The day is finally HERE. The first day of early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I’m so excited I could pee in my pants. I love getting a sneak peek of fall offerings at discount. Makes me want to go on a big trip somewhere cold wearing all my fall clothes. Or perhaps you live in a cold area and dying to get your hands on some stylish layers. Or perhaps you’re looking for teacher and Christmas gifts. Keep scrolling and I think you will find something for everyone. I hope you are a Nordstrom Card holder and can enjoy shopping the sale early because things SELL OUT FAST. Apply for the card HERE. It helps to have first dibs on items you know will fly. Let me know which are your favorites!

Coats

Don’t miss this drapey jacket in white, this camel coat, and this classic in gray.

Sweaters

(Don’t miss the iconic leopard cardigan and super soft fleece that sells out every year!)

This cardigan is $45, lightweight and comes in a bunch of colors!

Shoes

Love these tall pointy toe boots and these short booties. The secret is in the flattering pointy toe and ankle cut.

Bags

Skirts

(Loving these 3 versatile skirts from the sale: suede, leopard skirt, and black satin)

Jewelry

ear jackets shown in gold // gold bar pendant // tunic in xs

Activewear

Dresses

I’m loving the LBD’s and leopard dresses this year.

Cozy, Cozy

Jeans

(these dad jeans I got in my true size only $52! and Paige jeans are GREAT. Note that the lighter wash in the Paige jeans are only available online. Not in store. I learned that the hard way.)

faux leather jacket // jeans // sneakers // blanket // candle // luggage // CZ Earrings // camel coat // tall boots // fleece jacket // weekender bag // booties // NuBODY device. See my blog post about the NuBODY here!

Mens

(Reid picked out some items below!)

Children

(So many cute little giraffe blankets, mini Patagonia coats, car seats and outfits)

Home/Gifts

(gimmie all the candles! These ones are on crazy sale, $22 for an Anthropologie candle!)

Sneakers

(I found two that I liked!) I ordered the adidas in white

Beauty/Devices

(I use this caviar shampoo daily. It is one of the very few products my stylist allows me to wear that doesn’t hurt my color! Also, I’ve used this Neulash to help re-grow my lashes after the effects of lash extensions. Most of you already know, the majority of my make-up is Charlotte Tilbury pillowtalk. Easy to use because I’m a novice and flattering colors. I use the lipliner every day! See my posts on Charlotte Tilbury make-up here.

I hope you found some goodies. Don’t forget to comment and “like” on my instagram to win a $100 gift card to jump start your Nordstrom shopping experience. I also published these looks on the Liketoknow.it app for mobile users. Hope you have a lovely Friday! I really appreciate your support and thanks for stopping by!

My favorite sale of the year is here. Icon and Ambassadors get an early preview to shop today at 9:30 PST and 12:30 EST. This year is a big selection I must say. Lots of goodies. But honestly, I’m most excited about the boots.

Since they did things differently this year, allowing the Icon and Ambassador levels to shop first, THINGS WILL SELL OUT FASTER THAN USUAL. Which takes me to my first tip:

  1. BUY NOW, RETURN LATER. If you’re on the fence about size or color, my advice would be to buy it (if available) and return one if necessary. It’s more important you get the item, right?
  2. GET THE CARD. Are you a Nordstrom Card holder? I’m NOT a fan of having multiple credit cards, but I got this one 2 years ago just for this sale. I never keep a balance and only use it for this sale. What I’m trying to say, is, it is worth it. And I get multiple $20 notes in the mail because I spend so much during this sale for you girls. Sorry Reid.

tall boots (praline suede) // skirt // halogen tee under $20 (super soft and comes in 7 colors!) // chloé bag //

I’m loving these pj’s, this bag, and super soft pullover for colder areas that always sells out. I would size up for a roomier fit. I also picked up these ear crawler earrings in gold and this gold bar pendant for $52.

Here’s a sneak peek of what I got from the sale yesterday. I have 5 bags and I had to have curbside pick up to help me get everything in my car. Phew, that was a workout!

Below are some outfit ideas for my 9 to 5 girls. Many of you working girls asked for outfit ideas.

pants // tank // faux leather jacket for $62!// similar mules // pleated skirt // vince cut out bootie // leopard cardigan // black jeans (I’m wearing a 2) // CZ earrings

taupe booties for $79// black jeans // $20 tank

Here is last year’s NSale post. I also love this candle set as a gift to the kids teachers! Ask me any questions in the comments or email me any questions. This is a great week to stock up on Christmas, hostess and birthday gifts!

Every year I think QUALITY over QUANTITY. We don’t need more stuff, we need to shop smarter. I don’t always pick the cheapest things, but I will choose the investment buys and smart buys. Trust me, you will thank me in the long run!

If you’ve ever walked into a Nordstrom shoe department, you already know what I’m talking about. Once you walk into the department, you are greeted right away. I love that about Nordstrom. Their customer service is always five star!

If I choose to purchase online, I usually get a couple sizes and style, try on what works and return what doesn’t. Yay for free returns! For these particular wedges, I tried them on in store. A friendly store associate told me to try the 8.5 versus my usual size 9 since they do stretch and I had some room. I’ve already worn these espadrilles on two occasions and almost half a day on my feet and no blisters or sores to report. Now, that is saying a lot considering I’m holding a baby 75% of the time! Besides comfort, the price point is below $80, and a perfect spring shoe. The only con would be, I wish the shoe came in more colors and different heights. I chose the gray since the color was really flattering with my skin tone and versatile to be worn with spring whites and classic blacks. What’s cool is that, at 4 1/4″ height and 1″ platform, you don’t feel the height and it is incredibly flattering. Especially worn with dresses or jeans.

