Let's Catch Up! + $500 Nordstrom GIVEAWAY!

Skirt: J. Crew || Tee: old, similar here || Sandals: Sam Edelman Gigi || 42mm Apple Watch with This Band || Bangles: Bourbon and Bowties || Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne

Happy Wednesday friends! I feel like I have so much to catch up with you on- so let's get to some super random ramblings, shall we?

My girl Biana recently recommended the new show The Bold Type, and after episode 1 I was hooked! It's like a mix of Sex and the City & How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and such a fun show! It's loosely based on Joanna Coles (the Editor in Chief of Cosmo) so it's a peek behind the scenes of a women's fashion and lifestyle magazine (although let's be real- it's totally exaggerated!) - but I love it regardless. There's only three episodes so far, so still plenty of time if you want to catch up.

Dressing Room Diaries: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Edition

Happy Happy Friday friends!!! Why am I so excited about today? Because today is the first day the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public- and I have my first post to share! yippee!! Last weekend Sarah & I headed to the store and couldn't stop laughing as we tried on all the things! One of the things that was most important to me was finding pieces that I didn't have to wait to wear- I mean who wants to wait three months to pull out their new purchases?! Not this girl! #InstantGratification

I can't wait to share what I found with y'all- so grab your coffee and let's hit the dressing room!

Eliza J Floral Bell Sleeve Wrap Dress (Sale- $91.90/Reg Price- $138) - Oh goodness y'all, all the heart-eyes for this one!! This is an absolutely perfect work dress- whether you work in a casual office or a more "gussied-up" one this piece is beyond perfection! Sarah works in a more formal office and me in a more fashion-oriented office and we both scooped this one up! I'm wearing a 6P.

The Colorful Romper Your Closet Needs! + A $1000 GIVEAWAY

Romper: Lilly Pulitzer Klea Romper (can also be found here) || Sandals: Palm Beach Sandals || Tassel Earring: Fab'rik South Tampa || Clutch: Sophie & Trey (old, similar option here- under $25!) || Apple Watch

Hey y'all! There is not better way to start off a brand new week than this bright & happy romper! Summertime is basically synonymous with Lilly Pulitzer and I was smitten the moment I saw this brand new romper! As I'm sure you ladies can agree, off the shoulder tops can be hard to wear (hello limited range of arm motion)- so I love a sassy cold-shoulder! Another winning factor of this piece? The breathable cotton fabric (can I get an ah-men?)! This girl doesn't enjoy sweating in a poly-blend ;) All you need are some lightweight tassel earrings & your favorite sandals and you're ready for a day downtown. I'm definitely ready for more summer fun to come!

PS- Keep reading to the end of this post for an AMAZING $1000 giveaway!! Eek! So much fun!

Best of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Women's Dresses

Well friends, happy Friday! If you looked at the internet at all yesterday you couldn't have missed the news that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access started- and man oh man are the deals insanely good!! I was hoping I could have a post ready for y'all as soon as the sale launched, but alas this girl has a full-time job and needed to sleep at 3am ;) But don't worry, I poured over every page of the sale and have rounded up the best of the best: my very favorites from the #NSale!
(Remember you have to have a Nordstrom card to shop the Early Access sale, it opens to the public on July 22)

First up, today we're tackling the best of the best in dresses! It's no secret that I live year-round in dresses; one piece dressing is so easy. You just pull on a dress and boom! You look fabulous! What I love about many of the pieces in this year's sale is that they are great for now and later. Since they are lightweight, you can rock them with sandals through the summer, and then come fall layer them with a fab fur vest and booties!

Billabong Floral Shift Dress ($54.95, $34.90) // Angie Print Caftan Dress ($48, $31.90) // Mimi Chica Floral Romper ($48, $31.90) // Cece Scalloped Shift Dress ($148, $98.90) // Cece Bouquet Floral Trapeze Dress ($125, $85.90) // Angie Printed Shift Dress ($48, $31.90)
