cardigan  |  t shirt  |  jeans  |  booties + here

This basic tee (for only $15) I bought in four colors!! I’m wearing a small because I wanted a bit of a looser fit. Cardigan -small and jeans I’m wearing a size 28. I tried on a 26 but they were a tad to tight. But there is a darker wash of this exact jean and I got the 26. So I’d size up one size in this wash.

Hello Friends!! So I finally got around to posting all my dressing room pics from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! And guys there were soooo many great items!! Plus, I was there longer then I’d like to admit! haha. So I know the whole sale can be a bit overwhelming and in your face — but it’s actually the best time to snag a few basics or even stock up on your simple tees and jeans.

Below I shared all the fit and sizing details with you so you could grab some great deals while they’re still available. I just have to put it out there that these items WILL sell out extremely fast, as a bunch of my favorites have already sold out — but a few items have been restocked!! So if you see something you love — grab it before it’s gone! I say this as I had a few items sitting in my cart last night and came back a few hours later and they were gone!!

I will continue to update you daily through out the sale as well as when items have been restocked!! Hope you all were already able to snag one of your favorite items. Also, I had so much fun giving away a gift card to one of you that I want to do it again!! So follow along on my Instagram and make sure to watch my stories as that is where I’ll be announcing how to enter. I’m hoping to giveaway a handful of gift cards to you all – because honestly I wish we could just go shopping together!! Thanks again for all you friendships + kindness!!

This sports bra is amazing!!! Really who knew they made them this cute. I’m wearing a small in the bra, leggings and jacket below. These leggings are high-waisted and a game changer for all of us that like to keep  cover up that area. And these Nikes are the lightest weight gym shoe I have EVER owned!! And they have already been restocked once.

cardigan  |  t shirt  |   jeans  |  tennies

After I had all my babies I lived in shape-wear for the next few months. I swear by Spanx to help your hips go back down. I still love to wear shape-wear sometimes just to help smooth out all the bumps + it just gives me that extra comfort that I like to have.

Time to talk shopping SMART. Don’t go buy a million things just because it’s on SALE. Go through your closet and look at what you really need. Think of staple pieces: jeans, a nice pair of booties, t-shirt and a good button up that will last a long time.

Also, shop online to avoid all the crowds!! Nordstrom has FREE SHIPPING + RETURNS so take this huge advantage. Now it’s time to get shopping and stocking up those closets for fall and maybe buying a few gifts for the holidays all on SALE!!

Happy Monday everyone!! Summer is in full swing at our house and we are loving it! We are definitely loving the warm weather, all the family activities, sleeping in, and of course all the great excuses to have great food, haha! I’ve also loved all of the darling summer trends that have been out this season. Particularly all of the fun summer sandals! I love the fun bold colors, the basic easy neutrals, and I love the low block heel trend.

I got these wedges this spring and they have been my favorite buy all summer. Honestly, I wear them all the time when going out or wanting to dress up my outfit a bit. They go perfectly with everything and have the cutest look to them! If you’ve seen my Instagram, you know I’m obsessed with these sandal wedges!

. . SHOP MORE SUMMER SANDALS . .

Also, today is  Amazon Prime Day and I’m working on another post for later today rounding up all the amazing must have sale items!! Our family finally got Amazon Prime earlier this year and have loved it! I don’t know why we didn’t sign up sooner. Amazon has a TON of my favorite fashion brands and so I’m so excited to see what deals they have today! Prime Day starts tonight at 9pm ET time. Can’t wait!

This summer I have been loving the high waist jeans and basic tee combo, plus sandals or wedge. I’ve worn this outfit on repeat a lot already because it’s so comfy! It’s basically my go to summer uniform right now. I told you last week that I was loving all the ruffle tops this summer and did a whole post about my favorites here!

Next week begins the biggest sale of the year – the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! It’s honestly the game changer of ALLLL sales!! Unlike most sales that are trying to dissolve old products to make room for a new season, the Nordstrom Sale is full of  BRAND NEW upcoming styles you don’t want to miss at a clearance prices!

Knowing how to navigate the sale quickly can be tricky, so today I’m sharing four tips on how to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and what I’ve learned over the years to help you get the most bang for your buck!

1: Be ready to shop as early as possible! Since the Nordstrom Sale is full of all new, highly anticipated items, most things sell out fast and never make it to the post-sale full retail price!  My biggest piece of advice is….to BECOME A NORDSTROM CARD HOLDER!! If you’re a Nordstrom Card Holder, you are granted early access to the sale! Yes you read that right…card holders get to start shopping July 13th- 20th.

This year the sale is open to the general public from July 21st- August 6th. Pieces are known to sell out within the first day or two of early access, so it is worth it to get the card!Even if you only use it for the sale, I promise it will be worth it to score those amazing finds in your size before everyone else has a chance! You can sign up for their debit or credit card HERE.

2: Plan ahead!! I highly recommend making a “wish list” before the sale starts. Be prepared and know what you are in the market for. Since this sale is amazing, you will more than likely find a few extra things  you love, but know in advance what your favorite must have items are and shop those first before they sell out! You can preview the sale by going HERE.

3: Shop online!! Nordstrom is my absolute favorite place to order online from. Not only is the website extremely user friendly, they also offer Free Shipping + Free Returns. You really can’t lose. The crowds are insanity in store, and can make things hard to find, especially with limited store quantities. Online you can plan your picks, and quickly order first thing in the morning.

4: Be sure to check back here the day of the sale!! I do a huge roundup of all the BEST pieces and price points from the sale, so you don’t have to sift through pages and pages to find the good stuff!! I will have it all broken into categories . . . shoes, dresses, kids, tops, jeans, beauty, etc. So it’ll be really easy to find what you want without you wasting any of your time. You can see last year’s dressing room post HERE + the First Day Favorites HERE!

Stay tuned here + on my Instagram Stories where I’ll be sharing my favorite finds and updates throughout the sale! Plus you check out the Nordstrom Sale Preview Catalog early HERE! Happy planning friends!!

You guys, SUMMER is in fulllll swing over here so can I just say, is anyone else already exhausted?! haha. Adding this move in to the mix has really wore me out!! So I guess I forgot how much I don’t like moving!!

Anyways, let’s chat a summer favorite of mine when it comes to style. Dresses are my number one go to! So if I get dressed for the day, which lets be real – doesn’t always happen, chances are it’s going to be a dress! Dresses are a staple piece in my closet every summer for two main reasons.

First of all, and kind of obvious, but you guys summer is HOT!! We have been visiting family in St George so it has been at least 100 degrees every single day! I love that a light summer dress keeps you cool so you aren’t having to pile on any more layers than necessary! I’ve been eyeing this one for awhile.

And finally they are sooo versatile! You can take a simple summer dress and pair it with flip flops or sandals so you can wear it to the park with your kids, grocery shopping, anything! I’m sure you’ve seen me wear this dress a ton. You can take that same summer dress and add heels and jewelry and you are ready for a date or a night out with the girls!

If something can be that comfortable and double as two outfits in one, sign me up!! I get asked all the time what my favorites are so I’ve linked a bunch of them here! I’d love to hear what your favorite summer staples are too!
