Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Looks for Less. Part 2 (Under $45)

  

Back at it with another roundup of Nordstrom looks for less.  I had so much fun looking for items for the first post that I found so many I decided to do a second post.  There are some MAJOR deals here!  I'm talking sweaters for $5 and super cute booties for less than $10!!  Don't miss out!

1. Booties: $35 These heeled faux leather booties are so flattering with the side cutout.  Perfect lookalike for a much pricier pair.

2. Button cardigan: $5 Here's the first major deal!  You just can't beat the price.  So fun and perfect buttoned or unbuttoned.  Also this brand is really nice (p.s. it is sold at Nordstrom).

3. Candle: $11 Yes to a pretty candle that smells good!  I'm over the candle prices at Bath & Bodyworks, these smell just as good and are so pretty for decor plus way more affordable.

4. Graphic tee: $15 Graphic tees are all the rage and they can get really pricey.  There are so many affordable options so you can snag a couple.

5. Sherpa pullover: $12 You can never have too many sherpa pullovers.  So comfy and cozy for cooler weather!  This one is a major steal and so cute!  Comes in other colors including a fun leopard print.

6. Faux suede jacket: $26 I love a draped jacket, so flattering.  This one is giving blanknyc vibes and I'm loving it.

7. Ruffle sweater: $5 Another MAJOR Steal!  I love the classic stripes and fun ruffle detail on the sleeves, don't miss out on this one!

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.

9. Moto Jacket: $40 Another classic everyone needs in their closet.  I love a moto jacket for fall and winter.  Perfect with jeans or throwing on over a dress and booties.

10: Mock neck sweater: $5 Last sweater steal!  Such a crazy deal for a cozy sweater.  Again y'all this brand is sold at Nordstrom and is nice!

11. Booties: $8 I couldn't believe this price!  Less than $10 for a classic heeled bootie!  Such a STEAL!

 Let me know if you snag any of these pieces!

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...

Current Crushes

New series I wanted to try out, my current crushes.  These are items I have found that I LOVE and are on my wish list.  I have seen other bloggers show theirs and I love seeing their roundup of things they want to purchase. 

1. NECKLACE | I have a cheap version of this one and really like it but it has definitely started to tarnish.  This one is 18K gold plated yet still affordable. 

2. SUNGLASSES | I really don't need another pair of sunglasses yet I am always drawn to them.  This oversized tortoise pair is calling my name!  They are also less than $15!

3. TOP | Graphic tees have been a thing a for a while and I've been enjoying the trend.  This sweatshirt is so fun with the horse print! 

4. LEOPARD SNEAKERS | I have been thinking about these sneakers ever since I spotted (haha) them!  They are on a super sale, less than $20 and I'm in love with them!!  They just might be in my cart ;)

5. EYESHADOW | I have heard raves about these eyeshadow palettes and this one is so pretty!!  Gives me feels of the tarte and Stila palettes for less than $10!

6. BAG | Major Rebecca Minkoff vibes for less than $40!!  I love the green version of this bag with the faux croc detailing. 

7. HOOPS | These hoops are gorgeous!!  I was eyeing a pair similar to these from Kendra Scott but these are less than $15 and give very similar vibes.

8. SANDALS | I spotted these in the Nordstrom clearance section and LOVED them!  They look like a Steve Madden pair but these are on sale for $25.  I love the neutral but glam look, perfect for wearing all summer!

Let me know what you think of this new series and let me know your current crushes!

Favorite Spring Shoes

Sneakers, espadrilles, wedges and sandals I've got the bases covered.  Here's a roundup of my favorite shoes for the season.

Eyelet Espadrille Wedges: These are such a great dupe to the Chloe Espadrilles.  The detail on them is so pretty.  I got the mauve color and they are such a pretty neutral.  They fit true to size, are really comfy and will be so cute paired with everything from dresses to jeans.

Rhinestone Sandals: These sandals are so good, thank goodness Target brought them back!  They are so comfy and add the perfect touch of glam to your look.

Platform sneakers: These might be my new favorite slip on sneakers.  They are so classic and I love the elevated platform look.  They are also Dr. Scholl's so they are really comfy!

Eyelet Espadrille Flatforms: I picked these up last year and am still obsessed with them!  They are so classy and feminine with a boho touch.  They are also really comfy!

Ked's Platform Sneakers: Updated classic Ked's!  These have a hidden 2" wedge that gives you a little height yet are still really comfy with a cloud-foam sole.  They are also on sale right now for $24.95!!

Jack Rogers Wedges:  These shoes are so classic and perfect for spring.  I love the metallic detail, perfect for dressing up a look.  I will definitely be getting my wear out of these!

Leopard Espadrille Slip On: YES Another Target favorite that was brought back!!  These are so good!  They are so comfy and perfect to slide on and go with ALL your looks.

White Vans: I have been wearing these all the time lately.  They are so easy to slip on and go.  I got the checkered white print and love the classic print in an understated look.

That rounds it up, my favorite shoes for warmer weather!

