Let's just start with shoes. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

because really, where else would you start?

My best cure ever for morning sickness, was crawling on my knees to get through the crowds to find my size at a 75% off Marc Jacobs Shoe Sale in NYC.  Still one of my finest moments.

ok, back to the shoes.  There are a few that I am super excited about, particularly these above, ironically a sneaker - oh if my former self could hear me now.  But seriously these sneakers sort of changed the course of my shoe wearing.  They are awesome, and the new denim-ish black linen texture they come in is perfect for fall.  and on my list.  (also the timberland boots and hunter rain boots, and for sure boys back to school shoes...and if I didn't already own my Rag & Bone boots, for sure these!)

Here's my tops

sneakers

flats

heels

sandals

boots

Which ones are your faves??

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks: Too hot too last.

Good Morning.

I'm up late and counting down to bring you my very favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks, these are the items that I love the most and perhaps may not last.  

This sale can be overwhelming.  Start with searching by your favorite brands (free people, topshop, rag&bone).  I also like to start with flare denim, or booties to get myself warmed up.

It's very early in the morning so I will keep this short and sweet, many more details to come.

Stay tuned the rest of the week, I am teaming up with Jenn to share all our favorite picks by category and share outfit photos.

Tell me what you think!  What's your sale faves?

sweetest dreams,

Just a quickie.  This easy dress and wedges, add a denim vest for that summer night chill.  Done.  Can we please slow summer down, it's going too fast.  And really when did summer get to be so short in the first place?  Its really only 2 months, not 3.  

dress - Zara.  no longer available

vest - Treasure & Bond, Nordstrom.  similar

shoes - Dolce Vita.  old

bag - Apolis, Queen Anne Frame.

We are just settling into our slow summer and it feels goooooood.  I'm talking like hair-washing maybe once a week.  Hope you all our soaking up every single moment.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Prep

All truth, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

We have just settled into the savory slow moments of summer, taking full advantage of sun-kissed shoulders and open-toe shoes - only to be shocked back into dreaming of luxurious sweaters and fabulous boots and those jeans.  Oh you know the ones.  And those crazy savings.

So in the wake of Nordstrom's once a year not to be missed event, in order to shop wisely, I am using this next week to take inventory of what holes I'd like to fill in my closet, or swap out.  Go through the old, in prep for the new.

And I'm talking Women, Men and Children's.  This is the time when I prepare to buy my boys their school shoes and jeans, and maybe a few fun tees, with my best guest on fall sizing, the best part about Nordstrom is if we get to the fall and I haven't got the size right, any new items that had been sitting patiently for their cooler weather debut, can be returned.

Noteworthy items:

1.  Are you a Nordstrom cardholder?  The best part about this is early access to the sale, beginning July 14, otherwise you wait.  patiently.

2.  I love the Nordstrom Sale for women's shoes, designer jeans, lush sweaters, great basics.   I usually pick up a couple items for the husband.  And like I mentioned earlier - back to school shopping for my boys.

3.  If you have been thinking of investment pieces, keep your eye out.

4.  It's totally worth staying up till midnight and making a late night online shopping event (shipping is free), but if that's not your thing, shopping the morning of is highly-recommended, often the good things sell out (however although never fully confirmed, it seems like those hot items are restocked once the sale opens to the public.)

Here's a sneak peek at this years Sale:  Womens.  Men.

Start prepping and Stay tuned starting July 14th (that's next week!)  for all my picks and outfits from the Nordstrom Sale.

best,
Kirsty
