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 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!

AG Jeans on Sale

January 29, 2020

Sale Alert!  Have you tried AG Denim?  I love a good deal just as much as the next girl, but when it comes to denim, I don’t mind spending more.  AG is hands down my favorite designer denim brand.  The fit is flattering and the jeans are comfortable.  Zappos has lots of styles on sale right now so I wanted to share!  Not sure how long the sale will last or how quickly sizes will go, but there are some good finds as of now!

Gorgeous Jewelry that is Affordable – thanks to Amazon!

December 6, 2019

I know you guys love Amazon fashion – have you ever ordered their jewelry?  I was in need of some new jewelry last spring/summer so thought I would give Amazon a try.  I loved the earrings I received and wore them all the time!  I even did a post on 10 Statement (but Neutral) earrings under $15.  Many are still available and you can read the post here.  Looking for a few new pieces for fall and winter, I turned to Amazon again.  I am thrilled with the look and quality of everything I ordered and wanted to share!  The best part is everything is under $20!   These would be perfect for a friend, teacher, or favorite things party, too!

Why You Need a Good Day Dress

August 2, 2019

Does anyone else feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?  At this stage in our lives, whether you work outside or inside the home, we are BUSY!  When you have active children, it can be hard to fit everything in.  Minutes are short when you’re getting ready in the morning, and who has time to stop and think about looking stylish and cute? #aintnobodygottimeforthat. This is where the Day Dress comes in.  There are so many reasons why a good day dress is a closet staple.

 

The Beauty of a Day Dress

It’s easy!  A day dress is the wardrobe’s version of your favorite one stop shop.   You don’t need to think about what top goes with what bottoms, you just put the dress on and Boom, you’re ready to go!🙌. Throw on a pair of sandals, grab your purse, and you’re out the door.  Sign me up for anything that makes life easier!

I posted this one the ‘gram and it was a hit!  It’s one of my favorites, too!  Every time I wear it, I receive compliments.  It has the cutest back and I might have worn it 2 days in a row.🤩

The stay at home order is starting to remind me of The stay at home order is starting to remind me of when I was grounded as a kid.  I have actually found comfort in that.  Seems like the world operated at a much slower pace back then.  Remember how cool MTV was, especially during spring break?! This MTV shirt reminds me of my youth, and I’m just going to appreciate the slower pace for the next few weeks while we fight this nasty 🦠. Stay safe and stay healthy out there.
