Nordstrom Winter Sale Faves and What I Bought

If you guys haven’t checked out the Nordstrom Winter sale just yet, you gotta go! It’s my favorite sale, mostly because I love fall and winter clothes and can always find such good pieces this time of the year.  I bought quite a few pieces earlier this season and a ton are now on sale.  I had to share some of the stuff that I’ve already worn a ton this winter that’s now on sale for great prices.

These MOTO LEGGINGS are great to wear both with booties and over the knee boots.  I love wearing them with long tunic or cozy sweaters.  They come in 3 colors and they fit true to size.

MOTO LEGGINGS – 40% OFF

I can’t help but love pretty dresses even though I don’t get to wear them often.  This RED LACE DRESS
is a new fave.  The lace is so pretty and it has bell sleeves!   I wore
it on Valentine’s Day and haven’t had a chance to blog about it yet but
wanted to let you guys know it was on sale!
 
RED LACE DRESS – 40% OFF


I just blogged about this RUFFLE TOP and it’s on major sale now!  See my full outfit post HERE.  If you didn’t know, Nordstrom is really great at price adjusting if you happen to buy something and a week or two later you find it’s on sale.  I’ve called them and have used online chat and each time they are really great about refunding me the difference.  It’s so nice that you don’t have to go to the store to get it adjusted!

RUFFLE TOP – 40% OFF

These BOOTIES
were one of my first fall purchases as I was really needing some
neutral colored booties.  They have been one of my best buys this season
as I have worn them more than I thought I would!  You can’t wear them
when it’s too cold out as they do have cut outs but any other day, they
are just a really great and comfy bootie.  Also, on a random note, it
took me a really long time to find a good no show sock to wear with
these and I finally found THESE that work amazing!  They stay on your feet and really are “no show”.

BOOTIES – 40% OFF

From my last dressing room post, still loving this COWL NECK TUNIC.  It’s so cute and I’m wearing it here with leggings and over the knee boots, my favorite winter uniform.
 
COWL NECK TUNIC – 25% OFF
I have a thing for velvet these days.  This VELVET TEE is so cute I’ve been wearing it now under cozy cardgians and looking forward to wearing it for spring with white jeans (also on sale!) and a cute choker.  There’s also this long sleeve version that looks so comfy! 
VELVET TEE – only $20!

I’m still shopping the sale so have added quite a few things to my cart and trying to narrow it down!  Here’s what I’m loving….

Tops under $50 

This cross over tee is a good basic, comes in 4 colors and is $20!  And I think this off the shoulder top is adorable and a flattering silhouette.  It will get lots of wear this spring and summer.  Comes in 4 colors and regular and petite sizing!  I usually get the petite sizing in this brand and it runs true to size.

Sweaters and Jackets under $75
Obsessed with the velvet track jacket (it’s 40% off) and the super cute ruffle sweater!  And how good is the faux leather moto jacket?  I can’t even believe it’s under $60!

The Coziest Ruffle Top + Vintage Chanel Maxi

All I have to say is THIS is the cutest, coziest ruffle top I’ve ever owned and you must get it now.  It comes in 4 colors and I grabbed it in gray too.  It’s just too darn cute!  The material is so soft, like a sweatshirt but with the ruffles it may be the cutest sweatshirt I’ve ever owned!

 
TOP JEANS SHOES BAG BAG TASSEL
 
 

 


WHAT I’M WEARING:
TOP (wearing regular XS) JEANS
SHOES BAG
BAG TASSEL

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my vintage Chanel Maxi bag and I can’t even believe it but I found the EXACT same bag, even the same color HERE.  The price is really good for the bag, considering that you can’t get this style now and the classic ones that you can get that are this big go for over $5k these days!

Dressing Room Reviews: Nordstrom sale and spring finds!

UPDATE: MANY ITEMS ARE NOW ON SALE, I’VE NOTED THEM BELOW!

I had a meeting at the mall (the best place to have meetings right?), and I stopped by Nordstrom afterwards.  I found some great sale finds and some cute pieces for spring and wanted to share!

