Splurge vs. Save: Dolve Vita Zonya Sneakers + 50% OFF TARGET SNEAKERS!!!

 

 

Dolce Vita is one of my favorite shoe brands but they are definitely on the pricey side.  They have so many fun and unique designs!  I have been eyeing the high top sneaker trend (still not sure if I can pull them off yet or not) but I am into it.  Target is always top of the game for good dupes and these are really close!  They have the gold detailing, black back accent and side zip.  They are just missing the traditional Dolce Vita arrow design but for the price difference I don't even mind.  To sweeten this deal even more Target has a MAJOR SALE going on right now:

ALL TARGET SHOES ARE 50% OFF!!  

They are selling out FAST so snag them while you can.  I wanted to try out the trend so I picked up a pair of high tops, I ended up with the gray version and I'll let you know what I think. 

 Let me know how you would rock the high top trend and if you manage to snag any shoe deals!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dupes

Instagram is full of influencers talking all about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  If you are a regular Nordstrom price point shopper the deals are actually pretty good.  My everyday price point is definitely not at the Nordstrom level so I like to find look-alike items for way less!

Snake print sneakers: You can't go wrong with animal print sneakers!  These are so cute and have a platform.  The Nordstrom sale item is closer to $40 and I might just like these better ;).

Faux suede booties: These chic booties are so fun for fall!  They have a stacked heel and pretty almond toe.

Faux suede moto jacket: Nordstrom always promos Moto jackets in their sale and I always love them!  This one is only $21 and so cute! 

Wedge boots: Sorel who??  These wedge boots are gonna go fast!  The Sorel ones are around $250??  These are a pretty close twin for less than $30.  Not even a question on which one I'm going with. 

Thermal henley two-pack: These henleys were BIG sellers last year and are such a good staple!

Leopard blanket: I'm sure you have seen the Barefoot Dreams blanket that everyone goes crazy over.  I'm sure that blanket is crazy soft (and better be for over $100) but this one is less than $30 and is plenty soft with the same look.

Leopard flats: All the leopard for fall!  These flats are major dupes for a Steve Madden pair and are so fun for pairing with sweaters, leggings, skinny jeans and all your fall looks!

Leopard cardigan: Yep more leopard, I mean you can't do fall without a little leopard.  This cardigan is a major deal find!  It is only $21 and is by the brand Dreamers by Debut which is a brand carried in Nordstrom itself.  Don' this out it is going to go FAST!

Thermal peplum top: I just recently purchased this one for myself and am obsessed!  All the Free People vibes for so much less!  Walmart had these last year and they sold out so quick I never got my hands on one.  I saw they were back and scooped them up.  So cute and fun for fall!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Finds for Less than $65!!

It's no secret that I love a good deal. In case you have been living under a rock the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is going on which means discounts on quality pieces from Nordstrom. I'm gonna go ahead and admit that Nordstrom is not my first place to go shop, it's a little out of my budget for everyday. I will splurge every now and then on quality pieces that I know are going to last. I perused the site and found a few items that I feel are worth a splurge or are just a pretty good deal, all under $65.  There are some really good prices on some of my favorite brands: Kendra Scott, BlankNYC, Adidas, Spanx, Kate Spade and more!

How to get Kendra Scott for 50% off!!

I have been a fan of Kendra Scott for years, I'm just not a fan of the price tag.  I have a pair of earrings that my husband got for our anniversary one year.  I have always wanted one of the Elisa stone pendants but didn't want to shell out $50 or more.

Y'all know I am all about a good deal and I had to share this one with you.  Did you know that during your birthday month if you go to a Kendra Scott store you can receive 50% off ANY item???  

One more time, you get 50% off any item!!

You can only redeem this in store, not online (unfortunately) but it is a super easy process.  I decided that this birthday was the one I took advantage of so my husband and I took a trip to the Kendra Scott store.  I knew I wanted an Elisa but I wasn't completely sure what color stone I wanted.  I looked around and fell in love with this blue illusion one.  

When you checkout you just mention that you want to apply the birthday discount.  They will check your id and put an email on file to track your discount, super simple.

P.S. you can also use your boyfriend/husband's discount during heir birthday month they just have to be with you ;)

This tunic is so fun!  The polka dots are so fun and perfect for a party!  I can't wait to layer it with a vest or scarf.

This tunic is SO soft!  It is the perfect length and the baby blue color is beautiful.

Bath & Bodyworks Semi Annual Sale Haul

Ya'll I went a little crazy at Bath & Bodyworks this month...they were having their semi annual sale and you know how I can't resist a sale...

For starters they had tables of items for 75% off...see hard to resist.  I got a bag full of shower gel, lotion and body sprays for me and for gifts.  These are normally around $12 and at 75% off they are a little over $2!!!

Some of my favorites are the Secret Wonderland, Midnight Pomegranate and Rio Rumberry.

I also got a couple of the man product for the boyfriend, I got shower gel and lotion in the scent Oak which I am in love with...so musky and woodsy.

I also got 3 candles...I love Bath and Bodyworks candles.  Usually the candles are $20 and during the sale they had some of them for $10 each, however, one day during the sale they had them on sale for $9 a day, so I had to go get some!

I have been really into the man cologne smell in candles so going along with that I got:

-Mahogany Teakwood: "Revel in the cozy fine woods fragrances of mahogany, cedarwood and oak, highlighted by delicate lavender and geranium notes."  AHHHHHH I went into the store aiming for this candle, it smells like Hollister stores.  Bonus my boyfriend liked it too. 

 -Boathouse Row: "Notes of moss, green sage and bay leaves capture the essence of a cool retreat in the shade with deep, blue water on the horizon."  Another man smell, musky, outdoorsy, and fresh!

-Summertime S'mores: "A gooey & guilt-free treat! Toasted marshmallows, crackling campfire and creamy, rich vanilla capture all the sweetness of summer's most loved sweet!"  S'mores are one of my favorite things and this completely captures the smell of a fire and roasted marshmallows..love it!

That's all ya'll :)
