  • 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – What I Purchased

    2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – What I Purchased

    The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off to Cardholders. I shopped the sale yesterday online and ordered a ton of basics and a few fall/winter items that I feel will be really useful. I don’t live somewhere that gets too cold/wet during the year, so I don’t have a huge need for sweaters and coats.

    Unfortunately, a lot of things have already sold out (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they come back in stock), but I’m going to share what I purchased and I’ll link them in the event that they come back.

    Nordstrom-Anniversary-Sale-2018

    SPANX Distressed Skinny Jeans: SALE: $85.50 After Sale: $128

    Fully stocked right now. Runs true to size. I ordered these in an XS. Controls and shapes problem areas such as tummy, hips, thighs and rear. They are high rise. These are the same brand as my fave faux-leather leggings. These seem to be fully stocked as of this morning!

    CASLON Rounded V-Neck Tee: SALE: $16 After Sale: $25

    I got this tee in the yellow stripe in an XS last year and loved it soo much I had to get it in the black stripe and grey this year. Available in 9 colors this year! These are great basic tees and a staple for my wardrobe. I can wear these all year round. This tee is going super quickly. They cancelled my black and white stipe and the grey one from my pick up in store option. Luckily I was able to order the grey one.

    VINCE CAMUTO Nestel Knee High Boot: SALE: $160 After Sale: $240

    Available in 3 colors and all still fully stocked. Classic, simple and essential for any wardrobe, this easy-to-wear boot features a softly pointed toe and tall shaft with concealed goring behind the knee. I ordered my regular 6.5, but should have gone with a 7.

    CONVERSE Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Sneaker: SALE: $47 After Sale: $70

    I am SUPER bummed about these. I ordered them in my normal converse size (they always seem to run a 1/2 size big, so I size down) and then Nordstrom cancelled my order because they ran out. Now they are going in and out of stock, so far only in larger sizes (9 and up). This is one of the items I’m hoping they restock!

    KATE SPADE Danalyn 54mm Polarized Sunglasses: SALE: $120 After Sale: $180

    I can not wait to get these!! I love my Kate Spade’s I got last year, and I know these will be perfect too. They come in both black and brown, I ordered the black pair.

    MAC Up Close and Personal Lip Kit: SALE: $36.50 After Sale: $54

    A trio of lip colors all packaged together in a special metallic rose-goldstone kit. This comes in the nude color and a pink color; I ordered the nude kit.

    MADEWELL Ryder Stripe Cardigan Sweater: SALE: $65 After Sale: $98

    Unfortunately, this is another item that sold out very quickly! I ordered a Medium and hopefully will be able to exchange it later for my regular size Small. Update – this item was cancelled from my order and is completely SOLD OUT. I hope they restock before the sale opens for everyone on Friday!

    UGG Scuffette II Slipper: SALE: $55 After Sale: $85

    Available in 5 colors, I ordered the Fawn/Brown in a size 6. I LOVE UGGs and ordered a pair of the short boots last year. So this year I had to get the slippers. These are still available in almost every color!

    THE NORTH FACE Magnolia Waterproof Rain Jacket: SALE: $84 After Sale: $120

    I ordered this jacket in the black in a size Small. I like my jackets to fit a little looser. This jacket comes in 4 different colors. Still fully stocked in all colors!

    SPANX Bra-llelujah! Full Coverage Underwire Bra: SALE: $45 After Sale: $68

    I got this in my regular size in the nude. I’ve heard soo many great things about this bra, so I figured I’d give it a shot while it’s on sale. It comes in a nude and a grey color. This item is now only available in the grey and looks like it does not come in A cup.

    DR. SCHOLL’S Leta Slip-On Sneaker: SALE: $60 After Sale: $90

    I have these slip-ons in the grey color and I love them! It’s like walking on clouds. I ordered these in my normal 6.5 in the Brown Suede, but they also come in pink (they’re super cute too). They seem to be pretty well stocked in both colors.

     NIKE 3-Pack No-Show Socks: SALE: $10 Value: $14

    I also ordered the 3 pack of black/white/tan no-show socks. They’re perfect for my slip-on sneakers and low cut booties! They’re a definite basic necessity.

    So there you have it, that’s everything I ordered from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. There are tons of other great deals out there and I may or may not have to do some more damage later (just don’t tell the hubby). If you’re hoping to get some great items I would suggest doing it sooner rather than later because things are selling out very quickly and may not come back in stock.

  • 10 Best Petite Clothing Websites

    10 Best Petite Clothing Websites

    Ok, so where are all my other petite girls at? Being 5’2″ definitely has its perks…things like legroom is never really an issue for me. And if you date the right guy, heel height is not an issue either (luckily for me, the husband is 6’4″…hello 4 inch heels!). But when it comes to reaching things in high places and shopping for clothes, let the panic set in. It seems that us petite gals always get the short end of the stick when it comes to shopping.

    If you’re anything like me, then dresses and skirts tend to be too long, pants bunch at the ankles, and even some shirts will be WAY too long to even do a cute tuck.

    Thankfully I’ve found that some brands have really stepped it up and now offer “short” or “petite” options on many of their items. To make things easier for y’all, I’ve rounded up my top 10 sites to shop from!

    Nordstrom

    This is your one-stop shop for petite-friendly picks from all your favorite brands. Even better, they always offer free shipping and returns! FYI – Nordstrom is also having their Half Yearly Sale right now!

    Abercrombie

    Yes, they now carry “short” lengths for those on-trend denim looks you love. Plus, they offer a “petite” option in their dresses and jumpsuits. I’ve been buying soo much from A&F lately and love that I have the option to buy something without thinking about getting it hemmed! FYI – for a limited time, 50% off throughout the store!

    American Eagle

    I buy almost all of my jeans from AE, so it’s great that I have the option to buy “short” jeggings and jeans! This means that I don’t always have to cuff my jeans when I wear them. FYI – for a limited time, online only, everything is 25-60% off!

    Madewell

    Madewell finally carries petites! J.Crew’s sister brand is ideal for on-trend pieces and basics alike. Although Madewell’s focus is to provide women (and now men!) with great jeans, you’ll also find essentials like tees, blouses, and bags to wear with them.

    Loft

    No more tailoring your entire wardrobe. Loft carries both professional and casual pieces that fit and flatter right off the rack. Whether it’s workday or weekend wear, filling your closet with confidence-boosting clothing makes getting dressed a breeze. I actually love the Loft and it’s my go-to for both work and everyday wear!

    J.Crew

    Best for separates that will last from season to season. I get sooo many of my work clothes from here and can wear them year round. They also always have some kind of sale going on!

    Ann Taylor

    Tired of hemming your pants and jeans? Ann Taylor’s got you covered. For modern essentials with a sophisticated and feminine spin, look no further.

    Gap

    Best for affordable denim that actually fits—no more shopping in the kid’s section. Classic, casual style, and wardrobe basics are GAP’s specialty. Think jeans, t-shirts, LBD’s, and more. They’re also big on sales, so you’re practically guaranteed to get a good deal no matter what.

    Anthropologie

    Best for all the boho dresses and jumpsuits your heart could desire. Anthro specializes in relaxed, breathable fabrics so comfortable you can wear them to dinner and lounge in them later.

    Old Navy

    Best for wardrobe essentials that don’t break the bank. Wear anything from the site and you’ll receive compliments all day, even though you probably spent less than $20.

    Be sure to check out some of these sites this weekend as they will all have a Memorial Day sale going on!
