Happy Monday! Did you enjoy your weekend? E and I went to dinner and a movie on Friday night. We saw Baby Driver and if you are looking for a good date night movie I highly recommend! E and I BOTH really enjoyed it. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Saturday was a pretty chill day spent around the house. Sunday, E and I headed up to the lake for a day date where we ate the most delicious pizza and played a round of mini golf. I have to say I am enjoying every minute of my summer vacation! 

On another note, have you been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?! I have placed a few orders and am still waiting on the rest of my packages to arrive so I can share a review of my purchases. In the meantime, check out some of my sale favorites and top selling must have items. 

One of my favorite sale purchases thus far has to be this little slip dress. I got it late Friday and even though I was already dressed for date night, I had to change JUST so I could wear this sweet little number. At under $35 this is a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe as it will transition perfectly into the colder months. I can definitely see this being one of my go to work dresses because it is so easy to layer! This dress is under $35 and has adjustable straps! I wore it for date night with a denim jacket tied around my waist (needed this for the chilly movie theater!) and my favorite slides. When the weather gets cooler, I will layer it up with a scarf, cardi and booties (as pictured below - all items from Nsale!), and in the winter, I could easily see myself pairing this with leggings and riding boots!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Must Haves & a Giveaway!!

I'm sure by now you have heard PLENTY about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! You know what it is and my favorite picks, but after yesterday's kickoff, it's obvious what everybody is loving! These top selling items will be the ones to go first, and it's no wonder...fall staples on sale?! Yes please! PS Make sure to make it all the way through this post for an AMAZING giveaway!! 

1. Easy Circle Cardigan (Now: $50 // After Sale: $75): This cardigan sold out day 1 of the sale last year and it looks like it's currently heading in that same direction as the blush pictured above is already sold out! This year it was offered in 4 colors and a gorgeous burgundy, grey and taupe are still available. I ordered this one in taupe and am so excited to get it! I heard it runs large so I ordered an xs! 

2. Leopard Scarf (Now: $12 // After Sale: $19): A $12 leopard print scarf?? Sold! Leopard is a neutral right?! I can picture this cutie with any of the tops, cardigans or jackets above and it's lightweight enough that it will be perfect for early fall! 

3. BP Cardigan (Now: $32 // After Sale: $49): The top selling item from last year is back! This sweater is a STEAL at just $32! I bought it in 2 colors last year and wore it repeatedly, so of course I snatched it up in a few more colors this year! This sweater is the perfect length for layering and one of my favorite pieces for work in the fall and winter! 

4. Block Heel Booties (Now: $100 // After Sale: $150): The intricate detailing on these booties make them a stand out piece. These are a pair of shoes you can easily wear now and transition in to fall. I love that open toe!! 

5. Suede Moto Jacket (Now: $126 // After Sale: $188 ): This jacket was another hot selling item that they brought back this year and it's better than ever! This gorgeous jacket comes in 3 colors and I am obsessed with the "spice" color pictured above! I don't see this jacket being in stock for long! 

6. Suede Booties: The laser cut outs and split v side give these booties a unique spin. They come in 2 colors and have a stacked heel making them perfect for day to day wear. Pair them now with a dress and later in the fall with your favorite denim, cardi and scarf combo. 

7. Cargo Jacket (Now: $79 // After Sale: $118): Everywhere I look, I feel like I've seen some mention of this jacket. A cargo jacket is a fall staple for me! It's just the right weight for wearing in the fall when it's chilly enough to need light layers but not cold enough for a full on coat. The pockets on this one add a fun military inspired touch, but it's still classic enough that you will wear year after year! 

8. Tory Burch Riding Boots (Now: $300 // After Sale: $500): I invested in TB riding boots last year and am SO glad that I did! Before them, I had so many pairs of cheaper riding boots that either fell apart or I couldn't wear for long because they pinched my toes. I was looking for a great pair of boots to wear day after day that could take on the challenge of my teacher life (on my feet all day every day) and decided to make the splurge. If you wear riding boots a lot, I definitely recommend in making the investment!

9. Tory Burch Cross Body Bag (Now: $284 // After Sale: $428 ): This bag is gorgeous and I love that it comes in 3 neutral colors! The adjustable strap allows for it to be worn over the shoulder or as a cross body. 

10. AG Jeans (Now: $150 // After Sale: $225 ): These jeans will definitely be sold out before the end of the weekend! I haven't picked these up yet, but will definitely be purchasing today. AG jeans have an amazing fit and I love that this pair have no distressing, so I can wear them to work! 

11. V-Neck Tee (Now: $16 // After Sale: $24): It's all about the basics this year, and EVERYBODY is loving this tee!! I bought it in a few colors because a great tee is a staple in my wardrobe and hello?! $16 is a price that can't be beat!  

12. Tall Suede Boot (Now: $150 // After Sale: $225): These boots are gorgeous and at the top of my wish list. They have the perfect stacked heel and are a gorgeous shade of brown (or should I say "golden caramel"), although they also come in black and grey. I have a similar pair of boots that I wore all last fall and winter. They are perfect to take from work to the weekend!

Pink Palms

Palm Off the Shoulder Top c/o Purple Door Boutique // Similar White Denim Shorts // Rebecca Minkoff Bag // QUAY Sunnies // Slide Sandals 

Is there any print more perfect for summer than a palm print? I've been palm obsessed for awhile now, so the second I saw this sweet palm top from The Purple Door Boutique, I was sold. This flirty little number is made with the breeziest fabric making it perfect for the summertime heat! It's the prettiest combo of pale pink and green, which I love (because of the sun it's coming off more white!). I've worn this cutie with white denim shorts (as seen here!) and distressed denim, but plan on wearing it this weekend with a white skirt. If you are as palm print obsessed as I am, you will want to check out this gorgeous maxi (in the same print as my top!) and this fun little dress. I want to pack both for a vacation to the beach ASAP! 

In other exciting news, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts TOMORROW for cardholders! If you haven't seen my NSALE rundown, check it out here for all of the details! Tune in tomorrow morning as I share my sale impressions and top picks!
