My favorite tops and jeans on sale + Marc Fisher Wedges Look for Less!

I raved about these shoes so much.  (See my posts HERE and HERE) but guess what?  I ended up finding the exact pair of shoes for $100 LESS!  They are only $60 and they are amazing!  Get them HERE in two colors.

AFFORDABLE (TOP) VS ORIGINAL (BOTTOM)




The top pair are the more affordable version but honestly, in person they look so similar to the Marc Fisher ones.  If they weren’t right next to each other you wouldn’t even know the difference.  The jute on the wedges is almost exactly the same.  They both are really comfy on.  The one thing that I actually liked better about the more affordable version is that the toe box has the leather lining which makes it a bit more comfortable.  It’s not a huge difference but something that I did notice.  I highly recommend them especially if you are like me and already have one pair and are thinking about getting a 2nd pair.  You should definitely grab these and save $100 from the original price!

As I was shopping for those wedges I also found THESE and THESE wedges that I absolutely love!  Sometimes it takes a bit to browse on Amazon for certain items but I do end up finding some good gems at great prices.  Also, returns are so easy which I appreciate so I do sometimes over order on things but I just can’t help it with the two day shipping and free returns, it just makes my life so much easier!

On the note of finding good deals, Shopbop is running an amazing sale for 20% off all orders under $500 and 25% off all orders over $500!

I just got this top at Nordstrom and it’s super darling.  I spotted it on Shopbop too so had to tell you to grab it now for 20% off because it’s not on sale anywhere else!  It’s only available in blue there but it’s still so cute.

My favorite jeans these days are Frame.  You’ve seen these on me a ton, I wear them so much I have them in both black and white.

CHAMBRAY TOP FRAME DENIM ROCKSTUDS BRACELETS

SWEATER FRAME DENIM BOOTIES

I also have these jeans that are a little less distressed and they are one of the most comfiest pair of jeans that I own.

If you are looking for some lighter and seriously distressed denim, I love mine by Blank denim.  They are under $90 and with the 20% off it’s a great price for good quality jeans!

And here’s a few items that I bought and/or stalked.  I’m just so excited for spring and some sunny weather so I had to stock up on these cute tops!

Ruffle tops, Spring dresses and Ferragamo shoes on sale!

If you haven’t heard, Shopbop is having a major sale! Get up to 25% off your order!

http://rstyle.me/n/cgtbsvhmm

Whenever I shop at Shopbop I always end up
wanting the priciest things!  But I’ve learned that they’ve got some
great pieces under $100 and now is a great time to add those to your cart and save even more!

I love ruffles and lace detailing so it’s no surprise that I love all these tops.

 
TOPS UNDER $100:

I’ve been eyeing the floral bow tie dress for quite some time and am excited to get it!  I also am in love with that little peach floral number, it’s so cute!
 
DRESSES UNDER $100:

I am a huge fan of espadrilles and always wear them during the hotter months so I figured now is the best time to get them while they still have my size!  I love these Tory Burch ones, they are super similar to the very pricey Chanel ones.  But I love all the other ones too!  So hard to decide.

 
ESPADRILLES:
ONE TWO 

In love with these adorable Ferragamo crossbody/mini bags.  I just can’t get enough!  AND I’m so excited that Shopbop has included them in the sale so that most of these you can get 25% off which is amazing as you know it’s usually impossible to get any kind of savings on designer bags.

 
FERRAGAMO BAGS:
ONE TWO 

Of course I can’t forget the shoes.  I will always love the classic Ferragamo styles and think that they look great for work but you can easily wear them with jeans too.  How cute are the hot pink ones!  I love that they updated their classic flats to a summer shoe.

 
FERRAGAMO SHOES:
ONE TWO

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!
 


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!

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! 

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!

January Sales! Tops, Jackets and Jeans

Love browsing January sales as I know that the weather in Seattle is still going to stay cold for awhile so I definitely get use out of all the winter sales going on right now!  Had to check out the J Crew sale and try on a few fun pieces…

 

I’ve seen this top on a few other bloggers and thought it was adorable.  The stripes and the ruffles are really flattering on everyone!

 

STRIPED RUFFLE SHIRT – WEARING XXS (FITS TRUE TO SIZE)

And this little quilted jacket is so cute.  I love all the details and it actually fits me in the sleeves!  I usually have to roll my sleeves up on all my jackets.  #shortarmproblems

QUILTED JACKET – WEARING 00 (FITS TRUE TO SIZE)

I love this cherry print and spotted this cute sweater, it was a tad too small on me and they didn’t have the next size up so I didn’t get it but I may order it online.  This striped heart tee is not on sale but it’s cute so I had to try it on!

