Trending: Circle Woven Bags Under $150

Circle Woven and Wicker Bags Under $150

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE

Woven and wicker bags began gaining popularity last summer, and the ’70s-inspired trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Whether you decide to go vintage (this one is gorgeous!) or new, there’s a woven bag to suit every style and every budget. One of my favorite shapes of the season is the circle bag. I actually don’t own one yet, and if you’re in the same boat, I rounded up nine of my favorites that come in under $150. This one (not featured above) is a steal, but I’m really drawn to this woven bag. It takes a departure from the other bags of the season by being crafted out of leather, which actually makes it the perfect summer-to-fall transitional bag later this year.

The Edit: Ball Drop Earrings

by 2 Comments

Bauble Bar Criselda Ball Drop Earrings

Who would have thought that Rebecca Ravenel’s oversize bauble earrings would cause such a stir among the fashion crowd with affordable lookalikes popping up everywhere? It probably shouldn’t have come as a surprise, of course, knowing that statement earrings are topping everyone’s must-have jewelry list and lightweight designs are a godsend for keeping our earlobes from drooping in old age! I’ve recently become obsessed with these Bauble Bar beauties — so much so that I keep looking for additional earrings with thread-wrapped baubles for my collection! Below are some of my favorites. (And if you’re already tired of these, it looks like Rebecca Ravenel might just spark a new trend. Look at how gorgeous these wooden earrings are!)

Housewarming Gifts with UncommonGoods

UncommonGoods Housewarming Gifts

I know you’re going to hate me after this comment: I’m looking forward to the holidays.

I know, right?! I kind of hate myself for that, too. There are still hot late-summer days to bask in and crisp fall days to enjoy, plus no one is actually looking forward to winter and snow. But I can’t help it. Now that we’re in our first house, I find myself eager for the holiday season to start so we can celebrate our first Halloween, our first Thanksgiving, and our first Christmas in our home! Since I can’t actually bring myself to shop for holiday decor and gifts just yet, I’m doing the next best thing: shopping for belated housewarming gifts for ourselves! Holiday gifts and housewarming gifts are basically the same thing when you’re shopping for yourself, right?

When UncommonGoods reached out to me earlier this month regarding their gift collections, I went down an entertaining rabbit hole of, well, uncommon gift ideas ranging from personalized presents to thoughtful anniversary ideas. But it wasn’t my first introduction to this unique Brooklyn-based retailer. My adoration of UncommonGoods actually goes back to my teenage years when we received the brand’s catalog in the mail and I spent entirely too long pouring over the interesting gifts and gadgets inside! I’ve always loved that half of what UncommonGoods carries is made my hand, and a majority of the jewelry, home decor, and table-top items are created in the United States. Beyond that, a third of the collection incorporates recycled or upcycled materials, so not only can you find an uncommon gift, you can find one that does an uncommonly impressive amount of good to the environment!

Alright, let’s get back to the goods! I’ve put together a roundup of a few items we would have loved to receive as housewarming gifts when we moved in — and would be more than happy to receive for the holidays this year to make our new home extra cozy!

1. London Poster | 2. Handmade Soap Set | 3. Planters | 4. Pineapple Tumbler | 5. Salt and Pepper Shakers | 6. Bowls | 7. Doormat | 8. Cheese Slicer | 9. Simple Syrup Set | 10. Herb Kit

How to Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Without a Brand Credit Card

How to Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Without a Brand Credit Card

With the onslaught of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts going up, I’m not going to add to the clutter with another roundup of “must-have” items. (Personally, I’m already tired of seeing the same 25 items gracing everyone’s wish lists.) However, I am going to share how you can shop the early-access sale without being a credit card or debit card holder with the brand.

After logging into your Nordstrom account, head to an item you’d like to purchase and click “Confirm Your Card & Add to Bag.” See below.

You will then be prompted to enter the last four digits of your card number, your last name, and your billing ZIP code. Use the following information in these fields:

  • Last Four Digits: 3012
  • Last Name: NORDPRD
  • Billing ZIP Code: 80111

This should allow you to add the item to your bag and continue the check-out process with whatever method of payment you’d prefer. While I can’t promise this will work for everyone, I was able to complete my transaction for this darling dress (it’s so “me,” isn’t it?) and some Smartwool loafer socks (exciting, I know).
