Sorry I’ve been MIA the last couple weeks. Mom life took hold and I have been swamped! We are moving – which is both exciting and sad for me. We have not found a new house yet, but we’re packing and staging our current home while we look. We will be showing it in less than 2 weeks, so life has been a bit hectic as of late! Kids, dogs, packing, cleaning…holy moly!
I’m excited to find a new house with more space for our family, but I am also sad as we close this chapter in our lives. I know I’m being silly, but Gabe was just a baby when we got our house. Sofia has never lived anywhere else. I know we will make our new (future) house into a home – but it is hard to say goodbye to a place we’ve made so many beautiful memories in and love so much. If anyone has any advice on how to move with young children – I would love it! Thanks in advance!
Ok – switching gears! Lets get to the fun stuff and talk about why you should shop the NORDSTROM Anniversary Sale now through August 6!
Being that I love sales, this one in particular was definitely on my radar and is each year. If you had early access – it was amazing! The good news is, they did restock a lot of great items! So even if you missed out on early access, hopefully you still snagged some great stuff! Some of my favorite items from the sale are below. Let me know if you have any questions about the sizing, style, etc. Happy to help my fellow sale lovers out there! xo
Have you seen this sweatshirt? It is so comfy and cute! The inside is super soft and the slit at the neck is perfect (not to mention reinforced so it won’t rip). You can snag this at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale now – and I would recommend getting it before it sells out!
For reference, I’m sporting a size small and it hits a little below the waist. It is not a long sweatshirt, but it is casual fit and very cozy.
I love the fact that it looks great with jeans , workout pants, yoga pants, shorts and more. Being black, I feel like it’s a dressier sweatshirt (if there is such a thing – lol), perfect for running errands in comfort. Clearly I’m a fan.
Now let’s take a look at this Adidas Relaxed Fit Tank, shall we? I have worn this so many times already – and I just got it! This relaxed fit tank is perfect for actually working out – AND – lounging. As I mentioned above, we’re moving, which means lots of packing! Packing with toddlers is hard and I am on the move a lot right now. This tank has been lovely for this process. I’ve also lifted weights and done cardio in it.
Did I mention that it is on sale right now and SO worth it! Honestly – it is a must – and I might have to get a second one given the sale price! For reference, I’m in an XS. If you want it to be roomier – you can definitely size up as it is meant to be a relaxed fit tank.
Leggings!!! Who doesn’t love leggings!?! These Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
are a serious staple in my closet – and have been for a while. I already owned these fantastic leggings – and when I found out they were part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale – I made sure to get another pair!
They are faux leather leggings and look amazing with everything.
I have them in XS and they fit beautifully!
They are high waisted so they don’t create a muffin top, they look dressy enough to wear with a tunic (see floral tunic here), but you can also dress them down and sport cute flats and a more casual top (paired with sweatshirt below)!
I personally love these leggings with a cute plaid shirt like this Treasure & Bond Relaxed Open Back Plaid Shirt
or even a peplum like this Chelsea28 Bell Sleeve Sweater in red
. They are also crazy comfy and easy to chase kids in – BONUS! I had them on for my kids birthday party and they were not only cute – but I was able to jump in the bounce house with them! Ha!
Lastly, this Halogen Studded Stretch Belt.
You guys – it is SO cute! I had iton last night with a sun dress and it was perfect. It is very versatile, the studs are small so the belt works with patterns or solids, and the back is stretchy so it fits beautifully instead of feeling (and looking) restrictive. This will work well on hot days with light weight tunics and dresses, and will continue to be a staple into the fall and winter months with heavier tunics, sweaters, sweater dresses and more. Definitely take a look while it’s still on sale! For reference, I got it in a small/medium.
This Fries Before Guys Sweatshirt
is cute, soft, flattering, and comfortable. It does run a tag small in my opinion, so if you want it roomier, size up. You can see from the photo that it isn’t tight or fitted – but it’s also not an oversized baggy sweatshirt.
I’m only 5’2″ and it isn’t very long on me. I got it in an XS/Small for reference. It’s still on sale (for now) and definitely worth it!
Also in the photo above are these amazing Halogen Corbin Slide Loafers
! They are so cute and very comfortable. I wasn’t 100% sold on these from the photo, but when I got them in the mail and tried them on, I was in LOVE! I’m getting them in the other 2 colors (available in silver and wheat). These can be thrown on with jeans or a tunic dress – so they are very versatile! I hope you can snag these before they are sold out!
This closeup should help you see how pretty these shoes are!
My clutch is by Leith is is currently sold out. I’m in love with it and hope that it’s back in stock soon for post sale folks to snag. That being said, check out this Sole Society Jemma Suede Clutch –
that is still on sale and very similar in style and comes in oxblood which is a perfect fall color!
Another great option that isn’t part of the anniversary sale but is a crazy deal – is this Bp. Tonal Stripe Foldover Clutch –
! It comes in 3 colors black, silver and stone) and is only $25!
This Sole Society ‘Marlena’ Faux Leather Foldover Clutch –
is another very pretty option and is a total steal at regular price! It comes in black and used to come in brown – so keep an eye out for other colors that may be back in stock soon!
Have fun checking out the sale! I hope you are able to snag some great buys that will carry you from hot days to cool! Please comment with any questions – I’m happy to help!
It’s that time of the year when holiday wear and family photos are…
Is anyone else excited about cooler temps so we can pull out cute jeans and…
