    Best Activewear Buys of the NSale

    So I may have gotten a little side tracked and forgot about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Although, when I say I forgot, it doesn’t mean that I forget to shop it…oh no, I spent more than my fair share last week. We all know that the Nordstrom Sale is basically the biggest sale of the year. It’s Christmas in July and contains tons of great buys for the fall season! You can gain early access through either the Nordstrom credit card. I have the Nordstrom Debit Card (they no longer have this) which is great since it comes right out of my checking account! You can apply for a card here and get early access plus a $40 note to spend at the sale.

    Below I’ve linked some of my favorite activewear items that are still in stock for the sale!

  • Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: All the details you need to know

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: All the details you need to know

    You guys!! Guess what is right around the corner…as in starts tomorrow!?

    The 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary  Sale early access starts tomorrow!

    Nordstrom 4

    I already took a look at the catalog and boy does this years sale look like it’s going to be a good one! Here’s everything you need to know about shopping the sale:

    WHEN DOES THE 2018 NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE BEGIN?

    Nordstrom 1

    Make sure you’re watching these dates!

    July 11 | Level 4 Nordstrom Cardholders can shop Early Access in-store

    July 12-19 | Early Access shopping opens to all Nordstrom Cardholder levels

    July 20-August 5 | Anniversary Sale opens to the public

    August 6 | Sale prices go back up to full-price

    WHY ALL THE HYPE?

    Nordstrom 2

    1. It only happens once a year during the summer right as fall & winter styles start hitting stores.
    2. It’s an opportunity to shop for NEW fall & winter items or splurge on something designer at significantly lower prices. (FYI everything goes back to full price when the sale ends)
    3. It’s not just women’s clothing. It’s ALL departments will have a sale including men’s, shoes, handbags, beauty, athletic, home and kids.
    4. The selection is HUGE. There are thousands of items (some that never, ever go on sale). There are so many brand favorites like Free People, Sam Edelman, Tory Burch, and so many more!

    WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SALE?

    More like what isn’t included in the sale? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview catalog has a small preview of exact items that will be included, however there will be so many more that we won’t get to see until the sale goes live.

    TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

    1. Sign up for a Nordstrom Credit or Debit Card. There’s no annual fee and when you sign up, you’ll get a $20 Note (free Nordstrom money). When you use either card, there are some great benefits including earning 2 points per dollar spent at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club, plus 24/7 access to Nordstrom customer service.
    2. SHOP THE SALE EARLY! The most popular items tend to sell out and may not be restocked. I made the mistake last year of not making my purchases soon enough and some of the stuff I wanted was already gone. I learned that you can always return what you don’t like or the size that doesn’t fit. Remember: Nordstrom always has free shipping AND free returns.

    So does that sound like a good sale or what? Make sure you stay tuned because I plan on posting a sale shopping guide & a haul of everything I end up purchasing!

  • Last Minute 4th of July Swimsuits

    Last Minute 4th of July Swimsuits

    Happy almost 4th of July you guys! I know it’s been forever since I last posted, but I just wanted to jump on real quick talk about some super cute, last minute 4th of July swimsuit ideas.

    Currently Target has a ton of really cute bathing suits and you can SAVE 20% on each piece with code JULY4.

    One Pieces

    bs 6

    Ok, can we just talk about how patriotic this one piece is! You could totally wear this as a bodysuit and pair it with a cute pair of high rise shorts like these! You can find this suit available in every size online and you can check your local Target online! This suit is $29.99 plus your 20% off. If you use your Target Credit/Debit card you can save an additional 5% off your purchase.

    bs 4

    This suit just screams 4th of July!! It even says FIRECRACKER across the chest! The back is so cute with a low scoop. You could also pair this with a pair of high waisted shorts for an all day look. Like the suit above, this one is $29.99 plus 20% off.

    Two Pieces

    bs 1

    This 2 piece is super cute, each piece is $14.99 plus 20% and if you use your Target Debit card, then it’s even cheaper! Both pieces are still fully stocked and you may even be able to order online and pickup in store!

    Top Bottom

    bs 3

    This tie front top is really cute and matches the bottoms really well. You could also wear a pair of solid bottoms with this top. Both the top and the bottom are $14.99 each plus 20% off. They are both fully stocked so make sure to check your local Target!

    Top Bottom

    bs 7

    This is the suit I’m wearing tomorrow! I saw it a while back and thought it was sooo cute! I like it because the bottoms aren’t too cheeky which makes this suit family friendly! Both top and bottom are fully stocked online so be sure to check it out!

    Top Bottom

    bs 5

    This white two piece has just the right amount of red and blue to make this bikini an all summer long piece! You could pair this with either a solid color top or bottom and it would still look great! Both pieces are fully stocked still!

    Top Bottom

    I hope you guys all have a wonderful and safe 4th of July! I know the husband and I will have some fun tomorrow, but not too much because I have to work Thursday morning. Let me know in the comments if any of you are doing anything fun for the holiday!

    XOXO
