Happy Weekend! I’m loving this sweater dress – especially the shoulder button details. Style tip, this dress can also be worn off the shoulder, yay! 

  1. BELTED COAT – for its shape and color. Hello versatility!
  2. BUTTON FRONT SKIRT – love the asymmetrical design styled with booties
  3. HOUNDSTOOTH BLAZER hello fall must-have! Notice the modern piping detail for work to play chic.
  4. RUCHED SWEATER TBH this was the most interesting part of the collection. While I’m not usually a fan of baring the midriff, however, a peek of the mid section paired with chic high waisted trousers or a pencil skirt feels ever so fresh for fall.

Congrats to my fellow mama Chriselle for her new collection at Nordstrom!

How do I find outfits for my kids? I focus on quality fabrics, patterns and clothes they will actually wear and love. When I see them get excited about a shirt or a cool pair of shoes, that’s when I know I’ve found something they not only like, but they’ll actually wear! And yes, it’s all found at Nordstrom!

The moment my oldest saw this cape, she exclaimed, “This would be great for Lake Arrowhead!” And I agree. It’s super soft and perfect for chilly early mornings and late nights. We love it up there. Likewise, my son loves his sweatshirt and especially his new sneakers. He won’t stop wearing them! Kind of like his obsession with his soccer uniform. He wears it so much that hubby and I had to hide it! Anyone else have this happen with a kiddo?

I’m so thankful for Nordstrom curbside pick-up for days when I have to be at soccer practice, art class and tumbling class. Their customer service has won over this busy mama for over a decade. What are some of your Nordstrom faves?

I’m so excited to partner with Nordstrom Back to School for kids. I’m loving all their laid-back pieces to add to my kids’ wardrobe this fall. I honestly love shopping for their autumn staples just as much as my own and Nordstrom makes it too easy.

Because we spend most weekends in the mountains, I was happy to find a lot of pieces that layer really well! Going from warmer temps in LA to the cooler mountain temps can be a little tricky so I had my oldest pick out a plaid blazer to go over her yellow dress. And yes, I let her borrow my Gucci belt bag. You can’t fault her good taste. The boys’ shoes were sporty and adorable. Now I just wish they knew how to tie their shoes, but let’s reserve that for another blog post shall we? Likewise, the girls loved their boots because they look like mom’s! I wonder how long I will get away with them saying that?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—Nordstrom is simply one of my favorites for the kids. With all these adorable back to school options, how can you not want to pick something up for your kiddos?

1.  Oversize blazer (I’m wearing a small)

2. White tank (get it in black too!)

3. Distressed denim shorts (I’m wearing a size 27)

4. White Bella Band (I have in both black and white!)

5. Tan Booties in caramel suede (they’re 40% off!) 

I’m also wearing the following: Aviator sunglasses // Belt bag // Drop earrings 

Nordstrom always seems to nail it. I was looking for an oversize blazer over jeans, and distressed shorts and I found it all online at Nordstrom.com! I was so excited to share it with you. Also, if you’re on the lookout for denim shorts that are a good mom length, these are it! As for the white blazer, I got a small and it fits perfectly over the bum. So flattering. As a disclaimer, with 4 kids and a 36 week belly, I’m no stranger to stains. To be honest, I usually bring a tide stick with me. If you’re as crazy about oversize blazers as I am, this plaid one is equally stunning. Speaking of belly, try this bella band if you’re pregnant and wanting to still wear your pre-pregnancy jeans by covering this clever band over your denim zipper. Genius!

While in Lake Arrowhead last weekend, I wore this blazer over this dress and got tons of compliments. And yes, if you’re wondering, I’m wearing all the white after labor day. No rules ladies. Wear what you like, and if you want to feel EXTRA in white, use this self tanner.

Happy September!

gucci loafers(fit TTS)// jeans only $78 (I sized up)// long tee (I’m wearing a small and love the length!)// trench (I’m wearing a small)// medium satchel (also converts to a mom-friendly backpack!)

4 Things you need for fall

  1. Jeans
  2. Trench
  3. Tee (long)
  4. Loafers

This look is the perfect combination of something unique like the Ann Howell bag and all my closet basics. And speaking of basics, Nordstrom has the best options—I’m loving these Gucci loafers, long tunic, flattering jeans, Bella band, and mom-friendly bag slash backpack. Nordstrom is always my go-to for quality basics like these, awesome customer service, and options for curbside pick-up. The latter of which I will probably use when I have a nursing baby!

My approach to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year has been to look at it as shopping strategically. It’s so, so easy to feel overwhelmed, which is why I’ve tried to break things down into categories and think forward for fall and winter. And speaking of fall and winter, there are so many classic investment pieces on sale right now for the upcoming seasons. You know, the things you know your closet needs but always seem a little too pricey to actually buy. Now is definitely the time! Sales can be a fun time to try more trendy items at a discount, but I’m definitely shopping for those classic pieces at a discount.
If you’ve been focusing on trying to create more of a capsule wardrobe, I also can’t suggest enough taking time to sift through the sale. You can snag some great everyday basics for practically any budget. Especially if you’re a mama like me and need to grab some back to school clothes for your kids or even for the guy in your life (I rounded up all of my favorites for the guys here).

Another tip for the mamas out there reading this—curbside pickup. Of course anyone can utilize it and I highly recommend it, but if you’re running around like I am right now trying to prepare for baby number 5, it’s definitely the convenience factor you’ve been looking for.

What basics are you shopping for right now? I want to know your best purchase yet!

If you know me well, I gravitate to some of the same favorites: a tee shirt dress and booties being among them. This cardigan and booties are on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I’m hooked! This cardigan will also look great with jeans and comes in ivory and gray. Size down since it runs large. Off to Lake Arrowhead for a long weekend. Hoping to get some rest after a long week!

Happy Saturday!
