One of the highlights of visiting the state of Nebraska is visiting my in-laws, and going on dates! Truth be told, we’re usually too tired after a day at the Zoo, Aquarium, visiting great-grandparents, and with our crew of 6. However, we don’t miss this this chance to go out, stress free. For this date night, I paired an under $70 fringe skirt, black tank, wrap heel, with a stripe leather bag. Comfy and chic. I mean, how simple is black and white?

Our top 4 favorite places to go in Omaha:

ARCHETYPE for coffee and cool Cali vibes

ROJA for yummy margaritas and taco’s

ZIO’S PIZZA for yummy thin crust pizza

TED AND WALLYS for coffeecake ice cream

What are your favorites?

Sometimes all that’s missing in your summer wardrobe are some fun shorts. Enter the palm shorts I picked up last week. Flattering, on-trend fit, pockets and looks great with a classic white shirt. Any questions? Maybe you’re wondering how fast they can ship along with some much needed vitamin D to your neck of the woods. While I cannot ship the coveted sunshine, however, I can share with you that the shorts are 40% off with code SUMMER. How’s that for spicing things up?

I went to stock up on more black jeans, when I realized they were on crazy 40% off sale. Little did I know, the Nordstrom Half Yearly is going on NOW. Stock up for yourself or gifts, either way, enjoy up to 40% off. Happy long weekend. What are your plans?

Warning, even as you may glance innocently at the Net-A-Porter Sale, there is highly possible you will not have an empty cart. Case in point, just as I was making my selects on the sale pages, I couldn’t help but entertain the Roland Mouret white pants, the denim cutoffs, and those satin black pants, swoon!

This weekend we are off to Santa Monica, and if the kids have anything to do with it, we will stop by the beach. I’m keeping it simple with a cotton dress, sneakers (or cute sandals in blush velvet) and my trusty hat. I’ love that this dress is under $50 so the inevitable spills don’t stress me out. Back to breakfast with my crew, shop more dress finds below. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

We’ve been venturing out to more neighborhoods like Silverlake and loving the vibe. Laid back, artsy, and great coffee shops. And did I mention cool vintage cars? I’m a fan. It’s starting to feel like summer so what’s easier than a summer dress? I love that its only one piece and all you need is shoes to complete the outfit. Love this red handkerchief style dress that is also under $100! Shop more under $100 selections from Nordstrom below. Happy Friday!

Nordstrom Rack has beautiful essentials and many of my favorite brands at a discount. Think ruffles, gold earrings, flare jeans, and chic sandals. I love that this red ruffle blouse can be dressed up or down with white jeans or white pants. Options are key when my Monday often requires a blouse to transition from school drop-off to meetings to date night. Thankfully, Nordstrom Rack is a one-stop-shop for cute basics for the whole family. A friend told me about their mini Hunter boots and cute tops for my girls. So cute! See here my previous post with Nordstrom Rack. My advice is act fast to secure your size.

RUFFLE TOPS

FLARE JEANS

RED SANDALS

A good smelling candle sets the mood is makes a house or bedroom feel warm and inviting.

I fell in love with this print and styled it with white jeans (I buy in bulk) and lace up flats (I can still run errands with kids in them). A comfy long cardigan and hat elevated the look. Happy Monday!
