the best sale of the year

Its the most wonderful time of the yearrrr... (the Nordstrom anniversary sale of course!).  The sale started the 9th of July for Nordstrom card holders and the public sale starts on the 17th!  Above are some of the items I am obsessing over.  Sadly since I am an employee I can not shop until the public sale hits but I also have the chance to roam every department on a daily basis adding items to my list.  Even as a Nordstrom employee I wait for the anniversary sale all year.  It is the only time that items are marked down before they are at a full price.  There are also a ton of great products that are carried year round set to a special anniversary price (the Zella leggings, tons of bras, and spanxs/hosiery is what I will stock up on since I purchase these things all year long.  
So if you have a chance to shop the sale take full advantage && if you are not into credit cards they have a great debit option as well! 

 This sale I have been trying to stay focused with my choices and limiting them to items that will get plenty of use such as booties, flats, jeans, scarfs... basically everything pictured above (and then some).  It might be hard to think ahead to fall since the summer if in full swing but think crisp leaves and brisk air while shopping (it might make it easier).  

If you are looking for anything specific feel free to contact me! I can always hunt for a specific item! 

Happy shopping!

With warmer weather upon us I can't help but think of the days when I thought this winder would never end.  This has been the worst winter I have ever experienced.  What is worse than the snow is the lack of motivation it caused.  The choices of shoes to wear is minimal, and it is overall too cold to get out of bed, never mind put on a decent outfit.

Workout clothing is about the only thing that is warm, comfortable, and socially acceptable to wear during the cold (okay... not the only thing).  I am in love with feeling comfortable while looking put together and that's why I invest in gym items that are functional at the gym but can also be worn on "this weather is too much for me to handle" days.  

My favorite workout items are Zella.  They are a Nordstrom brand that carries a variety of leggings, tanks, sweatshirts, and other items weather your working out or not.  My favorite item of theirs are the "Live-In" leggings, they suck everything in without being too tight or see-through (saves me the embarrassment when squatting), and my new favorite sweatshirt is pictured as well (loving the cowl neck).

Well until the snow reappears this weekend I will be enjoying the sunshine.
