Weekend Style | Swim on Sale


Happy Weekend! 
I know the majority of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is Fall but this year there are quite a few awesome Summer items.  This is great because they are pieces you can actually wear and enjoy right now.  

 We are off to pool party this morning and I am excited because my bathing suit I ordered from the Nordstrom sale arrived last night so I can wear it.  I will be wearing this suit- sizes are going fast!  I ordered a 6 for sizing reference.

My one piece also comes in a bikini version.  I love the black and white print.

I almost ordered this black suit but went with the one above.  This black suit is killer though.  The back is gorgeous.  I always love a black suit because they are so flattering.


I mentioned this suit Thursday but I was so excited to see it was part of the sale.  I bought it after I had Sterling and needed a one piece and 6 years later I am still loving it.  It is super flattering on and has padding to make your bust area look perky.
Here I am wearing it last year with Frances.

My mom has this cover-up in blue and it is so cute on!  
I also love this white cover-up.
I love the bright colors in this cover-up.
This cute cover-up dress is only $36.  I like the tassel ties and it looks super comfortable.  It also comes in red.

These sunglasses are my top pick.  I have one pair and I actually just ordered the pink color as well.  I am wearing the blue mirrored pair below and my cover-up is also 40% off.

If you need sunscreen, I can't say enough great things about Supergoop.  It is all we use these days.  It has low alcohol content so it doesn't burn the kids at all.  This is a great deal it is like you get one bottle for free.



My top picks from for Swim and Sunglasses from the sale.

Have an awesome Saturday

Thoughts For Friday + Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Shoe Picks

TGIF Friends.  I hope everyone has had a great week so far, I for one am ready for the weekend!  We are going to the Yacht Club tonight with some friends and then we have two birthday parties tomorrow.  

This little lady is growing up so fast, I wish time would slow down just a bit. 

I stopped by this week to visit my friend Kerry Steele.  She just moved to Charleston and has a new studio at Redux.  She painted a big painting for over our couch and I can't wait to share it next week.  I am in love with all her paintings.

Since the kids were both in camp this week, I got to do a little solo shopping by myself downtown which never happens.  I had some great luck at Anthropologie.  This dress is hands down amazing.   It is so soft, the material is awesome.  They only had the red color in the store but online they have black, green, and cream.  I am wearing a size small.   I figure I can wear this into the fall with a cute jacket and booties. 
I loved this adorable dress, it was sold out but now back in stock online with a ship date of next week.  I am in an XS for sizing reference. 

We saw the movie Secret Life of Pets last weekend and now Sterling and Frances are obsessed with Gidget.   That's Gidget trying to sip my Whispering Angel rose:)  The movie was really cute, I think I enjoyed it as much as they did. 

Matt and I finally finished Mad Men and I have to say I am so sad it is over.  It is the first show we have loved as much as Breaking Bad.  I looked forward to watching it every night after we got the kids in bed.  I kind of feel a void in my life without Don Draper.  We just started back on Bloodline though, everyone keeps saying the second season is better.  


I made the most delicious Summer dinner this week.  Roasted Salmon served over pureed butterbeans with whole wheat couscous and an arugula salad with watermelon radishes.  I will share the recipe next week if ya'll are interested.


 I ordered a few things from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yesterday including these Running shoes snd booties.   I had to time to scroll through all the shoes yesterday and these are my top picks from the sale!  Most of these brands will sell out so best to shop early. 


SHOES


For the price these shoes are a top pick.  They come in 4 colors and are only $59.  I love the nude and brown colors.
These Rag and Bone Booties are my top pick for an investment piece.  They are still pricey even on sale but so worth the splurge.  I can't tell you how often I wear my Rag and Bone Newbury and Harrow booties.  I had a hard time deciding between the stone and asphalt colors, but I went with the stone.  Keep in mind most Rag and Bone boots run on the small side, I always go up a half size.  

I meant to include these in my collage but this is a great buy.  Ugg slippers are my favorite.  These would make a great gift too.  They come in gray and cream knit. 


I will share my favorite Beauty items from the sale soon, so many great picks.  I ordered this set with the shoes.  I am a sucker for a good pink lip color.



I am working really hard on this one, I have a hard time saying no.  Have a great weekend!

Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access Favorite Picks

Happy Thursday!  Today the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts for card holders.  As I mentioned before card holders are able to sign in and gain early access to all the deals before everyone else.  The sale opens to the public July 22nd.  I remember last year many items and sizes went fast in this first week so it really is to your advantage to shop early.  If you don't have a card you can still sign up and shop the sale.  Many people open a card just for the sale and then cancel it.  You can shop the entire sale HERE.

I know it is hard to think about fall clothes when the weather is so hot but there are some really awesome deals.  For the next few days I will be breaking the sale into categories like beauty, home, and kids.  Today I wanted to share my TOP picks for the ladies.  I scrolled through all 95 pages of the women's items to make it easy for y'all and rounded up my favorites.  

When I first got my catalog these were the one item I knew I was going to order.  I love all my Rag and Bone booties and always try to score them on sale.  I especially like this style with the side zipper.  The quality of Rag and Bone booties is fantastic, they are a great investment piece to add to you closet.
One of my favorite one pieces!  So excited this is part of the sale.  It is so flattering on!
I just added this gorgeous one piece to my cart.  I love the black and white.



This is the perfect time to buy Hunter Rain boots.  I have the black and wear them often.
I have this in navy from about 3 years ago and wear it all the time.  I am definitely ordering the black.



Hands down my favorite leather jacket.  These went fast last year.  They are expensive but a great investment piece.  I have had mine 4 years now and still love it.


I really like the style and color of this purse for fall. 
The best slippers ever!




I have a few Vince sweater coats and they hold up really well.  I like the gray stripes on this one.

This is a great time to buy one if you don't have one, you can save $40.  I use mine all the time and it really helps brighten your face by powering away dead skin.

You know I can't resist animal print.  I love the gray muted colors.  I would wear this with leggings, an oversized tee and booties.

I have these from last year and really like them.
I love a longer cardigan paired with leggings because it covers my butt:)  This camel color is perfection.
Yes to the black and white + embroidery.

This cute dress is only $31!  


I love this jacket.  It is lightweight but really keeps you warm.

This is one of my favorite bras.  I am planning on ordering another color while it is on sale.

I also like this tee shirt style bra as well.

I always like a chambray dress, classic and timeless.

The cutest Ruffle Hem blouse and only $27.

I love the pink color.
These are all I wore in St Maarten.  They fit great on your head and are flattering on almost every face shape.
Lots of great Zella items are on sale too.  I love these high waisted pants- they suck in all your flab for a super flattering fit.  I wear mine as leggings sometimes too.

I always order my new nikes during the sale.  I am going with this style this year.




The Tory Burch stuff always sells out fast.  I like these simple nude sandals.
