SHOPBOP Friends and Family Sale!

I don't know how your brain works, but when mine hears SALE, I tend to think, what expensive item have I had on the back-burner but didn't want to pay full price for?  The answer is always a quality hand bag. Whether  it's a great tote for work, a cute little crossbody (you all know and love my quilted Minkoff) or an awesome backback that will get tons of use during the summer, it's always my number-one choice for a splurge.

Not too often do all my favorite handbag lines go on sale, but you can get them all starting today at 25% off with code SPRING25 at SHOPBOP's big Friends and Family Sale . If I were you, I'd let the splurging begin NOW!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: My Picks

It's the most wonderful time of the summer, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Nordstrom does a pretty amazing job of making my commoner self feel super-special just for having a shiny piece of plastic. They let you peek inside the tiny curtained areas to grab an early-access preview (July 10-17) of all the seriously discounted merch that we will all be thankful we got our hands on so early come Fall. If you aren't a cardholder, get your shopping list in order because you can shop the sale when it opens to the public starting on July 18th!

I have put together some of my favorite items from the sale below, including my most favorite stud earrings that mimic my engagement ring (I own two pairs of the earrings in case something ever happens to the first pair) and this new Michael Kors watch that I think will make a bold statement with all my back-to-school Fall outfits.

Shop some of my favorites from each of my favorite categories below! And check out my Pinterest board dedicated to the sale as well!

The Sale Is On!

Do you have nothing planned this weekend? Are you looking for something fun to do that involves spending way too much money? Do you enjoy mass shopping chaos? Well go to the Nordstrom anniversary sale! In stores and online starts today! Last night they even closed down the Nordstrom site! I guess they are planning for it to be Missoni-for-Target BIG!

If you're crazy like me, you went bright and early to the Michigan Avenue store on the 11th to the early access sale for card holders! Here are my buys from the sale.That bangle set has made an appearance on my wrist in some shape or form everyday this week. And those Sam Edelman "Petty" boots are so soft and practical for the Fall, I had to buy them in 2 colors! Hope you get a chance to check the sale out yourself! 

Have a great weekend!

                    What I wore to the sale: Sandals Sam Edelman Trina, Maxi skirt Forever 21(old), Tee Zara sale last week $15, Watch La Mer, Bullet Necklace
