Favorites on Sale at Nordstrom

April 5, 2020

Hello?? Anybody there?! It has been a little quiet on the blog front. I just read my last post and boy, have things changed since then! I wrote it right after we found out the kids’ school was closed for 3 weeks. Now, it’s closed for the rest of the year. I included some of our favorite games and things to do in the post, so if you didn’t read it, you should check it out! Although, sorry if all the puzzles are now sold out!

I’ve been refraining from shopping for several reasons. My husband’s office is closed until at least April 30 so it just doesn’t feel like the time to be spending money. Not to mention that he is HOME all.the.time now so no hiding packages! (tell me I’m not the only one that does that!). However, one of my favorite retailers, Nordstrom, continues to have amazing items on sale! I did order a couple things today, because maybe someday we will be able to socialize again! I also saw some of my all-time favorite items on sale and I wanted to share these great deals with all of you!

March 8, 2020

Whether you are in a car or plane, you want to feel comfortable when you are traveling. Throughout the years, I have developed a formula for my travel day outfit and essentials. Today I’m sharing my travel day look along with several functional items that help keep me organized. Also, I’ve read a ton of good books lately so if you need some vacation reads, I’m sharing my list below!

March Target Round-Up

March 3, 2020

You know what they say about March…In like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb. Although, living in Michigan, fingers crossed on the lamb part.:). We are tired of our winter clothes and with Spring Break on the horizon, we have been all about Spring and Summer fashion. While we are shopping with many retailers, Target has been a hit with a ton of cute stuff. We thought it would be nice to throw it all in one blog post. Give us a follow on Instagram if you would like to see the try-on videos. It’s saved on our Insta-Story highlights and named Target Haul. Come see our finds!

Cream Sweater Round Up

February 24, 2020

Is it just me or does everyone have a thing for cream sweaters? If my book club is any proof, I’m not alone in my addiction. There were 4 out of 6 of us in cream sweaters at our last meeting! Maybe it’s because cream is flattering on all skin tones or perhaps because it is a brighter color you can wear in the winter, but cream sweaters are everywhere. From the looks of my closet, I’m not allowed to buy any more! There are so many great cream sweaters on sale right now. Read more to see how versatile cream sweaters are and to check out all the looks!

What to Wear to a Rock Concert (or any concert)

February 19, 2020

We are headed to see the Lumineer’s in Chicago this weekend – sooo excited! Do you listen them? They are an American folk rock band based out of Denver, Co and you might recognize some of their more popular songs like “Ho Hey”, “Stubborn Love”, “Ophelia”, and “Cleopatra.” They put on a great live show and we love their music. Give them a listen, The Lumineers station on Pandora is a good one.

It’s always hard to decide what to wear to a concert. You want to look cool (because, Hello, concert!), but you want to be comfy (because, Hello, dancing!). Because it is February in Chicago, I also need to factor in staying warm. When I was coming up with an outfit, I saw lots of different price points for things I was looking at. It inspired me to do a Spend vs. Save on what to wear to a rock concert. You won’t believe some of these Save options!

Feelin’ the love for these tops!
