Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Best of Boots & Booties
Hello Hello! So has anyone shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I made a few orders, but nothing has shipped yet… I have heard from others about orders being cancelled, so fingers crossed that doesn’t happen to any of us! Overall, I have been pretty happy with my purchase picks so far. I added some new shoes, jeans, cardigans, and a few beauty products. I’ll share more details in a future post once everything arrives!
One section I haven’t purchased from yet is the boots and booties. I do want to get a pair of each, but I decided to try these on in store. My top picks are 5 and 12, and I want to see the color of them in person to be sure it’s what I want. I think the selection of boots and booties in the sale is pretty decent. It includes many basic staple shoes in those staple colors while also mixing in a few trendy prints like python and leopard. For my best boots and booties of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks, I opted to showcase the pairs that have a more timeless look that you can wear for a few years to come. Many of them also have a trendy print or color option too.
I hope you all have a great week! Check back Wednesday for a super chic summer outfit idea. On Friday, I will be back with more Nordstrom Sale picks for the Public Access launch! See you then!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Repeat Favorites
Hello Hello and Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Day!! For some of you, Early Access may have started yesterday depending on your card status. I’m taking a different approach to how I share my Nordstrom Sale Favorites with you this year. I hope you find it useful and more helpful when shopping the sale.
For my first official sale post, I wanted to spotlight some of my favorite purchases from last year that are included in the sale again this year. You will notice it’s lots of those basic items that you can wear over and over again. One of my sale shopping goals this year is to stock up on basics that can restyled throughout the season vs the trendier items. Through my years of shopping the sale, I have found that these are really the best items to go for in the sale.
Basics for me include boots and booties, cardigans, layering tops, and jeans. I also like to pick up cozy loungewear, leggings, workout clothes, and underwear during the sale. These are all items I prefer to buy while they are on sale because this is usually the only time they go on sale in basic color options.
Keep checking the blog for more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts over the next few weeks, and I will also still be sharing outfits for summer to give us all a little sale break each week. Hope your shopping and your Friday goes well!
BASIC CREWNECK TEE – The best for layering or wearing around the house.
DARK WASH JEANS – Love this brand and style!
BLACK TURTLENECK – Great for layering or stand alone with jeans or a skirt.
LONG CARDIGAN – We all know I’m obsessed with long cardigans!
CROPPED LEGGINGS – picked up 2 pairs last year!
MY FAVORITE LOUNGEWEAR CARDIGAN! – ALWAYS SELLS OUT!
I also own the throw blanket by the same brand and LOVE IT!
LONG LEGGINGS – I love them so much that I own two!
SUEDE MINI SKIRT – same brand, different style. Love this for fall and winter, always sells fast! I ended up buying the one pictured full price, because the NSale one sold so quickly. Size up on these!
LEATHER LEGGINGS – I passed on these last year and regretted it! On my wishlist for this year. Super comfy and stretchy!
Button Front Cami Top
Hello Ladies! Hope your week is off to a fabulous start!! Are you ready for the big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this week? Early Access starts on Friday, and I’m hoping to have a post up for ya’ll at the start of the sale at 1130am CT. I’m planning to shop the shoes, jeans, and basics for myself. Let me know in the comments what you are planning to buy this year!
My trip to Breckenridge, Colorado last week was a big success! It was nice to get out of the humidity for a bit. We hiked up a mountain to check out a waterfall, did some horseback riding in Vail, and enjoyed a glass of wine or two outdoors while admiring the mountain views. All the view were so gorgeous, and the weather was sunny and perfect! One day, I will have to brave the cold and venture out during the ski season.
Now let’s talk about this outfit, I have been wanting a button front cami all summer. I picked this one up during the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale earlier this season. It’s currently still on sale too! It’s a great piece to wear stand alone with jeans or shorts and to layer underneath a light jacket or cardigan. I also linked a similar style from Amazon with a bunch of color options. I originally planned on getting a white one because I think it would be great for layering in the fall. When I saw the pink stripe though, I could not resist!
Alright ya’ll, hope the rest of your week goes well, and I will see you guys back here on Friday for the start of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for Nordstrom cardholders!

Blue Floral Maxi Skirt
Hello friends and Happy Monday!! Ok, so I totally wrote this post last week before heading out on my trip. Check back later this week for an update on how my first trip to Colorado went! First fun thing of July is crossed off the list! Now it’s time to start getting ready for the big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It starts in the middle of the day this year on Friday which well I’m not sure how I feel about that. I like being able to wake up early and prep a post for you guys that first day of early access. With it now being in the middle of my work day, I unfortunately will not be able to get that to you until the weekend. But don’t worry, I still have a super fun fashion post planned for Friday! Stay Tuned friends!
Now, let us talk about this gorgeous blue floral maxi skirt! It’s so fun to dress up for date night or dress more boho chic for daytime. I paired this with a black halter bodysuit for a dinner date a few weeks ago. It was the perfect summer Friday night outfit. This skirt moves so beautifully when you walk! For a more daytime brunch look, I pair it with a basic white tank top and layered silver necklaces. I think it will be cute to toss a black sweater over it in the fall and winter too.
For sizing, I ordered an XS mainly for the shorter length. In the waist, I probably would be more comfortable in a small, but the XS still fits just snuggly. The website has exact measurements, so I knew it would be snug when I ordered it, but I really wanted the short length for my height.
Alright ya’ll, I hope you have a great week ahead!
