The Weekend Guide

November 4, 2016 by jessica 3 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s been entirely too long since I’ve blogged regularly, much less put together “The Weekend Guide” for your perusal. As usual, September and October were two stress-filled months at work that left me with little personal time and the last thing I wanted to do during those fleeting moments was sit in front of a computer! Happily, though, that’s behind me and our little getaway to Kentucky and Tennessee left me refreshed and eager to dive back into the blog.

EAT
Airline food gets a bad rap, but it’s not all terrible. Learn more from an in-flight dining critic who has a surprisingly captivating Instagram feed of his own mile-high dining experiences.

VOTE
Election Day on Nov. 8 is fast approaching! Make sure you’re prepared with the location of your polling place and what will be on your ballot.

STOP
The word fiancé is falling out of vogue with Millennials.

LEARN
Kate Spade’s Cameron Street collection quickly became a huge success when it debuted earlier this year. The brand is focusing on the collection’s popularity this holiday season with more inventory and accessories like interchangeable straps to personalize the handbags. (Personally, the last thing I need is a new purse, but I’ve considered this strap to add a little pep to my black bucket bag. Although, I’ll probably go with this Rebecca Minkoff option instead.)

SWIPE
I’d love to live in a world of cashless transactions and there’s a few countries already on their way to making that a reality.

SIP
With a combination of gin, grapefruit, and maraschino, this 1930s-inspired cocktail is on my must-sip list for the weekend. Cheers!

The Best of the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale

May 25, 2016 by jessica 5 Comments

Nordstrom’s anticipated Half-Yearly Sale is back with up to 40% off select styles through June 5, making it the perfect time to scoop up your spring and summer favorites just as the season kicks off. As you might expect, the selection of home goods has also captured my attention with our house hunt in full swing. (We see another house on Sunday that seems to have potential. Here’s hoping it’s the one! I purchased this doormat for our eventual home.) On the sartorial front, I’m beyond enamored with this clutch. Below, you’ll find my top ten picks in a few additional categories that I’m scouting out for summer:

Sale Alert: Lele Sadoughi for Under $150

March 16, 2016 by jessica 11 Comments

When I received a sale alert yesterday from Lele Sadoughi, I couldn’t help but to purchase the Maraca pendant I’ve had my eye on for a year! (It’s the first piece in the upper, left corner of this collage.) There are over 100 gorgeous gems on sale and many come in at $150 or less, including everything here. You can also receive an additional 15% off (code: LSD15) by signing up for the mailing list! I’m having a bear of a time getting the link to the sale page to work in this post, so just click here to be taken to the retail page and then click the sale tab on top. I can’t wait to see what you pick!

Best of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 16, 2015 by jessica 8 Comments

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.

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:

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