My Mom had a little garden party and snapped these fun photos for me! It was so much fun taking pictures with my Mom. She was totally cracking me up! She kept telling me where to sit, where to stand, and how to turn my head. I smile when I look at these pictures because it was so much fun taking them with her!

This outfit was great for a summer garden party. I love the comfort of the wide leg pants, and the lighthearted feel of the floppy hat. This will definitely be my summer go-to garden party outfit this year!

If you are looking for a comfortable, and versatile, summer outfit idea, this is a great one! The tee is comfortable and soft, the wide leg pants are easy to wear, and the hat is so much fun! I also love these espadrilles, which are very comfy too!

Don’t forget to stock up for fall at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale! I have found so many great pieces for the autumn season. You can shop the sale online here.

Thank you for stopping by!

Best shoes boots Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2016

Pictured from top left: lace-up flats (hot IT item at a great price, similar pair on sale under $90 here) / slip-on sneakers / low heel black booties / fringe booties (I bought these in black and LOVE them! Fringe is hot for fall!!) / Mary Janes (I bought these in black, Mary Janes are hot for fall!!) / burgundy booties / rain boots (classic closet staple at a great price-must have for rainy days!) / tie-up heels (IT item!!!) / riding boots (classic closet staple-I love Tory Burch shoes, super comfortable and high quality!) / grey booties (cute and classic!)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, with public access beginning on July 22, 2016. There are SO MANY shoes and boots, so I thought I would navigate the sale and bring you my favorites; in order to help you save time!

The shoes and booties I chose are either classic, closet staples, or reflect the runway trends for fall 2016. This fall, fringe on shoes and boots is still a HOT trend. Look for more tie-up shoes too! Street sneakers and slip-on sneakers are still an IT thing for casual days, and Mary Janes with thick, or stacked heels, are the IT pump of the season. I love this pair of Mary Janes because they reflect the trend perfectly, and the price is great! I always love a deal on a trendy item. 🙂

These rain boots are as much a wardrobe staple as a Burberry trench coat for rainy days. I am so excited they are on sale in black! That is about as classic as it gets. If you don’t already own Hunter boots, this is a great opportunity to get a pair! Love the sale price!

I am very excited about these riding boots too. Tory Burch makes really comfortable shoes and boots, so finding a classic pair of riding boots made by her is a dream come true! The price is amazing too.

I hope you are enjoying the sale, and finding great deals! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Have you ever spotted an article of clothing that spoke to you? That is exactly what happened with this summer hat. I have a white sun hat I have been wearing for the past couple of years, but when I spotted this floppy, fabulous hat, I knew it was time to update my hat game!

I love how dramatic this floppy, summer hat looks. It elevated these black and white striped, wide-leg pants for summer, taking it from a regular summer outfit, to something exotic! I’m looking forward to wearing this sun hat with more outfits this summer; as well as wearing it at the beach!

Don’t forget to check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! There are so many fabulous fall items on sale for a limited time. You can shop the sale by clicking here.
