Ok people. In less than 3 hours, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts and you need to get ready. Not exactly sure what this sale is? You’re not alone — I can honestly say that last year was the first year I had the chance to shop the sale, and it was incredible.

Nordstrom is the only retailer that take exclusive fall fashion and offers them at a fraction of the price — you can get some serious deals during this sale, and the best part is is that the sale doesn’t open to the public until July 17th — meaning that if you’re a Nordstrom card holder, you can shop the sale before everyone else from July 9-16. Products are limited, so many of the best deals sell out during this period – so make sure you sign up for the card! It’s well worth it for the early sale access alone.

I’m currently eyeing these Nadri ear crawlers for $35 $22.90, these Stuart Weitzman boots for $625 $399, and this Rebecca Minkoff crossbody for $225 $144

Sale starts bright and early, so make sure you get the good stuff before it sells out! Happy shopping, and let me know what you score!

romper: take a peek floral romper // sandals: zara (similar here)

I wouldn’t say that this romper is something I would normally pick out, but something about the light blue color mixed with the floral pattern and the fun cut out was calling my name so I felt like I had to give it a try [Also, the price was right at just under $60 (!)] The romper arrived and the colors were so pretty in person — I also loved that I could easily wear this all summer – as a coverup or all by itself!

shirt: anthropologie gingham buttondown // jeans: dl1961 ’emma’ in milk // shoes: converse // earrings: gorjana ear crawlers // purse: local market in France (similar here)

Snapped these pics before we headed out to the ranch to eat hotdogs, swim and be with friends and family. As soon as I saw this light blue gingham shirt in Anthropologie, I knew it would be perfect for the 4th of July. Paired it with jeans in the morning, and then pretty quickly changed into white jean cutoff shorts (it was hott!) I showed it tied up so you can see it can easily be worn two ways! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!
