Happy Tuesday, friends!
Well, I am certainly not in the mood for fall things just yet…but I am always in the mood for a GIVEAWAY!
In honor of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially starting today, it’s my annual GIVEAWAY 🙂 .
As much as I’m loving summertime right now, I also love pulling out the Christmas gifts I bought early, booties, jeans, and sweaters come fall that I bought during the #nsale.
Plus, I love scoring discounts on things I can love and use now like BEAUTY, PJS, UNDIES, and MORE!
This year, I’m keeping things short and sweet…a few of my faves + a giveaway.
The giveaway starts today, and the winner will be announced on Friday, July 17th so that the winner can…
…start shopping on Saturday when it’s live to the public.
Sound like a solid plan?
How much do I love THESE THROWS?! We all do 🙂 . And you know, I also love the BAREFOOT DREAMS THROWS too. They both make excellent gifts too!
I’m not sure there’s been an Anniversary Sale when I haven’t picked up a pair of UGG SLIPPERS. I buy them for myself, for gifts…they are the very best! These come in other colors too like a fun pink!
What goes great with slippers?
PAJAMAS! I scored this pair in the sale last year. They’re so so soft and comfy and come in 12 different colors/patterns.
The only UNDIES I own and wear. I stock up every year during the Sale!
This Caslon V-Neck on REPEAT! It comes in every color under the rainbow! If you’re looking for something warmer, the CREWNECK CASHMERE SWEATER is a great option too!
Every year, I stock up on…
…BOBBI BROWN EYESHADOW STICKS! Already in my cart for this year too! I also added this BOBBI BROWN EYE SHADOW PALETTE to my cart as well.
We love the T3 CURLING IRON around here. Right now, it’s on big time sale whether you need one for yourself or to save for a holiday gift.
Speaking of gifts…
…I bought THIS JEWELRY BOX for Ashby last year, and it’s such a good size.
Here are some finds I found and loved in the sale this year…
This QUILTED HOODED COAT comes in several colors. I love the quilting, the length, and the deep pockets.
Speaking of coats…
…how cute is this NORTH FACE JACKET?!
And look at this one…
…this PARKA is extra adorable!
And this DENIM JACKET too 😉 .
A few super cute tops (all come in other colors!)…
And I am for sure buying…
…these MOTHER JEANS. This is my favorite brand of jeans! They have the perfect amount of stretch but never get baggy or too loose. There are several styles on sale now besides just this one too!
How cute are these pieces (individually or all together)…
THIS ATHLETIC TOP with…
…THESE LEGGINGS and…
So so cute, right?! All three pieces come in other colors as well.
I also thought…
…these SOFT LUXE PANTS were cute too!
And to finish it off…
Year after year, I find that this category is the one I’m most grateful for each fall. These exact same shoes will be in stores at full price come September…
I am for sure getting THIS PAIR OF FLATS. They come in a variety of colors, but I’m going to try them in this color. I think they’ll look oh so fall even when the weather is oh so warm in September and October in Texas.
I am also getting…
…THIS PAIR OF BOOTIES. I buy a pair of booties every year in the sale and wear them alllllll fall and winter long. This pair comes in a variety of colors, but I think this one is the one I want.
THIS TALL PAIR OF BOOTS also comes in other colors as well. I like the heel height on this one.
And THIS PAIR OF BOOTS is a fave too.
Alrighty, I’m sure I’ll have more to say on the Anniversary Sale as the month goes on, but for now, let’s get to our GIVEAWAY!

Janice Harris says
What a great giveaway!
Vesta Surles says
Such great picks!!
Emilee says
I plan on buying several of the Bliss fringe blankets – they are forever my favorite!
Shelby Slobodzinski says
Love these picks!
Husband and I are going to Ireland in late September. Do you have the hooded quilted coat? Do you think that would be too warm for late Sept.?
Jenny N says
We are going to Alaska in late August and I am wondering the same thing. That coat is so cute!
Diane Moore says
Thanks for being so generous!
Could you include a shopping tab at the top of your website like the other headers. I like to shop for whatever I purchase from Nordstrom, Amazon, or where ever through your links even if it’s not product specific. I enjoy your blog so much and it’s an easy way to support it. Sometimes, though, it’s a little hard to find a retailer link.
Just an idea. You may have a reason you don’t do that 😊
Have a good Tuesday!
Mix and Match Mama says
Well that’s very very very sweet of you! At the top of my blog, you will see spots for Top Ten and under Summer Fun, you’ll see the drop down Summer Style which both share items I love.
Diane Moore says
Great! Thanks 😘
Elspeth Mizner says
So many cute items! Love it!

