8. Booties: $15 Everyone needs a classic white bootie in their closet.  So fun in the fall but also spring and summer with dresses and shorts.  Wear now and later.

Nordstrom Anniversary Looks For Less (Under $35!) Part 1

If you follow any fashion bloggers/influencers on social media you definitely know that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going on.  I am not a frequent Nordstrom shopper, I do browse their clearance occasionally but they have always been a little too pricey for me.  With the sale being such a hot topic I figured I would round up some pieces that give the Nordstrom vibe for WAY less.  All these items are less than $35.

1. Striped tote: $19 I have this one on my wishlist.  I love the classic stripe print.  There is a striped tote like this in the sale for SO much more.  This one is affordable and super cute!

2. Leopard pullover: $26 Giving off all the Barefoot Dreams vibes and who doesn't need a cozy leopard pullover in their life??

3. Mules: $27 There is a pair of chain mules in the sale that EVERYONE is talking about.  Now these don't have the bulky chain detail but they are a classic nude mule with gold bit that is sure to go with EVERYTHING!

4. Initial tag necklace: $11 These have been super popular for a while.  I love mine!  It looks great on its own or layered up with other necklaces.

5. Leopard slip-ons: $14 These shoes are sure to sell out!  I saw them in person at my Wal-Mart the other day and they are so comfy!  Slip-ons with a sherpa lining, perfect for comfort and warmth.

6. Cowl Neck Sweater: $16 You can't go wrong with a classic cowl neck sweater.  Size up for a more oversized fit or keep your true size for a more classic vibe.

7. Leopard Cardigan: $23 This cardigan looks so much more expensive than it is.  I love the pattern and the draped detail is so chic.

8. Peplum henley: $22 If it is a peplum I am down.  I love the waffle knit henley version of this one.

9. Leopard mules: $14 These come in a few other colors if leopard isn't your thing.  I love this pattern and the heel adds a little umph to your mule.

10. Stone charm bracelet: $16 So pretty!  Would look perfect on its own or layered up.  Gives me Kendra Scott vibes.

11. Leggings: $22 for a pack of 3!  These are a total steal!  I have heard they are similar to a Lululemon pair.

12. Peplum top: $8.99 Again you just can't go wrong with a peplum.  I love this relaxed top, may or may not be in my Amazon cart right now...

13. Booties: $32 There is a much more expensive pair of booties like these in the sale right now.  These are a total lookalike for a fraction of the price!  So flattering with the nude color, heel and cutout detail.

14. Leopard blanket: $34 A must-have for the Nordstrom sale every year!  This super soft blanket is such a good lookalike and it comes in multiple color options.

Let me know if  you score any of these deals and check back for my Part 2 coming soon!  I had way too much fun finding items that I found more to share.

Splurge vs. Save: Valentino Rockstud Heels

I have been a fan of the coveted Valentino Rockstud style heels for years but would never pay almost $1,000 for a pair of heels.  DSW coming in with one of my favorite dupes!

Valentino Rockstud Slingback Heels $995 | Alright so the quality is there, leather and all.  I have heard from a few reviews that they are a not the most comfortable.

DSW Liraven Studded Pumps $39.99 | How close are these shoes?  I have been eyeing them for a while and finally just went ahead and purchased them and I have zero regrets!  They are gorgeous!  For heels they really aren't uncomfortable, I sized up 1/2 a size for a little more room.  The nude color is really flattering and the studs add just a little edge.  Now I just need somewhere to wear them...

Look for Less: Adidas Swift Run Leopard Sneakers

I promised a look for less and this one is a GOOD ONE!  

I saw so many instagramers show off these Adidas leopard sneakers last year and for good reason, they are so stinking cute!  With such a following they are constantly sold out and if you can find them in stock they are around $85.  I found a dupe for less than $20!

Adidas Swift Run Leopard $84.99: Are they more comfortable and better quality, yes.  If you are wearing these for working out and walking miles these might be a better option for you.  If you are just looking for a cute pair of shoes I'd say try the dupe first. 

Athletic Works Leopard Sneakers $18.98: How cute are these??  They have a memory foam sole so they are comfortable, no the quality doesn't match the Adidas pair but they are a fraction of the cost.  For a cute shoe to wear running errands and walking around, I'm fine with that.  I found that they run about 1/2 a size big.  I am normally a 6.5 and I liked the fit of the 6 best.  

Walmart Fall Fashion Finds for Less Than $30

Alright I have been really slacking on my blog posts yet again.  Things have been busy and I'm out of the habit.  I did have to share these Walmart finds that I am obsessed with for fall!  Also all of these finds are less than $30!!

Thermal peplum top: For $13 this Free People dupe is a MUST-HAVE!!!  Perfectly flowy with a flattering peplum and cozy waffle knit.  I want every color!

Star Glitter Sneakers: These shoes are all over Instagram and for good reason.  They are a great Golden Goose dupe and are only $16!

