Even though summer is in full swing, we can’t help but look forward to fall fashion.  The thought of putting on a heavy coat makes us feel a little uncomfortable, but seeing all these adorable booties and plaid dresses has us itching for cooler weather.  Well, maybe not quite, but we are planning for it!  One of our favorite ways of planning for our fall wardrobe is shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  We keep going back and realizing we have forgotten some key items, like this make-up pallet!  We are also on the look out for amazing end of summer sales, and finding great transition items, like these adorable lace-up flats, that will look great with a little black dress now, and jeans in the fall.  They aren’t on sale, but at under $100 we want to get them in the red version, too!  Shop our latest steals and deals here:

a crossbody bag

tribal midi dress, summer style, Valentino rock stud espadrilles, Chloe handbagHandbags are probably our biggest weakness.  If it was (financially) possible, we would be investing in new bags constantly.  We can’t be the only ones that feel that way?!  But, since that is not the case, we take a long time to decide on a bag before taking the plunge.  They can be a rather big investment!  A few things we think about are: 1) wearability- does it go with 75% of our closet? 2) durability- will I be able to wear this bag without having to worry about a scratch, etc? 3) lifetime of the bag- will this color/shape/size be out of style next year?  All that to say, we do occasionally break some our our own rules!

After taking all that into consideration, we decide whether to invest or not.  One of our new favorite places to shop for all things designer is Luisaviaroma.com.  LVR.com offers all the latest styles by the top designers, free shipping & free returns.  There is no limit to what you can find on this site!  Their handbag collection is amazing.  We’ve been big fans of Chloé handbags for awhile and have had our eye on the small Marcie crossbody bag.  The size of this bag is perfect for a crossbody bag, meaning you can actually fit more than just an iPhone, lipstick and keys inside!  The hard part was choosing a color.  It comes in black, red and cognac.  We decided on cognac because it is a color that can easily transition into fall/winter and is a great neutral, too.

PS: With our temps now nearing 100 degrees, this midi dress has been a great addition to the wardrobe.  It’s light and flowy, super comfortable in the heat.  At $68, we wish it came in other colors to wear for the rest of the summer!  Oh, and don’t forget to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!  See our favorites here, here & here.
