All Things Anniversary Sale Post!

Happppy Friday!!!

Today, I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle and talking all things Anniversary Sale!

You need to settle in.  Maybe get a snack.  You’ll definitely want a cup of coffee.

This post is super-sized!

It’s huge.

It’s all of my favorite #nsale finds along with Kensington’s, my mom’s and Caroline’s too.  Plus, I have some Christmas shopping ideas, best of beauty, men, kids and home!

Every year, I purchase my goodies and then, I’m always a little surprised by what speaks to my heart after it arrives.  Some years, I’m all about pajamas, jewelry, jeans and beauty, but this year, my favorite items were sweaters, athletic wear and jackets!  I tried on everything but am only going to show you the items that I really, really loved.  In every picture (but the athleticwear!), I’m wearing this new pair of booties that are ADORABLE and COMFORTABLE! They come in five different colors, and I’m wearing them in sand suede.  They fit TTS too.  I’m also wearing my initial necklace that I bought in last year’s sale and love!  I ordered several last year for gifts and passed them out all year long.

Ready, set, here we go…

…I’m not typically an oversized sweater gal, but oh my word!  How cute is this one?!  It’s like being inside the belly of a really soft teddy bear.  I love it!  It comes in four other pretty colors too, but this green spoke to my heart.  I paired it with my existing Spanx leggings (which are also in the sale this year!).  And those booties 😉 .

The other things I loved from the sale were also sweaters, but I decided to pair them with jeans I already had in my closet…

Friends, this sweater is only $14!!!  You know I don’t do any itchiness when I wear a sweater.  It has to have ZERO ITCH and all comfort.  This is a crazy good deal and…it also comes in other colors too!  All of the sweaters I purchased ran TTS, and I bought them in xs.

Now, I hate to play favorites, but as soon as I put…

…this sweater on, it was my absolute fave 🙂 .  And guess what?!  It’s only $14 too!!!!  It also comes in a variety of colors!

If you’re looking for something a little different…

…this cashmere crewneck comes in eight different colors.  This is a great price for cashmere!

Now, someone please hand me a pumpkin spice latte and point me towards a Thanksgiving table…

…how yummy is this sweater?!  It comes in many other colors and even stripes!

So, those were the sweaters I loved.  Sweaters are almost always a hit in the Anniversary Sale, so I wasn’t surprised that I found many to keep.  That being said, I was SUPER SURPRISED by how much I loved these two jackets!  I wasn’t prepared for the love 😉 .

#1: The North Face Down Parka…

…I haven’t ever owned a more flattering parka!  Isn’t it so cute?!  I typically feel like even the most “normal” parkas are just too big and bulky but this one here is so slim!  I love it!

It also comes in a second cute color too!

#2:  The Faux Leather Moto Jacket…

Riiiiiiiight!  It’s a little cropped and fitted…plus the gold detailing!  I love!!  It comes in three different colors and feels like BUTTER!

It pairs perfectly with my initial necklace and tank 🙂 .

One other bonus outfit before I get to my athleticwear…

…tank, jeans and heels for the win!  I have told you about these jeans before.  They’re amazing just make sure you size down one size when ordering.  They are the most flattering, comfortable, have stretch but don’t stretch out jeans you’ll own.

It looks great with the faux leather jacket, right?!

And to wrap up my finds…

Tank plus shorts plus sneakers for my every day outside warm weather life!

Or…

…tights and a sweatshirt for the chilly days.

And that’s a wrap on this year’s sale!  Nordstrom has always been my go-to for my family’s summer needs!  From beauty to shoes, athletic wear, vacation wear, loungewear and every “wear” in between, it’s without a doubt, my favorite retailer especially during the Anniversary Sale!!  More than anything though, I love that they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up (all so handy for a busy mom during the summertime!).  You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).

Happy happy happy Friday, friends!  I hope you all have a blessed weekend!

I am going to take a three day weekend and hang with the fam which means I’ll see you back here on TUESDAY! xx
