Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try Ons

July 21, 2017

nordstrom-anniverary-sale-halogen-leopard-mules
I felt like I should title this post "The Sale that Shall not be Named." The Nordstrom Anniversary sale has become so divisive! You either love it or hate it. I totally get that it's overdone but my try on post from last year was one of my best performing posts so I figured you guys like it and that I should do it again. I will only mention it today and promise not to shove it down your throat afterwards. So if you're not interested, we'll see you next week!

Cardigan: Halogen via Nordstrom. Shell: Halogen via Nordstrom. Jeans: J. Crew. Booties: Sole Society (similar). Purse: Forever 21 (similar). Hat: Anthropologie (similar). Sunglasses: Ray-Ban. 
I picked up this lace shell at Nordstrom yesterday and already can tell I'll be wearing it a ton. I overlooked it online, but really loved it in person. Funny how that can happen. This outfit definitely wasn't weather appropriate yesterday (it was in the 80s) but I just wanted to channel fall for a little bit. I said this on Twitter the other day, but pretty much every year after the 4th of July I'm ready for fall. We won't be seeing it any time soon here in California though, so I'll just have to pretend and wear what I want anyway ;)

This weekend was pretty relaxed. We took Louie to the dog park a couple times and it went so well! I was worried that he was going to attack another dog, or get attacked, but he had so much fun and we wore him out for a couple hours, which is a win! Other than that we ran errands and beat the heat inside haha. Not ready for it to be Monday already, but what can you do?

Have a good one!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale/Try on reviews

July 22, 2016


Just in case you don't read any other blogs or possibly live under a rock, you may not have heard that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going on right now and fashion bloggers are going ham (myself included). I figured that a good amount of my readers may not have heard about it, so I thought I'd share my favorite items today now that the sale is open to everyone and not just cardholders. If you've already read a million posts like this one then I won't be offended if you stop reading ;) there are some fit reviews too at the bottom of the post for items I ordered!

Tops/Sweaters 
(this is the absolute best time to stock up on cashmere!)

Skirts/Dresses


Coats


Shoes


Accessories

I apologize for the poor quality photos! I got home from work late and by then the lighting was terrible, but I still wanted to share because I think these are helpful.


This blush pink cardigan is all kinds of perfect. It's very similar to the one I blogged about earlier in the week, but I actually like it better! It's softer and less expensive :) fits TTS, I ordered a medium. I already wore it yesterday!



I wanted to love this blush pink cashmere turtleneck because it's the perfect color at a great price, but I just couldn't get over the asymmetrical cuts on the bottom. It's pretty sheer too. I don't think the pictures online truly reflect what this sweater looks like, so hopefully these pictures help you! I will be returning this item. The fit is TTS, I'm wearing a medium.


This BP camel cardigan is all kinds of amazing for only $32! I know these pictures are terrible, but this looks exactly like the pictures online. It fits TTS if you're looking for a looser fit (wearing a medium) and is extraordinarily soft for such an inexpensive item. I'm considering buying it in another color :) definitely keeping and I can't wait to wear this over a black turtleneck with a skirt and black tights in the fall!

I'm on the fence about this Eliza J ruffle hem fit and flare dress. Help me decide! I love the pictures online and it's nice quality, but I can't decide if I love it on me. It's a little tight in the stomach, which I don't love to show off. I would say it fits TTS, I'm wearing an 8. Can't decide whether to return or keep.



This black Halogen blouse was another case of misrepresentation on the Nordstrom website. You can't see that the sleeves are slit online, and I really didn't like this detail so I will be returning. Again, this fit TTS.


I bought these black Corso Como over the knee boots mostly just to try them on. I had never actually tried OTK boots and wanted to give it a shot with a pair that looked pretty similar to Stuart Wietzmans. I'm honestly torn. I think these are really cute, but I don't know if they're "me." What do you guys think, yay or nay? You can see a little more of these boots on Snapchat (myinnerfabulous) if you're so inclined to help a girl decide!

Will you be shopping the sale? Would love to know what you bought/are going to buy!

Topshop at Nordstrom

June 24, 2016


I was browsing Nordstrom's website the other day, as one does, and was clicking around through all of the Topshop pieces and found myself bookmarking every other item I came across. I love Topshop for basics and fun trendy pieces at a great price. I prefer to shop for the brand at Nordstrom because of their awesome free shipping policy. Anyway, I thought I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't share all of the awesome pieces I came across!

