Levi's Shorts and Comfy Summer to Fall Flats

There’s been lots of talk of fall on Instagram but I’m personally still holding onto summer and these warmer temps. I am, however, slowly adding more fall-ready staples into my closet. My biggest summer shopping trend was not focusing too much on, well, trends. I tried my best to think about how every new addition to my closet would really work in my wardrobe. And not just work for one event, one Instagram post, one outfit…really work beyond those boundaries.

One of my favorite summer shoe staples I’ll 100% be taking into fall: the Everlane Day Glove. I have these in the Caramel color and they are buttery-soft, leather ballet flats that fit like a glove. I gravitate towards nude shoe tones because they not only go with everything but they really elongate the leg. It’s just a flattering look down the leg line. I also usually prefer a pointed toe for this reason but there’s something about this ballet style that just feels just as chic and effortless. FYI, these come in tons of colors and even new suede options.

Last Call to Shop the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday August 4th! This means sale prices go UP August 5th. If you’ve been sitting on your cart or waiting for restocks, now is definitely the time to do a final sale sweep, hit add to cart and press purchase! 

To be honest, I didn’t go crazy shopping the sale this year and they didn’t do as many restocks as I hoped but I did find some favorite purchases and things that will be (and already have been!) essential to my closet. There are also tons of great buys from their Beauty Exclusives and I always recommend checking out the Home Department for cozy things like blankets and remembering the “little things”—like underwear. 🤣

I wanted to roundup some items still in stock (and hopefully *still* in stock the moment you’re reading this!) You can see browse more of my previous #NSALE posts HERE

An Easy Way to Wear a Lace Cami

Two things to keep in rotation in your closet no matter the season: lace camisoles and duster cardigans.

A lace camisole is an easy step-up from your basic cotton cami and a silk or satin fabric so easily makes your look feel elevated and effortless. I recently added this white lace cami from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (similar in-stock options linked below) to my collection and it’s a fresh addition to my basic black, navy and olive camisoles. The styling options are endless for a cami in any color, whether worn alone or layered up. I love how it can make a pair of jeans (or even denim shorts) feel instantly dressed-up.

A Few Classic Things I Bought from 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access

I shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access this weekend and wanted to share a few of the pieces I’ve picked up from the sale so far! I personally prefer shopping online and using in-store or curbside pickup, so I was able to grab some of the items last Friday and a few more came today, which I’ll be sure to share details for, as well!

If you’ve been following along on Instagram or with previous blog posts, you know I prefer to keep my NSALE purchases classic and essential to my closet (see 12 Casual Chic #Nsale Staples, ideas for Classic #NSale Buys and more Early Access #Nsale Favorites) and that’s how I always recommend shopping the sale. Focusing on the pieces your wardrobe really needs, items that fill a void and pieces wearable across multiple seasons. The sale is a great opportunity to add key pieces to your closet but ask yourself this: Do I want to wear this now? Am I still going to want to wear this come fall?

#NSALE Items Featured in This Post

Topshop Satin Button-Up Blouse

Cole Haan Ramsey Flats

Leith Rib Wrap Sweater

Leith Longline Cardigan

BP. Lace Trim Satin Camisole

A Few More #NSALE Items I Purchased

2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Favorites

Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially begins Friday at 12:30pm EST and you’re either feeling a little bit anxious, excited, overwhelmed or maybe even uninterested entirely—and that’s ok! Whatever the case, I’m here to hopefully be a resource for all things classic from the #nsale. If you haven’t already, you can see how I shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in THIS POST and also check out my initial “sneak peek” post featuring Classic Buys From The #Nsale.

It’s true things definitely sell out quickly (especially cardigans from Topshop, Madewell, BP., Barefoot Dreams; anything Free People or Nike, Adidas, etc) so one tip is to not sit on your cart for too long. I love how Nordstrom offers free shipping, so it makes it easy to grab multiple sizes and send back what doesn’t work. I also love checking out online and using the in-store pickup option, so you can more easily snag things and try them on without the hassle of rifling through racks.

A Black and White Summer Outfit

This summer, I’m trying to say “no” to too many trends and keep my closet as classic as can be. So, easy and effortless outfits have become my favorite summer go-to. I’m not saying I won’t try anything trendy and fun for the season (I love a good printed midi dress or skirt as much as the next person) but there’s something that just makes you feel good when you know your seasonal items are going to last through the season and beyond. And when you can wear them in so many ways. 🙌🏼

A Day Trip to Napa

Whenever the weather starts to warm up around here one of my favorite things to do is head to Napa Valley. It’s a pretty quick trip for us living in the Bay Area (about a 45 minute drive), so it’s easy to do a day trip for a little wine tasting, eating, relaxing, shopping, exploring—really anything that suits you. It’s just a beautiful place to spend your time and you can’t go wrong with any avenue you choose. We went for an early birthday celebration and I typically get a lot of requests to share our itinerary, so I wanted to dedicate a post to our quick day trip!

You can also see what we did for my 30th birthday weekend in Napa last year and my sister’s bachelorette party a couple years ago.

Also—skip to the end of this post to see a full list of Napa recommendations.
