Late Summer Living

Happy Thursday! I’ve been seeing tons of posts about today being the first day of school—I can’t believe the summer is officially over for all your little people! Even though I miss school, it’s nice to not have a specific date that basically ends summer. I’m getting a bit antsy for fall dressing, but we have a couple more weddings before autumn arrives. I’ve exhausted my summer wedding wardrobe and have been on the lookout for something that can be repurposed next year. This dress comes in three colors, including a blue that is stunning. All the supporting pieces are under $90, which is really the greatest news. Topshop heels for $85? I vote yes. Always. The pendant necklace was super intriguing to me and is only $24 (happy dance!).

I hope you have a great weekend! Nordstrom has some great bags on sale right now—be sure to check them out!

Deer Valley

IMG_6689 Deer-valley-music-festival Anthropologie J.crew-button-up Sperry-TopSider  We’ve basically been living the past few days in absolute desperation! We can’t believe it’s August and our bucket list didn’t seem to be getting smaller. We’ve been trying to get outside every single day! At the top of every summer to-do list is the Deer Valley Music Festival. We prefer sitting on blankets because really…is there anything more summer-esque? Even though we were only able to make it up once this year, we loved every second.

Do you have any recommendations for other outdoor summer concerts? We’re trying to make them our new thing. Ha! Thanks for stopping by!

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.
