It's that time of the year again! Christmas in July aka Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, and it's now open to the public. I used to work for Nordstrom and this was one of the most fun yet hectic times of the year but the fashion (and my discount lol) made up for that. 

The one thing that I love about the sale is that it is new items at sale cost! 

I do have to admit that this year I wasn't as impressed with the sale as I was during previous years.

Below are a few of my favorite beauty products, shoes, and clothing. If you couldn't tell I love minimal tones.. blush, burgundy, grey, black and white.

Adidas Crew Neck Sweatshirt - $55

Halogen Blazer - $74

This blazer is great for almost all of the seasons. I recently got a new job where I have to dress business casual and this is the perfect blazer for me to look professional and trendy at the same time. This blazer would also look great with a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and heels! It also comes in two other colors.

Frayed Hem Ankle Jeans - $49 

This is just a must have jean for the fall and winter season.

Topshop Faux Leather Skirt - $39

You cannot go wrong with a leather skirt and the tone of this skirt is calling my name.

BP Studded Booties - 

These booties are perfect for pretty much any fall outfit they would especially go perfect with those burgundy jeans.

Steve Madden Heels - $73 

Kristin Cavallari Open Toe Booties - $99 

Mario Basescu Kit - $32

This is SUCH an amazing deal! I love both of these products so much, especially the rose spray. I use the spray at least two times a day. It's amazing to wake you up and to use it as a setting spray. Anyone can use it, even men.. my boyfriend loves it! 

Nu Face Toning Kit - 

I actually discover this product from Jess Southern's instagram story. I was a little hesitant on purchasing because it is more than I was hoping to spend but this product had flying reviews. I just got it in the mail and I can't wait to test it out. 

Dry Bar Fav Set - $49

you cannot go wrong with dry bar. All of their products are absolutely phenomenal. They dry shampoo and volume spray are my go to. Both of those sprays give your hair SO much volume! I have not tried the detangling spray but since it is dry bar I have a feeling it's going to be good. 

Mac Look In a Box Lipstain - $26

I love nude, pinkie, mauve type lipstick shades so this set is pretty much perfect. I am in a wedding next week and I decided to do my own make up and this is the perfect lip for a summer wedding.

NARS pallet - $59

In this palette you get four blushes, bronzer and highlight for a great price. This palette will look flattering on all skin types.

BLANKNYC Embroidered Faux Leather Jacket - $111

This is one of my absolute favorite items from the sale! I have the biggest obsession with anything leather and embroidery so this is the perfect combo. 

Topshop Stripped Skirt & Top - $39 & $25

Topshop never fails to have the cutest and cost affective items for anniversary

BLANKNYC Suede Miniskirt - $64

I am in love with the burgundy/suede combo for fall and winter. It looks so cute with a sweater, fur and knee high boots. 

Leith Suede Moto Jacket- $198 

I am so in love with blush and suede. Period. It's perfect. 

Nike Gym Capris - $37

I have these in blue and they are light weight, comfy and flattery for an on the go athletic look.

Leith Body-Con Dress - $35 

Such a great basic to have.

Sociallite Lace Romper - $49

I just got this in the mail this romper is so freaking cute!! I am in a wedding next week and the day before the wedding we are doing brunch and having the wedding rehearsal and I thought this would be so perfect and versatile for all of the days events.

What are you favorite items from this years N Sale?

After years and years of shunning denim on denim and trying to get rid of the image of Brittany and Justin's at the AMA's wearing head to toe denim out of our heads, it's back. I know it is a scary trend but when it is done right, it can it can look amazing! It's important to make sure that the washes and colors are different from one another, this means light wash denim with dark wash denim. I find that it looks better when the darker wash is on the bottom and the lighter on the top, it is more slimming and creates a nicer illusion for your proportions. I paired a slouchy boyfriend jean with a flow top which might not work for everyone. There are so many options for pairing denim on denim. You can pair denim shirts, jackets, skirts, jeans, shorts, flares and vests; making sure that the washes are different colors.

Here is a little celeb inspiration...

Culottes can be challenging for anyone especially someone who is 5'2 like me but lately, I have been obsessing over culottes. Once I saw this jumpsuit, it was pretty much a springtime match made in heaven! I love how this particular style almost looks like a midi dress and flows in the wind when I walk, it has such a girly feel to it! Pair this romper with simple gold jewelry and if you are short like I am I suggest pairing it with a heel.

Throw a leather jacket over for an edgier look.