How's your weekend looking? This week was more full of social engagements than normal for me so I'm looking forward to a pretty low key weekend. Louie and I have a brunch date on Saturday, but other than that the plan is to do a ton of reading and catching up on TV. It's going to be hot here so we'll probably stay inside :)

Have a good one!

Fabulous Finds

1. I've been wanting a white blazer for a while, but I have a love-hate relationship with them. However, this little ASOS number is calling my name. 
2. My (very cheap) phone case is starting to fall apart, so this pretty little lady is on her way to my house!
3. Love love love this J. Crew Factory romper.
4. I'm thinking this short sleeved sweater from J. Crew is perfect for CA weather (I've been using that to justify several purchases since I decided to move)!
5. A simple, but chic chambray dress from Loft. 
6. How fun are these sunglasses from Nordstrom?
7. This yellow jacket from J. Crew Factory just screams spring, no?

Phew, what a week. All of my projects/papers/presentations are due next week (#senioryear), so I'm a bit frazzled. This weekend is going to be so good though. One of my best friends is coming to stay for the weekend and we have all sorts of fun things planned, including my going away party!

Hope you have a good weekend!

Le Pantalon

April 8, 2015









Pants: Vince Camuto. Sweater: Halogen (similar). Clutch: Anthroplogie (similar). Shoes: JCPenny's (similar). 

So. These pants. I'm obsessed. I know I say that a lot and it probably has lost some validity but I actually love these. It's probably no surprise to you that I'm loving blush right now, so when I saw Liz wearing these, I purchased them immediately. When you know, you know (lolol). 

I wore this look for Easter and it was the perfect nod to spring while being temperature appropriate (I think it was like 40 degrees). I'm already planning lots of fabulous brunch looks in my head featuring these pants!

*Keeping it real: In all honesty, I will probably hate these pants in a year. They're trendy and not the most flattering, but right now I'm okay with that. 

p.s. If you haven't already, be sure to enter the Shopbop $100 gift card giveaway!

Fabulous Finds

February 20, 2015

1. The cutest eyelet sweater from J. Crew (their new arrivals are amaze)!
2. The chicest drawstring pants I've ever seen from J. Crew (they look cuter in person)!
3. Love these wedged booties from Nordstrom.
4. Just bought these black and bronze New Balance. They've seriously upped their game.
5. This sequined blush sweater from J. Crew is fab. 
6. Now that I've bought one jumpsuit, I want all of the jumpsuits. This one is a cheap chic option from Forever 21. 

This week went by surprisingly fast. Especially since it didn't get above ten degrees all week (hence the lack of outfit posts). I don't have a ton of plans this weekend. Seeing a couple movies before the Oscars (!!!), trying out a (new to me) brewery, brunching, and a bit of homework thrown in for good measure. 

Hope your weekend treats you right!

1. How fab are these Vince Camuto caged booties?
2. Loving these fun sunglasses from F21. 
3. A classic, blush shell from J. Crew Factory. 
4. The perfect tote for spring from Old Navy. 
5. Loving this utility jacket from ON.
6. The perfect basic from J. Crew in a fun color. 

Phew. I talked on Wednesday about being burnt out, so this weekend is very welcome. Let's be honest, when isn't it? I'm so excited because I have almost no plans this weekend. Since Mark is on the other side of the country I get to celebrate Galentine's Day with some of my favorite ladies on Saturday night. It's the best of both worlds!

Enjoy your weekend!

Red and Pink

February 2, 2015






Coat: JOA. Sweater: J. Crew Factory. Jeans: Gap. Purse: Topshop (similar). Snood: Nordstrom (similar). Booties: Sam Edelman. 

I recently had someone ask me how I felt about red and pink paired together and this outfit is my answer: I love it! I think the two shades compliment each other really well. I wear them together all year round, not just for Valentine's Day!

These pictures were taken at the American Swedish Institute over the weekend. It's so beautiful! It's an old mansion turned museum and definitely worth a visit. One of my best friends was in town for the weekend so we visited the museum, went out for drinks, watched movies, ate tons of cheese curds and ice cream, and did lots of catching up.

*Keeping it real: this was day three of not washing my hair so that's why it's looking a little lackluster! I made sure not to pick any pictures that zoomed in too close!
