening to everyone tomorrow, you can already start shopping the sale today! With the code “EVENT17“, you can get 20% off all orders under $500 or 25% off orders over $500 (both full price and sale pieces!) until Friday. This sale is definitely a great time to stock up on the spring/summer staples you have been eyeing (especially things like neutral sandals, denim shorts/jeans, accessories, and graduation dresses.).

I love Shopbop because they have such a great variety of pieces from a ton of my very favorite brands like Free People and Sam Edelman. I wanted to share a few of my favorite Shopbop pieces that are both in my wardrobe and on my wish-list. I decided to include my favorites- all under $200. If I had to pick just one single piece from Shopbop, it would definitely be this embroidered Free People dress. I own it in blue, and I plan on asking for a second one this April for my bday (torn between the black and the cream). It is available in four gorgeous colors and is so versatile. I wore mine 10+ times this summer, and it is definitely my favorite/most-loved dress in my closet!

Let me know what you have been eyeing from Shopbop lately/what your faves are!

March Wishlist + Recent Purchases

Hello & happy Sunday! It’s raining & gloomy here in Mississippi today, so I thought I’d compile some pieces I’ve had on my radar lately (along with some recent purchases). Brands are starting to release their new spring collections, and it makes me beyond elated. I can’t deny that I am ready for the warm weather and bright colors ahead. I am especially loving all the hues of pink and blue that I’ve been seeing lately.

On my wishlist, I have some basics staples, some pops of color, and a beauty lust in mind. I’ve been quite good about saving money the past few months, so I feel like it’s about time for a mini shopping spree with spring just around the corner (technically 15 days, but hey, who’s counting?). I’ve already purchased a few of these gems, and I’ve discussed each piece below!


Without further ado, friends, here are some pieces on my March wishlist:

1. SKINNY JEANS busted skinny jeans (under $100)| 2. SUNNIES tortoise butterfly sunglasses (under $15) | 3. SUNNIES pale pink cat eye sunglasses (under $15)| 4. MAXI SKIRT pale pink maxi skirt (under $50) | 5. GLOW KIT abh x nicole guerriero glow kit | 6. PRINTED TOP spell & the gypsy printed blouse (currently sold out) | 7.
