Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018




Ok Friends, here’s the rundown on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This is my first time “covering” this sale as a blogger– but trust me when I say its NOT my first rodeo shopping this sale. I have spent many a HOT summer days shopping for my fall clothing– and I know that’s not very appetizing right now– but also i have been HAUNTED by the items that I didn’t but because they sold out before I could make a decision!  And I cried ALL THE TEARS! J/k.. Not really.  You really don’t want to be sorry when you see something that is no longer available — and then you have to pay full price when it gets restocked. Or wait until next year.  🙁


So, Nordstrom has only a couple weeks a year where they offer customers an AWESOME sale– new arrivals included both summer and fall. ITS NEW ARRIVALS. Additionally, this is not just about clothing.  This is home, beauty and kids that they put on sale. It’s enormous and so so amazing. I’m glad you said you wanted a roundup on this because I’m getting HYPED!




Key item to Remember: Cardmembers receive early access beginning July 12




|DATES TO REMEMBER|


Early Access: Thursday, July 12 – Thursday, July 19


Public Event: Friday, July 20 – Sunday, August 5


 


If you don’t have a Nordstrom Card, I would consider getting one, not only do they have a great points and rewards system, but you get a bonus for opening one up, and you will get early access to the sale. Like a WHOLE WEEK ahead of public access.


Regardless of what options you have, be sure to watch me on stories and also get to know the categories on how I have arrange it on the blog— You will be ready to buy when it goes live. I am not kidding, this is a killer sale.




|WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME|


I will really be working hard to create a space you can count for the finds that I will be putting together. I will be selecting items from all the the categories below– and as I continue to browse (as I OFTEN do), I will add them to their respective pages.


All my sale picks will be posted on the shop tab of my blog. See the Screenshot of the Menu as listed below:




 I will be doing my best to get you the best items in each category, I would feel so humbled to be your personal shopper on this event! I will do my best to keep you updated!




White Tank and Bandana


Hi Friends!


I am having a great holiday week and I hope you are as well! Recently I offered a giveaway and in return asked for new ideas for the blog! The winner chosen asked for more casual style, and I thought this look was perfect for this! It’s really super simple, but I added the bandana for a little trendy twist! You probably have so many of these particular items already in your closet. but if you don’t or need to update a few items, I have included a roundup near the bottom of the post of exact and similar items for you to make this look your own!


THE OUTFIT: This is a great look for everyday casual in the hot summer days.  The tank and denim cutoffs are basically a wardrobe staple, but adding the bandana and knotting the front of the tank— gives it a trendy twist! I picked the gladiator sandal just to style it up a bit more!


If you’re new to the bandana style, and you’re not sure how to add it to your daily look- be on the lookout on my stories! I will show you how I style a bandana in my favorite ways!


As always, thank you for stopping by and I can’t wait to see how you try this trend and look for yourself!

Making a Statement Pt. 2


Ok, since we all loved the jewelry part so much, I figure I wouldn’t tease you anymore and move on to another statement item This topic will involve scarves. There are blanket scarves, silk scarves, lightweight scarves, wool scarves the list can go on and on.


I posted recently a really cool pink scarf, I loved it initially for the cozy effect and of

Cozy pink scarf


course the PINK.  In styling it, I kept with the same theme, so I wore it with my everyday longsleeve shirt and jeans. Cozy blankets scarves can be worn with dresses too! You can use a wide belt to hold in place and accent your waist – and you’ll be nice and warm!


In the warmer months, a scarf is another great way to add a pop of color to white denim or romper. The scarf pictured below is a GREAT example, its full of color and it really pops with the white background.  Even if I didn’t pair it with the earrings, I could have my hair in a topknot and GO. (Yay for not washing and drying hair!!) Can’t you just imagine me  at a restaurant at a Mexican resort in that scarf!? I mean… YASSS.

In the workplace, go for a silk scarf, hand it long across your neck or tie it cute when short! Your choice!

Making a Statement Pt. 1


IMG_0925When it comes to personal style, how we decide to make a statement is different for each of us. Some like more subtle, some of us like to make a BIG impact, and sometimes its right in the middle. Honestly that can change day to day, and it all depends so much on how you are feeling right that moment. I just love that personal style gives you the permission to change your mind at a moment’s notice.


Statement pieces are a FUN way of adding to your collection of clothing that you already own. Adding a piece of trendy jewelry or shoe can just change your whole outfit! As far as how to make a statement, that is completely up to you.


In writing this blog post I had so many ideas for ALL THE THINGS.. of course. So I am going to break it down without going overboard on ideas all at one time.

Silver Bib necklace


This will be a series of blog postings covering each item piece. I won’t make you wait too long though.


As far as clothing and accessories are concerned, you can make a statement in a few ways. In my opinion, statement pieces are the “Star of the Show”, so I would not do more than one in a single outfit. My strategy in styling would be to use all your other items you wear in that outfit to be complimentary in color to help it stand out.


The first kind of statement piece is Jewelry. And I’ll show you some examples so you can replicate it at home.




Jewelry


My everyday jewelry tends to be pretty simple, so when I wear it as a statement I feel it makes a big impact. 1-2 pieces is all it takes! I recently posted a couple cool trendy finds for myself and I love them! Pair earrings with a bracelet or cocktail ring. If you don’t like dangle earrings, try a statement post or ear crawler. Keep your “backdrops” of your clothes simple to show it off. Also a work wear dress, t-shirt or tank and cardigan is perfect for a super cool statement necklace, this can be a bib necklace, long necklace with a charm or a Lariat style.


My favorite ready to shop trends are here: Including some of the items pictured.


  






The important thing to remember is that it doesn’t need to be complicated and it should make you feel great about yourself! If it doesn’t, do it!

A Statement Tassel Earring with a white shirt makes them pop!


STYLE TIP: If you are new to statement pieces, start by finding a style you like to wear, such as earrings, and look for an inexpensive option before splurging to go with your favorite outfit.  That way you can decide for yourself if it works for you! My picks are all great options for beginners or  professionals!


And as always, I am here for you. Don’t be afraid to reach out, I would love to hear back about what you find or if you need a little more help! 


Show me how you style it!
