Classic fall outfit inspiration for fall 2025

Classic fall outfit idea: classic jeans / olive cardigan / golden earrings / pink nail polish / oud fragrance / suede boots / black handbag /

Fall is hitting stores! This is a great time to start putting classic fall outfits together in order to prepare for the fall season. Getting outfit ideas helps us see what we have at home as well as what to invest in for the fall 2025 season.

Olive is a huge color trend this fall season, and so is chocolate brown! We are seeing suede, cardigan sweaters, fun buttons, classic cut jeans and light pink.

I love this look as a classic fall outfit which can easily be a go-to look for the fall season. Love!

Classic, timeless is in for the fall season! So chic outfits are hotter than hot. Love this one!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more late summer, and early fall coverage!

Moulin Rouge! Broadway San Jose

wearing: statement earrings / golden chain necklace / black dress / green handbag / blue nail polish / Mary Janes /

Moulin Rouge! is right here in San Jose now through Sunday! It was so much fun attending the premiere last night and getting a chance to have a date night with my hubby. Love that!

We enjoyed arriving early to the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts and exploring the lobby. After grabbing a glass of wine, we admired art inspired by Moulin Rouge! and also the Moulin Rouge! themed shop. We even spotted a few guests dressed in theme, including a man in a sparkling blazer and top hat! What fun!

The show itself was amazing. I love the lights and the set, and of course, the singing! Satine’s voice was out of this world. She was played by Arianna Rosario. Her voice was beautiful!

If you live in the Bay Area, or you are visiting right now, don’t miss out! Grab your tickets for a performance this week at BroadwaySanJose.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the show!

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! I love this annual sale because you get a sneak peek into fall, and if you love something, you can buy before it returns to full price. Love that!

If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know the drill. Depending on your spending level, you can start shopping today, tomorrow, or Thursday. If you don’t have a card, the sale opens to the public on July 12. The sale ends on August 3, 2025, so if you like something, snap it up before it sells out or ends up back at regular price.

Every year, I recommend investing in basics from the sale. This is a great time to snap up underwear, workout clothing, jeans, and classic items. This year, Nordstrom has a great selection of boots, sweaters, and jewelry. So, I recommend investing in a few seasonal items from those categories too. I plan to get at least one of pair of boots, possibly two. I also want a short sleeve sweater as well as a long sleeve sweater. Jewelry is starting to make a comeback, so a little bling sounds good too!

So, without further ado, here are my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 to help kick off your fall 2025 wardrobe!

Best Sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

This fall 2025 season, sweaters are getting chic! Look for Chanel inspired styles, classic v-necks, sweaters inspired by golf and tennis, neutral hues, interesting knits, short sleeves, shades of dark red and olive, and the return of the cardigan sweater. Love this! I can’t wait to invest in fall sweaters. They are my favorite way to stay cozy in the fall season! Love!

These are my favorite sweaters from the Nordstrom sale, which sweaters are your favorites?

Best of Beauty Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

Beauty products never go on sale, except during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, also known as the NSALE. There are a few fabulous deals from the sale worth adding to cart. Also, if you are looking for a new hairdryer, I own this hairdryer and love it, and the price is right during the sale! Love!

I also noticed my favorite neck cream and eye pencils are on sale. This is amazing! I plan to stock up!

Best Boots and Shoes Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

The best part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the footwear! The shoes and boots are at great prices, and perfect for fall! Western style boots and motorcycle boots are trending as we head into the fall season. If you don’t already have them in your wardrobe, this is a great time to invest in at least one pair, if not more! All three boots featured above are in my cart! Love!

We are also seeing a continuation of Mary Janes, slingback shoes, kitten heels, and lots of suede for the fall 2025 season. The pointed toe is asserting dominance over other toe styles too. So, keep these styles in mind as you shop the sale. Here are my favorites from the footwear section of the sale!

Well, that’s it! I don’t go into the store because there are too many crazy people. The best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025 is online. It is calm, relaxing, and you can see everything in your cart before checking out. Online shopping is easier, more peaceful, and definitely more efficient! Love it!

So, there you have it! The best from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025. Happy shopping, and be sure to reference this post for ideas and the best picks from the sale!
