My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

I always love when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale rolls around.  I think a lot of people feel like it's overkill when every blogger known to man promotes the sale- so consider this my preemptive apology for contributing to that.  The sale is so noteworthy because it includes new fall pieces (as well as summer favorites) and even designer items.  Prices are marked down 40% through August 5th- here's what I've got my eye on:

Shop My Picks:

1.) Rebecca Taylor Stripe Midi Dress, $325 $194/ 

2.) Red Leather Clutch $79.90 $49.90/
3.) Kenneth Cole Wool Jacket $230 $149/

4.) Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans $159 $129/

5.) Lace-Up Ruffle Cami $59 $38.90/

6.) Rag & Bone Wool Hat $149 $130/

7.) Pave Round Stud Earrings $98 $64.90/
8.) Gray Halogen Scallop Edge Sweater $59 $39.90/
9.) Leigh Melange Wrap Dress $56 $37.90/

10.) Vince Camuto Movinta Bootie $150 $99.90 (also loving these and these) 
11.) Leith Rib Wrap Sweater $59 $39.90

A few other favorites from the sale-

My favorite workout leggings of all time 
Cute sunnies
a classic bucket handbag and a great leather tote

this is a must (and so are these).

Happy Friday!  I'm currently on vacation with my family in Seaside, Florida- we've been doing a share house on the beach together the past few summers, and I love getting to spend a week hanging with my niece and nephew.  

XOXO,

Sam

Best of 4th of July Sales

Today after work I'm heading out to the Hamptons to celebrate the 4th.  My friends and I have been getting a share house for the past few summers near Montauk and it's always my favorite time of the year- it's fun to lay by the pool, relax, and just catch up outside of the city.  I wish I could stay for the entire week, but I have a big design install next week in Martha's Vineyard that I need to prepare for- so going up for the day will have to do!    If you're in the mood to shop, I've shared my favorite 4th of July sales below for your perusal...
