Guys, it’s that time of year – Nordstrom’s Winter Sale! From now until February 26th you can get up to 40% off of some seriously AH-MAZING pieces! I could do some major damage, but I gotta keep it together. I rounded up all of my absolute favorite items on sale right now for you below – that suede green jacket is calling my name and I just ordered the white Nike Air Max Thea sneakers, such a score!
Gray, White, + Tan
I guess I have a thing for gray sweater dresses lately…haha, ya think?! I don’t know what it is but I just love gray and white together! I decided to pair this sweater dress with a blazer to add a little structure against the softness of the sweater dress. I think it would also be super cute with a leather jacket though!
This bag is the perfect size for those of you who don’t like to pack a lot when you are out and about. Lately with a little one I am so thankful for smaller purses where I can just throw my phone, keys, a lipstick and I am good to go. Everything else can go in his diaper bag 😉
Not So Basic, Basics…
I think we all need those items in our closet that are our go-to pieces when we literally having “nothing” to wear! For me, that is usually a pointy black boot, black skinnies (love these because they have a shiny coating!), and a white top. I love to mix in a little gray or some stripes from time to time and of course top it off with my favorite gold jewelry of the moment. Having some unique basics in your closet to reach for make getting dressed that much easier because you have a base to build off of.
V Day Gift Guides
It’s that time of the year again – the month of red and pink hearts and the moment you start getting flooded with V-Day Gift Guides and outfit ideas for a Valentine’s Day dinner. I can’t say I am doing much different here, hehe! But I wanted to offer up a few ideas for gifts for that special someone in your life – or gifts that you can buy yourself. Because hey, there is NOTHING wrong with loving yourself and showing yourself that love by buying that item you have been drooling over for the past few months. I for one am thinking I need to indulge on some good moisturizing cream – it’s never to early to start with this ladies!
Saturday Skincare Essentials
My skincare favorites are always changing. Based on the season, my skin, and what new products are out I am constantly trying new things to improve my skin. Having a child wreaks havoc on your hormones, and ultimately your skin. For me the biggest change in my skin was with developing melasma or “pregnancy mask” which is basically dark splotches on your face – ugh. Mine occurred under and around the eyes but also over the lip giving me a shadowy mustache, the worst! I have been using Eminence Bright skin Licorice root brightening serum to try to combat this – I’ve seen Lauryn Evarts from The Skinny Confidential raving about this product for this specific reason so I am hoping and praying it does the trick!
Mommy Mode
Wow, what a month! My little guy turned 1 month old last week and I can’t believe how fast time has gone. Before I blink he will be 1 year old! I never imagined that becoming a mother could fill your heart with SO much LOVE for one little human being! It definitely changes you in ways I could have never imagined – all for the good!
We have been having a LOT of rain here in SoCal so when the sun came out yesterday I jumped at the opportunity to take a little walk (and take some photos not gonna lie haha!). As soon as we started taking pictures the little munchkin woke up and started crying…typical, right?! I think he just wanted to make sure he made an appearance on the blog as well 😉