So many cute shoes with nowhere to wear them...

I may or may not have busted out the espadrilles to wear on Easter Sunday, even though the only person who saw them was my husband. 

 

Let me know your favorites and if you own any of the pieces above and what you think!

Instagram Roundup

Here we go with another instagram roundup.  This week was thankfully uneventful, just staying home and making the best of things. 

Wearing something besides pajamas needed to be documented.  This denim jacket was a clearance find from my birthday weekend shopping and it's one of my favorites.

I tried the whipped coffee trend going around and it was pretty good. 
Here's what you need:
- 2 Tbsp instant coffee
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp hot water
Mix together (it takes quite a while by hand) until it gets a whipped, thick texture.  Fill a glass with with your choice of milk, top with whipped coffee and mix together.

This pick was taken on my birthday shopping trip, I love the Anthropologie home accents!  Those monogram mugs are definitely on my wish list!

Check out my post here to see my most recent online thrift haul finds!
I scored some pretty great finds!

Hope y'all are doing well and staying safe!  If you aren't following me on instagram, check me out here!

Instagram Roundup

New month and you may have noticed that the blog got a facelift.  It's been a long time coming and I finally decided to give her an update.  I'm pretty happy with the new look, let me know what you think!

On to another weekly roundup of instagram pictures.  I've been slacking in all areas of social media but am trying to pick it up.  I've got a couple fun trips coming super soon and I'm really excited for that content!

I now have this jacket in two colors and I love them both!  My husband calls it my Peep jacket as it slightly resembles a fluffy marshmallow but in the best way.

Pretty much this whole look was created with pieces from GoodTwice, an online thrift store that provides low cost used items for sale with some of the proceeds going to fund job training and placement programs. 

My word of the year is ABIDE, I really want to focus on the plan that God has for me this year and trust in His decisions.  Daily trying to make an effort to put Him first and everything else second.

Check out my word of the year post here.

Coffee and a designer dupe, two favorites for sure.  This bag was a gift from my husband for Christmas and it has quickly become a favorite.  The quality is great and I love the size.  

So apparently Carhartt is a trendy thing now...who knew??  Y'all know I have been a fan for years.  I still have my very first Carhartt jacket (those things last forever).  This vest was a gift from Kyle last Christmas and I LOVE it!

Another designer dupe coming at you, this Dior lookalike bag is less than $20 on Amazon and holds everything!  I love the little front tassel detail. 

That's a wrap on the instagram roundup, stay tuned this week for more posts!  I've got a look for less and favorites planned ;)

Styling Graphic Tees: Western Chic Take

Y'all know I am a country music lover, I love old country and new country.  It is most definitely my music of choice.  I stumbled on these awesome graphic tees from Cut from the Heart on etsy and fell in LOVE!!  I love a graphic tee, easy to wear, cute and still comfy.  I thought I would share how I styled these tees, with a little western flair.  These looks are definitely my style for day to day but they would also be really cute for a country concert or county fair.

This top might be my favorite, first of all it's funny, second I love the vintage graphic.  I love pairing a graphic tee with a colorful kimono to add a little boho vibe.  These fringe tassel sandals add that western touch.  

With the guitar print I wanted to go a little more edgy.  I added these western buckle sandals and one of my favorite turquoise fringe necklaces from Montana Silversmith.  

I also threw on a fun western printed belt for a little extra detail. 

Complete George Strait junkie here!  I love the print on this one!  I paired it with my favorite squash blossom necklace, tassel sandals and my vintage cowboy boot Dooney and Bourke.

 

How cute is this purse??  I wanted it for years and found it on poshmark for a crazy steal.  So cute for a concert or fair.

Representing the main men of country music right here.  Paired once again with a kimono, my fringe sandals and my mini squash blossom necklace.

Styling posts are a little new for me but I really enjoyed styling these shirts.  Let me know what you think and which look was your favorite!!

Friday Favorites

Joggers: I already own these joggers in black and am obsessed with them so I figured I would pick them up in a new color.  I got this really pretty slate and I love them!  They are no kidding the softest joggers EVER!!!

Eli Young - Break it In: Yes to new music from Eli Young!!!  My husband and I are big Eli Young Band fans and I am so excited they have new music coming!  I love the chorus of this one, such a great sound! p.s. if you missed our Eli Young Band concert experience, check it out here.   

Initial necklace: I have been eying this one for a while and finally ordered it.  I love how dainty and tiny it is, perfect for layering or pairing on its own for an effortless look.  Also it's crazy cheap, it just takes a little while to get here with shipping. 

Crossbody bag: My sister picked this bag up for me from her job at Altar'd State.  She gets a pretty good discount so she got it for a steal.  I love the simplicity of it and even though it is a smaller bag it fits a lot!!

Big Brother: Big Brother is back and my husband and I are living for it!!  This is the third season we have watched and we are so hooked!  If you have never watched it I completely recommend checking it out, it is so interesting to watch.  Prepare to get reeled in, I know I did the first time I started it.
