File this post under the “Shopping Wisdom” tab. As a Nordstrom cardholder (and there are several options available: retail, debit, and visa), the most significant perk is that you earn Nordstrom “notes” or money towards future purchases. Ordinarily you accumulate one point for every dollar that you spend; receiving a $20 note for every 2,000 points. However, there are several shopping events throughout the year where you can earn bonus points. September 21-25 is one such event, when you get triple points on every purchase you make with your Nordstrom card at Nordstrom, The Rack, and on HauteLook. Basically Nordstrom is paying you to shop in their store!
In anticipation of triple reward days, I have been storing my most lusted after items in my “wish list” – waiting to purchase during this event so that I can get more money back (I plan to apply the notes I earn towards my Christmas list – see, I’m thinking of others!). I’ve shared this trick in the past: I “wish list” items online and revisit to check if they have gone on sale and confirm that it is something that I still “must have.” Then, during these types of events, I simply move the items that are on the top of the list into my shopping cart and I’m done. New clothes, accessories, and make-up refresh on the way to my home and new notes for the bank!
Curious what’s on my wish list? See below.

Light weight and not black, this jacket is perfect for Seattle’s finicky spring weather. With a silky interior lining, this bomber-style jacket will look equally awesome worn over a tee later in the season. The Italian wool knit definitely walks the line between jacket and cardigan, perfect for in between seasons.

What a year 2015 has been? Professionally, I have had the pleasure of working with many new and existing clients, I styled my first magazine shoot, attended several Seattle fashion events, and redesigned my website (hopefully you are enjoying!). I’ve also tried to grow my blog, which has meant posting with more frequency. Often I’m working into the night (after bedtime, of course), while my husband catches up on “The Walking Dead,” currently wearing my new flannel pjs and socks…not so glamorous.
This striped tee from the Gap makes another appearance in my top picks. Such a great staple piece that is still in heavy rotation in my wardrobe. Here are a couple of other navy and white favorites:

One style goal this year was to wear less jeans (ok…baby steps), but this navy, floral-print Wayf dress was an early fall favorite. I’m currently wearing it now with tall boots and my sherpa vest (you’ll see more of that one below too). 
This year I fell back in love with flare jeans in a big way. This pair from the

See, not wearing jeans! I rediscovered Maison Scotch this year, where I found unique pieces such as this
