    As someone who dreams of one day owning their own business, I think it’s very important to support other entrepreneurs and small businesses. Thanks to Etsy, “shopping small” is easier than ever. However, it can be very overwhelming to browse through the endless selection of handmade and vintage items available on the site. For that reason, I want to begin highlighting some of my favorite shops on a regular basis. Keep on reading to check out some of the products and stores that have caught my eye!

    I decided to go twenty-four hours without my phone this weekend and had so much free time that I’m considering doing it every week. It’s amazing how much you can get done when you’re not constantly checking all your social media accounts and googling useless facts. I also can’t even begin to tell you how many hours I spend browsing through WebMD–I’m pretty sure that my habit of self-diagnosing myself is not helping with my anxiety.

    One of the things that I was finally able to accomplish this weekend was going through my mending pile, which had been laying on a chair in my room for the past couple of months. There were so many pieces in that pile that I felt like I had a completely new wardrobe once finally went through it. This striped top was one of the pieces that I fixed, and I can’t believe that I hadn’t worn it in a very long time simply for not making the time to replace a button that was missing. The pleats in the front of the shirt are very unique and I love that it’s a piece that doesn’t really require accessories.
    You many have noticed that I put my hair in a french braided side-chignon, which I made a tutorial for last year. This is one of my favorite hairstyles for hot summer days because it gets my hair away from my neck and it only takes 5 minutes to do.
    As always, thanks so much for reading this post! I’ll keep you updated on how well I do at not using my phone as much. I’d also love to hear if any of you have done something similar and whether you found it to be helpful or not.
    xoxo,

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

    I know I’m a bit late on this, but I’ve finally gotten around to picking out my favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Part of the reason that I avoided looking at this sale was because I’m desperately trying to save money and it’s very hard to resist a good deal. Although I still haven’t purchased anything from the sale, there are a few items that I have my eye on. However, since I’m limiting myself to only buying things that I need, I’m sure that it won’t be hard to eliminate most things from my shopping cart. A girl can still dream of having all these items in her closet, right?
    Since cooler weather is just around the corner, I found myself mostly gravitating towards coats and boots as I was browsing through the sale. I particularly liked these chunky Steve Madden boots because they look very comfortable and I love the edgy style. I’ve also been wanting over-the-knee boots for quite some time, and this pair is such a great deal.
    If you haven’t already checked out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, don’t worry because prices don’t go up until August 3rd, so you still have some time to score some amazing deals! You can also click the items below to shop my favorites.