First off, this cute lace sleeve blouse.  I love the crossover in front too.  It was one of my favorite pieces that I tried on.  It’s just so pretty and the material is nice and lightweight.  Perfect for spring and summer. It fits true to size.

LACE SLEEVE BLOUSE – NOW ON SALE FOR 50% OFF

Another top that I fell in love with!  I love basic tops that throw in a good detail.  It has a peplum in the back that looks so cute.  It’s just one of those tops that you can throw on with jeans and some cute heels and you just look put together.  It comes in 5 colors but I was particularly drawn to this red. 


Look how cute right?  It comes in petite sizing too!  I’m wearing the regular XS.

RUFFLED PEPLUM BACK TOP

As you know from my last post, I love lace tops!  I saw this one and had to try it on AND it was on sale!  It’s sold out online but you can find the details here and see if you might be able to find it in stores. 

LACE TOP
now out of stock but check out the PEPLUM LACE TOP – so cute!

OK now onto the sweaters.  The good thing about this time of the year is that almost all the sweaters are on sale and I found quite a bit of cute ones!

 
Another pretty lace top!  I like that it’s kind of like a dressed up sweatshirt with the lace.  It looks so cute with jeans. 
 
LACE LONG SLEEVE TOP – 40% OFF
out of stock but very similar lace top for 55% off!

I kind of just love anything with bell sleeves so I picked this one up but I like that it’s a tunic as I can wear it with my leggings and boots. These moto leggings have been my go-to’s lately and they are on sale.

 
BELL SLEEVE TUNIC – 40% OFF
I didn’t really think much of this sweater, I just liked the color.  But when I tried it on I really liked it, and actually I wore it yesterday and now I like it even more!  It’s super soft and warm.  It comes in 4 other colors. I did try on the black/white one but I liked this red one better.
 
MARLED YARN SWEATER – 50% OFF
Oh, this cowl neck tunic is so darn cute.  If you can’t tell I was on a mission to find things that I could wear with my leggings and OTK boots and this fit the bill.  I couldn’t manage to take a good photo with the cowl neck in the picture (it’s harder to take these dressing room pics than you would think! LOL) but check it out here and it’s on sale!  It also comes in petite sizing.  I’m wearing the regular size XS and I think it fits true to size.

 
COWL NECK TUNIC – 25% OFF

I just got this ruffle top in the mail and had to share before it was sold out, it’s SO cute and comes in 4 colors!

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale Shopping and Haul

I went to Nordstrom to scope out the Half Yearly Sale and to be honest, I found more non-sale items than I did sale items.  But I did some shopping online and found some great things that are on their way to me.  I don’t know why but I tend to shop their sales better online than I do in store.  But more on that later,  first here are all the great pieces that I fell in love with!
This top was one of my faves and it is on sale for 40% off!  Love the fit and the details.
http://rstyle.me/n/cavesihmm
LACE INSET TOP
The cutest lace tank!  I’m always a sucker for details like this and it would be so cute under a blazer or a cardigan. Oh and I should also mention that the booties I’m wearing throughout this post are on sale too!  I wear them all the time.  So comfy and they go with everything.
http://rstyle.me/n/cavd79hmm
LACE PANEL TANK
I love this sweater, not the best photos but it’s super cute in person. I like how you can play with the V and either fold it in or just leave it flat.  It comes in white too.
http://rstyle.me/n/cavey2hmm
DEEP V-NECK SWEATER
I have this love/hate with cold shoulder tops.  I think they are kind of ridiculous to leave your shoulders out but I also can’t help but love them.  LOL!  Of course I can never resist a cute striped sweater so had to get this one.
COLD SHOULDER SWEATER
This lace top is super cute, but I don’t have this styled right. If I had on the right pants and shoes it would be a lot better!  I’m wearing the XS which I think runs a bit big.  I saw online they have XXS so I may try that out and see if it fits better.  I do love the style!
http://rstyle.me/n/caveqnhmm
LACE PEPLUM TOP
The white top has the cutest ruffle back!  (see the photo below) I love that it’s a bit plain in front but so fun in the back.  And I love this bell sleeve sweater on the right.  The material is a very thick, almost shiny feel. It has a tie back, which makes it a bit fun too.

