Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally HERE

Hello all!!

For those of you that frequent Nordstrom, I'm sure you know by now that the pre-sale for Nordstrom card holders has started. Needless to say, I've been on the website for probably 24 hours scoping out the goods and filling my virtual bag to about $1400 worth of beautiful items. No, I will not be spending that much. As a lowly post-undergrad working a part-time job and living at home, my budget unfortunately could not afford that hit.

So for those of you without the great Nordies Card, you wont be able to shop the sale until July 18th. I've looked through and gathered some of my favorites from the sale so everyone can start making their lists!!!

Enjoy!

Coats! 

I've been fixating on fall and winter coats this anniversary sale. Possibly because I'll be moving to Baltimore in August. I'm definitely not accustomed to cold winters! As you can probably tell from a few of these selections, leather trimming and detailing is huge this coming season. And not just on coats, on dresses pants, leggings, and even tops too!

Awesome Jackets

The jacket selection this year is great! I'm impressed with the colors, silhouettes, and amazing details. Here are a few I'm sure you'll love. I love #2 and the way a professional fabric, tweed, is mixed with a more daring leather material for an edgy and sophisticated look.

2. Amber Sun Tweed Moto Jacket ($98.90/after sale $148)

Accessories

The anniversary sale is a great time to stock up on everyday items, like these tights. Also, sunglasses. I've been looking for a nice simple tortoiseshell pair and these nail it. In terms of watches, I'm normally a die hard Michael Kors fan all the way. But this Vince Camuto black watch is to die for. The gold rim and crystals make it very bright and classy, while the dark ceramic ban gives it a professional,focused look.

1. Halogen® Pleated A-Line Skirt ($45.90/after sale $69)
2. Nordstrom 'Everyday' Opaque Tights ($9.90/after sale $15)
