Friday Faves: #NSale 2019!

Today the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public!  The NSale is always a fun sale to shop because it’s the only sale to sell fall/winter clothes before the season begins at a discount.  All other sales are end of the season.  

The past week has been open to card holders only, and now today it’s open to everyone!  You may still be able to find yourself a good deal on something to wear this upcoming fall–or even to wear now!!

I always order more since Nordstrom ships free and lets you return items free (it’s a win-win situation!!), so I’m not keeping all of these items.  I did splurge on ordering one item and I’m really still debating about keeping it.  It’s SO nice, but do I really need it??

If you like something, click the link (I do earn about a penny for each link clicked, so thank you for clicking!!!) and see if it’s still in stock!

 leopard dress | shoes (not part of the sale)
Love this dress!  I’m keeping it because it’s perfect for school now.  It fits true to size, but I will say it doesn’t give a ton of room in the chest area.



 pullover | shorts | tennis shoes (already sold out, but same linked that’s not on sale)
I love this pullover since it’s lightweight and more of a windbreaker-type pullover, and I’m definitely keeping the running shorts because I’ve never seen them on sale for this cheap!  My only problem is the shoes.  I love them, but they are a half size too big.  I sized down a half size and really needed to size down a full size, but they are already sold out!  I linked a really pretty pair that’s full price if you like them.



 top | jeans (not part of the sale)
Keeping this shirt for sure!  I knew it would be a big hit during the sale and I was right.  My jeans aren’t part of the sale, but they are my favorite if you’re in the market for quality jeans. I wasn’t impressed with any of the jeans in the sale.



 sweater | jeans (not part of the sale)
I love Free People sweaters SO MUCH, but I ordered this thinking it was a different style ha!  I’m going to return this even though it’s really soft.



top | scarf | jeans (not part of the sale)
I’m returning this shirt because boxy shirts do nothing for my figure.  My dilemma is the scarf–it’s such a luxury item and I know I would use it a lot because it’s such a classic color BUT do I need it at this price point?!? 


If you shopped the sale, what’s been your favorite item so far?
If you plan on shopping the sale, what are you looking for?

The Perfect Dress for a Summer Celebration

 This has been such a fun dress to wear lately and I really think it’s the perfect dress to wear to any summer celebration–a wedding, nice dinner, party, etc.  The fabric is so lightweight and flowy, so you could wear it in the summer heat and not be as hot haha!

I wore it recently for family pictures that were outside and I was really grateful that the fabric was so lightweight–which helped me not to sweat a ton in the Alabama heat.

What would you wear this dress for?

I also paired it with red lipstick and my favorite nude heels.

This dress runs true to size!


Meghan Markle Maternity Syle That I’m Loving

It’s no secret that I love Meghan Markle.  

She’s living out (almost) every American girl’s dream….marrying a prince.  She’s got access to loads of good fashion, and aside from the pressure from the press, I’d like to think she lives a good life.  She’s been given a major platform to do good in the world, and she’s married to the love of her life 🙂

Her maternity fashion choices have been very interesting.  I honestly thought she’d dress a little different, but I’m not hating it!  There are some outfits I like more than others, so today I thought I’d share some of the ones I’ve been liking!


 I think this dress is Oscar de la Renta.  I didn’t like it at first, but it eventually grew on me and I really like the pop of color the shoes gave it (see below).  I probably wouldn’t have paired tall boots with a longer dress, but she did and it looks good on her!


 This shows her boots better!  The olive color looks really good with the dress above.


 I once saw an interview with Meghan for Good Housekeeping and she mentioned she really enjoys a good monochromatic look.  Keep that in mind because she chooses to wear monochromatic a lot.  I like the all black look on her.  The skirt has pleats!


 I love the neckline on this evening gown and the fact that it’s a darker color.  


 This one surprised me when I first saw it pop up on social media because she’s not one to wear bold colors.  But as the day went on, the news began reporting how she may have dressed in purple and red to match the logo of the organization they were visiting, and an old picture of Diana dressed in purple and red popped up and I thought that was sweet.


 Meghan loves a good blush look and I love it on her!  Her make up looks really good right here, too.  Do you like the blazer with this?  Oh, and Saturday Dustin and I were in Nordstrom and I came across the Aquazzura shoe display and I saw these exact shoes-of course I had to check the price and tell Dustin how Meghan Markle wears this brand ha!  And these are very, very similar to the ones she wore most recently except hers had a higher heel (and in a maternity look that I did not like).


 Another semi-monochromatic look and this one features a dress from H&M maternity.  She hasn’t worn hardly any real maternity pieces, so I was surprised to see her wear this one.  I like that Kate pairs high end pieces with low end, and I hope that Meghan will do that, too!


I LOVED this look!  Meghan went back to the Grenfell(?) Tower where she helped to create the cookbook and wore this look.  I’m pretty sure this look was from November, too.

Which of these is your favorite maternity look for Meghan?
