nordstrom anniversary sale finds

the best sale of the year has officially begun... for cardholders, that is. nordstrom's anniversary sale, when they put brand new fall arrivals (including designer brands) on sale only for a limited time, started on thursday for those who hold nordstrom cards. for everyone else, the sale starts july 17th. ever since nordstrom opened in nashville and we experienced the sale for the first time, we have made it a tradition to go together on the first days of early access. thursday afternoon, we met (with our ever-faithful shopping bag holder, daddy) at green hills with iced coffee in hand to shop the sale. and shop we did... check out a few of my favorite and affordable stars of the sale!

the essential shirt dress OOTD

one of my favorites from LEONA's pre fall collection its the essential shirt dress. not only does it come in three colors, but it also has a fabulous shirt-tail hem, is so easy to accessorize, can be worn throughout all the seasons and fits perfectly. i snatched it up in the lovely olive color to go with my hair but love the classic black and navy too!

friday favorites: anniversary sale edition

one of the best events any retailer puts on has started! nordstrom's anniversary sale started yesterday for cardholders! i was too tired after work to go yesterday, but today i fueled up with some iced coffee from the e-bar after lunch and i was ready for the tents (if you have never been, the sale items are put behind curtains/tents)! the sale is ah-mazing because nordstrom discounts new fall merchandise for a limited time and then the prices go back up after the sale! it is a great opportunity to get new fall clothing at a price that would usually only be at the end of the season! here are my finds today at the sale!

via spiga jaffa wedge: such a good wear now & later (with tights) shoe

kate spade tidbit plates: to use or to hang on the wall

kate spade "places to go" mug: to add to my coffee cup collection

bella j "charming darling" candle: once fully burned, each candle reveals a bracelet

phase 3 chain detail open front cardigan: reminiscent of classic chanel 

kate spade branton square stone ring: every girl needs a good cocktail ring

lorac "nude" skinny eyeshadow palette: the perfect palette for everyday 

safe to say i did some damage but all were at such great prices! it really was just a perfect friday! spin, grocery shopping, sale shopping, laundry and cooking! and as a plus, i was all over the LEONA instagram today, both on the LEONA new york account and the LEONA : nashville account! check out two of my favorite outfits, one on sale now and the other brand new!
