Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top 10

Good morning everyone! I originally wasn’t going to do a post on this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (N Sale) but after a poll on Instagram, you guys still wanted one! I am going to keep it brief though, because I feel like it can get a bit much with how bloggers emphasize this sale. Don’t get me wrong, it is a fantastic sale but even I find it overwhelming at times… and I am self admittedly obsessed with fashion! So I have narrowed it down to the Top 10 Items on my wish list.

This is also the easiest way to shop the sale. You can create your wish list in your online account and then add to cart when the sale becomes available to shop. I usually do shop in store at some point during the N Sale, but I have heard a lot of stores are struggling with stocking inventory. So this year I will be shopping from the comfort of my own home! Also remember, if something that you love is sold out, keep checking back as Nordstrom does restock some items.

  1. Super High Waist Ripped Raw Hem Straight Leg Jeans
  2. Rib Cutout Cotton Stretch Midi Dress
  3. Turtleneck Sweater Dress
  4. Quilted Shirt Jacket
  5. Faux Leather Moto Jacket
  6. Cedar Chain Bootie
  7. Gotham Nomad Leather Crossbody Bag
  8. Floral Long Sleeve Chiffon Dress
  9. Cozy Button Front Cardigan
  10. Pointed Toe Bootie

This sale is usually when I grab a few staples for Fall. A great pair of jeans, a couple cute booties, cozy cardigans and fun coats. I actually found way more that I loved this year then I was expecting and it was hard to narrow the list down to 10, but I managed ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy shopping + thank you for reading!

Feeling Sentimental with Rellery

I recently received the most gorgeous bracelet from Rellery. If you haven’t heard of them before, they are an ethical jewelry company who focuses on creating high-quality pieces with meaning at an affordable price! They personalized a bracelet for me and it has quickly become one of my most cherished and sentimental accessories. It is the most delicate bracelet with 3 heart charms. Each gold heart contains one of my children’s initials.

I loved learning about Rellery and their ethical practices. Approximately 75% of their jewelry is made to order in their studio out of locally sourced materials (sheets of metal, wire, casting grain, and chains). They produce only what they need to cut down on waste. Their jewelry is made with precious metals (Sterling Silver and Gold) that can be recycled at any metal refinery. Rellery recycles and reuses all materials (extra stock/returns/defects) using local refiners where they are located in Rhode Island.

Rellery has also been kind enough to give me a 10% off code to my followers ๐Ÿ™‚ you can use: SHANNON10 at checkout to create a beautiful + personalized piece for yourself! It would also make the sweetest and most thoughtful gift for anyone on your list!

Thank you for reading!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020!

So I know I say this every time, but you guys… The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is seriously epic this year! ย If you are not familiar with what the hype is all about, unlike most sales which mark down older merchandise, it is NEW Fall items that are majorly discounted during this saleย and then return to regular price at the end of the sale on August 31. So essentially, a PRE season sale of some of the bestselling brands!

It can actually be a bit overwhelming, so I have selected a few of my favourite, more reasonable items for this wish list! This is the time to snag yourself a pair of Spanx Faux Leather leggings… the cheapest they will ever be and they are such a wardrobe staple. My favourite Brixton Straw Hat is also included in the sale. Another popular item is the Barefoot Dreams blanket…ย this is a curl up on the couch on those dreary fall day staples. Also the best time to snag a pair of boots that will be on heavy rotation for the upcoming months. I have a hard time limiting myself to just one… so many cute options to choose from!

One thing I love buying is a super versatile item of clothing. I have been living in this H&M tank dress. It is only $17.00 and comes in a handful of colours. For such a simple dress, I get a surprising amount of compliments every time I wear it. I also own it in a few colours because it is one of the things I have been living in this Summer. Sleeveless, midi length and a super breezy material. The ways to style it are endless and I thought it would be fun to show you a few ways that I have worn it ๐Ÿ™‚

Canada Day Outfit Inspo!

Hey everyone… it’s been a hot minute! I’m so excited to be back writing my first post in the last few months.

I feel like Summer always goes by so fast. With Canada Day quickly approaching on Wednesday, I wanted to round up some cute outfit ideas for whatever your plans may be… I’m sure the gatherings are going to be a little bit quieter + smaller this year, but I am still looking forward to celebrating this beautiful Country that we are so blessed to live in!
