Skims Bi-Annual Sale 2024

We’ve seen a lot of sales this summer, and one of my favorite ones (in addition to the NSale), is the Skims Bi-Annual Sale! This is the perfect time to stock up on pieces from your favorite line (mine is the Fits Everybody line), or try something new! Haven’t tried anything from Skims? I gotchu!

The Skims Bi-Annual Sale happens twice a year, and while I can’t confirm exactly what will be on sale, all I know is “select shapewear, loungewear, clothing and more” will be part of the sale. So, I decided to round up my favorites, and best sellers, and put them all in this guide for you.

Since the sale starts July 10th at 7am PT, I would suggest you take a good look at the pieces in this guide, and add things to your cart or wish list (I think Skims has a wish list?!). Things sell out fast, especially in the basic colors like black.

Another thing – download the Skims app – there are some new arrivals I wasn’t able to link and won’t show up on your desktop – they’re pretty cute!

If you haven’t seen it yet, I posted a YouTube video on my Skims t-shirt collection, where I also share the bras I wear with each one. I have everything directly linked on LTK, but I’ll leave my guides here too, so that you can easily scan through and get an idea of what you catches your eye.

While I love Skims, I’m going to try to keep my purchases simple.. and not go crazy! I’d like just a few more tops!

I also included a top five must-haves at the end of this guide. I hope you find my guide helpful.

Thank you for supporting me by shopping through my links! <3

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024

It’s finally here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is my favorite sale to shop, and the one I look forward to every year.

So, what is the NSale? It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year, covering all categories from clothing, beauty, home, accessories, shoes, and more. It’s also a great time to try new beauty items, and even start shopping early for the holidays.

Each year, I go into the sale with a game plan: What do I want to focus on? Sometimes it’s loungewear, sometimes it’s jewelry, other times it’s a complete mix of items! BUT the most important thing to keep in mind is to stick to a budget! Which is why I recommend going in with a plan of a category you’d like to focus on – it helps you stay on track! It’s why I’ve made these guides for you – to keep things simple.

I actually didn’t have anything I was dying to get, but as I was making my guides, I realized I actually need new boots! Tall boots to be exact. I try to buy a pair every year, and they never work out (mostly because I’m ordering online from a brand I haven’t purchased from in the past, so I’m unfamiliar with the fit). Otherwise, everything else I order, I keep! I’ve linked my top personal picks down below.

Access to the sale is broken down into tiers, with early access given to Nordstrom Card members. The more you spend each year on your card, the earlier access you get to the sale. I’ve always been in the Influencer category.

*Things sell out quick! I recommend previewing the sale before you have access, and adding everything you’d like to get into your “wish list.” Once you do have access, move everything to your cart and check out! It’s a huge timesaver and this will ensure you get the items you really want. I usually have a few pieces I want that are already out of stock by the time I have access, but I’m hoping the items in my guide will still be in stock by the time non-card members have access.

Here is the sale access breakdown:

I’ve broken my guides down into different categories, and have also included top sellers from years past, like the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings and Barefoot Dreams blankets. I hope you find my guides helpful!

Happy Anniversary sale! <3

My Summer Essentials

Does it feel like summer where you are? It started to here in Montana, but quickly turned rainy, and a bit cold – but the sun will shine again!

I recently posted a video on my “summer must-haves for the girly-girl,” but I wanted to create a blog post that can hold a list of ALL my summer essentials that includes everything from home, fashion, and more!

Summer is my favorite season, I love being warm and sunkissed. But it’s more than that of course – like adventures, summer activities, and just creating new memories with your friends and loved ones.

Here are my summer essentials!

  • For the Home
    • Outdoor sectional with pillows – I like how you can rearrange this one into any layout you want.
    • Hanging chair – This was my best pandemic purchase. I still use it a to to this day! I’m linking my Walmart Storefront with some options.
    • Smokeless fire pit – We have the Solo Stove in the largest size and it’s nice to be able to roas marshmallows to make smores and keep warm during the summer nights.
    • A grill! My husband really wants a Traeger, but I’m linking a few different options here. We love grilling out during the summer. The one we have now is broken though, so that will have to wait.
    • Fly fans – I hate bugs, so these fly flans from Amazon have been helpful and keeping ALL flies away! Comes in a set of two!
  • Good Water Bottles
    • I love my Hydrojug and TAL bottles – both serve different purposes and both are just cute for summer!
  • For Your Skin
    • Sunscreen – I recommend always having both tinted and regular sunscreen on hand, in addition to your body sunscreen. If facial sunscreen isn’t a habit for you already, make it one! For body sunscreen, this one from Vacation has my new favorite! It smells good!
    • Sunshield – this one protects you from ALL UV rays. It was constantly on my head when I was in Palm Springs in 100-degree weather. Use my code for 15% off: CHRISTINA15
  • For your OOTD/OOTN
    • Breathable outfits – I love linen clothing during the summer season. Check out my LTK for all my outfit links!
    • Summer sandals – There’s always good options at Target and Nordstrom, and I’m sure DSW as well!
    • I’m also going to link my Amazon Storefront, since I have a few outfits linked in my fashion folder. You’ll also see my Travel and Cruise Essentials folders, which will be helpful for any trips you may have planned this summer.

