Best of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 16, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

Best-Nordstrom-Anniversary-Sale-2015

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

Alright, I’m following the sage advice offered in yesterday’s post and I’m planning to return the Tory Burch purse. As much as I wanted to fall madly in love with it, there was something I just wasn’t sold on. I can’t pinpoint it, but I know there’s a girl out there who is going to wear it more than I ever would. Now, if only I could follow that mature, money-saving advice for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which opens to the public tomorrow. Get your trigger finger ready, ladies, because there are tons of beautiful fall pieces to add to your wardrobes.

My favorite piece from the sale is this bouclé fit-and-flare dress from Theory. Wear it at the end of summer with a pair of loafers (I just snagged these) or layer a pretty silk blouse underneath for cooler days.

For those of you committed to ’70s-inspired trends, try this burnt orange suede a-line mini skirt.

For those who can only afford one thing from the sale, don’t hesitate to buy this DVF clutch. Mine is in a slightly different texture, but it’s one of the most elegant and timeless pieces I own. It also holds a surprising amount–a nice feature in a clutch.

And for those too antsy to wait for tomorrow, buy this gorgeous maxi. I don’t care if you don’t have a place to wear it. You will eventually.

We’re going to Louisville next weekend, a slightly impromptu road trip to celebrate the removal of my Aircast, and my fingers are crossed that this cute sundress arrives in time. I also ordered simple white sneakers to pair with the rest of my summer dresses since I won’t be able to wear sandals for another month. You can’t imagine how difficult it is to find simple white leather sneakers that don’t look too athletic. The athleisure trend was never my thing.

Friday Five Under $55

May 8, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

Find-Under-$55-05082015v2

  • It’s a great time to stock up on J.Crew’s lightweight striped tees for spring. With code SALETREAT, the price is only $27.65.
  • How fun is the color combination on this scarf?! It also comes in pink with orange pom poms and black with turquoise.
  • It’s not always easy to find interesting jewelry at a great price point, but these understated ear jackets are gorgeous. They also come in rose gold.
  • I’m itching for a pair of Soludos espadrilles this summer. Has anyone tried them? Thoughts?
  • A classic faux leather crossbody bag in a wear-with-everything color.

Find-Under-$55-04242015v2

  • A mini skirt ($52) in the most darling retro print.
  • A  pair of vintage-inspired sunglasses ($30). They also come in black.
  • A pineapple catchall bowl ($42). Put this at your entryway to collect keys and loose change. I love that the interior is painted my favorite color. (I managed to snag the Lilly Pulitzer for Target pineapple bowl. Another pineapple wouldn’t be overkill, right?)
  • A metallic woven clutch by Monserat De Lucca ($45).
  • A strappy cami ($39.50). It looks a lot like the Express cami that many people love (I don’t like the fit on me) and the J.Crew one that’s significantly more expensive. (The shorts the model is wearing are also under $55.)
  • Not Pictured: If you’re still yearning for a pair of double pearl earrings, there’s a Kenneth Jay Lane set for $18. Or just follow my lead and buy a pair of eBay for $4.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already managed to blow my budget this month. Thank goodness for a few great deals this weekend:

  • This boho lace top from LOFT comes in at $49.50 and has the prettiest peekaboo eyelet detail around the waist.
  • A perforated tote ($25) in cream is perfect for work this spring.
  • I’m cheating a little bit with this pair of linen crossover shorts from J.Crew. Technically the price is $59.50, but you can snag them for 25% off through April 14 with code SHOPNOW.
  • These drop earrings from Kenneth Jay Lane are stunning. I love the light turquoise blue. (And, of course, they’re sold out now. Try these laid back chandeliers instead.)
  • I tend to shy away from faux leather shoes, but these chic gold slides are worth trying for $13. They also come in rose gold.

TOP TEN

I’ve been pretty sick over the last couple of days (which included a trip to Urgent Care with an asthma attack my inhaler couldn’t handle). It’s been rough, but it has given me a chance to scour the Shopbop website to find the prettiest pieces for summer:

  1. This set of pouches from Furla. Use them to organize your tote bag or use the large one as a clutch.
  2. A flirty DVF romper. There’s no risk of Marilyn Monroe moments in something this practical.
  3. A Rory Beca dress that’s exclusive to Shopbop.
  4. A breezy white dress. This one is from Club Monaco.
  5. Tassel earrings (a classic!) from the one and only Oscar de la Renta.
  6. Soludos espadrilles. I can’t decide between solids or stripes. (They’re also a steal with most styles coming in at under $70.)
  7. Geometric sunglasses. They’re both playful and practical for summer.
  8. A white bucket bag. I can’t get this one from Rebecca Minkoff of my mind. There’s also a dreamy Furla version.
  9. Summery statement earrings.
  10. A beach dress with an irresistible lemon print (another Shopbop exclusive).

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