http://rstyle.me/n/cavegihmm
RUFFLE BACK SWEATER FLARE SLEEVE SWEATER

http://rstyle.me/n/cavegihmm

RUFFLE BACK SWEATER

Just a simple velvet top but totally cute!  I hesitate shopping in the junior’s section as I never know about sizing, but I’m wearing an XS in this and it fits true to size.

http://rstyle.me/n/cavmzshmm
VELVET TEE

Another cold shoulder top!  But with ruffles!  So me.  You know I had to have this.

http://rstyle.me/n/cavm3ahmm

 COLD SHOULDER RUFFLE TOP

Love, love this little red dress!  It’s adorable and fits well and of course, the bell sleeves!  Just love everything about this.
http://rstyle.me/n/cavm3ahmm
RED LACE DRESS

And an update from my last Nordstrom shopping post, almost every single piece that I tried on is now on sale.  These two sweaters are now 50% off!
http://rstyle.me/n/b4jqj9hmm
STRIPED PEPLUM SWEATER

http://rstyle.me/n/cayd65hmm 
TURTLENECK SWEATER

OK so onto the sale pieces that I ended up buying online. So excited to get these pieces!  I actually tried on this lace top awhile ago and loved it but didn’t end up buying it.  I was excited to see it online.  And this dress, I may just save it for next year’s holiday party.  Also loving strappy heels so was happy to find these and these on sale!

Sales on Sales! J Crew, Nordstrom, T&J Designs

It’s too hard to resist all the good sales!  I stopped by J Crew while they were doing an additional 40% off sale and they have the same sale online.  Here’s my favorites out of the bunch I tried on.
 
This ruffle sleeve top is such a pretty color, it’s like a light pink but almost a lilac.  The material is a bit more stiff then I expected but I like it because then the bell sleeves stay puffy!  
RUFFLE SLEEVE TOP
– also comes in this pretty pink buffalo check print and stripes.
This cute striped top is similar to the one above but the ruffle on the sleeves is smaller.  I just love the stripes so I did end up taking this one home.
STRIPED RUFFLE SLEEVE TOP
 
I love this cherry print!  And I’m always a fan of their “popover” style shirts.  They’re so comfy and easy to wear, they tend to be the first style that I grab on the weekends when I want to look cute but don’t want to think too hard about what I want to wear.
CHERRY PRINT POPOVER TOP
 
Oh this sweater is SO comfy.  I don’t even know why but I’m just loving turtleneck sweaters this year!  I bought this one and immediately wore it the next day.
 
 STRIPED TURTLENECK SWEATER
 
Nordstrom marked down quite a few styles and had to mention that this lace back sweater from my shopping post is now on sale!  It’s only available in a few sizes now but grab it now while it’s 40% off.
LACE BACK SWEATER
 
Same with this sweater!  It’s 40% off and comes in 4 colors.
TURTLENECK SWEATER
 
I just spotted this sweater and had to get it.  I love high low sweaters!  And it’s 50% off!  It comes in 8 colors, I couldn’t decide what color to get.  I went with the white but I think I want the burgundy as well.
HIGH LOW SWEATER
 
T&J Designs (my clothing line) is also having an amazing sale with up to 30% off your entire order!  Use code DEC20 to get 20% off your order $50+ or code DEC30 and get 30% off your order $135+
 
My favorite gifting item are these pom pom hats!  They look so cute on everyone and they come in four colors.

FUR POM SWEATER HAT

And if you want something a little fancier, this faux fur collar and hat is so much fun!  Yes it does double duty!  Looks super cute as a collar and keeps your neck super warm but I love wearing it as a hat too.  It keeps you so warm.

