The summer is going strong! Everyone is all about beautiful, high-quality handbags and summer essentials such as espadrilles, tees, and outdoor living.

This Citronella candle is both chic and practical. I love that it repels bugs while I am enjoying a meal outside. It also has a sweet scent which makes it a citrus floral. Love that!

These espadrilles are super comfy and have a little bit of a wedge heel. If you have Planter Fasciitis like me, I wear an arch support band with them and I can walk pain-free. Love that! If you have haven’t read it yet, check out my post about relieving Planter Fasciitis pain.

If you are not a Nordstrom cardholder, you might not be aware that the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is starting next week. You may also hear this sale referred to by its nickname online, which is the NSALE. I will post about it early next week detailing my favorites from the sale. It is a great time to stock up on basics. Save shopping the fall trends for when fall actually hits the stores, this sale is all about workout clothing, pajamas, basics, and essentials. I usually fall for a sweater or two too. haha

Is everyone in a beach mood? I know I am! Shades of blue and green are hot right now, as well as this straw tote and these comfy espadrilles which evoke a seaside vibe. Love that!

This summer is also all about investment dressing and building a timeless wardrobe with pieces which transcend fleeting trends. I am loving luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship. If you missed it earlier this week, I reviewed my new Mulberry Amberley and have fallen in love with the Mulberry brand. They offer timeless styles, exceptionable materials and craftsmanship while being eco-conscious. Love that! Check out my review here.

If you have some time off next week consider shopping your closet and finding items to either donate, sell, or move to the front of your closet. After you organize what you have, make a shopping list for fall. The Nordstrom sale is coming up in July and you’ll be able to snap up a handful of items for your wardrobe at a discount. Love discounts! I am researching what is on sale as we speak, so stay tuned for my curated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping list!

As you shop your closet, take a peek at the fall color trends here to help you decide what to store or move to the front of your closet. Also remember to continue storing logo-wear. They will eventually be trendy again, just be patient if you are a logo-fan.

Happy summer season! As you know, summer 2023 is all about classic style and investment dressing. Love that! So classic investment handbags are trending as well as timeless accessories and fun nail colors.

You don’t have to live in a neutral world when it comes to an anonymous handbag. Feel free to invest in handbag colors which make you happy. Love green like me? Grab a green bag! Is yellow your summer color? Pick up a bag in yellow! The only rule with investment dressing is to stay away from logos, and overly trendy styles. OK fine, that’s two rules. haha

This weekend is a good time to shop your closet for fall. I know I know, we just started summer, but the Nordstrom sales will start next month, and it is a great time to pick up basics, workout clothing, pajamas, and other wardrobe essentials. Look at your closet and see what needs to be replaced, what you don’t wear, and what doesn’t fit. Donate or store what you remove and then start making a list of what needs replacing. I will post more details in July, but right now, start with the basics!
