Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Hey There Lovers!!

It’s that time of the year. It’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Time to get your hands on some great items at a discounted price.

I decided to do a roundup of items that are my favorites, and other good items to always have. If you end up getting something, definitely tag me and let me know cause sharing is caring!!

PLUS SIZE CLOTHING

For the upcoming season we are still going strong with bold hues, plaids, as well as 90’s inspired pieces like slip dresses. Oh and don’t forget the animal prints, leopard, zebra and snake -oh yes. After cleaning out my closets for my closet sale with The Blogger House Curvy Closet, I had a good idea of what I have in my closet these days so there were a couple of pieces that are a part of the sale that I needed for my wardrobe. I love the plaid blazer, and believe it or not I am seriously thinking about the parka. It’s waterproof and a good medium weight jacket that will definitely get a lot of play (NYC has been getting a lot of rain this year). The coats are gorgeous this year with great teddy options in fun prints, as well as bold color. What I was most excited for from the sale was the lingerie. I love a good Elomi lace bra, and they have two versions available as part of the sale. If you do nothing else, at least check out the bra offerings.

SHOES

Over the years I have curated my shoe collection. I got rid of a lot of shoes that were pretty to look at, but hurt like hell. When it comes to buying footwear, I am looking for items that I can get a lot of wear out of, are comfortable, and look great. I love a good flat, so I added these cute Sam Edelman flats that comes in wide width. Last year, I bought a black pair from them and they are still going strong. I also added these wide calf boots from Born. It’s hard to find wide calf boots in leather for a good price, so I added these cause everyone should have a great pair of leather boots to wear for years to come. There are some cute booties, and fun pumps (like the zebra/leopard hybrid pump), and some slides that can go with a myriad of looks. I also added the Uggs Scuffette slipper cause it is definitely an item that one should splurge on. I have a pair of slippers from Ugg and they last for years and they are just oh so comfy.

So those are some of my favorite pieces from the sale. I did check out the handbags and jewelry, but there was nothing that I didn’t have currently in my wardrobe. If you get some items please tag me, I would love to see what you guys picked out. You have until August 4th before the prices go back up to regular price. Until next time! Muah!!!

It's the best time of the year...the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! As a kid I lived for back to school shopping, now I did enjoy school, but I loved picking out all of my new clothes way more. The Nordstrom Sale rivals that feeling for me. It's back to school shopping sans homework. For me its a win-win. Nordstrom's sale has something for everyone- beauty products, accessories, shoes, and great designer items. I wanted to talk about some of the great items that are up for grabs. Without further ado....

SHOES

Flats have become a major part of my shoe life. I love the fact that I do not have to sacrifice comfort for style. Working in NYC, the streets are not the best when you want to walk around in heels, but flats can get the job done. First up, is the Vince Camuto Empa Flat. It comes 4 colors (black, grey, wine, and putty patent). I went with the grey because it looks so good against my skin.  I will be wearing these with my skinny ankle pants, graphic tee, and a blazer all fall. Next up we have the Louise et Cie Barry Ankle Strap Flat. These are soo stinking cute!! I love me some animal print, so when I saw these in the catalog I fell in love. These will be my go to with dresses and skirts so I can show off the ankle strap. The last of my shoe purchases is the Halogen Olson flat in Stingray Black. I love the texture and studs on these. They are soo roomy. My feet are a little on the wide side, so anytime I am shopping for shoes, my first concern is fit. All of these shoes are available online and in stores, so if you get a chance try them and let me know what you think. 

CLOTHES 

Nordstrom's plus size section is the best out of all of the department stores. There is not only their private label Sejour, but they also carry City Chic, Eloquii, Vince Camuto, and a plethora of other great brands. If you have not checked out the plus size lookbook, here it is. There are so many great items. Besides being a denim addict, I am also a leather (faux or real) addict as well. For my leather fix, I went with Sejour's Leather Detail Dress in burgandy. The collar and bodice are made of real leather. What sold me on the dress was the fact that it was offered in another color besides black. Don't get me wrong, black is great, but I love it when I have a choice. I bought the dress in a 16, and it fits great. I love the color, and what's best of all it has pockets!! Definite must have. I also bought Eloquii's Faux Leather Culottes. When these were first on Eloquii's site, I waited because NYC was freezing, and my size sold out. I was excited that I was given a second chance, and I was not missing out on them. I went with a 16, and as you can see these fit great. 

There are so many other great items that are up for grabs. If you are in the need for new jeans, there are some from NYDJ, Halogen, Wit & Wisdom, and Kut from the Kloth. The outerwear this season is cool- there's parka's, fur coats, and cute vests. The workout gear has some cool reversible pants and jackets. Definitely head to Nordstrom and check out their Anniversary Sale before the prices go up on August 3rd.