FAUX FUR COLLAR AND HAT

And one of my favorite pieces of all time (even if it wasn’t designed by us!) is this bow cape.  It goes with everything and I even wore it with a sweater this past weekend and I was perfectly warm!

BOW CAPE  – it comes in Black and Red too

And this tulle skirt is hands down my favorite skirt ever.  I’ve worn it for so many occasions, our family photos, our holiday party and even just out to dinner. 

 

STAR AND LACE TULLE SKIRT

Nordstrom Fall Must Haves – Shopping Haul

UPDATE: A few of the pieces below are now on sale!  Scroll down as I noted which ones and how much they are on sale for.


It’s been awhile since I’ve shopped in an actual store.  Online shopping is the best thing ever!  But, there’s just something about going to Nordstrom and trying on clothes that I will always enjoy.  Like I said it had been awhile since I had been shopping and I found SO many good things to try on.  I picked my favorites to share with you guys and I actually brought most of it home!


This sweater is on the top of my list of favorites.  I mean, the stripes and the lace back, it’s so me!  I saw online that it comes in 3 other colors which I may have ordered another 🙂

LACE BACK SWEATER (wearing XS)
LACE BACK SWEATER (wearing XS)

Hello sweater season!  I’m so happy to pull out sweaters again. I’ve been looking for a cozy turtleneck sweater and love this one!   It comes in a few other colors, I just ordered the pink online.  

UPDATE: See how I wore it recently here.

TURTLENECK SWEATER (wearing XS)

I know, another striped sweater.  I definitely don’t need another one but this one has a peplum bottom!  I mean, it’s just different enough than all my other 500 striped sweaters.  LOL.  It’s not the best photo of it but trust me, it’s so much cuter in person.

STRIPED PEPLUM SWEATER (wearing XS)


Nothing super special about this one but sometimes I just want a comfy sweater that’s cute and I can throw on with jeans and boots.  I love the slouchy boyfriend fit and it’s a super comfortable knit material.

OPEN KNIT SWEATER (wearing size 2)

Rag & Bone. 50% off.  That’s all I needed to know.  🙂  I love the fit and quality of everything Rag & Bone and love the white trim of this sweater.

V NECK SWEATER (wearing XS)

I’m all about pretty flowy blouses like this and the simple print.  It’s
just one of those tops that can work well for work or play!  I plan on
pairing it with my favorite leather leggings.

PLEAT NECK TOP (wearing XS)

And I had to show you the close up of the pleat neck.  It’s such a pretty detail!

PLEAT NECK TOP

I’m
obsessed with Olivia Palermo’s style.  Girl always looks amazing!  Of course I love all her pieces in her collab with Chelsea 28.  These tie neck tops
are so cute and I love the prints!


UPDATE: Get the matching pleated skirt on sale for 40% off!

BLACK AND GOLD TIE NECK TOP (wearing XS)

BLACK AND GOLD TIE NECK TOP (wearing XS)

Bad lighting here but this top is a really pretty light pink/peach color.


Update: Get this top in white on sale for 40% off here!

PINK TIE NECK TOP (wearing XS)

OK so I have a million off the shoulder tops and this one is so summery but I couldn’t resist the color and the fact that it was on sale.   I did bring it home but it will stay tucked away until next spring!

OFF THE SHOULDER TOP (wearing size 2)


I did find a cute fall off the shoulder top.  I love that this one is a really lightweight fabric and is really comfortable.  Sometimes long sleeve off the shoulder tops can feel really constricting but this one was easy to move around in.


UPDATE: This top is now on sale for 30% off!  

FALL OFF THE SHOULDER TOP (wearing XS)

I wasn’t really going to pick up a dress as I haven’t been in the mood to wear dresses lately but this cute little dress
caught my eye so I had to try it on.  Turns out it’s just the cutest
dress ever!  I love the cut out as well as the bell sleeves.  The length
is a little short which works for me since I’m short but I think it will
also look really cute with leggings underneath!