Faux Suede Moto Jacket: A gorgeous moto jacket for $24?  Y'all you really can't beat that!  Looks like the BlankNYC version that everyone wanted during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but for a fraction of the price.

Heeled Boots: These boots are so gorgeous for fall and look way more expensive than their $24.  Perfect for pairing with dresses, leggings or denim.

Leopard Dress: Leopard is a must have for fall and this leopard dress is the perfect way to incorporate it into your wardrobe.  This one would also be really cute with the moto jacket.  Looks like Nordstrom for $29.

Leopard Sneakers: Again you really can't go wrong with leopard, its a great neutral.  These sneakers have memory foam insoles so they are super comfy and the leopard trim is a trendy accent.  Also they are only $16!

Sherpa Vest: A cozy sherpa vest for only $10?!?  Y'all Walmart has got it for fall!  These give off Patagonia vibes for way less!

Wedge Boots: Another crazy good dupe for you.  These wedge boots look like a pair of Sorel wedge boots that are upwards of $150, these guys will only set you back $29.

Sherpa Pullover: These sherpa pullovers were a must have last year at Walmart and they brought them back in more colors!  They are only $19 and are crazy soft!  I pretty much live in my sherpa pullovers when it gets cold.  Trust me if you don't have one you NEED to grab this one!

So many good finds at Walmart this season, let me know what you manage to snag!

Friday Favorites

Back with a Friday favorites!  These are the things I have been obsessed with lately and wanted to share them with you so you can share the obsession.

Twisted Cable Bracelet: I'm all about a good designer dupe, this twisted x cable bracelet is a new favorite for sure!  I love the look of the Yurman bracelets but that price is crazy high, these bracelets are $20 and I'm obsessed!  They feel great and fit my wrist really well.

Blame it on my roots top: If I can wear my boots I'm a happy girl.  I love my cowgirl boots.  As soon as I saw this top I knew I had to have it!  This color is so cute and the fit is great.  Super comfy and perfect for showing off my country side. 

Metallic snake sneakers: Meet my new favorite sneakers!!  I have been really enjoying the trendy Golden Goose inspired sneakers going around.  These have the cutest metallic snake print and just a little bit of sparkle.  They are really comfy and I have been pretty much living in them!  Don't miss out on these guys!

Rose lip gloss: I just picked up this gloss a few days ago and I am already in LOVE!!  I heard that it was a dupe for the FENTY Gloss Bomb so I really wanted to try it out.  It was on sale at Walgreens so I decided to pick it up.  Y'all this stuff feels amazing!!  It gives your lips a healthy, pretty glow but its not sticky at all.  

Better Call Saul: We recently finished Breaking Bad and needed another show so we started this one.  If you are a fan of Breaking Bad give this one a try.  It has the same style but more of a drama, not quite as harsh and intense as Breaking Bad.  I am really enjoying the exploration of characters from Breaking Bad that I liked, Saul being top. 

There's my weekly favorites, let me know what you have been loving! 

Look for Less: Ruffle Trim Wedges

I've got another look for less for you!  It's no secret that I love a good deal, why spend more when you can get the same look for less??

Marc Fisher Ruffle Wedges $50: Honestly, these ruffle wedges aren't a terrible price, but when you can save $30 why wouldn't you?

Time and Tru Ruffle Wedges $20: Faux suede, ruffle detail, ankle strap, only difference is the Marc Fisher pair have an espadrille wedge and these are cork. 

If you are going for a more quality shoe, the extra $30 may be worth it to you.  If you are looking for a cute wedge with a little flirty detail save some cash and go for the dupe.

Look for Less: Woven Mules

These are some of my very favorite blog posts to write as well as read, I'm all for a good dupe!

 I've got a couple dupe posts coming up so make sure you stick around!!

I have seen so many bloggers post pictures of these Sam Edelman woven mules and they are so chic...they are also $100.  While looking through Walmart I found a pretty close dupe for almost 90% off!!

Sam Edelman Clara Woven Mule $100: Obviously the quality of this pair is better, real leather and delicate woven detailing, but the price is way more than I am willing to pay. 

Big Buddha Woven Mule $15: These shoes are such a great dupe!  Get the chic woven look for WAY less!!

Splurge vs. Save: Ugg Luci Bow Mules

It has been a while since I have done a look for less post.  I have seen people post about these UGG Luci Bow Mules on instagram and I loved the feminine vibe.  When I saw these pink bow mules from none other than Walmart I knew I had to pick them up.  Y'all these mules are so cute and perfect for spring!!  They are kids sizing but I am normally a 7 in mules and I got a size 5.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac: This is the classic Rebecca Minkoff bag, perfect for everyday and such an easy bag to throw on with every outfit.  At almost $200 it is a little bit of a splurge.

Vivian Crossbody: I spotted this dupe in store and couldn't believe how nice it was.  Granted it doesn't have the stud details on the strap or bottom of the bag but the other details are pretty close.  For less than $15 you really can't beat it!  They also have it in a few more colors.