I hope my list helps and hope you all have the best summer! <3

Holiday Gift Guide 2023

Thanksgiving is tomorrow.. which means we can all officially listen to Christmas music without any pushback! Don’t worry, I listen to Christmas music whenever I want! Okay.. now to the gift guides.

I separated my gift guides into different sections, so my “gifts for her” collage might look a little sparse – but that is because there is also a “haircare” gift guide, and stocking stuffers. Overall, these collages are literally guides – meant to give you inspo to tailor your gifts for your friends and family. Which is also a big reason why my “gifts for him” guide is always small compared to my other collages. Whether the man you’re shopping for loves the outdoors or prefers to splurge on tool boxes – there’s just no happy medium to combine everything into one collage. so, I just keep that one simple – a mix of clothing, cologne, and something I think all men will enjoy!

Remember, as with any other sale or holiday- stay within your budget. It’s the thought that counts!

Also! I want to mention two items that I think would be great gift ideas for anyone interested in skincare. The first one is this Major Fade Solution System from PillowtalkDerm. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I really like the products! It’s made to help anyone fighting their dark spots and aging – I’d say this is great for anyone in their 30s and up! Plus, the founder, Dr. Shereene Iddriss offers a ton of free tips on her YouTube channel.

The second item is the Nu Skin LumiSpa! The sale starts Nov. 22nd and the bundle (LumiSpa + cleanser) will be 15% off, bringing it down $40 and making it about $216! I will leave the link for the bundle here, but DM me on my Instagram for a special promo I can offer you if you buy a LumiSpa! If you’ve been on the fence about buying it, check out my blog post with comparison pics (I was skeptical too!). I love mine and now actually look forward to washing my face – hey, I’m surprised too! This deal will run until Monday, Nov. 27. *LumiSpa heads are also 20% off! I’ll be buying a few for myself! *Message me on IG (@christinaonair) so I can get you the right products! I find the site a little confusing, so this will make it easier for you!

My Puffer Vest Collection

Tis the season for puffer vests! We might be a little past that here in Montana, but I’m sure we’ll have a few “warmer” days where it’s not totally freezing here.

To me, a good puffer vest can add a lot to your outfit, and really help elevate it. I don’t consider myself a real fashion blogger/influencer, but I do feel pretty fashionable in a nice puffer vest – lol. In fact, my puffer vest collection has grown since moving to Montana – I only had one puffer vest in Colorado!

Out of my four puffer vests, half are from Amazon and the other half came from other shops. Fortunately, I found similar options that are still available; so three out of the four puffer vests I’m sharing are from Amazon.

  1. Black Oversized Amazon Puffer Vest
  2. Cropped Amazon Puffer Vest
  3. Free People-inspired Amazon Puffer Vest (very similar looking to the one I bought from an online boutique)
  4. Brown Teddy vest (I don’t have this one, personally)

As for sizing in all of these – I wear a size small. Even if a puffer vest says “oversized” on Amazon, I still get a size small.

What I love most about puffer vests is the versatility of them. I can wear them with jeans, leggings, and even sweatpants. So, it’s perfect to wear when I’m out running errands, or lounging at home and want to look a bit more put together.

I have a try-on of my puffer vest collection in my YouTube video down below.

LTK Fall Sale 2023

The LIKEtoKNOWit Fall Sale officially began today! If you’ve been planning to shop this sale, you probably already know what you’re purchasing (and maybe already did so!). If you haven’t shopped yet, then my blog post might be helpful to you!

The LTK Fall Sale is an exclusive in-app (LTK) event, featuring several different brands (I feel like a lot of them are always part of any LTK Sale, including Abercrombie and Fitch and Aerie). The sale is between 15% to 30% off. Sincee this is an exclusive in-app only sale, be sure you’re following me on LTK!

Those brands include:

I won’t be making collages for every brand participating in this sale, but I can share my favorite Abercrombie jeans! I’ll link my favorite denim in the images below:

What did I buy?

I personally haven’t been looking for anything in particular and really wasn’t planning to shop this sale. However, I did see this denim midi skirt from Abercrombie and thought I would give it a try since they seem to be the latest rage these days. I’ll share a try-on of it when it comes in, on my Instagram account.

Since this blog post is going up on a Thursday night, I’ll be sharing an Abercrombie denim try-on sometime tomorrow. I love see try-ons of clothes I’m planning to buy – it really helps me see how the fit is, especially if it’s another petite content creator doing the try-on – which I always appreciate!

Sizing in Abercrombie jeans

I almost forgot to mention this! When it comes to Abercrombie jeans, I typically get my true size (denim shorts too!). However, when it comes to high-waisted jeans, I’ve recently started going up one size – I’ll share the jeans I did this with in my IG try-on tomorrow.

-My other Abercrombie pics –

Happy shopping!