If you were hesitant, get this! When you buy Treasure & Bond, Nordstrom will donate 2.5% of net sales to organizations that work to empower youth. How cool is that? I love when a company gives back. Also, this sandal has 625 reviews, most of which say these are incredibly COMFORTABLE and they wished they purchased these earlier. I know because I read most of those comments. Convincing me to order the tan ones as well. What do you think?

Recreate my outfit below:

Utility Jacket

So many great sandals under $100

White jeans

Classic Bags

I’ve always been a fan of Nordstrom. From their amazing customer service, awesome selection of top hot brands, rad sales and even a nursing room at their very welcoming stores. I ask myself what is not to love? But I ask, have YOU ever experienced their services? Recently, I used one of their many services I had never tried. I had my pants altered – FREE for cardholders. I wanted a white crop pant to be a little more cropped so I could show off my ankle straps. Done in as little as 10 min and they ask you when you need them. Can you say EASY?

Also, as a mom, the curbside pick up is LIFE. Especially when you have 4 little shoppers and 4 opinions in the backseat. This is how curbside works: a lovely Nordstrom employee brings my bags to the car once I drive up to the entrance and dial the 800 #. All I do is pop my trunk and wave, “thank you.” Easy as pie. And even better, zero sugar drama and kids begging for balloons, new shoes and the dreaded question, “can we get a new Lego?”

THANK YOU NORDSTROM!

Honestly, Nordstrom has everything and makes it so easy to shop no matter what your price point is. So, the next time you need something for yourself, your child, a gift for a friend or something for your husband (Father’s Day will be here before we know it!), head to Nordstrom – you’ll wonder why you never shopped there before!

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

Chriselle Lim launched her collection at Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Bloomingdales TODAY. She’s a mom of two and her sister was my former agent at Next Models. I always love catching up with her at events and always inspired by her many ventures as a momboss. I’ve compiled some favorites below. Which is your favorite?

If you have a round face, rectangle, square lenses work the best. If you have a square shape face, aviators, butterflies or round sunnies are most flattering. As for oval, any shape works!

Spring is on the way, I can feel it! That might sound silly coming from someone who lives in Southern California, but I think spring is so much more than just the temperature. There’s a freshness in the air and all the new fashion trends start to show up! On a recent trip to Nordstrom, I definitely saw lots of fun new things for the season including this amazing black slip dress.
This dress is my perfect outfit in so many ways. First, it’s comfortable, which means I can chase all five kids around in it. Second, it can be dressed up or down. You can wear with sneakers or a strappy heel or sandal. Best of both worlds if you ask me.
And when it comes to shopping at Nordstrom, you all know it’s pretty much my favorite place no matter what I’m looking for. I can find stuff for the kids, me and Reid. Win-win! Plus their convenient order online and pick up in-store method is perfect for busy moms. Make sure to head in to check out all their amazing offerings for spring soon!
What are you shopping for this spring?

All opinions my own. Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

  1. teddy coat (with removable hood) // 2. tee // 3. sports bra (under $40) // 4. leggings (30% off) // 5. adidas sneakers

Whether you prefer running, walking, pilates or yoga, Nordstrom has you covered. I recently found these awesome moto leggings 30% off, sports bra, and $15 tee (I knotted at the waist) online at Nordstrom.com. I’m in a very busy season of life so online shopping is my GOTO like any busy mom right? I read this teddy coat has a removable hood, so I thought it would be great for Lake Arrowhead as well as running errands with the kiddos post workout. As for these leggings, I plan to style them with an oversize sweater, tank and booties for a less I-just-left-the-gym look. Athleisure, anyone?

Heels // Jeans // Top // Faux Fur

The Nordstrom half yearly sale is here! I’m not sure what I’m excited more about – this Tahari coat or New Years in Palm Springs. Either way, I wanted to give my readers a heads up on some of the top items from the sale. Although we are enjoying 2 weeks in the Midwest, but I’m still online shopping and preparing for upcoming events I’m excited to share.  Hope you had a lovely Christmas with your friends and family.

 

Tops – as low as under $20, and great sweaters

Coats – I’ve my eye on the Tahari coat

Shoes -so many great tall boots, booties and sneakers on sale.

Kids – This is a great time to stock up on kids shoes. My kids are always growing out of their shoes, so I like to buy on discount.

Men’s

 

Boxy Pullover // Silk Midi Skirt // Sparkly Sandals // Tan Towels

I’m not crazy about ugly sweaters, or overly glittery tops or bodycon dresses. The latter especially doesn’t work while nursing. So, when I saw this combination at my local Nordstrom, I jumped on it. I love the combination of a knit sweater (with slight metallic thread) and a satin skirt in the same green color scheme. ‘Tis the season right? I’ll admit it’s a color I don’t wear often but love it in this shade! Speaking of shades, since most of the world does not have sun tanning weather like SoCal, I’ve got you covered. I live by these tan towels when I need a quick “real” looking tan for a night out or special event. Hey, even hubby uses them but don’t tell him I told you. Now, back to traveling to Chicago to see the family, show off Levi and my fake tan. What’s your favorite holiday look?

Happy Monday!

Reid’s work party is next weekend, so I’ve been on the hunt for simple (nursing friendly) outfit. Well, I found it!

I don’t have a lot of time to overthink holiday outfits, so I like to keep it simple but extra. Enter the leopard blazer. ROAR!

I was drawn to these pants because of the bow and flattering fit.

My eye caught these beautiful blazer because

A it’s hard to find a leopard blazer under $500 and

B it is on sale- now 50% off!  Can you say score?
