Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Handbags and Accessories

My eagle shopping eye continues in the Handbags and Accessories department (oh, and I went back to shoes, too)…

Frye 'Heidi' Fringe Hobo Bag/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Bag– Oh, how I love fringe and Frye! I love how fringe can make even your work out clothes look cooler -ha! I love that fringe can add a fun element to any of your outfits, and I especially love how fringe looks with jeans and a tee. That’s why I’m starting with this bag! I think Frye makes such a great quality product. I like that this bag doesn’t have any extra details. It just stands alone as a cool fringe bag! I love the whiskey color, too!

Street Level Python Tote/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Bag– Now, I didn’t actually try this on because it’s online only, but here is what I like about it. First off, I love the price. It’s only $37.90, but nothing screams cheap to me, so I like it even more. I love totes- I wear my Madewell tote practically everyday. It just works for my lifestyle. Plus, python goes with everything, no matter whether your wearing black, brown or camel. My friend taught me this trick.

Halogen® Ombré Leather Envelope Clutch/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Clutch– How cute is this ombre leather envelope clutch? I love that it covers a spectrum of colors- black, brown, cream, grey, silver and a hint of gold. You know what it reminds me of? One of those animal hair clutches that cost an arm and a leg and you are freaked the whole time you’re carrying it that you are going to get something on it! Well, no worries with this clutch, because the price is right. Plus it can be wiped clean.

Street Level Vegan Leather Pocket Tote/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Bag– If you are looking for a carryall tote for the winter, this one seems ideal to me. It’s vegan leather so you don’t have to worry too much about it. It’s big enough to carry your laptop and/or running shoes. Heck, you can even wear it as a purse.

WILDFOX 'Parker' 54mm Sunglasses/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Sunglasses– Well, I tried on quite a few pairs of sunglasses, and these blew all the others I tried on away! What I really love about them is the price. For someone who likes to change out sunglasses and who can’t really keep sunglasses in the case, the price was right. But what I like most is the shape. It’s not overtly cat eye, and it’s not overtly over sized but just the right amount of both. They’re fun, current sunglasses that aren’t at designer prices. I like. And here they are in a fun blue color…

Wildfox 'Parker Deluxe' 54mm Sunglasses / Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Sunglasses– How fun, funky and colorful are these?!?! I bought them for my FUN aunt for her birthday!

Screen Shot 2015-07-16 at 7.56.37 PM

Necklace– Well, if you’ve been following along for any amount of time, then you have probably seen a similar bar necklace on me. I wear it ALL the time! My friend was wearing this one at lunch this week, and I love it! And now it’s on sale! If you’ve had your eye on a bar necklace, this is it.

Nadri Bar Pendant Necklace/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Necklace– I am a sucker for dainty necklaces– I have quite a few. They just seem like a pretty addition to any outfit, dressy or casual. I love to wear them alone. I also love wearing them layered. This one would look great both ways.  Switch them up, or wear them together.

Nordstrom Textured Linear Earrings/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Earrings (left / right)- I am always looking for alternative earrings to my gold hoops. Like my hoops, these aren’t too big or too flashy. To me, they are the perfect gold statement without being too big.

Nadri Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Earrings– I love these because solitaire earrings are a staple that can be worn everyday, but these are different. They are shallow in depth, so they don’t droop off your ear lobe which helps get you the most sparkle possible. I have 2 pairs of solitaire earrings, but I bought these too. I’m a sucker for some really good sparkle!

Nordstrom 'The Finishing Touch' Hammered Hoop Earrings/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Earrings– Alright, although I’m always looking for gold hoop alternatives, I am also always looking for a good priced gold hoop -ha! Well, here they are. Done.

Nadri Medium Inside Out Hoop Earrings / Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Earrings– Gold diamond hoops? What’s not to like? Oh, and if you ask me, Nadri makes the best fake diamond jewelry out there. I’ve had quite a few pieces from them and they sparkle lots. Btw, I just picked up a pair of fake diamond hoops at a jewelry store that were $300!  $39.90 sounds a lot better to me!

Nordstrom 'The Finishing Touch' Hammered Hoop Earrings/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Earrings– Just in case you’re not crazy about the hoop shape (I have a lot of friends that feel this way), these earrings are for you! The price can’t be beat!

