    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

    July 25, 2015

    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.

    Due to nearby hurricanes, the weather in SoCal has been really strange. The weather can go from being cool and pleasant to extremely hot from one day to the next; we even got some rain and thunder this weekend! The good thing about this weird weather is that, if anything, it makes getting dressed so much more interesting, and you also have a good excuse to change into different outfits throughout the day. I wore this trapeze crop tank with jeans and caged booties on Saturday morning when it was just foggy outside, but later layered on a chunky sweater and put on a pair of boots when it started to pour later in the day.
    My favorite part of this outfit has to be this statement necklace that I recently received from Happiness Boutique. I love it so much that I can’t stop wearing it! I especially like the collar style of this necklace and the fact that it adds a bit of life to even the most simple outfit. A plus about owning a good statement necklace is that it makes accessorizing easy for people, like me, that don’t want to invest too much time getting ready and picking out an outfit in the morning. Another wonderful thing about Happiness Boutique is that they offer free shipping worldwide and even have a rewards program that enables you to earn points towards a future purchase.

    This weekend was truly special because I was reunited with my very good friend Janista after not having seen her for almost two years.  We’ve been friends for several years and used to hang out on a weekly basis, so I was sad to see her go when she left L.A. for a job in Thailand. Of course, as is the case when you’re reunited with any good friend, it felt like nothing much had changed since we had last seen each other and we spent about five hours just catching up.

    It keeps hitting me that I’ll be leaving SoCal very soon and, although I’m very excited for my move, I sometimes get very sad about all the people that I won’t get to see every day. I do take comfort in the thought that I have been fortunate to build solid relationships with people that will survive despite the distance between us.

    xoxo,

    Summer Swimsuit Picks

    July 15, 2015
    Since I talked a bit about what I look for in a swimsuit in my last post, I thought that I’d share some cute styles that I found while online window shopping. I have always loved retro-inspired swimsuits, and I’m so glad that they’ve been in style these past few summers because there is a great selection from which to pick from. You can shop some of my favorites by clicking on each picture.
    Have a great week!
    xoxo,
    Helen
