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. 
 
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!

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
BOOTS – ON SALE.  FITS TRUE TO SIZE.

Also, if you are a jewelry lover or want to stock up on gifts, we have a ton of jewelry for $5!  Yes, get all of these pieces for just $5.

And all of these pieces are $10!  Shop the entire collection here.

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!

Shoe Haul! Sequins and Oxfords

Latest additions to my shoe closet!

Sparkle!  I’m all heart eyes for these.  I’m still deciding on the outfit but I know I will be wearing these for New Year’s Eve!

http://amzn.to/2idhvxy
SKIRT ($34, its 50% off!) 
These are a bit unlike me but after seeing platform oxfords on several people I just had to try them out.  I wore these for a week straight when I got them in and now I want them in the nude too! Oh and they are under $30, which is crazy because for the quality they look and feel much more expensive.  I was at Nordstrom and saw some platform oxfords and they were very comparable to these but twice the price.  I went a half size up on these.  Make sure to check their size chart and recommendations they list for your size.

http://amzn.to/2ivyybQ
PLATFORM OXFORDS ($28)
JEANS HAT BAG

On another note, I just saw this Amazon Luxury Beauty box and had to share.  You get 20 samples of high end beauty products for $19.99 but what’s even better is that you can apply the $19.99 as a credit to your next beauty purchase on these products. I just love this idea to be able to try out all these products before buying!  I believe you have to be a Prime Member to be able to even get this set.  If you are not a Prime Member yet (which you should be, I am a huge fan!) Try it out here, you get a 30-Day Free Trial

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!
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!

Winter Dress Haul

It is so hard to get dressed up in the winter.  I mean I think we can all appreciate staying in our pajamas all day with our hair in a pony tail, am I right?  But there are times when I just want to get dressed up and out with friends!  I went on a dress hunt for some dressy but not too dressy dresses – if that makes any sense.  I wanted to be able to wear these to a party but also just out to dinner with friends if I wanted.
Here’s my little haul!  And I apologize about the awful color of the photos.  The weather has been so terrible so getting any kind of light to shoot in has been the worst.
Maggy London Women’s Tri Color Lace Fit and Flare 
I adore this tri color lace dress!  I think it’s so simple but pretty with the three colors of lace.  It’s actually a lot easier to dress down than you think.  I already have worn it with a cozy cardigan, navy tights and ankle booties. I’m wearing the size 2 and it fits great but I’m usually a size 0 so I would size up for this one.
Blu Pepper Floral Printed Swiss Dot Fabric Dress 
This brand is super affordable and has really cute pieces!  I love long sleeve dresses and this one is definitely a keeper.  I had to shop this brand more after getting this piece.  This navy one with the dots is also really cute and already in my cart! Wearing a size small.
Donna Morgan Women’s Bell Sleeve Sheath 
Oh bell sleeves.  I have such an obsession with them!  I love the lace details on this dress but wasn’t in love with the fit so this went back.  I’m wearing a size 2 which ran a bit big in the waist and hips for me.  I would have kept it if it fit!
Somedays Lovin Women’s Crystal Visions Lace Dress 
This one just wasn’t doing anything for me.  Way cuter in the photos but just way too much going on for me.  Also this is the XS but I felt like it was so big. I just think it will work for someone taller and thinner than I am as it’s just a bit much for a petite frame.  When you order online there is always going to be a dud!  That’s why I always order a bunch of stuff and then return it. I love that about Amazon as they make returns so easy.
BB Dakota Women’s Petite Adelina Lace Fit N Flare Dress 
I love the color and the fit of this dress.  I also loves that it comes in a petite fit.  I’m wearing the 2 petite and it runs true to size.  Such a pretty color and it looks great paired with black tights and boots.
Here’s what I tried on and a few other dresses that I’m eyeing!