UPDATE: This dress is now on sale for 50% off!  Yay!

CUTOUT DRESS (wearing size 0) 


Can you tell I really enjoyed some child-free, husband free shopping?  LOL I never get to try on this many clothes when I’m with them so I definitely took advantage!  But it was great, I feel like I got some great fall pieces and am excited to start wearing them.  I’m sure you’ll see them in some outfit posts pretty soon.

Shopping with me: Nordstrom Anniversary Presale

I’ve been out of town for most of July – if you follow along on Instagram you may know that I’m spending most of my time out in Silicon Valley as part of the 500 startups accelerator program.  I promise to write more about that whole experience later but first things first, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale!  I’m sure most of you know about it, if you haven’t already shopped it. Funny enough, I usually am an online shopper so you would’ve thought I bought everything online but because of work and being in 500 Startups, it’s just been too crazy for me to even browse online so I actually went in store this weekend.  It’s been a little hard on me as I spend M-F without seeing my husband and daughter so try to maximize the weekends with them when I’m back home.  They both came along on my little shopping trip and they were super patient and sweet to me as I tried everything on.

So a quick recap of what I brought home with me.  If you aren’t a Nordstrom cardholder you’ll have to wait until July 22nd to grab these so I’d suggest bookmarking anything you have your eye on!  But if you are a cardholder – go get them now!

Shop the post here and click through to see everything I tried on!

This sweater is so simple and cute. Love the lace detail on the sleeves and it’s really comfy and warm too.

LACE DETAIL SWEATER (wearing an XS) 
Reg. $78 Sale $49.90

I LOVE faux leather leggings for the fall.  I wore mine so much last year that the knees are totally worn in.  So I was planning on buying another pair this year and happy to find these in the sale!  I will say that they fit a bit loose for leather leggings but I didn’t want them to be too tight so I went with my regular size of XS however if you want them to be more fitted, I would suggest to size down. 

 FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS (wearing size XS)
Reg $79 Sale $52.90

If there is one thing that I have a lot of in my closet besides jeans it’s bow blouses.  I just can’t resist them.  I loved the color of this one and the bow sits really nicely on.  Some of my bow blouses, the bow looks weird no matter how I tie it so I like the look of the ribbon bow, it’s simpler and doesn’t matter if it’s perfectly tied or not.  I came home and ended up ordering it in the ivory too!  The fit is a bit looser than I normally like so I may not end up tucking it in, but plan on wearing it a bit more casual like with the leather leggings so I think it works not tucked in.

 BOW BLOUSE (Wearing XS)
Reg $58 Sale $37.90
Hard to take a pic with the phone in my face so wanted to show you the close up of the collar/bow.

Polka dot cardigan – I mean, how can I not?  I liked the length of this one, I really don’t like the cardigans that hit just at the waist as those make me look even more short waisted. I love the gray with the black dots, I tend to wear cardigans a ton in the fall and I think this will go with everything!

POLKA DOT CARDIGAN comes in 12 colors! (Wearing XS)
Reg $78 Sale $49.90
And lastly this super cute blush colored blouse with bell sleeves.  I love wearing statement necklaces and for work my go-to look is a simple blouse with a pretty statement necklace.  Such a cute simple blouse that is perfect for work or going out.  I find that this brand runs slightly big.  I took an XS in this but if you can, I would suggest to size down.
BELL SLEEVES BLOUSE (Wearing XS)
Reg $68 Sale $44.90


I felt like I got a good amount of stuff but for some reason didn’t see any cute jeans while I was there and ended up looking online and ordering these.  I didn’t have a chance to stop by the shoes but got these ankle booties online as well and looking forward to seeing how they look in person.


And if you have a little girl too, I have to mention they have some great sales for kid’s shoes right now! Stocked up on these cute UGG boots for my daughter.  They are a lot cuter in person, they are scalloped with little eyelets at the top. as well as these fun floral pair. I love dressing my little as much as dressing myself and can’t wait to pair them with a little dress like they styled this little girl, so cute!
