Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Hi All!!

 Hope your week was great! Lilly came down with  a summer cold and I now I have it. :( I'm hoping this doesn't last long, but Lilly's been coughing like crazy for the past 3 days. Lets hope Zoe doesn't get this and Lilly's better in the next day or two.

  If you follow any type of fashion blogger or vlogger (on YouTube), than there is absolutely no way possible you could have missed the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (It's going on till August 3rd). I too have jumped on this crazy sale train and picked up a few things that I have been eying for some time.

   My first order (I have placed three so far...lets not talk about that though, ha!) was for two Kendra Scott necklaces. I have been wanting to order some pieces for a few months now and just haven't pulled the trigger. Kendra Scott sends out random coupons, but Nordstrom has some pieces marked down during the Anniversary Sale. I have specifically been wanting to get the 'Rayne' necklace. I did not pick this one up because the color stones that are on sale are not the one's I've been wanting. And I still think the price is a little steep to order something that isn't exactly what want, you know what I mean? Unfortunately for me, when the sale first started they did have a couple of colors I wanted, but I didn't act fast enough. Lesson learned: if you want something during a Nordstrom Sale, just order it you can always return!  I did however pick up the 'Rae' Long Pendant Necklace in Magenta.

  I am in LOVE with this!! It has an adjustable clasp so I can make it longer or short. The quality is amazing and it is so light weight! I was sure it would be heavy. I mean, doesn't it look heavy?  But it's not at all. This piece is going to be so comfortable to wear. I wanted the Magenta because the pop of color is perfect for summer. Honestly I plan to wear this year round. I tend to wear mostly greys, whites, and black so this necklace will be perfect to add color to my outfit. And it will be nice to add a bright color in the middle of winter when I'm dreaming of warmer weather. There are 7 different colors available in this style and the discount goes up to 50% on some of them. If you have been wanting a pendent that's simple yet elegant, I highly recommend you pick this up during the sale.

   Along with the "Rae" necklace I ordered the 'Elisa' Pendant necklace in Coral Magnesite.

   I have, also, been wanting the 'Elise' pendant for months. I picked up this one specifically for the summer and fall. I've wanted this is the Magenta too, but I didn't want to order my first two Kendra Scott pieces in the same color. It might be a little too bright for the winter months, but I know I'm still going to get a lot of wear out of it. The 'Elise' is the smallest pendent in this shape. The next size up is the 'Dylan'. I've been wanting a dainty gold necklace for a long time and I feel like this one fits the bill.  I'm still waiting for this one to come in (Nordstrom shipped them separately), but after getting to see the 'Rae' I know I'm going to be really happy with the 'Elise'.

  I'm so in love with Kendra Scott jewelry. They are beautifully made and all the pieces are so classy. There are so many pieces that I want to order, but I'm pretty sure my next order will be a druzy stone 'Elise' pendant and a 'Rayne' pendent. Just keeping an eye out for sales on these two.

   My next order was this Lush 'Perfect' Roll Tab Sleeve Tunic in New Olive.

   At first I was skeptical about this top. I saw a few fashion bloggers rave about this, but I wasn't taking the bate. I've been in needed of a tunic like this in my wardrobe for a long time. A good, classic staple that can be dressed up or down. Well, I started seeing this shirt all over Instagram from other fashion bloggers and I decided I need to just buy it. See what all the hype is about. I ordered a small and I'm praying it will fit right. I'm in between a small and a medium, so I want with the small in hopes that it wouldn't be too baggy. I love a good tunic, but I don't want to look shapeless in it either. Which tends to happen to me in tunics (and shift dresses, which sucks just as much). I decided to go with the green because I think it's a great fall and winter color, plus I need some color in my life. I'm also waiting for this one to come in. I have the black and the sphinx waiting in my bag to be ordered right after I get this one and try it on. I'd love to order white but it's out of stock in my size. I'm just crossing my fingers these don't sell out like the Kendra Scott 'Rayne' necklace did.  I should just take my own advice and order them, "they can be returned" but I really despise returning things.

   My last order was for the BP 'Trott' Bottie in Taupe Leather. 

  

   I have been on the hunt for a good bootie since last fall. I'm so overly picky it's a bit ridiculous. I was watching Marnie 'MsGoldGirl' Goldberg's YouTube video on what she bought from the sale (video here) and she bought the 'Trott" bootie in chocolate brown and said they are by far the most comfortable bootie she has ever worn. I highly value Marnie's opinion so I went on right away to order these bad boys. Well they have not been in stock in my size in the chocolate brown, black or the taupe. I've been checking everyday this week because Nordstrom's seems to get some of the sizes back in stock randomly. My luck changed and they had the taupe in my size today (Friday). I don't think I could have hit the "place order" button any faster! Excited is an understatement!

   After all this excitement, I got an email no shopper who's been waiting for an item wants to get . 

Whaaaaaaaa!!! :(  Bummed  is an understatement. I can't even go to the store because they aren't sold within any Nordstom in a 50 mile radius from me. I'm going to keep checking the site to see if they come back, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

    So that's all that I've picked up... so far. I'm going to do a Haul video once I have everything in. But I wanted to share with you all what I've ordered before the sale is over. Let me know if you pick anything up! 

   Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Thanks for stopping by my timeout and I'll see you later!!

XO,
  Nikki
