Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

Today I am sharing with you all my TOP PICKS from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. There are sooo many good sales this year I can't even hide my excitement! The sale includes BRAND NEW fall merchandise and of course wardrobe staples. Keep reading below for details!

WHY SHOP THE NORDSTROM SALE?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably the BEST sale of the year and among any retailer. The sale has brand new items for the upcoming fall that are marked down which is very exciting (prices go back up after the sale). This is the best time to stock up on your sweaters, jeans, boots, shoes, makeup, handbags, etc. Not only can you stock up on your fall items alot of wardrobe staples go on sale as well such as workout gear, jeans, leggings, cardigans, t-shirts, etc.

Unlike other sales where items start at full price and then get marked down, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the opposite. Items start on sale for a selected period of time and then prices will go back up in August. 

To avoid getting overwhelmed I always have a strategy in place when shopping the Nordstrom sale. First I go through my closet to see what I need. Do I need new pair of boots? Leggings? Tanks? Sweaters? After putting together a list of items I need, I then browse the Nordstrom catalog to get a sense of what will be going on sale. I jot down brands, styles, and prices so I know which departments to go to first. It's like creating a road map! I also use the “Wishlist” tool on the Nordstrom website to save any items that I want to buy - this is a great tip for staying organized and only buying what you need to buy!

Nordstrom offers curbside pickup and expedited shipping. Nordstrom makes it super easy to shop from the comfort of your home. I know I’ll be doing alot of online shopping over the next few days!

Outfit Ideas for Fourth of July

Romper: Zara (Old) / Sneakers: Cole Haan
Purse: JustFab

Fourth of July weekend is here and I can’t believe half of the year is already over! Fourth of July translates into BBQ’s, weekend at the beach, fireworks and great company. It’s one of those holidays that I try to plan on either mixing stripes and different shades of red, white and blue or wearing a dress that has some if not all of the colors.

If you’re in search for some outfit ideas take a look below!

Pair these outfits with a cute pair of white sunglasses, tote and white sneakers!

Tiered Colorblock Dress for Spring

Colorblock Dress: English Factory / Heels: JustFab (Similar)
Earrings: Ann Taylor / Purse: Chanel

One thing I love about spring and summer dresses are that you can have so much fun with them! This colorblock dress is perfect for the upcoming warm weather and just screams summer. This colorblock dress has a loose fit (wearing size small) so it’s perfect to bring out on vacation and also great for a post partum mama like me! There are many pretty options in solid colors, prints, and color block options and I’ve rounded my top picks for this season below.

Where to See Cherry Blossoms in Philadelphia

Dress: English Factory (Similar) / Denim Jacket: H&M / Sandals: JustFab
Bag: From Greece (Similar Affordable and High End)

One of the first signs of spring, Cherry Blossom season, is officially back! Here in Philadelphia there are soo many amazing places for Cherry Blossom sightings. There are many parks and places to catch a glimpse of them in Philadelphia during the peak bloom season around the second week of April. They truly are beautiful and have to be one of my favorite times of the year!

Where to See Cherry Blossoms in Philadelphia

• FDR Park

• Fairmount Park (Fairmount Park’s Horticultural Center)

• Shofuso Japanese House and Garden

• Kelly Drive (near west Girard Avenue) and Boathouse Row

• Around the Philadelphia Museum of Art

• Morris Arboretum

• Longwood Gardens

• Various neighborhoods throughout center city, especially graduate hospital and South Philadelphia. These photos were taken at a small street near 18th and Pemberton.

Special Occasion Dresses for Spring

Floral Dress: Madewell / Clutch: Valentino (Similar)
Sandals: JustFab (c/o)

Spring is officially here! I’m so excited to finally put away my winter jackets and start taking out my dresses for spring. This floral number is such a pretty dress and is also perfect for a special occasion! This floral midi dress has a square neck and long sleeves - what I love about this dress is that you can also wear it off the shoulder. The length of the dress is midi which I personally think is perfect for spring and you can re-wear it in the fall!

Also let’s talk about these thick braided sandals from JustFab. Braided sandals are on major trend for this spring and the ones from JustFab are just a fraction of the cost of the Steve Madden version!

Below are my favorite special occasion dresses for spring (you can even wear these for Easter!)
