It’s that time of year again–the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Let’s do a run down of the important info. I’m going to give you my honest thoughts on how I feel about the sale this year too.

When I first became I home owner I was living solo. Well, my calico cat Millicent was here with me of course but I didn’t have a roommate. There were many things about that that I liked. I think even if you are a chicken like me, it is important to force yourself to live alone for a while in your life. It creates some independence that everyone needs.
During that time, I fully took advantage of being the only person who had a say in things–I manipulated the thermostat however and whenever I wanted. And as a girl who is usually cold, I didn’t hesitate to crank it up to 75 degrees on a regular basis. However, when Ethan and Remi moved in they put a stop to that real quick–and rightfully so haha. We’re currently keeping our house at a much more acceptable temp and we’re saving money in the process.
With that being said, I have learned to bundle up while at home so I am still warm and cozy. My favorite way to do this? With some Ugg slippers from Nordstrom! Last year I got this classic pair and I lived in them. This year, I went for this grey and black pair because they have a back on them and enclose your foot even more. They work perfectly for me because they really are warmer!
I could not recommend this pair more. They still come in at under $100 and they run true to size. I love the black and grey combo because I think it makes them chic and they pair perfectly with black leggings (which I live in) but they also come in a more classic chestnut suede with cream colored shearling if that is more your style. Either way, they will keep your feet toasty and you will want to change into them as soon as you get home and strip out of your work clothes and into your sweats. I cook dinner and lounge in mine and I don’t take them off until right before I get in bed. That way they are right beside my feet as they fit the floor after my alarm clock goes off so I can slip back into them before I even head to brush my teeth!
You all know Nordstrom is always my go-to for online shopping because their fast & free shipping and returns policy is impossible to beat. So, I wanted to round up a few more slipper options that would be perfect for the man in your life and I had Ethan share his picks from the selection Nordys offers. Guys LOVE slippers for the house too so keep these in mind if you have a bday coming up or are ready to get your vday shopping out of the way!
I hope you all are having a good week and enjoying the fact that it’s Friday Eve!

A hard (but very rewarding cycling class), a good bowl of turkey chili and some HBO–last night didn’t shape up to be a bad one at all! I am in full on fall mode.
Which means I have had my eyes peeled for some good neutral sweaters to add to my closet. In my book, there’s nothing better than a good grey sweater! It makes me oh so happy. && this one does not disappoint. It’s basic enough to layer with and has enough detailing to be worn alone. The material is really soft and not itchy at all. Perfect to be worn during the week to work or on the weekends when you just want to be casual & cozy. [wearing a US 4]
&& you all–this scarf… is BACK! It was my very fave last year so I was thrilled to see that it was back in stock. It’s oversized, SOOOO soft, under $50 and comes in great neutral shades. I highly suggest you grab one. You can thank me later! 😉 ps, I have my eye on this one for my next scarf purchase.
Here’s a couple more perrrrfect grey options from Nordstrom:
Ethan and I went to the movies a couple weekends ago. We hadn’t been in ages and now I am already ready to go back. I swear there’s nothing that compares to it in terms of “checking out”. When we sit and watch tv at home we are always multitasking–working on a blog post/writing emails/checking our phones. When we go to the movies we sit and focus only on the movie and the chocolate covered raisins and the wine. (Ok, maybe the last two are specific to only me, but you get the point, ha) The best part? We leave fully relaxed! And the recliners they have now don’t hurt either! So, have you all seen any good ones recently? I need a recommendation. 🙂
Happy hump day!

There’s a million reasons why I am excited that Fall is finally here. We got three different sized white pumpkins yesterday and have them on the island in our kitchen now, so that’s one! && we made our favorite turkey chili on Thursday night, which was so yum. But sweater season being here probably takes the cake!
Ethan and I went to the movies on Friday night and I wore this number [obsessed is an understatement] with black jeans and sneakers and it was super cozy. We saw Home Again and I had a glass of pinot nior. Such a perfect feel good kind of night. And last night we had an engagement party and I wore this sweater in white as a dress with some black over-the-knee boots. It felt so nice to finally have a true Fall weekend!
Those are not the only sweaters I am dyyying over right now. The sweater in these pics is nothing short of amazing in person. I love how simple and basic the cut of it is in comparison to how dramatic and lux the material is. It’s chenille–need I say more?! Definitely my favorite of the season! If you don’t own anything similar then you are seriously missing out so jump on board. Now! 🙂 [wearing a small]
Here is a short clip for you all to watch–we did this mini video this time around because I think it gives you a better view of the sweater. Do you all like this feature added in? If so we can do more! And you can see all our other YouTube videos here. && I would LOVE for you to subscribe to the Weekend Wishing channel! 🙂
You all know Nordstrom is my go-to for sweaters. This one is from there and the price point will shock you. It also comes in two other color ways. Here are a few more of my chenille favorites:
Before I hop off here I have to mention my newest little handbag. I got this in right before we went to Chicago last weekend and have been loving it. It’s such a great mini bag. I love the structure of it and the guitar strap is so on trend. I was so relieved to see that my vlog camera fit inside. Win!
I hope you all are having a fab Sunday. Happy, happy, happy first day of OCTOBER! Yay!
