building a fall wardrobe + giveaway!

July 22, 2016

One of the most common things we say is “I have nothing to wear.” That is not true at all, but sometimes it seems like it when we have a closet full of pieces that don’t really go together. This year, we are trying our hardest to build out a fall (and winter) wardrobe with pieces that can be mixed and matched, providing many looks that will help to solve the “what to wear” dilemma. With fall clothing already in stores and the Anniversary sale in full force (public access starts today!) we tried our best to build a complete fall wardrobe. Be sure to scroll down because we are giving away four $100 giftcards to Nordstrom!

To start, we took inventory of things we need and then got shopping
Stick with neutrals: We decided to stick with many neutral items like this black side slit sweater, this white ruffle blouse and a grey ruffle sweater
Mix in a few prints and colors: Oxblood is our accent color, along with navy. We added in a few prints like this floral cold shoulder top and a striped long sleeve top
Accessories: Keep a neutral theme here, too. A classic black tote, an oxblood crossbody and a bag with a tassel are perfect for most of the fall wardrobe. We also chose pink sunglasses, statement studs, and a statement necklace
Shoes: A classic flat, slip-on sneakers for comfy days, a neutral lace up flat, booties in our accent color and of course, black booties are a must

romantic top

July 21, 2016

A romantic top is a great piece to have in your wardrobe. We saw this romantic top while we were out shopping last year. Not really sure how much we would wear it, we just couldn’t resist the feminine look and breezy feel of it. Now almost a year later, we have worn it so many times! At first we thought of it as a dressier option and wore it with dark jeans and Chanel flats, but then we tried it like Stia is wearing it here, and realized it is a really versatile top!

Shop this look:

the best sales this week- #nsale

July 20, 2016

For our best sales this week, we knew we couldn’t get any better than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so we spent our time this week searching for more of the best things we could find! We already shared some favorites on this post and some super helpful tips and strategy for the sale here. This really is a great time to look forward and take stock of your wardrobe moving into fall. We have! While we were taking stock for the sale, we realized that we love our gray suede over the knee boots so much (and wore them so much!) we had to get them in black, too. Picking up some new jeans for fall is on the list, these are a tried and true favorite jean and we just got this distressed pair and love the fit and the price! It’s a good idea try to pick up at least one item in the fall trend color, like this handbag or these booties. And we would completely remiss if we didn’t get something adorable for William- and our husbands, too 🙂 We hope that you guys find some things that will take you into Fall and through Winter! Happy shopping!

Under $100:

A beautiful poncho that comes in four colors, a girl can never have too many skinny jeans and this shirtdress is perfect with booties

Designer Splurge:

A classic coat that will never go out of style, tan booties that go with everything and over the knee boots that should be in everyone’s closet

You can’t go wrong with an over the knee boot with tassel detail, we love this fringe boot and an over the knee boot in a great neutral and at a great price
