Style... in abundance

Fashion Friday

July 31, 2020

Well friends, we’ve reached the end of another week.  You know what that means.  Fashion Friday!

Fashion in Film

I listened to the first episode of this podcast co-hosted by Mark-Paul Gosselaar of Saved by the Bell.  Yep, Zack is back! This was such an iconic show for me and it got me thinking of all my favorite fashion moments from TV and film.

The Calvin Klein dress in Clueless.

The red gown in Pretty Woman.

Marilyn’s halter dress in The Seven Year Itch.

Anything Audrey Hepburn ever wore on screen.

There’s a reason people win Oscars for costume design.  Clothes are like another character; they help bring the story to life.

If you’ve never seen Down With Love, you must watch it.  I ADORE the costumes in this movie!

What are your favorite fashion moments in film?

Are People Still Shopping?

I’m sure this comes as no surprise to you, but the fashion industry is not doing well.  In store traffic is virtually non-existent, stores are filing for bankruptcy left and right and the industry as a whole is having to rethink the fashion system.

So what is actually selling?  Where are people shopping?

Unsurprisingly, athletic wear and loungewear are the two categories that remain unscathed by the pandemic.  They’re thriving, in fact.  Lululemon, Nike, Adidas and Under Armor increased their sales by almost 50% year-over-year.  Any store offering deep discounts is doing well too.  Zara, LL Bean and J. Crew also reported good sales last month, thanks mostly to their almost 80% off discounts.

Are you still shopping?  If so, what are you shopping for?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

And that brings me to the frenzy-inducing Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  If one sale gets people out of bed to shop, it’s this one.  While I ADORE Nordstrom, this sale is not for me.  It discounts upcoming fall merchandise and does a good job of offering wardrobe basics.  While basics are important, I’m a treasure hunter.  I’m not interested in the same cardigan that 10 million other people have.

While I have covered this sale for the past 4 years, I will not be covering it this year.  There are, however, some great deals on beauty and loungewear I’ll be shopping.

Specifically, I’ll be restocking:

Beauty: this and this

Home: this and this

The best bra ever

The best undies ever

Will you be shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 Top Picks

July 12, 2018

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018The day we’ve all been waiting for is here!  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale launched today for cardholders!

Fear not, if you aren’t a Nordstrom cardholder, you can apply for one here.  Don’t want a Credit card?  Apply for the Debit card that links directly to your bank account.

Public access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins on July 20th.

If you watched me on Instagram TV, you know I shared tips for how to shop this sale.  There is a definite strategy involved, so I recommend following these tips.

  1. Buy now, return later.  Things will absolutely sell out fast.  Utilize Nordstrom’s amazing return policy (plus free return shipping!).
  2. Stock up on basics.  This is the sale to buy those bread & butter pieces that normally never go on sale.  Save the specialty items and trendy pieces for another time!
  3. Hone in on quality.  My recommendations below are pieces I’ve personally tried and tested.  With thousands of items going on sale, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with analysis paralysis.  My commitment to you is only to recommend the very best.

Click on the images below to shop.

Boots
Active & Loungewear
Sweaters
Pants & Tops
Jackets & Coats

 

You can also shop my picks in the Shop tab above, under Nordstrom Sale.

Happy shopping and let me know what you get!
