    Weekend Adventure

    Hey friends! I know it’s been a while since I’ve hopped on and just had a chit chat with y’all. I feel so bad, but I’ve honestly been soooo busy. I’ve had non-stop cheer related events like 24/7 since June! This weekend I managed to carve out a little time for some fall activities!

    If you saw my Insta over the weekend, then you know I went to the Pumpkin Patch!

    One of my besties and I went to Tanaka Farms in Irvine, CA. We honestly had such a BLAST even though it’s like 80 degrees here in SoCal. The pricing there isn’t bad, and I got 2 medium sized pumpkins for only $12!

    I bought the cutest shirt from TheTopTees on Etsy just for the Pumpkin Patch. I mean I’ll totally wear the shirt again, but it was perfect for my Sunday Adventure.

    Here is a little bit of info about the Patch. They are open until October 31 and they are open daily from 9am – 6pm. They also have a produce stand where you can purchase seasonal fruits/vegetables that are grown right there on the farm!

    The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially kicks off to the general public today. I know there are a lot of you that have been patiently awaiting this day and it’s FINALLY here!

    Unfortunately, a lot of things have already sold out, but I’ve rounded up a bunch of items that are still available as of this morning. I purchased a ton of the items already (1, 6, 10, 13, and a whole bunch more that will be in a later post).

    Nordstrom-Anniversary-Sale-2018

    If you haven’t already checked out the Anniversary Sale, I highly suggest you go take a look. Run, don’t walk to your computer to take a look! Things are selling out very quickly! Below, I’ve rounded up my top picks from the sale that I think you should take a look at. Happy shopping!

    2018 Nordstrom top picks

    1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16

    SPANX Faux Leather Leggings: SALE: $64.90 After Sale: $98

    Available in both regular (L and XL) and plus sizes (1X-3X). Runs true to size. I wear an XS in these. A slick finish adds extra edge to stretchy faux-leather leggings flattered by a subtle control top.

    CATHY’S CONCEPTS Love Home Set of 4 Marble & Acacia Wood CoastersSALE: $30.90 After Sale: $247

    A beautiful set of four coasters is made from marble and natural acacia wood and engraved with a heartfelt sentiment.

    TORY BURCH 55mm Polarized Aviator Sunglasses: SALE: $146.90 After Sale: $220

    Available only in Silver/black gradient. But keep checking back for the brown pair. Cutout temples and glare-reducing polarized lenses detail this pair of shining metal aviators that are anything but ordinary.

    FREE PEOPLE Saturday Morning CardiganSALE: $98.90 After Sale: $148

    Available in 3 colors:

    Black (XS/S and M/L)

    Ivory (M/L)

    Cedar (XS-XL)

    Green (XS-XL)

    Light blue (XS-XL)

    As with most Free People, this shirt runs big and I would recommend sizing down. Multicolored embroidered trim highlights the ultrawide neckline and cuffs that put a distinctly feminine spin on this traditional workwear style.

    UGG Daelynn Boot: SALE: $124.90 After Sale: $189.95

    Available in 4 colors:

    Black suede (5-11)

    AMERICAN ATELIER Linen Set of 4 Stemless Wine Glasses: SALE: $25.90 After Sale: $40

    Available in both the copper and the gold color. Add an extra festive touch to any occasion with these stemless wine glasses featuring crosshatched metallic bases for a touch of elegant shine.

    BAREFOOT DREAMS CozyChic Light Circle Cardigan: SALE: $76.90 After Sale: 116

    OMG, this sweater sold out this morning already, keep your eye on it though as it may come back. There are other sweaters in this brand on sale right now as well like this one and this one. A lightweight and cozy knit enriches the comfort of long lounge cardigan that looks great around the house or out on errands.

    WAYF Lace-up Ruffle CamiSALE: $38.90 After Sale: $59

    Available in 2 colors: Green Bug (XL and XXL) and Purple Moss (S-XXL) I really wanted this tank, but it sold out of XS before I could grab one.

    Those are my top picks for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. There are tons of other great deals out there and I may have to do some more damage later today (just don’t tell Robert how much I’ve already spent). If you’re hoping to get some great items I would suggest doing it right now because things are selling out very quickly and may not come back in stock.

    XOXO

  • 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!
