Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It's that time of year again, The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is upon us!!!! Early access for cardholders starts today! Even though we are still in the haggardly throes of a sticky hot summer, I'm doing a bit of self-care daydreaming about the crisp-cool weather ahead and browsing sweaters.

Halogen Three Quarter Sleeve Sweater

Just a simple form-fitting pink sweater. I like unexpected shades like pastels for fall, just as much as the classic autumnal tones.

Halogen Open Front Cardigan

Speaking of autumnal, a vibrant red cardi will carry you from October into the holidays.

Chevron Knit Cashmere Sweater

This pullover reminds me of the blue sweater John Candy wore in The Great Outdoors, in a good way.

All in Favor Bishop Sleeved Sweater

And a little unexpected sleeve-drama for you in this faux-wrap pullover.

As always, by this point of the summer I start yearning for fall. But this year especially, I'm chopping at the bit for crisp cool weather and layered looks. Something about wrapping up in warm soft fabric, covering up, protecting myself is even more appealing than usual. Wonder why that is...😉😜

What's on your Nordstrom wish list? Let me know in the comments!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that. Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns! Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans. Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please! Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast. Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut. Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton . What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years... FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out. And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics. That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear. Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids. I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a
