Stanford Beauty Brunch fall 2024

Stanford Shopping Center hosted a fabulous beauty brunch over the weekend for local bloggers such as myself. This beautiful event included a delicious catered meal from Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar near Bloomingdale’s. There was also chocolate from Laderach Chocolatier Suisse which was equally delicious. Yum!

The event was intimate with roughly seven shops from Stanford Shopping Center showcasing beauty products and two tables of local bloggers. It was so much fun to meet new local bloggers as well as speak to people in person who I normally only interact with on social media. I love a good party!!

In addition to yummy food and being social, we were able to check out some new and existing beauty products from our favorite shops at Stanford Shopping Center. I fell in love with the Guerlain perfume from Neiman Marcus. I’m trying to decide if I would like to purchase the “Patchouli Paris” or the “Feve Gourmande” as my fall season fragrance. They are both so pretty!

You know me, I love Chanel beauty! Bloomingdale’s showcased their Chanel N 1 collection which includes a must-have mist. I definitely feel like I need to add this line to my beauty routine. Love!

If you have been following along, you know I also love Estee Lauder products. My travel beauty bag is filled with skin care from Estee Lauder because their products are perfect for reviving my skin when I travel. They have new night cream we can use in conjunction with their Advanced Night Repair line. I am obsessed!

Sephora at Stanford Shopping Center showcased skin care from Drunk Elephant which is vegan and improves skin’s firmness. I definitely want to test out their products.

Nordstrom showcased products from Bobbie Brown and I discovered they have an amazing vitamin enriched face base primer which is perfect for my GenX skin. I am definitely adding this to my morning skin care routine. Love it!

Lastly, Dry Bar was also showcasing their services. They are the perfect one-stop-shop for a blowout when you have a special occasions, big event, or just want fabulous hair for the day. Love that!

Best Footwear Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024

Best footwear Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 from top left: suede boots / black flats / neutral loafers / suede ankle boot / black sculpted heel boot / silver flats / sneakers / black boot /

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale always has a few fabulous boots and shoes. This year, there seems to be more choices. Love that!

Classic black boots are essential in everyone’s closet. If you don’t have a good pair in your closet, I love these two choices. One’s a classic black boot with a stacked heel, the other has a slightly sculpted heel. They are both fabulous!

Sneakers are a closet staple too. I love this pair which has a small silver accent on the logo. They are neutral enough to wear every day, with any color combo.

Ballet flats and Mary Jane styles are still big as we head into fall. There are several choices in both categories. Love them!

Of course, suede boots are always perfect for fall. Clean lines, and classic silhouettes are what’s hot right now.

So, without further ado, here are my favorite boots and shoes from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024:

Best Sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024

Best sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 from top left: black stripe sweater / tan sweater / ivory sweater / navy sweater / olive short sleeve sweater / grey sweater /

Sweaters! I am a huge sweater junkie during the cooler months. My favorite article of clothing to reach for when the weather cools down is a cozy sweater. The sweaters offered during the Nordstrom Anniversary are light to medium weight, so they are perfect for fall, and for life here in California.

For the fall 2024 season, Nordstrom is showing a lot of collared sweaters and stripes. I love both of these features as I find the natural V-neck from a collared sweater to be flattering, and I love stripes!

You can never have enough sweaters, don’t you agree? Love!

So, without further ado, here are my favorite sweaters from the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Thanks for stopping by, and stay fabulous.