CHERRY PRINT SWEATER – WEARING XXS (FITS TRUE TO SIZE)
STRIPED HEART TEE – WEARING XS (FITS TRUE TO SIZE)

I always love peplum tops, I just think they are so cute.  The material of this top is a nice thick knit so the peplum shape stays very nicely  Comes in stripes too!  It’s on sale + additional 40% off right now!

PEPLUM TOP – WEARING XXS (FITS TRUE TO SIZE)

They don’t have the bow top online anymore but I found it in this other plaid print which I think is even cuter!  I love the ruffles top on the right, I think it would be cute under a blazer or cardigan.  It’s one of those cute tops you can wear to work or out to dinner.  Take an additional 40% off both tops!

BOW TOP – WEARING XS – FITS TRUE TO SIZE
RUFFLES TOP – WEARING XS – FITS TRUE TO SIZE

The best part about winter is all the coats!  I love coats and two of my favorites from this season are now 30% off.  This puffer jacket keeps me so warm and there’s a cute bow in the back!  You don’t find too many puffer coats as cute as this one.  The hat is also 30% off!

BOW PUFFER COAT – COMES IN NAVY TOO.  WEARING SIZE SMALL, RUNS SMALL SIZE UP.

And this pink fur coat is one of those pieces that makes people stop me in the middle of where ever I am to ask me about my coat.  I’ve handed out more business cards than ever due to this coat!  Go here to see all the coats on sale and take 30% off with code COAT30.

PINK FUR COAT – WEARING SIZE SMALL – FITS TRUE TO SIZE

I typically live in sweater and jeans and always looking for a good deal on them. These fab Joe’s Jeans are on sale (I can’t live without a little bit of distressing at the knees) and these super cozy sweaters are both around $20!

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
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
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
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.
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
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.

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

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!

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!

Recent buys: Summer time outfits with LOFT and J Crew

I’m not much of a shorts/tanks – summer wear kind of girl.  I have a few favorite pieces that I tend to wear every summer and don’t do much shopping.  However, when I do, it’s usually when all the summer stuff is on sale so wanted to share a few recent purhcases and picks that are all on sale.

LOFT is kind of funny whenever I stop by the store, they always are doing something different online.  The day I stopped by they were doing 40% off everything in the store but they weren’t doing it online.  Either way though, most of the time you can still grab a pretty good discount at LOFT as long as you keep an eye out for it.

This top isn’t super summery but I like that it’s a dressy take on just a regular tee.  Love the peplum detail and dresses up your regular jeans and a tee kind of outfit.

 
PEPLUM TEE (wearing XS)

I think drop waist dresses like this one is flattering on every body type.  Love the gingham print, so summery!  Just an easy dress to wear for so many summer occasions.  I’ve already worn it to the office, a bar-b-que and a trip to the zoo with my daughter.  I just read the reviews about how bad it shrunk after wash for quite a few people so I need to make sure not to do the same!  I may just end up handwashing it.

GINGHAM DRESS (wearing Petite XS)

I didn’t take pics but also tried on these tops which are just good
summer staples.  I’m all about the easy, breezy summer tops. Am totally
obsessed with the lace top which I can wear now but will be perfect for fall too.  The tweed shorts are just too cute and I actually already own scallop shorts but I like that these ones are a bit dressier than mine.  And being that I love all things off the shoulder lately, this dress was calling my name. 

Also a quick note as J Crew is having a great sale on sale.  I snagged this striped tee and I love the linen tees as they look a bit nicer than regular cotton tees. I packed this in my suitcase and it actually didn’t wrinkle much which is nice, since I’ve been living out of a suitcase lately I feel like all my clothes are super wrinkly these days!

The striped pom pom tee is too cute and you can’t tell in the picture but this tee is a really pretty silver metallic in person.  Also grabbed a few other tanks that I thought would be cute with jeans and shorts.  How cute is that scalloped tank though?  The little gold bag was a last minute buy but on sale and additional 40% off, I just had to have it.  I’ve been loving bucket bags and just couldn’t resist the gold and the tassels!

I had to mention one last thing as I saw these pink lace up flats and am DYING for them but I can’t find them in my size anywhere.  How cute are they!  And they are on sale too!

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!
