Not much progress on unpacking and laundry today, but I did hit the Nordstrom sale and we have groceries!  Life is all about priorities. ;)  I’m going to post outfit pics soon but wanted to share my top picks in each category first.  These are the items I either already have and love OR items on my wish list I wanted to try on this year.  One thing worth mentioning about the N sale this year – the stores don’t have certain brands/items in stock and there is A LOT more on-line.  I noticed this in my store and have heard that’s the case everywhere else too.  Usually I can find most of my wish list in the store but not this year.  Clearly I still did some damage (ha) but I ended up getting a few cute things and then items for my family/gifts in the store and then I came home and ordered the rest of the items I wanted on-line.  Just a heads up if you are used to getting most items at your store!  You might have better luck shopping from home.  In your sweats.  Eating popcorn.

I didn’t say it was necessarily bad news. :)

I always hit shoes first with this sale and I did find some cute shoes in my store!  Below are favorites and what I came home with.

1- sneaker  2- swift run sneaker   3- sandal   4- over the knee boot

5- slipper   6- aysira bootie   7- poppy sneaker   8- shearling slipper

9- mule   10- pegasus running shoe

{pointed toe mule/block heel sandal/ultra boost DNA running shoe/swift run sneaker/tava over the knee boot/heidi over the knee boot}

I pretty much had these shoes picked out before I went but two pairs surprised me.  The pink running shoes (honestly the most comfortable shoes EVER.. I feel like I’m walking on a cloud in them!) and the heidi over the knee boots.  Hands down my favorite boots this year!  They are so comfortable and stylish and can be dressed up or down.  I couldn’t decided between the brown or black so I came home with both thinking I’ll try things on and figure out which color I’ll wear more.  They are SO cute.

{ugg shearling slipper/cozette shearling slipper}

I always splurge on a pair of Ugg slippers to live in all winter and these are both so comfortable.  The cozette slippers I bought last year and I have lived in them this spring/summer.  Both of these have thick soles which I love for slippers!

1- leather crossbody bag  2- leopard print crossbody bag  3- striped crossbody bag

7- convertible leather bag  8-  zip top crossbody bag  9- leather wallet   10- le pliage tote

So many cute hand bags this year!

{TB colorblock leather tote/TB carson zip top crossbody/TP carson leather crossbody}

It took great restraint to just come home with two!  Tory Burch is always my favorite and I know this large tote and small crossbody will become long time staples.  The black crossbody I bought last year at the N sale and it has been one of my most used purses!  Both of these smaller purses are perfect for dinner with friends/date night.

1- leather backpack  2- nylon backpack  3- Carson nylon backpack

4- suede tote backpack  5- nylon backpack  6- quiz backpack

There are also some really cute back packs this year too!  My girls and I have been using backpack purses more and more.  They are especially great for travel.

Activewear!  Probably my favorite category after loungewear. :)  I have most of the items above and would totally recommend them all!  Some of the cute matching sets on the bottom row are heading my way so I’ll let you know what I think of them.  The Zella live in joggers (#11) are so good and will definitely sell out quickly at such a low price!  Long time favorites. :)

We all have our unique forms of therapy. ;)

{olaplex hair care/bobbi brown soft glow/they’re real mascara}

This year I was thrilled to see the Olaplex set in the sale!  I’m so excited to try the shampoo/conditioner.  I have a feeling this set will sell out quick because it’s so popular.  I also came home with this mascara set and I always pick up new Bobbi Brown eyeshadow (it’s my favorite).  Other makeup/beauty favorites are below!

1- mascara  2- lip, cheek, & eye set  3- face & eye set   4- makeup setting spray

5- eye & cheek set   6- lipstick set   7- lengthening mascara set 

8- bronzing mousse   9- blending brush set   10- complexion brush set

So many fun things this year!  I hope this post helps narrow things down.  I know it’s overwhelming with so many items on sale.  Everyone has different favorites and a lot of the above items are my tried and trues!  I’ll be back with some fun outfit pics and then we’ll chat decor and organization.  I have a few fun things I’m working on this summer and I need to wrap them up before it’s time for back to school and all things Fall.  Summer goes by so quickly doesn’t it!?  I hope you’re enjoying yours. :)
