I wasn’t going to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but…

July 13, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

The novelty of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has worn off. I was planning to sit this one out entirely, but curiosity got the better of me when I decided to check out the home section … which then turned into browsing every single page of the sale. And I’ll be frank, there’s not much worth buying, especially those Barefoot Dreams cardigans and throws. You’ve spent an entire year in quarantine wearing loungewear. It’s time to stop doing that to yourself.

The sale opens to the public on July 28 and there’s a decent chance my favorites will sell out by then. Which is completely fine, since I don’t actually need any of these things, but it’s still fun to window shop. Here’s what I have my eye on:

  1. My favorite face lotion. It’s a good time to buy any of your skincare or makeup staples since you know you’ll use it anyway.
  2. A set of silicone utensils.
  3. Statement earrings. The black pair is the best.
  4. A bathmat that comes in three colors. (The grey one would work best with our upcoming bathroom remodel.)
  5. Reusable storage bags.
  6. This cult-favorite bra in charcoal.
  7. A striped Turkish towel.
  8. A black dress with a flattering, classic shape.

Wendy Mink has been a sponsor of my blog for a really long time, even before I made the switch over to this new domain. Every gem I’ve received from the company is more stunning than the last and subject to countless compliments from strangers. I’ll admit that I’m incredibly envious of the women who live in New York and are able to attend the Wendy Mink sample sale this weekend. There will be jewelry from current and previous seasons for up to 70% off (and refreshments!).

When:
Friday, November 30: 12 – 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 1: 12 – 7 p.m.

Online:
If you’re miles away like me, you can take 20% off online through Sunday with code the “HOLIDAY” at checkout. Some of the sample items should be online by this weekend. (Although, may I suggest any of the earrings above? I received the amethyst pair this week. They’re an absolute dream and a steal at just $80 with the discount!)

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