Halogen® Windowpane Plaid Blanket Wrap/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Scarf– I’m not sure how many scarves I have, but I do know I wear them ALL the time in the winter, like everyday. This is why a black and white, and a cream and black scarf make sense to me.

Halogen® Cashmere Travel Wrap/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Scarf– About two years ago I purchased my first cashmere sweater. Now I get it. For someone who is cold natured (not in heart, just in temperature -ha!), cashmere actually keeps me warm! Not to mention how soft it is. Just imagine wrapping yourself in the warmest, softest scarf ever!

autumn cashmere Open Cardigan/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Sweater– What’s not to like about a classic, grey, cable knit, cashmere, cardigan (so much goodness in one sweater)?!

Nordstrom Ribbed Open Front Vest/ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Sweater– I can see this going over practically any outfit for an extra layer of warmth. It seems like a really great staple.

Well, I ended up back in the shoe department! I couldn’t help myself!
Stuart Weitzman 'Slidein' Wedge Bootie/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleBooties– I mentioned these in my original shoe post, but I wasn’t able to try them on. Well, I tried them on in Dallas, and I absolutely love them. I love that they are a sturdy wedge (as opposed to a heel), I love that they are not too high,  I love that they can be worn dressy and casually, and I love that they look good with jeans just as well as they would with dresses. Done. I had to have them. They run true to size. The other Stuart Wietzman boots are on sale, too!
BP. 'Lena' Wedge Sandal/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleWedges– Ok, Nordstrom is not fooling me with these, because last fall I fell in love with them while shopping for a client. She bought them, and for an entire year, I’ve wanted them. These are the exact same pair as last year. Well, now I have the perfect excuse! In Houston, I can wear these all year round, and I will -ha! I went up 1/2 a size in these.

The Anniversary Sale was so good this year! I hope my eagle shopping eyes have served you well!

    I’ve noticed TOMS makes a similar tall wedge booties… do you think the Stuart Wietzmans are worth the extra money? They look so similar online…

      Hi, That’s totally up to the buyer. I felt like the Stuart Wietzman booties were a little dressier. I hope this helps.

You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this picture? It's kinda embarrassing to admit that they’re all I could see at first when I was cutting these hydrangeas from my yard- all the ugly brown, dry spots. As I brought them inside to throw away, I saw them all in my arms and thought, “Wait, these are really pretty all together. How could I just dismiss these so quickly?” Well, it's no surprise to me why I could dismiss them so quickly being the enneagram 1/perfectionist I am, but this was such a good reminder that if I choose to see beyond all the little imperfections in my life how much richer and more beautiful my life becomes! I hope someday I won't even notice those brown spots, but I also have grown to appreciate that God gave me an eye to try and make my world  and life a better place. I just gotta keep it in check and not dismiss the whole lot of hydrangeas for the little brown spots. This is a really beautiful, loving life if I'm looking for it.
I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announci I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announcing their tag sale that starts today (an extra 30% off sale items) and noticed that this jumpsuit I purchased and have not had the chance to post was part of the sale. When I don’t feel like putting together an outfit, I gravitate towards one piece outfits- like a jumpsuit/romper or a dress, which seems to happen more and more during this time at home. Putting together two pieces to make an outfit feels like so much work these days! Plus, I look fully dressed without much effort, and you know I like that. Anyway, there are so many cute one piece options on sale! Then, I noticed that so many items I found and loved during this same shopping trip are included in the sale! The good stuff goes fast, so head to my stories for links to what else I found!  #myanthropologie #sponsored http://liketk.it/2QXVm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip
Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’ Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’s hot and downright uncomfortable to be outside on metal bleachers, I love it! Do y’all feel the same? And I have missed it! To see your son and his buddies make a really great play just gets my mom heart. I actually got goosebumps last weekend after a play. I know, I am a total dork. Now, I know from experience that if you’re not prepared for the games, you can get quite uncomfortable. As you all know, I am practical to a fault. So in preparation for my next few weeks and weekends that will be spent at the ball fields, I thought I’d share on the blog and on stories today what I think are the 7 necessities to enjoy yourself despite the conditions. I hope they can be of use to you during these toasty summer days outdoors! http://liketk.it/2QUiC

