Anniversary Sale: Back-to-School Favorites

July 19, 2016

Record skip…back-to-school? Sorry to be such a buzz kill and it’s waaaaay to early to talk about returning to school here in Seattle, we just got out 3 weeks ago! However, these deals on fall essentials are just too good to be missed at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

I’ve been posting my fashionable finds all week but I would be remiss not to share my favorite kid picks as well. Per usual, I’m looking for my fave brands such as Peek, Nike, Tucker + Tate, Tea Collection, and North Face. I always stock up on new coats, sneakers (a size too big), and jeans. See all of my favorites below:

What kid finds are you loving at the sale? What sale feature would you like to see next? Also, be sure to check-in with Kirsty to see her favorite cozy knits and warm jacket picks.

As always, thanks for reading and happy shopping! ~Jenn

Anniversary Sale: The Remaining Gems

July 22, 2015

If you have been following along the past couple of weeks, you know that I am Lovin’ the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale selection this year. The shopping has been intense – I’ve been there nearly every day shopping with clients and finding the very best pieces to highlight here. While much of the inventory is out-of-stock, there are still a few gems to be found. Remember quantities are very limited and prices go up August 3!

Women

Sam Edelman Zip Back Plaid Shirt

This shirt is so flattering on – I had nearly every single one of my clients try it on! The zip in the back is completely unique and gives the shirt a more fitted look. Size are limited – snap this one up before it’s too late!

Dolce Vita Bootie

The perfect slip-on, flat bootie for fall. Hitting right at the ankle, these pair well with jeans and skirts alike!

Rag & Bone Skinny Jean

The color and cut of these skinny jeans are spot on – just as you would expect from Rag & Bone. Wear this fatigue color as you would a neutral (like grey and black); it pairs well with just about everything in your fall wardrobe.

Rebecca Minkoff Backpack

I have been eying this backpack throughout the spring and summer – I can’t believe the sale price?!

DVF Silk Romper

This romper (yes – it is shorts), is a flirty twist on a DVF classic wrap dress. With the quintessential geometric print, it is classic yet totally on-trend.

Men

AG Slim Straight Jeans

The perfect, dark denim classic, straight jean – I should know, my husband may be my most difficult “client.”

Ted Baker London Zip-Up

This zip-up jacket is so easy to dress up and down. In particular, I love the color-blocking detail on the back.

New Balance 515

You had me at retro sneaker. Worn with shorts now and paired with your favorite denim in the fall, you cannot go wrong with a classic New Balance tennis shoe.

Kids

Tucker + Tate Jeggings

My daughter lives in jeggings. So easy to pull on and so comfy – the pink and purple pattern definitely scored points as well.

Vans Classic Slip-On

I want these for myself (no big shocker there!). Classic Vans at an awesome price.

Patagonia Vest (baby girls)

Such a cute color combination, I’m only sad they didn’t make them in bigger sizes.

Junk Food Star Wars T-Shirt

I couldn’t resist this one – we have some serious Star Wars fans in my family. And graphic tees make back-to-school so much more fun.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my sale selections. Which are you favorite? What did you bring home? I would love your feedback. As always, thanks for reading! ~Jenn

#Instastyle: Sneaker Diaries

January 13, 2015

I have been living in my sneakers lately…I just can’t seem to get enough! An athletic-inspired shoe adds a relaxed and cool, yet chic statement to seemingly every outfit. From stylish to truly functional, check out my sneaker collection below via my Instagram posts, and be sure to follow me for daily outfit inspiration!

Converse ‘Chuck Taylor’

These have been my absolute, go-to sneakers for years. I own black and white (as well as the high-top version). “Chucks” look just as awesome paired with leather pants as they do with a short, flirty summer dress. Converse are also a great example that a timeless staple piece doesn’t have to break the bank (at $45).

Nike ‘Internationalist’

I was inspired to purchase these bright Nike sneakers after selecting a pair for a client. I have worn them a TON as the bright color compliments all my dark neutrals, which seem to be in heavy rotation. The sneakers looked awesome paired with shorts during the summer (and saved my feet at the fair – as pictured), yet continue to be worn with my jeans and sweats, as the temperatures have dropped.

Madewell X Vans SK8-Hi (similar) | others: Vans SK8-Hi, Vans ‘Style 36’ Slim Sneaker

I had been eying the classic Vans SK8 high tops for awhile and, when I saw their collaboration with Madewell, I had to buy! A twist on the classic version, these moss green high tops have gotten a ton of mileage. Clearly I’m a jeans and sneakers gal!

Nike ‘Free 5.0 14’ Running Shoe (similar)

My Nike kicks are more of a true activewear shoe than the other sneakers in my collection (at least that’s how I justify them). They’re perfect for when comfort is truly a requirement…like a long day of running errands or chasing kids. I also love the sporty juxtapose when paired with my everyday street wear.

Vans ‘Classic’ Sneaker

I purchased these Vans slip-on sneakers when I was down in California visiting family over the summer. Maybe it’s the nostalgia for my childhood combined with the classic black and white check; either way, I just couldn’t help myself! I’m also loving all of these fun prints and textures: snakeskin, metallic, and liberty print.

Adidas ‘Stan Smith’

My newest addition, I’m loving the throw-back, vintage vibe of the classic Stan Smith sneaker. I didn’t own these in high school, although I wish I had been that cool! In particular, I love their stark “whiteness” in contrast to all of my darker winter layers. And, unlike canvas, they’ll stay white longer, even after being stomped on by small feet.

Wow, that was a lot! But, don’t judge my sneaker obsession. What sneakers are you lusting after? Tempt me. As always, please leave a comment or questions.
