NAPLES DROPS FROM ANTHROPOLOGIE

These Naples Drop earrings from Anthropologie are stunning and unique! When I first spotted these I knew they would be perfect for Summer.  I love how the wood accent gives it a more casual feel which is why I styled it with this light and airy swim cover up.  (I would say the weight of these is light to medium).  My definition of easy styling is when you only need to throw on 1 to 2 accessories and you’re out the door!  With busy schedules it’s not realistic to have everything planned out, styled and organized the night before.  At least that’s not realistic for me.  So having simple statement pieces like these earrings you can throw them on in just 2 seconds with your jeans and a T.   Also I scored this swim cover up in the Caribbean for only $6!!….but I linked some similar styles below.  Most of them just got marked down too…yay!  xoxo

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today! I put this LOOK#2 together for anyone looking for a relaxed chic look.  Jeans, comfy flats and a fringe cardigan get a little dressy with this fancy watch and cross body bag.  I would even bring this fringe cardigan to the beach to use as a coverup once the temps drop at sunset.  For product availability, pricing and details click images below.  Happy shopping …and good luck with finding some great finds at the sale!  xoxo

I was so honored to work on this fun little project with Anthropologie for the launch of their new jewelry line.  If you’re looking for a versatile chandelier earring that will transition from summer to fall…you will love this pair!  With the beautiful row of turquoise beads it’s sure to tie in to your summer wardrobe.  I love the contrast with the hammered gold metal and the warmer colored stones.  The weight of these earrings are medium.  Not super heavy.  I was able to wear them all afternoon at the pool…and wore them the same night for dinner.  More details below…  xo

The Sale is almost here!  If you’re a Nordstrom Card holder it actually started a couple days ago…you can PRE-sale all items before the general public either in store…or at www.nordstrom.com.  (TIP: have the last 4 digits of your Nordstrom Visa handy…you will need it to access the sale items)  I’ve studied the sale racks long and hard and I’m excited to share not only my top item picks…but the way I would put everything together.

 I styled this classic skinny jean with a crisp sleeveless white collard shirt.  I love the bow detail on the bottom.

If you’re not in the mood to wear jewelry…watches are always a classic look.  This one is very similar to a Michael Kors watch I bought 6 years ago at the anniversary sale.  It’s been one of my favorite purchases of the sale!  If you see me out wearing it…please don’t ask me what time it is (too lazy to have the battery changed…but I still wear it…lol).

Throw on some black sunnies to add to this classic look.  And no one will know if you didn’t have time to put on your eye makeup.  This is one of my time saving accessories that I love.  Although I’ve tried to keep them on while I’m grocery shopping…etc.  But I can never last with them on indoors.  I get claustrophobic and can’t see!

I love this brand!  This bag is a great neutral that will transition from Summer to Fall/winter.  Love the tassel detail on the top too!

These are the same style shoes I’ve posted lots of in the yellow.  I love these shoes!  Super comfy and looks great with almost anything!  Dresses, skirts, pants and jeans. This is also a great neutral staple you can wear lots of this Fall.  It will add a little pizzazz to an ordinary outfit.

Keep a look out for more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Looks that I’ve been putting together!  xoxo  Happy shopping!

Love this newer color way!  I actually prefer it to the black one I already own.  (I have the white color way too….eeeeekkk, would I be crazy to own all 3??)  I’m going to say yes and move on…but I just wanted to share with you in case you don’t own this top yet.  This is one of my favorite tops because it’s easy to throw on, you can wear a normal bra, fabric is comfy, it has a fun print, works with leggings, it has style and you’ll get lots of compliments.  You can shop this look here and below. xoxo

  I’m pretty much obsessed with anything tassel ever since I was introduced to the fun accent working in the interior design world.  I love how they added a row of tassels to the bottom of this skirt!  Something about this skirt reminds me of being on vacation and lounging in the warm sun.  But I’m currently wearing pants and a sweatshirt in So Cal….boooo.  Where is the summer weather? My kids and I have been looking forward to pool and beach days…but it’s on hold until the sun comes back!

This is a new arrival at Jcrew and you can shop it below!  xoxo

So I bought this cross body fringe bag a couple seasons back at TARGET. It’s probably one of my favorite purchases from there. I’ve gotten so many compliments on this bag…and always feel bad to say it’s not available anymore. Well…I’m super excited because I found one that’s almost identical! Even better…it’s currently on Sale for under $22! Details below…xo

Is it a long tunic? Or a very short dress? When in doubt tie it with a bow. Oh…and don’t forget your pants. Xoxo

Chambray Romper from Anthropologie

Chambray pieces have been my go to staple lately.  It’s the perfect canvas for pretty much any shoe, handbag, jewelry, hairstyle…even lip color.  What I love most about this romper is how easy it is to throw on with a couple accessories and you’re out the door.  With 2 busy kids…I love having effortless pieces like this in my wardrobe.  Not only is it easy to style and wear but the comfort is there too.  And you can tell it’s a quality piece that will last many seasons.

Accessories

I styled this look with a fun, yellow beaded necklace and this gorgeous blue and white scarf.  I tied the scarf on my handbag for one look, draped it over my shoulders for another, and when the wind picked up pretended I was Superman flying in the sky.  I know…I’m a nerd.

Handbag

 You’ll probably see this bag in a lot of upcoming posts.  It houses everything I need…from my kids jackets, snacks, flip flops, cell phone, cosmetic bag, baby wipes…even fits an extra change of clothes.  This bag is “real life”.  One of my favorite features are the dual straps.  I can wear 5 different ways!  The denim is really different too.  You don’t see too many denim bags these days.  And I love how it plays off the beautiful tan leather handles and straps.  This bag is also perfect for travel due to it’s roomy interior.   Xoxo