For the last couple of years, finding a versatile For the last couple of years, finding a versatile cover-up has felt practically impossible. Especially since ruffles, puff sleeves, and bows are where it's at with swimsuits right now. It felt like I was trying to buy a cover-up for every swimsuit (ummm, no), which forced me to put on my thinking cap. I finally found my perfect solution!!! SCARVES (aka sarong's)! I'm calling them scarves because I love the idea of using the scarves I already have in my closet as cover ups! Or wearing the sarong you have as a scarf! Not to mention, there are so many more darling scarves out there than there are sarongs and cover ups, and in my mind, they are just waiting to be used as coverups! Plus, typically scarves are less expensive! When I saw this darling rainbow scarf, I knew that I wanted to wear it immediately with this swimsuit top.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked a few scarves I'm loving that I think would be great as a cover-ups. I didn't have a chance to check the measurements on all these scarves, so make sure that they're big enough! http://liketk.it/2QzmV #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKswim #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #styletip #swim #coverup #swimcoverup #summerstyle
I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I' I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I'm in love with a lot of these statement swimsuit tops that are out right now. But, I am not in love with the price tag! So, I've come up with a solution! I buy the statement top, and then I buy my swimsuit bottoms from Old Navy! Their swimsuit bottoms fit well, and it's fun to be able to mix and match! In this picture, I'm wearing a designer swimsuit top with my Old Navy bottoms. And since Old Navy has so many different cuts and styles of bottoms, you can find the right fit for you and mix and match the bottoms with your favorite tops! For instance, if you have a red swimsuit top, how cute would they be with blue and white polka dot bottoms for the 4th? Or you could pair your red top with the red and white stripe bottoms. I don't think it matters much if there is a little color variation. Once the swimsuit is wet the colors change, anyway! I'm so excited about this trick, I can hardly stand it! Can you tell?! If you utilize this trick, please tag me or send me a picture. It would make my day!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For sizing reference, my personal favorite are Old Navy's bikini bottoms. I wear either a small or medium depending on how I feel that day. But like I said, they have all different cuts for bottoms, so you can find the one that's right for your body type. http://liketk.it/2Qzjx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKswim #styletip #stylist #houstonstylist #summerfashion #fashiontips #stylehacks
You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought this top after I posted about my favorite tops for summer on the blog. I know that off the rack clothing rarely fits perfectly. I usually end up returning online orders and go on the search for that perfect top, but unfortunately, that usually comes with a high designer price tag, not to mention hours of searching. Now in COVID times, returns are more difficult, and I don't have the liberty to just go in stores to search for that perfect top. It's definitely giving me a "make it work” attitude, which is really working out well for me! For instance, this top was shown on the model with an open back that tied with a bow and a bra looking front (swipe right). I used a tack stitch on the bottom of the bra part to provide more coverage and wrapped the bow to the front so my back is covered and my front has more coverage. I paired it with my sister's (@tellittoyourneighbor) and my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts. They're a great denim short option for all shapes, and if you want more length, you can keep them unrolled. And I love how my new favorite @espacio_popupshop MAC bracelets tie it all together! Now, let's talk about how I really want to get a hot glue gun out and make a dope mirror like this one! I don't have seashells. I wonder what else I could use? Hmmmm... http://liketk.it/2Qz5I #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #diy #diyfashion #freepeople #agolde @freepeople @agolde
I love the changes I see happening in our country, I love the changes I see happening in our country, and I don't want them to end. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. All of this progress feels so right. I feel it so deeply in my soul. I'm all in on all of this kind of LOVE. I want to be a part of the change, and I plan to do so in my own little way, but I am taking a cue from @beabridgebuilder founder @latashamorrison and pressing the pause button. I will stand in a place of awareness and humility and learn. But one thing I've realized that I've done in the past that hasn't been helpful is staying quiet for fear that, out of my ignorance, my words would offend a Black friend and that I would be corrected. (In fact, I would always say "African American" for fear that "Black" was offensive. I learned that's not the case.) My silence didn't help anyone. So, I go forward knowing that out of my ignorance, I will make mistakes and will unintentionally offend, but I won't let my fear and self preservation get in the way of trying to help. If I make a mistake, I can learn and say I'm sorry. I'm a big girl now, and I want change. If the change leads to me being humbled, I'm ok with that. I won't stay silent anymore.