New Spring Finds at Wal-Mart (fashion, home, etc.)

Spring is coming and Wal-Mart is popping out new stuff.  They just came out with a new line Time and Tru and guys it is awesome!!  I love taking a walk through Wal-Mart to see all the new products they have coming out and check out some clearance.  A lot of these are also available online, if I can find them I'll link them :)

Guys these jeans are so nice!  That released hem!!  These are all under $20 as well. 

Those star jeans!!!  I am obsessed with these!!  Stars are having a moment right now and these pants are perfect for spring.  They also have a little distressing and unfinished hem.

Pretty embroidery gets me every time.  These are a boyfriend fit and are so cute.  

It's high quality embroidery guys, so pretty! 

Wal-Mart always has cute hidden gem (haha) jewelry.  When I walked through this past time they weren't so hidden, I wanted all of it!  How nice is this druzy necklace for less than $3???

Time and Tru also has jewelry and guys it is so nice!!

Druzy layered necklace for $5!

This one was so interesting, I loved all the textures!

It's official Time and Tru is my new favorite Wal-Mart brand!!

How cute is this backpack???  I love the rainbow gradient!

These tote bags are available every year but they are so classic.  Faux pebbled leather, so many colors and they are reversible so you get two colors in one.  They look and feel really nice and remind me of Madewell...but they are $10.  

This color is really pretty for spring.

This was probably one of my absolute favorite finds from Wal-Mart this trip...does this look like Kate Spade or what??  These dome tassel crossbody bags are my favorite!  Oh and they are less tan $15!!!

You may recognize this one from my instagram and blog posts (Five Things Friday, What I got for my Birthday).  This bag is one of my new favorites!!  Such great quality and the perfect size.

How cute are these metal farmhouse inspired buckets??  

If you haven't tried the Ozark Trail tumblers yet and you are a fan of Yeti, definitely check these out!!  We have a couple in our house and they work just as well as the Yetis that we have. 

These tumblers started out wit just silver and then got a few more colors.  I am so excited that they now have super chic, gorgeous colors!!  How pretty are those colors???

Guys, how fun are these crossbody bags???  They would be so cute to wear to Disney ;)  They would also be really cute to throw on just for a fun detail.  I am loving that popcorn one.

Rebecca Mikoff lookalikes for less than $15!!  These crossbody bags are so pretty and they come in all kinds of different colors.  This holographic one is so fun!!

They also have metallic ones like this rose gold one.

This ring crossbody looks really trendy and is less than $15!

This T-shirt dress is so pretty for spring, the floral print is so pretty!!  This one is less than $10!

These mules are from last season but I wanted to share that they were on clearance.  I actually waited and mine just went down to $5 so I had to pick up a pair.  I feel like you can still wear these in the spring as they are open back.

Have you found any good items at Wal-Mart lately?  Let me know down below.

Splurge vs. Save: Dolce Vita Baz Mule

Leopard is a neutral and I am all about it!

Dolce Vita Baz Espadrille Mules: These leopard mules are so cute, their stitching details are so pretty and obviously nicer than the dupe.

DV Elaine Espadrille Mules: Honestly I think I might prefer the dupes to the real thing.  I like the spot pattern and shape on this version a little bit better.  These shoes have been all over instagram and I fell like they are going to be pretty big for spring and summer.  I have a pair on my list.

Splurge vs. Save: Chloe Marcie Satchel

Y'all know I am all about a good dupe, why pay more when you can get the same look for so much less??

Chloe Marcie: This bag is one of my favorite designer bags, my if only bag...I just could never (ever) spend almost $2K on a bag.  I love the shape and style of this bag and am constantly looking for bags that give the same look.

Destin Satchel: I finally found a dupe that comes pretty close.  Similar shape and details, the top handles are different but for the price I think I can live with the difference.  This one is from Sole Society comes in three colors and is $69.95  These sold out crazy fast last year so pick one up quick!!

Too Faced Natural Palette Dupe for $4!!

I am all about getting a good deal and am all for a good dupe.  No shame in my dupe game.

I love the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette, my husband got it for me for my birthday one year.  I have had it for about two years and it is still going strong.  It is the perfect everyday palette and I pretty much always travel with it.

I was shopping on Forever21 for Black Friday and saw this Night and Day Eyeshadow palette.  First of all the packaging was so pretty and it definitely looks a lot like the Too Faced palette.  P.S. this is $3.99!!

Side by side they don't look exactly the same but swatched they are pretty close.

Here they are swatched, Forever21 is on top and Too Faced is on bottom.  As you can tell the colors are really similar.  Of course the Too Faced shadows are creamier and more pigmented, but the Forever21 shadows aren't bad.  The Too Faced palette is almost $40 while the Forever21 palette is pretty much 90% off at $3.99.  This would make a really great gift for someone just getting into makeup.  It is a really nice palette for neutral looks.

Have you tried this palette?  Have you tried any other Forever21 makeup products?
