Anybody remember that feeling of finding your first day of school outfit? Back to school shopping was always my favorite time of year, and I got practically giddy as I laid out what I would be wearing that very first day back, even if it was a few weeks...or a month in advance. Being a teacher, I still get to have a "first day of school" outfit and I'm not going to lie, I LOVE it. When I tried on this Antique Garden shift dress, I had that same feeling I used to get when I was younger...this is the one! It may be a month and a half in advance, but I will definitely be wearing this sweet printed shift when the first bell of the year rings in September! 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who picks/picked out first day of school outfits so far in advance! 

Exciting news! 

Today the Nordstrom Anniversary sale OFFICIALLY begins! 

I will be having my favorite sale picks all week, but you can start shopping some of them now below!

Happy shopping!

Fall Essentials: Ankle Booties

This is the time of year that I start scouring my favorite shops for the perfect pair of ankle booties to add to my fall wardrobe. A new pair of booties is one of my fall essentials as it's something I wear constantly through the fall, winter, spring and even in the summer with a dress or denim cut offs. I always look for something I know I will get a ton of wear out of that will look good with anything and everything! This year, it's going to be tough to make a decision as there are so many contenders! I think this year I will be splurging on a great pair of brown ankle booties (options here) as they tend to be an absolute necessity in my wardrobe (and my current pair are just about worn out!). Along with my ankle booties, I will be looking for a new pair of rainboots and over the knee boots, but I will share my top picks with you later:)

This week's blogger of the week from last weeks link up is the gorgeous Chioma of Chioma's Evolution of Style! First off, how seriously BEAUTIFUL is her hair?! I'm pretty much obsessed with her stunning curls. This was the perfect 4th of July outfit, as the blue and white stripe dress pop amazingly with her red shoes. Not to mention that unexpected yellow bag! I love it! You look absolutely stunning, sweet girl! I have definitely found a new blog to check regularly!

And when it has ruffles?! It's a must! This is my favorite trend this summer and I hope it's one that stays around for a while!
