Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Under $50

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is nearly over and I’m doing one last round of shopping! The last week of the sale is usually reserved for practical things that I had overlooked in the beginning. I mean, because who really thinks of boot socks? But then October rolls around and you’re super grateful you stocked up! And let’s face it, these are the very best—so comfy and no sliding.

The other thing about the last week is that budgets are usually a touch tighter. I don’t want to spend a ton, but there are always a few little things that I can use. I tend to focus on things that are under $50, so I thought I’d share my faves from the sale! I can always use eye makeup remover or more Live In leggings. But, really.  I hope you enjoy the last week of the sale and these picks!

Yay! It’s Anniversary Sale time. I know you’ve probably seen about 1000 other people posting about their “sale picks,” but I love going through each page of the Nordstrom site during the sale and I wanted to share the things I adore. Bags are my go-to because as I’ve said over and over, bags don’t make you feel fat. Ever. Not one time. Hence, their positioning at the very top of my fashion loves. My first pick was a color-blocked Pashli that sold out in less than two days, but the fringed Frye (#3) is one of the most beautiful bags I’ve seen in awhile. And the shape of #5? So structured and perfect! I love the color. My vote for best value and versatility will always be anything Longchamp (especially the Le Pliage collection). The expandable styles are especially cool. Wanna see what I mean? There’s a great picture here. They’re the best for traveling! I can’t count how many times I’ve used this version on weekend trips and as my carry-on. If I could write a sonnet praising Longchamp, I totally would. Seriously.

I hope you enjoy shopping the sale! I’ll be back tomorrow with my top beauty picks! Have a fabulous week.

Liberty London @ Nordstrom

I’ve been so excited for this post! All of my fellow London lovers will understand my excitement and obsession with the current Nordstrom Pop-In. Liberty London is currently available stateside, which is basically the best thing since Nando’s coming to America. The Flowers of Liberty collection showcases three iconic prints that are gorgeous! The range of items is perfect for adding an eye-catching home decor piece or as a special gift. I’m really, truly, desperately hoping for that suitcase. I’ve wanted it for so long! I hope you enjoy browsing my picks! You can see the full collection over at Nordstrom.com.

July 5th is sort of a sad day for me. I look forward to the 4th so much that the day after is rather depressing. This year I tried to make the very most of the day! I tried not to get worked up by the terrible drivers or unbearable heat, but instead, tried to remember the significance of the day and all the things I have to be grateful for.

We started the day with Bella nearly passing out from fear (or was it anger?). The terror-inducing boy scouts were up early placing flags in all the yards. Our fierce guard dog was not a fan. After vain attempts to calm her, we eventually fell back asleep for another hour or so. We woke up, had festive waffles and battled over whether Independence Day or The Patriot was more appropriate for the day. After a relaxing day, we got ready and headed down to Stadium of Fire. We danced the night away to Journey and made it home in record time afterward! All in all, it was one of the best days. I can’t wait for next year!
