Crazy that this coat is only $38! I have the exact one that is in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and so can tell you this one is good buy. I mean–when you can get a good coat at the price of a sweater, it’s like why not right? I am loving this and this in the sale right now too. I’m ordering one.. I just can’t decide which yet! They’re both super similar to the one in the snapshot above.

I am just as in love with these boots as I imagined I would be. They are the perfect color–such a good warm neutral! The slit in the back of the top of the leg makes them really comfy to wear (and sit down in) and I think they run true to size.

Confession: I had the cheapest pair of plain black suede OTK boots for the past couple years and I just kept wearing and wearing them because they paired so well with outfits. So it was time for a replacement pair. I love these and I am excited that they are waterproof! They run small though–I would recommend sizing up a half to a whole size.

This jacket–fave purchase! I know I’ll be wearing it so much and I even love how to pairs with white now. I was so, so pleased with the quality of this one when I got it in the mail. It runs true to size. Mine is an xs.
Hunter Boots || Asos Dress || Ray-Ban Sunglasses || Michele Watch
I finally caved and ordered these boots. I have needed rain boots so many times and when I saw this style included in the sale I went for it. Its a little nicer made than several of the other options and they had both navy and black. I went with the black and I think they run true to size. I did size up a half size just because that is what I would normally do when ordering rain boots so they are easy to get on and off and I have room for a thick sock.
Let me know if you all have any other questions about these items! I’ll be happy to answer!
(&& yes, I was absolutely dying while shooting these looks on Saturday. It was only a million degrees and at one point I looked at Ethan and said–“I may pass out”. Haha!)
Yay! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here! The biggest sale is live today [for cardholders] and I have rounded up a few of my very, very favorite items for you all below. I hope this makes your shopping today that much easier. Just remember–things will sell out super fast!
Let me know if you all have any sale requests for me to round up in the next few days!
ITEMS I PURCHASED THIS MORNING:
These boots were the number one thing I knew I wanted to buy from this sale! I was wanting a pair all last year and never pulled the trigger so when I saw them in the catalog I knew I would have to have them. I think I will wear them so much with jeans/leggings and sweaters.
I REALLY wanted these boots at the end of the season last year when we had a trip to NYC scheduled in February. I knew they would be perfect for walking around because they got great reviews online and wait for it… they are WATERPROOF! How great for the winter weather? I didn’t want to spend that kind of money on black boots at that time of year so I ended up passing [and I was regretting it my whole trip] so when I saw them included in the #NSale I jumped on it!
I have been eyeing suede jackets similar to this one for months and I love the color and style of this one. The price is great too!
I’ve considered buying Hunter boots a million times. And I have needed them a million times. So I finally caved in! $70 off!
This sweater seemed so versatile. I’m sure I’ll wear it with boots and jeans or with leggings and tennies and a cap on the weekend. I can even see myself taking it on a trip to lounge with while wearing some slippers!
&& I just couldn’t resist this tee and this tee. I know I’ll be able to wear them sooner than some of my other picks so I’m excited about that!
So as you can see–my strategy is to buy larger pieces that I will get tons and tons of wear out of while things are on sale. I’m sure I will end up snagging some other items as the sale goes on that I will love but these will be my go-to items all Fall and Winter so I know spending the money on them will be worth it!
What are you all buying? Let me know! What a happy Friday Eve, right?
This tank is a lifesaver.
My GiGi New York purse is now on sale even more [40%off].
&& I wish I had another iced latte right now.
That is all. Oh, and happy hump day!
PS–getting pumped about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale that starts tomorrow yet? If you’re not a cardholder, then I recommend applying here today. That way you will have access to the #NSale discounts starting tomorrow! I will try to let you all know what I order ASAP! 🙂
There’s a big sale right around the corner and I wanted to give you all a few deets so you’re ready before the time to shop hits!
WHAT — Nordstrom does an annual anniversary sale this time of year. (You’ll see it referred to as #NSale.) They put out their new items for Fall at a big discounted price! We’re talking Tory Burch handbags, Hunter rain boots, Rag & Bone booties, Kendra Scott jewelry, Michael Kors watches, Tory Burch riding boots & more!
WHY — I know you may be thinking–ok, great but I’ll pass for now since it’s still hot outside and I am not ready to spend money on boots and jeans. I’ll be honest with you, that’s definitely the thought process I had last year and I skipped out on buying anything during the sale. I regretted it too. Seriously. Nordstrom is kind of unique in the way they do this sale.. They offer the new items at first at the lowest price and then the items are restocked later and they go back up to full price. So, by the time I got around to buying the boots I saw people in and totally loved or the new standard pair of distressed denim that I ended up wearing non-stop I had to pay full price. Blah. BUT, lesson learned. I am scoping out some items early this year and going ahead and buying! I know I’ll be happy to have them soon.
WHEN — Early access to the sale is from July 14 – July 21 and the sale is open to the public July 22 – Aug 8. In order to purchase items during the early access dates you will have to be a Nordstrom cardholder. [More about that below!] Just keep in mind that things really will sell out ((fast)) during this sale so if you see an item you want and it is available in your size don’t wait!
HOW — Becoming a Nordstrom cardholder was something I debated on for a while but I finally pulled the trigger on Friday and signed up. You may be on the fence like I was so I’ll give you a little bit of my thought process behind the decision incase that may help. I am always the girl who says “no thank you” to the “would you like to open a fill-in-the-blank card today and save 25% off your purchase” when shopping. Always. I don’t like to have a lot of cards to keep up with and usually the benefits are not great enough [in my eyes] to make me feel otherwise.
However, I shop at Nordstrom a lot (which I am sure you all know by now, ha)! A lot of people ask me why and it is not because I am getting free clothes due to blogging. I love the variety of brands and price points that they offer but that isn’t what draws me in either. Often times I can get the same items at other retailers but I choose to order through Nordstrom because they have a great shipping and returns policy and wonderful customer service. Both are HUGE in my book. I never want to pay extra money for shipping. It seems like such a downfall when I have to and I always feel like I have to spend a lot of time making sure I have everything in my cart that I want to order so I can make it worth my while. With free shipping, if I see an item I like then I order it and I don’t stress if I see another a couple days later and want to order that too. And I LOVE being able to send things back for free. This way if I order two sizes in something then I can send the one that didn’t work back without the hassle of going to the post office and paying to do so. I just pop the pre-paid label back on the box and send it back if I want. (Oh, and if you are like me and can’t exactly locate the label then you can also just log into your account on Nordstrom.com and print a new one easily!)
On to customer service–they are exceptionally great! I just called on Friday and asked for a price adjustment (on these shoes because they are one sale now and I paid full price recently) and they completed it for me so quickly and easily and were super nice about it to boot! Can’t ask for anything better in my eyes!
So I know that was a long rant, but I just want to be honest with you guys. In the end I decided on applying for a card so that I can shop the sale early and so I will be able to earn points on all my future orders. You can apply here if you’re interested. It’s a really fast process and once you are done your info is saved on your account so you’ll be able to shop right away. I was worried about getting my card in the mail in time for the sale since I waited until the last minute, but with this–no worries!
WHERE — I will have a series of posts up once the sale starts but you will be able to shop it all here, so no worries if you don’t have a store close by. Here are sneak peaks at the women and mens catalogs!
I know included quite a bit of info but I am sure I have left out some thoughts here and there so as always please feel free to send any questions you may have my way! Comment here, email me, write on my IG pictures, or send me a snap! 🙂
