BAF Weekly IT list from top left: coral top (under $50) / white drop earrings / summer nail polish, sparkling brown, sparkling pink / convertible black bag (IT bag under $300) / small yellow pouch bag (IT bag under $500) / sunglasses / straw tote bag (IT bag under $500) / blue slides / black slides / linen jogger pants (super comfortable!) /

How are we half-way through July already? I feel like this year is just flying by! Since we are in the middle of summer vacation, we are all grabbing handbags, shoes, and clothing we need for the warm summer months. After all, these temperatures last well into September, so cool clothing and shoes are a must!

I live in these linen joggers during the summer months. They are really cool and comfortable. If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know my doctor has me on a diet, and I have been losing a lot of weight on my path to getting healthy again. I am down twenty pounds, and I have ten more to go! My linen joggers are a size large, so they are a bit baggy. I just snapped up a new pair in medium and can’t wait to rock them! So, you know I love a pair of pants if I keep buying the same pair! Now that I have a pair that fits me again, stay tuned! You may see them on the blog shortly!!

Small handbags, and this straw tote, have been my go-to bags this summer. They seem to be for everyone else too! I love it when there are fabulous IT bags available under $500. It makes the bags that much more fabulous! Love!

Sliding in and out of shoes is a must during the summer. I know I am not the only one who kicks off my shoes in the car during the summer! These plastic blue slides are amazing for pool and beach days. They also double as slippers when I travel. I never set foot on a hotel floor. Ew! These slides protect my feet from hotel floors, hotel showers, and probably more! haha They are a must have!

How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

nordstrom anniversary sale blogger picks how to shop best

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 from top left: oversize stripe tee / drop earrings (under $100) / ivory hobo bag (under $200) / eye pencil set (I’m addicted to these!!) / light blue v-neck sweater (under $50) / distressed crop jeans / chain booties (under $100) / chain loafers (under $100) / nail polish remover set (I love this remover and always stock up during this sale!) / mini satchel (I own this in yellow and love it! See review here) /

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 is here! If you are a big spender, you already have access to the sale today. Every two days, another level has access-and you know who you are! If you are like me, and you don’t have an account at Nordstrom, then we are all waiting for public access which begins on July 28, 2021. I am waiting, not so patiently!

In the past, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has been marketed as a way to snag great deals on new, fall merchandise. While this sounds great on paper, are you ready to shop for fall? I know I am not ready yet. I have found the best way to shop this sale is to stock up on essentials that I need all year long.

The two most important things I like to score a deal on during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are nail polish remover and fitness clothing. Yes, you read that right, nail polish remover! This set lasts me a full year, and I use it once a week. If you have been following me for awhile, then you know I am addicted to nail polish, and constantly changing the color of my nails. This requires a nail polish remover which is gentle on my nails, and gets the job done. This one does! I am a huge fan!! If you get nothing else from this sale, buy this nail polish remover! It is the first thing to drop into my shopping cart.

I also plan to stock up on a few new pairs of workout leggings. I love this pair, and I always buy a few every year during this sale. In addition to nail polish remover and leggings, I am excited for this set of eye pencils from Laura Mercier. I have been using these pencils for close to two decades, so this set is a dream!

Casual clothing is always a good option to stock up on during this sale too. I love this oversize stripe tee, these jeans, and this lightweight sweater which is great for foggy days during the fall season.

Chain details are a huge trend right now. If you are looking for something trendy to save money on during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 then these two pairs of chain detail footwear are for you. I definitely want to get at least one pair. Which pair do you love more? The chain detail booties, or the chain detail loafers? They are both fabulous!

I don’t really need earrings, but I want them! This pair of rose gold drop earrings are definitely going in my shopping cart! I am also eyeing this classic handbag by Coach. It’s a great price! Here are a few of my favorite things from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 we can all shop online:

summer street style trends it bags

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: hot IT bag / summer nail polish: sparkling pink, sparkling brown / convertible IT bag (under $300) / maxi skirt / yellow puffy slides / black woven slides / black classic IT bag / small straw tote bag (IT bag under $500) /

The BAF weekly IT list is here! We are all still loving IT bags, both classic and current. The chic ’90’s look for handbags is still going strong, and should continue well in the next season. This classic straw tote bag is also hot, and it is selling out at many retailers. I linked it where you can still find it in stock.

This flowing maxi skirt has a prairie skirt look along with a beautiful pattern on the fabric. It’s a great closet staple which can be worn casual with sandals or espadrilles, and also dressed up with heels or slides. Love it!

Puffy slides and woven leather are hot trends in shoes! These two pairs are comfortable, and they are perfect for the summer season. The black slides can easily flow into the fall season; since temperatures usually remain high during the fall.
