A Fashion & Lifestyle Blog
Ok friends, I hope you are not sick of hearing about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet because it ain’t ending anytime soon! But fear not, I have been hard at work preparing the BEST blog post for you. And by hard at work, I mean shopping, returning, more shopping, etc.
J.Crew drapey ruffle-trim (see more below)
Manolo Blahnik 105 mm BB pumps
Prada Saffiano Cuir tote in Cammeo (Prada store can find it for you – but the leather tote is also a favorite)
This look is FINALLY up and it’s a good one. I adore this Ann Taylor Paper Bag Skirt, which comes in both chambray and seersucker. The material is comfortable and does not wrinkle much. I also love the bow! It’s a great paper bag waist style, without being too much of a paper bag! This skirt is currently on sale at Ann Taylor, with an additional 50% off. That makes it less than $40! There are a few sizes left online, but I always recommend popping into the Ann Taylor stores. At least around the DC and Virginia area, the Ann Taylors are always stocked. My favorite one is at Market Common Clarendon.
The day is finally here! It’s pretty much Christmas Morning when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale rolls around. If you have never heard of/experienced the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, let me give you the deets. Every July, Nordstrom debuts Fall items, including exclusive designer pieces, home furnishings, and beauty sets, made especially for the sale. The items are discounted throughout the sale and they go back to full price when the sale ends. While it is sweltering in the DMV these days and I CANNOT even begin to think about how Summer is wrapping up and the Fall is nearing, I love grabbing some Fall fashion staples at a great price.
July 13 – July 20: Early Access for Nordstrom cardholders
July 21: Sale opens to the public
August 6: LAST day of the sale
The Friday before a holiday weekend is always exciting, BUT the Fourth of July decided to fall on a Tuesday this year. For the unlucky few, we still gotta go to work on Monday! What a tease… Oh well, maybe I can do some online shopping at work. Shh! Currently, everything at J.Crew Factory, both in-store and online, is 50% off, including my favorite go-to work dress. I LOVE a good striped dress, and if I must confess, I have the counterpart to this dress, which is white with black stripes. And yes, there totally is a difference.
Hi Friends! I had an unplanned week of hiatus from the blog and social media, but for good reason. My dad had a stroke last week and we spent almost a week in the hospital. After some prayers and perseverance, he is back home and doing great. So great, that I am running after him trying to make him sit down so I can take his blood pressure! Dads never want to listen… In the end, events like this make you thankful for the people around you who help you through it. So to all of you who sent me texts, messages, comments, and phone calls, I appreciate you so much. xoxo
Now onto the clothes. I bring to you, Part 2 of The Basic Black Tank Dress, Styled 3 Ways. You an catch Part 1 here. As mentioned in that post, my basic black tank dress is from Lou & Grey, and I absolutely love it. There are only a few sizes left in this exact one, but you can get a classic black tank dress anywhere and at any price point!
