Good Vibes


A pair of cutoffs and a fun graphic tee makes for the perfect casual summer outfit. This is my go to ensemble for running errands, weekend bbq's and road trips to the lake. I can't even tell you how often I wear this tee. Not only is it super comfy, but it's got a pretty good message on it. Good vibes only! 

This tote is from Moo's Shop, my latest obsession. Mary Joan, the owner of Moo's, makes the most gorgeous straw beach bags, clutches, and tassels. I love that I can take this bag from the beach to running errands. It's the perfect size! It also comes in a ton of other colors! Next time I go on vacation, I will definitely be picking up another piece from Moo's shop, like this fun clutch

Sending plenty of good vibes your way as you head into a new week!

3 Tops to Update Your Wardrobe for Fall


Look 1 - Lace Cami // Similar Cardigan // Jeans (under $60!) // Similar Options here and here // Pearl Sandals 




New fall arrivals have been hitting online stores, giving me the itch to shop, but while fall is just around the corner, it's still over 100 degrees here! This makes wearing those new fall goodies just about impossible, unless you are up for sweating in your new sweater and boot combos! When browsing the new arrivals section at Nordstrom, I've been looking for pieces that I can wear now and transition easily into fall. Nordstrom has by far the best selection of trendy yet affordable items, and they get new arrivals DAILY. I recently picked up three tops and I don't have to wait for the weather to change to wear them! They are the perfect pieces to wear now and in the fall and all three are under $50!  

Lace Cami - This gorgeous lace cami is under $30 and comes in 4 colors. It's the perfect little tank to wear to date night on a hot summer night, but will be easy to transition to colder weather by pairing it with a cardi. My favorite way to wear a lacy cami in the fall and winter is paired with a pullover sweater so just a little lace peeks out! 

Lace Up Tee - The lace up trend was huge last year and it looks like it's here to stay! This tee give off "cool girl" vibes with it's deep v lace up and grommet detailing. It's only $32 and comes in 6 great colors. Wear it now with shorts and layer it up in the fall. The lace up detailing gives a little something extra to your cardi and tee combo! 

Ruffle Bell Sleeve Top - Ruffles and bell sleeves? Yes please! This top has perfect flirty sleeves and a fun lace up detailing in the back. It's lightweight enough that you can wear it now, but pair it with jeans, boots and a draped vest (like this one) in the fall!

Instagram Round Up - What I've Been Wearing this Summer

Happy Monday friends! 
I can't believe that we are already well into August! I feel like this summer has FLOWN by! I also feel like I've dedicated a ton of time to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this summer! While I love all of the fall goodies, I am still enjoying every minute of summer! Today I thought I would round up some of my favorite (none #nsale) instagram photos from this summer so you can see what I've been wearing! 


This dress is perfect for work! It's coming to the blog later this week as I share TWO ways to style it...for summer and fall! 

 Top (comes in 2 colors) // Levi's Shorts  

I wore this outfit to dinner on Friday night and shared this story on IG. For some reason this top reminded my husband of The Macarena and when I asked him to take this photo he decided to play the song and dance along meaning getting this shot took x9374 times because all of them were blurry from his dancing....boys!! It's a fun summer top that screams summer and the best part? It's just $15! 


I got the chance to head over to Nordstrom at Southcenter and check out the new style bar and style board services!  The style bar stylists were SO sweet and helped me pick out this outfit that was perfect for date night! I never would have tried this distressed denim jacket if the stylists hadn't pulled it for me and I am so glad she did! I am obsessed! 


I've been all about gingham this summer and this sweet dress has been perfect for the beach and running errands! It has the sweetest bow ties and is made of lightweight fabric that is perfect for hot summer days! It also comes in the cutest two piece set

 Dress // Bag // Sandals - $25 Dupes // Blush & Bar Necklace 

Be prepared to see this dress one too many times! I fell in love with the fun ruffle sleeves the moment I saw this dress! I've been wearing it as a coverup, dressing it up for date night and plan on pairing it with OTK boots come fall! Full post of this cutie coming soon! It's currently unavailable in the taupe (I have a feeling it will be restocked soon), but check out the gorgeous teal! 


I picked up this top this spring and have been wearing it a ton! It's now on super sale and is such a pretty piece to add to your wardrobe! You can wear this one into fall! 


This off the shoulder top has everything that I love...stripes, ruffles and tassels. The best part? It's currently on sale for only $20!! Snag this cutie now!


It wouldn't be summer without a fun printed swimsuit! This one is one of my favorites! This print comes in a bunch of different pieces, but I opted for the high waisted bottoms and plunge bikini top. 


When I saw this bright orange top, I knew it was a summer must have! It's light weight and airy and the crochet detailing is gorgeous! It comes in 4 different colors! 


My summer shoe rotation! I've been loving detailed sandals and my cactus espadrilles! 


This sweet denim peplum top is now on major sale (under $30). Wear this top now and layer it up in the fall! 


Off the shoulder striped top, white shorts and sandals. This has been my uniform lately! 


This top is one of my favorite new pieces! I'm wearing it now with denim and shorts, but know it will be perfect for work once school starts back up later this month!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Last Call!

Top //  Similar Tote Bag ON SALE // Denim (not on sale but under $60) // 
Mules (available in 3 colors) 

Happy Sunday! 
Today marks two weeks left of summer vacation! I will be heading in to the classroom this week to start setting up. I had to move rooms in June, so I have a lot of work ahead of me!! 

Sharing a rare Sunday post today in honor of the LAST DAY of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I will be perusing the website one last time to make sure I didn't miss any goodies! I remember being frustrated that I didn't buy a few items on sale last year as I ended up purchasing for full price later in the fall. Not falling to that this year! 

My outfit today consists of many sale items STILL IN STOCK! My favorite has to be this cold shoulder satin top that comes in two colors and is fully stocked in both! I tried this on when I visited Nordstrom last Monday and fell in love with the dusty pink color and pretty bow ties! This is one of those pieces that will transition perfectly from summer to fall and it's a fun date night top!

I'm rounding up the best of the best that is still in stock! Head to the bottom of the post to shop now! Remember, prices go up tomorrow, so take advantage while you can!! 

A little disclaimer...it's super smokey here due to a fire (that is actually quite far away), that is sending all the smoke our way. We have been blanketed in a cloud of smoke for just about a week now and I miss the blue sky and sunshine! While we shot my outfits for this week, the sun was completely orange, giving all of my photos an eery glow. You might see a few posts this week that look a little off in color and that is why!!
