Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | My Wish List

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is something I look forward to EVERY year. It’s a time when you can find some of the best deals on a number of items from women and men’s clothing, accessories, home decor, and much, much, more. Mark your calendars! The sale opens to the public on August 19th!

I use this time to stock up on skincare products I know I like (if they’re part of the sale), and to try new products I couldn’t bring myself to splurge full price on.

Of course, if there aren’t a lot of items I’m super interested in, it’s okay! There’s no need to try and find something just for the sake of buying an item on sale. Plus, there’s always next year!

Since I have a Nordstrom credit card, I’m able to shop the sale before the public. In fact, you can even apply for a Nordstrom credit card anytime from now until ONE day before the sale. BUT — do not go into debt over this or any sale. Give yourself a budget to follow and stick to!

While I won’t have a video guide for the sale, I thought it’d be fun to still outline what I’m looking to get this year.

This year, I’m going for more of a relaxed vibe with clothing. Maybe a restock on a skincare item, a bra I know I like, maybe some jewelry, and a Barefoot Dreams blanket I’ve been putting off on getting. Again, this is just my wishlist – I won’t be getting everything.

This whole working from home thing has really got me excited for new loungewear, and with the COVID-19 pandemic looking like it’s not going away anytime soon (although, I would like it to!), I’ve decided I need more loungewear! Also, my feet always get cold.. so that’s why I added the Barefoot Dreams fuzzy socks to my wish list, haha.

As for the earrings, this looks like the same pair I got the first time I shopped the sale a few years ago. I somehow ended up losing one of them, and I’ve been bummed about it ever since! So, I thought the price for a new set wasn’t bad.

Yes, the Chanel lip balm isn’t part of the sale, but I figured I’d just add it to my wishlist anyway and order it all at once. I’ve heard great things about it too!

I’ve also been looking to get more workout tops and figured why not add at least one to this list. This Free People top has great reviews and I definitely wouldn’t be getting it if it wasn’t on sale.

You may have noticed pajama sets in my list — I think they’re cute and I really don’t have any pj sets in my wardrobe.

The black and white top from Threat & Supply looks so soft – I hope it fits good too! This is the most challenging part of online shopping – you just hope it all fits right!

I’m super picky about my jewelry, but I think the silver Cubic Zirconia Bangle from Nordstrom would look great with a gold or silver watch.

The Natori bra on my list is something I already have in a different color. I love how it fits and feels, and I thought this would be a great time to get a second one.

Jo Malone London fragrances are something I see on nearly everyone’s wishlist/guide for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’ve never smelled any of their perfumes or candles, but I’m considering trying out their Mini Discovery Set.

If you’ve ever seen any Nordstrom Anniversary Sale guide, then it should be no surprise to see the Barefoot Dreams blanket on my wish list. I have one of their cardigans from a previous sale – it’s huge on me. It basically looks like a robe, but I still wear it. So, I’ll be sure to try on other cardigans in store before I purchase another one. I’ve definitely been wanting one of their blankets, and now is the perfect time!

Chi Spin N Curl | Review

The white chair in front of me makes this pic.

Doing my hair is something I’ve always loved, especially as a kid. Now, I have to do my hair for work purposes.

Hair tools are something I’m not short on, and I could always use more. So, when I stumbled upon the Chi Spin N Curl, I was interested, but also very skeptical.

It’s not a new product, it’s been out for a few years now, but I just didn’t think it would work well!

Well, I was wrong.. and it actually wasn’t as difficult to use as I thought it’d be.

You can hear my full thoughts and watch my tutorial in my review posted down below. I go over the features, my first impressions, and a time comparison between my curling wand and the Spin N Curl.

Favorite no-show socks!

After I posted my first Rothy’s loafers review on YouTube, I started getting a TON of questions on the best socks to wear with them and other shoes.

I thought it’d be helpful to write up a post sharing my newly-found favorite no-show socks and some others I’ve found useful with shoes that you wouldn’t typically wear socks with.

Rothy’s Mini Handbag | Review

If you haven’t heard yet, I’m a BIG fan of Rothy’s. I love that they take recycled plastic materials, like plastic water bottles, and turn them into fashion!

I have two pairs of their loafers and one pair of rounded-toe flats. They’re comfy and MACHINE WASHABLE.. the best part in my opinion.

When I saw they released a handbag, I knew I had to eventually get one.

I settled on the Mini Handbag in Candy Apple and so far, I love it! It’s soft, yet sturdy and holds everything I need. I also love that it adds a pop of color to any outfit.

One thing I wasn’t expecting was a laundry bag! The handbag came with both a storage bag and laundry bag – definitely made the price worth it for me.

My Watch Collection!

I’m not a fashion guru, but I do feel somewhat fashionable when I’m wearing a nice watch. I know.. Apple Watches are all the rage, but I’ve just never been attracted to one! Screens are in front of our face all the time; the TV, your phone, your computer.. and now smartwatches. It’s nice to have a break and not have to look at another screen just to check the time (if your watch isn’t dead like mine all are).

Apple Watches won’t be a part of my collection anytime soon – it’s just not my style! I enjoy having more than just a band as options to my watch style.

A majority of my collection consists of Michael Kors watches – I’m a big fan. So, I thought this might be a helpful blog post/YouTube video as many of us are going back into work or slowly starting to, which means we’re back to dressing up for work again!

Below are links to watches I saw were still in stock:

My sunglasses collection!

I’ve always loved having sunglasses to make any outfit pop! It especially helps on days I don’t have time to get ready or.. just don’t feel like it.

Lately, I’ve really been into Quay sunglasses – the oversized ones.

I decided to shoot a video to showcase my sunglasses collection! I typically will cycle through three to four different pairs for a while until I decide to switch up the set!

Check out my video here:

I couldn’t find links for my older pairs, but here are some for the ones that are still online:
