Gold Sandals for a Weekend at the Beach

Romper: Express / Gold Slides: JustFab
Earrings: Aldo (Only $10)

Last weekend we drove down to Ocean City, Maryland and had the most amazing time! I went with my husband, brother, and my brother’s fiancé. We rented a lovely two bedroom condo using OC Vacations and I would highly recommend them! Our condo was spacious, clean, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The condo was also walking distance to the beach and the community has a nice pool. I just love being at the beach and at the beach is where I feel like I can be the most casual! (Can’t you tell by my crazy beach hair?!) I love this long sleeve dot print romper and it’s such a fun print and color! I also wanted to talk about these amazing gold flats from JustFab. They are the Bea Slide Sandal and they just add a little something to your outfit and just elevates the whole look!

Floral Dress You'll Want to Live in This Summer

Dress: ASOS / Wedges: Old (Similar)
Earrings: Bauble Bar - Sold out (Similar) / Watch: Movado
Purse: Saint Laurent / Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Florals for summer? Sure, they aren’t ground breaking but it’s definitely one trend that I will never get tired of. I wore this dress a few weeks ago for date night and I’d have to say I’m obsessed! ASOS is always my go-to for cute affordable dresses and this one does not disappoint. This floral dress is so chic yet comfortable and I could honestly live in it all summer long. I am looking forward to re-styling this dress a little bit more casual with these slides from JustFab. The best part of this dress? It’s currently on sale for under $25! 

Also, there’s a lot of new things going on, to accepting a new role at my current employer, my brother’s upcoming wedding and the slew of trips we have planned for this Fall - I’d have to say things are quite busy and I’m super excited!

Lastly, have you shopped my #nSale picks yet? The sale ends in 5 days on August 4th! You can find my picks here: NORDSTROM Anniversary Sale 2019.

NORDSTROM Anniversary Sale 2019

It's FINALLY here! Today I am sharing with you all my TOP PICKS from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! There are sooo many good sales this year I can't even hide my excitement! To make things easy for you all I split out my favorite picks in a couple of different categories below. I did pick a ton of basic pieces that you can mix and match! It's honestly the best time of year to stock up on new fall items and wardrobe staples.

The sale includes BRAND NEW fall merchandise and of course wardrobe staples. Keep reading below for details!

What is the Nordstrom Sale?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale also known as the #NSale is one of Nordstrom's biggest sales of the year which goes for a few weeks.

When is the Nordstrom Sale?

Key dates for the #NSale include the following:

Why Shop the Nordstrom Sale?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is literally the BEST sale of the year! The sale has brand new items for the upcoming fall that are marked down! This is the best time to stock up on your sweaters, jeans, boots, shoes, makeup, handbags, etc. Not only can you stock up on your fall items alot of wardrobe staples go on sale as well such as workout gear, jeans, leggings, cardigans, t-shirts, etc.

Unlike other sales where items start at full price and then get marked down, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the opposite. Items start on sale for a selected period of time and then prices will go back up in August. 

To avoid getting overwhelmed I always have a strategy in place when shopping the Nordstrom sale. First I go through my closet to see what I need. Do I need new pair of boots? Leggings? Tanks? Sweaters? After putting together a list of items I need, I then browse the catalog (linked above) to get a sense of what will be going on sale. I jot down brands, styles, and prices so I know which departments to go to first. It's like creating a road map!

Also, the best items tend to sell out fast and first so having a card to shop the sale is KEY. Once you get a card make sure to use your triple point days!

Statement tops are one of the pieces I love to live in during summer because they’re such an easy way to dress up jeans and other casual pieces. Especially when certain pieces seem over the top, a statement top never fails to pull an outfit together. I have a variety of statement tops and most of which are on the affordable side since fashions change so easily from season to season. It also makes getting dressed so much easier as well when you have a few go to pieces!