Melissa Day says
Thank you and have a great day Shay!
Amanda says
I was so excited to see the Bliss blankets linked. I swear I looked at buying a few for holiday gifts last year and they weren’t on their website any more. They make the best gifts and the quality is really great for that price.
Sarah DeWald says
I love seeing your picks from the Nordstrom sale. I always end up buying some sweaters and then in October get really excited when I rediscover them!
Paula Hobbs says
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you, Shay!!
Katrina Goodman says
Nantucket is a dream!! My daughter loves it. We hit the beach yesterday, shopped, and ate great food. We had lunch at B-ack Yard BBQ, a snack at The Pearl, and dinner at Club Car! Thankfully when we arrived we saw no line at the juice bar & grabbed some ice cream! This morning while she slept, I grabbed breakfast at Brant Point Grille! We are about to head to the beach again. Thankful for all of your posts!
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwwww! You guys hit all the great spots right off the bat!!! Yay!
Katie Stewart says
How fun! I have so many items on my Wish List! 💃🏼
Andi F. says
This is one of my favorite sales of the year! It’s because of you sharing it years ago that I started shopping it and stocking up for those fall and winter finds over the summer. Future me loves current me always 😉
Alicia Gordon says
Those cozy luxe pants I think I need! They definitely look super cozy! I also have to stop myself from buying a cozy barefoot dreams blanket every Nordstrom anniversary sale 😂
Kerry says
Those little flats are adorable and the color is so FALL!!!! I am from Texas also and I have to dream of cooler weather because we don’t get it here until Christmas time.
Bridget Reich says
Love that jewelry box for my daughter also!
Jeanie H says
I appreciate your Nordstrom content but was wondering if one day you could share some of the things you have found specifically on Nantucket. I know that it might not be linkable but I am interested to see more boutique and specialty items that are island specific.
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! I have really loved the shoes this season from Clorinda Antinori, the jewelry from Love Shack, and then shops like Erica Wilson are always a fave (and Centre Point too!).
Shirley Short says
I loved it when your Mom shared her Nordstrom sale picks too! I got the sheets she suggested and L O V E THEM!
May says
So fun!
Michelle says
Love the Nordstrom sale! I can’t shop until tomorrow, but I have a list of “wishes” and just hope they are still in stock tomorrow. I don’t want to even think about fall yet, but it’s always fun to buy things and then find them in my closet when it gets cool enough to wear them! It’s like an early Christmas!
Kimberly Sheppard says
Thank you so much for being so generous! I have read for years and so enjoy your positivity!

Tasha says
Hi Shay! Thanks for sharing.
I have a funny question for you/other readers… how often are people replacing their underwear?! And does anyone else feel wrong dumping a bunch of underwear in the trash lol!! I know I can’t donate them because EW but it still feels wrong. I just bought a bunch of new underwear for the first time in what felt like forever and was wondering how often I should be replacing them haha!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhh great question! I really do pretty much only buy them during the Anniversary Sale. So for me, about once a year, I do an inspection and overhaul and replace.
Susan P Fitzpatrick says
Thanks for posting your favorites as there are alot of things to see in the sale! Those Nikes are so cute! I haven’t bought Nikes in years but am definitely looking at those. I love all of the Zella pieces that are on sale this year. I need to replace a pair of Zella leggings I have. They are quite worn!
Erin says
Those undies are hands down the best there are, and the only ones I wear as well!
K.K. says
Thanks, Shay! I have those eye shadow sticks in cart!!
Jill says
I’ve already made a wish list for the sale. The number of products is soooo overwhelming – but I really tried to narrow my list down. Thank you for your suggestions and the GIVEAWAY is so very generous.
SLeide says
My daughter would love those Ugg slippers. Just added them to my wishlist. Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

I have enjoyed so many of your book suggestions, and I always go back to reread your book reviews when I am needing a new book.

We have been so impressed with all of her attention to detail, amazing knowledge, and willingness to answer our questions. Thank you for all you do!
