If you haven't had a chance to take a look at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you should head over there right now! Out of all of the sale sections in the entire store, the shoes would have to be my absolute fave. Why is it best to buy them this week? At the end of the week, the sale will open up to non-cardholders and things will sell out very quickly, if not already! Good quality shoes that will last and get you through the fall and winter are the best thing to buy in this sale, in my opinion. These are all of my top favorites and these & these both came home with me this weekend.

Happy Monday!

Business Casual + Giveaway

This burgundy wool blend blazer is probably one of my top favorite things in my closet currently.  These pictures don't even don't even compare to how classic and sophisticated it looks in person.  It is the perfect blazer to dress down with some boyfriend jeans or dress up on a day at work with a pencil skirt.

Can y'all believe it is September already?  This month is always my favorite.  I tend to look at September as the start to a new "year" rather than January for some reason.  Maybe its because school starts then or maybe its because my birthday is this month, starting an actual new year for me.  September is also a huge month for fashion which I l o v e. This time of year gets me really excited to start scrolling around my favorite retailers sites, flip through style magazines, and see what new fall trends are at my top stores.  It's easy to want to buy the trendiest fall pieces but this year I'm really trying to stick to the basics.

Incase you haven't heard, Nordstrom started their HUGE half-yearly sale yesterday so I rounded up some of my favorites above.  Everything above is between 25-40% off and rarely on sale.  I've been in need of a new watch and wallet lately and the ones I've listed here are my top favorite options.  Also, Kendra Scott jewelry on sale?! I would love to know what your favorites are! My favorite floral peplum top on instagram is still only $16 and available in all sizes.

I am SO ready for Thanksgiving this week and can't believe the year is almost over. I'm starting to get in the holiday spirit and have been making lists of what I can get people for Christmas. I put together a list of ideas for the ladies in your life- your mom, sister, bestie, etc. My entire family besides my dad is a girl, so, I could use endless gift ideas around this time of year. FYI I finally learned how to label these photos with numbers, thank ya Jesus. And thanks to the girls I met in the Social Media with Style Workshop by Lauren aka my mom in the blog world. She is amazing, teaches you how to analyze everything about social media and if you're new to social media marketing and/or blogging, I would definitely recommend her workshops. Anyways, I really need to start thinking about what to bring to my parents' house on Thanksgiving... what are some of your favorite Thanksgiving recipes?
