Comfortable, casual, and effortless. Those are the words I would use to describe this summer season. I love all the timeless styles and easy to wear silhouettes.

As we move towards the fall shopping season; as you know, retail is roughly one season ahead, continue to invest in classic pieces. When it comes to handbags, stick to neutrals, black, and dark red hues, berry hues, and olive green.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be coming up in a couple of weeks. If you are not familiar with this annual sale, it is a great time to stock up on beauty products, beauty tools, workout clothing, pajamas, underwear, and simple basics. I recommend taking a look at your closet and seeing which basics need to be added or replaced. This will help you to start making a list of what you need. The sale offers good discounts on these basics and beauty products! I will keep you posted on the best deals when the sale arrives. Love that!

Oh, did you hear? Frosted lipstick is making a comeback! I have to admit, I love frosted lipstick. So, I picked up a few frosty colors, so stay tuned! My review will hit the blog next week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer continues to be a great time to invest in beautiful handbags, jewelry and the like. Espadrilles are also hot right now since they can easily go from the street to the beach, and of course, they make any outfit look perfect for summer. Love that!

Do you like stocking up on basic essentials such as pajamas, workout clothing, bath and body products, tee’s and more when they are on sale? Good news! The annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is coming up in July. This sale is all about stocking up on basics and finding a few key pieces for your wardrobe or beauty cabinet. Stay tuned as I scour the sale for the best items to save big on.

Summer got here fast! Temperatures are soaring, and it didn’t really feel like we had a spring. Where is the fog? I went from jeans and sweatshirts to summer dresses, there was no in-between! But I digress. . .check out this dress with pockets!

Yes, you read that right, dress with pockets! In case you missed my post earlier this week, this summer dress has pockets. I don’t know why I love having pockets in a dress so much. I carry a handbag which contains everything I need, but sometimes pockets are nice for an emergency Kleenex or just as a place for resting one’s hands. I don’t know, men have pockets in everything, so I want pockets too! haha

It’s espadrille season! While finding espadrilles with foot support is harder than getting a job as a QB in the NFL, there are solutions. These wedge espadrilles offer a bit of heel support due to their wedge nature. While not ideal for walking around town, they are fine for small amounts of walking. I was able to survive without foot pain for roughly thirty minutes the other day, so I will call that an espadrille win!

The summer 2024 season continues our quest for investment worthy pieces to add to our wardrobes. Keep investing in timeless, high-quality items which can last for years. I hope ultra-trendy dressing does not return. I love the chic, timeless look of investment dressing. Don’t you?

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for summer coverage and reviews!
