THE $35 BODYSUIT YOU NEED TO SNAG NOW

Is it just me, or are there soooo many good sales going on right now?! Revolve is having a big sale that I couldn’t miss. I bought this bodysuit before it went on sale for $35 (don’t you hate that?!) but it’s just still too good pass up!

You girls know I love a good bodysuit, and I love the flare sleeves, the tie front detail and the COLOR of this one! It’s so pretty and such a steal! I couldn’t believe it when I saw it on that deep of a discount.

MY TOP TEN FROM THE #NSALE

 

Alright, who has been shopping the Nordstrom sale this week?! The sale is now open to the public (not just Nordstrom cardholders) and pieces are selling out fast! Today I’m sharing my top ten from the sale, all of which I bought and have been wearing over and over. All of these pieces are still in stock, so if you are thinking about snagging I wouldn’t wait!

MY TOP TEN FROM THE SALE:

  1. Marc Fisher over the knee boots: I bought these last year in black and LOVE them! I have worn them  so much in the past year, that I am still debating on getting the beige pair! They are so comfortable as the heel is a bit thicker and they are one of the only OTK boots that dont slide down my leg.
  2. Topshop tie waist midi dress: This is one of the first pieces I wore out right after purchasing and I love it. It’s always cold here in San Francisco so this dress can work year round. I love the color and it fits so well. Size up as it runs small.
  3. Wacoal no wire contour bra: This is my favorite bra of all time! I had it before the sale and I bought all of the colors. Its the most comfortable bra on the planet! I’d pay any price for this bra, but obviously love that it’s on sale for $40.
  4. Mother high waist ankle bootcut jeans: This was my first pair of Mother jeans and they did not disappoint (esp for the price!) I super into high waist, cropped denim right now and these are perfection.
  5. Chelsea28 layering tee: When I saw this, I loved the rose color. Then I tried it on and loved how soft it is! I bought in black as well and will be wearing quite a bit. Great find for $30!
  6. Kut from the Kloth raw hem ankle flares: I actually just got these in the mail today and they fit so so well! Perfect pair of black denim if you are looking for this style (which is the only style I’m wearing at the moment!)
  7. Moonlight pajamas: If you buy anything from the sale they must be these pjs! They are the absolute best pajamas ever (seriously)! They are so soft and comfortable and you just can’t beat the $40 price tag for both top and bottom. This is a must buy before they sell out.
  8. Barefoot dreams cardigan: If you like to be super cozy at home, this cardigan is for you! Holy softness! It’s the perfect cardigan to lounge around in. I love this brand and all of the soft material they use. Such a good buy!
  9. T3 hairdryer: I’ve had this hairdryer for quite some time now and its by far my favorite. It has some magical powers that makes your hair super soft and gorgeous! Snag now as it’s on sale! I also have their curling iron which I use all the time and love as well.
  10. Rails military jacket: You guys know I’m a sucker for military jackets and this jacket is the cutest! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. I love the Rails brand and their pieces are rarely on sale. Such a cute jacket!

Happy shopping! Hope you all grab some good finds! xo

WHAT I’M BUYING FROM THE #NSALE

Hi friends! If you have an instagram account I’m sure you are aware that the biggest sale of the year is here! The Nordstrom sale is being covered by all of your favorite bloggers, but there are truly so many great finds that I dont want you to miss out on!

I have been a Nordstrom card holder for years and absolutely LOVE this one. BUT, the sale can be super overwhelming, however I’m going to keep is simple for you. Below you will find only what’s in my cart and what I believe are pieces that you cant miss out on. I will not be sharing every single item in hopes to make money. (Yes, I will make a small commission if you purchase from my links) but that’s not my goal. I hope to be a helpful resource for you all, so that you don’t miss out on a GREAT DEAL.

Here are some key dates:

A few tips: Items will sell out FAST! Since Nordstrom offers free returns, I would suggest you over order if you are not sure and always grab a few sizes that you can return later. You can also order online and pick up same day in store! Nordstrom will give you a $10 note for in store pick up!

The checklist/ What I’m on the hunt for:

  • Denim
  • Pajamas and underwear
  • Basic tops and sweaters
  • Shoes
  • Activewear
  • Beauty

So without further ado, below are some items that I’m purchasing this year.

DENIM:

Denim is the very first category I gravitate towards. I never like to pay full price for denim and there are some good finds on sale! I bought 3 pairs of jeans and will either decide to keep all once I grab them in store or return 1 or 2 depending on fit.

I bought this, this and this pair. All soooo cute online! When I went in store there were a lot of skinny jeans, but I’d rather go from the crop that you see below!

 

PAJAMAS & UNDERWEAR:

Every year these pj’s go on sale and every year I snag them! I bought this pants and this shorts set this year again. For both pieces, the price is just too good! They are also SO soft! I also bought this Wacoal wire-free bra which I have in another color and love. I also always snag these Hanky Pankys when on sale!

 

BASIC TOPS & SWEATERS:

Can’t go wrong with basics! I love this color long sleeve and also love these basics beige sweaters. I bought this one which is so so soft and cozy. This off the shoulder is so cute, which I’m debating and I also bought this dress which is on sale for on $35! I also couldn’t pass up this tee for $10, and I bought this jacket last year and still wear often!

 

SHOES:

To be honest with you girls, I was expecting to see a lot of cute booties but I was slightly disappointed in this section. The shoes did not excite me as much as I thought they would. BUT, I bought these in black last year and LOVE them! I might snag in the beige. I also love these sandals and bought these converse.

 

ACTIVEWEAR:

You cannot go wrong with these Zella leggings. I have a few pairs and they are just too good to pass up for the price! I also love this mint pair from Alo.

 

BEAUTY:

Seriously impressed with the beauty selection!! WOW. So many bestsellers on sale. I didn’t buy anything though, because I have all of these items and use them daily, although now that I’m thinking about it I may need a restock! For hair, you cant go wrong with this Caviar trio, the Moroccan Oil Set or the pair of Oribe styling products. I rotate between all of these products daily! Also, this curling iron and hairdryer are the absolute best on the market! They are both my go-to’s!

I bought this GloPRO set last year and I still use it weekly. I absolutely love the way it makes my skin look and feel. I also have these slip pillowcases and they are the best! You also can’t go wrong with this Fresh skincare set– all of the bestsellers from the brand included!

As for makeup, I love these Nars crayons and lip balm duo. My go-to setting spray in a set and my go-to brow product here as well! Also this Charlotte Tillbury set is the BOMB. Pillowtalk is my absolute favorite shade from the brand and you get all 3 in the set!

 

I would have to say the denim and beauty categories are the two I had the most luck with. So many good finds! If you are not a card holder, not to worry! The sale opens to the public July 19th!

I hope you find this helpful!! Happy shopping xo

TWENTY SUMMER BAGS THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK

 

I have been loving all of the fun summer bags out there this season! From straw to rattan to beaded to pops of pom poms, they are a must have for the summer months to complete any look!

Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite summer bags that are all under $100!

OUTFIT DETAILS: TANK / DENIM / SANDALS / RATTAN BAG

Photography by Alexis Extstom

Two of my favorite places to shop for bags are Mango and Amerii.

Mango has so many good finds across the board, but I always gravitate towards their handbag collection. They are also having a huge 50% off sale right now, so be sure to head on over to their site before it ends!

I also absolutely love the bags over at Amerii! They are all beautifully made bags handmade in Bali. Each bag is under $100 and I’ve snagged a few from their rattan collection (pictured above in first image). Amerii is also have a 30% off site sale, using code SUNSHINE30.

Below are my top 20 for under $100! Happy shopping!
