This Season's Best Striped Wrap Dress

Striped Wrap Dress: Express / Greece Sandals: Steve Madden
 Watch: Movado / Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)
Earrings: Bauble Bar / Handbag: Tory Burch

I have to admit I am LOVING all the trends this summer! On today's blog post I am focusing on another one of my favorite trends which is the striped wrap dress. What I love about wrap dresses are that they are universally flattering and come in so many stylish patterns! This dress shape fits and flatters every single body type!

This striped wrap dress from Express has to be one of my favorite picks as far as this trend goes. Between the cinched waist and the wrap style, it all gives the illusion of a defined waist. You can adjust the waist to be as tight or loose as you want. I really can't speak more highly of this little number. This striped waist dress is currently on sale for less than $50! It's such an amazing and versatile dress to pack for a vacation or wear to an event! Plus, the mustard color on the dress is beautiful and is perfect from transitioning from summer to fall!

Product Review: Londontown Lakur Nail Polish

One amazing brand that I've learned about recently is Londontown.  The Londontown brand began in a small flower garden in Radlett, England. It was created in search of a safe and effective way to restore nail damage. Londontown is 9-free, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free. The term 9-free means is that the polishes are free of 9 potentially harmful chemicals: formaldehyde, camphor, toluene, DBP (dibutyl pthalate and phthalates), formaldehyde resin, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, parabens, and lead. One of the things that I love about this brand is that it contains enriched botanical and mineral oils to simultaneously restore and beautify hands.

I received the opportunity to test out three fabulous colors, a top coat, and ridge filler:

Mauve Over
Trolley Away
Royal Wedding
Top Coat
Ridge Filler

The nail polish color that is my favorite out of the three is Trolley Away (the purple color that I am pictured wearing). The formula is also surprisingly creamy.  Londontown nail polish is so easy to apply and the nail polish dries super quick which is so important to me because I hate sitting around waiting for nail polish to dry! The nail polish becomes long lasting by using the Top Coat.

Overall, I was able to wear the nail polish for about a week (usually my manicure will only last me 2 days before they start chipping). I was very pleased and surprised with the quality of the products and I will definitely be recommending this nail polish!

Thank you to Londontown for sponsoring this post

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 Details

I can't believe the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here! This has got to be one of my favorite times of the year for being a blogger because I get to share with all of you items that are new and on sale for a limited amount of time! 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:

July 11 - Level 4 Cardholders get to pre-shop the sale in stores

July 12 - Early Access Sale starts for all Nordstrom cardholders. Cardholders definitely get the best picks so if you don't have a Nordstrom card you can Sign up here! 

July 20 - The Nordstrom sale opens to everyone

August 5 - Last day of the sale!

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, the 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. 

You can view the current catalog here for some of the pieces that will be going on sale: Women's Catalog and Men's Catalog

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 (which you can sign up HERE). Once you get a card make sure to use your triple point days!
