Nordstrom SALE!

nordstrom sale

Has it really been three weeks since my last post? How embarrassing. In any event, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale CANNOT be ignored. I just finished scrolling through pages and pages of sale awesomeness and wanted to share with you some of my top picks! If you have a Nordstrom card you can shop now with early access to the sale through July 21.

Caslon – Print Split Neck Blouson Dress on sale for $49 (reg. $79). I love dresses and the color of this one transitions from summer to fall easily. As the temps drop just add a denim jacket or cardigan and/or tights and boots and voila! Also comes in black and white.

FOREO – ‘LUNA mini’ Compact Facial Cleansing Device on sale for $74 (reg. $99). I have one of these and I love it! It’s particularly great for travel since it dries quickly and holds a charge for months.

Topshop – Hooded Colorblock Duster Cardigan on sale for $56 (was $85). Living in San Francisco there is a constant threat of chilly fog rolling in. This hooded duster would be perfect!

Vince Camuto – ‘Peera’ Cutout Bootie on sale for $99 (reg. $149). How cute are these? Wear them now without socks and as the weather turns cooler pair them with tights. They’d look awesome with dresses as well as cuffed boyfriend jeans.

Soft Joie – ‘Lilyana’ Roll Sleeve Shirtdress on sale for $145 (reg. $218). Another dress that can easily transition from summer to fall. Love everything about it.

Tom Ford – ‘Alicia’ 59mm Sunglasses on sale for $253 (reg. $380). Who doesn’t need some oversized glasses? They ooze glamour with a hint of drama. Tom Ford is genius.

BP – Open Front Cardigan on sale for $31 (reg. $48) and a hooded version is also on sale for $44 (reg. $68). These cardigans are perfect to combat: the San Francisco fog, chilly airplanes, over air-conditioned offices, and fall breezes. And they look smart with skinny jeans and sleek flats.

Hinge – ‘Cora’ Block Heel Sandal on sale for $66 (reg. $99). Versatile sandal in a neutral color. Again, looks great with dresses, jeans, rompers, etc.

Soprano – Stripe Rib Knit Midi Dress on sale for $24 (reg. $38). This dress caught my attention because of its options options options… Pair it with flip flops poolside; some white tennies and denim jacket to run errands; a white crop sweater and sandals for brunch– so many options! And it’s less than $25?!?!

Happy shopping!

spring suede shoe obsessions

suede shoes

Soft suede just oozes elegance and femininity- unless its heavily fringed or studded and then it may take on more of a hippy or native american vibe. Suede was a prominent trend in the 2015 spring/summer shows, and I would love to see it keep going and going… particularly with shoes!

My current spring suede shoe obsessions (left to right, top to bottom)-

Steve Madden “Kitty” Ghillie Sandal – $89 at Nordstrom. I actually just bought these this past weekend. The laces are on trend, and the low block heel give a little lift while staying casual and comfy. I’m heading to Napa for a girlie weekend this Friday and these are definitely coming with!

Klub Nico “Tarina” Gladiator Sandal – $199 at Nordstrom. With a little bit more of a heel, petite studs, and laser cutouts, this is maybe the girliest ‘gladiator’ sandal ever. It’s a great neutral color and pairs just as great with dresses as it does with jeans. These heels are also sold at Anthropologie for $240 (see Jordana Heels).

Manolo Blahnik BB 105 Suede Point-Toe Pumps in Cobalt – $595 at Saks. I heart these shoes so much. I’ve lusted after them for more than a year now. I’ve even talked friends into buying them. What’s so great about them? The color. Go see them in person. The color is simply amazing. I think I may need to add these blue suede shoes to my closet this season 😉

Stuart Weitzman Nudistsong – $398 at Stuart Weitzman. A simple, clean, classic, and sexxxy sandal. The cut on these is just perfect. The heel is a bold straight line to elongate your leg, and the toe strap is slightly angled to display those perfectly pedicured toes. The Nudistsong is the wearable version of the super hot Nudist sandal. If you want a super sexy sandal for sitting, get the Nudist. If you want to be able to walk and dance and strut around, go for the Nudistsong.

Happy shopping!

the caged heel

caged heel

The caged heel is THE current “it” shoe, and with its striking design it’s easy to see why! There are tons of brand, color, and cost options for this style making it super hard to pick just one. In fact, I love this trend so much I’ve already snatched up a couple pairs… and may even pick up a third.

caged heel - mossimo

Mossimo ‘Kylea’ Mossimo ‘Kylea’ – $35 at Target in black and taupe . Love the trend but don’t want to spend top dollar? These are the way to go! No they’re not real suede, and yes the sole is rubber– but for $35 they’re spot on trend and on budget!

caged heel - steve madden

Steve Madden ‘Slithur’ – $109 (on sale for $98!) at Macy’s. If a range of colors is what you’re after, Steve Madden has you covered. Leather upper with manmade sole, but who’s looking at the bottoms anyway?

caged heel - vince camuto

Vince Camuto ‘Kristana’ – $119 at Nordstrom in black and turquoise. Additional colors (nude and pink) available at Vince Camuto (also on sale!) A slightly different design, bit sexier heel, leather upper, and synthetic sole.

caged heel - schutz

Schutz ‘Juliana’ – $190 (on sale for $133!) at Saks in black, natural, and sporty pink . The creme de la creme of lot. A still sexier heel with suede upper and leather sole.

Which ones are your perfect match?
