My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

August 19, 2020 By kimwheeler 6 Comments

I’m away in Utah moving my son in to college, but I wanted to share some of my own picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which begins for the general public today. This is a once a year event and the best time to get some great pieces to add to the wardrobe. I usually buy a few of my favorite bras and panties, a pair of jeans and any cute fall thing that might catch my eye..

Tops on my list are theses cute Madewell jeans. I have these in black and have lived in them the past two years. This wash and mini-flare of these Cali-Demi Boot Jeans will be cute with ankle boots as well as flats and sandals come late summer. I love the quality of these jeans and how they hold their shape.

I’m also a fan of these cropped black Kut from the Kloth jeans for fall with their raw hem. I know I would wear these a ton with white button ups and big sweaters in cooler months!

This ALLSAINTS drape top has cool details and would be a chic with jeans and cool sandals and work for fall with its pretty russet tone.

I also love ALLSAINTS sweaters and I noticed this cashmere Tara Sweater in many lovely colors. It’s oversized, so I would order a size down. Their sweaters are like butter and last for years. The two I have have been my favorites forever.

I really need no shoes for fall, but I have been missing a black bootie in my wardrobe and the Cole Haan Val Bootie has have cute details and the right heel height. They also come in a pretty rust and off-white.

I also love the Vince Camuto snake print which is a good neutral…

These Soft Brand Slipper Mules would be my daily go-to come fall. I love the ease of slide ons!

A pull on bootie is another thing I know I’d wear a lot and would be super comfy as well as a modern update to my closet. This Blondo Bootie is a good buy, so cute in this color- and a few others. People say this runs narrow on reviews..

This Sam Edelman Trench has lovely details and it’s single breasted – something that’s not always easy to find and a lot more flattering on most people that the double-breasted trench. It reminds me of my Burberry I bought on this same sale many years ago and sadly lost.

If you can splurge for the Burberry they have this Kensington Trench on the sale in a tan or black taffeta which is a nice lightweight coat for all seasons especially good for travel. The Burberry Trench run tight and smalls so you should order up if you haven’t tried one on before.

This Sam Edelman dress is a pretty cute piece for the price..

I also spied this cute pair of leather Adidas. If you don’t yet have a pair of white leather sneakers, these have that tennis look and a reflective heel and logo for a little flair..

Another great buy is this set of Diptyque set of 5 Travel Size Candles. Cute for holiday gifts too!

All the beauty exclusives – many made just for this once a year sale for Nordstrom can be found here.

Hope you all are having a good week. I’ll share about our four day Tahoe trip and all about Utah coming soon!

Five Picks from The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 25, 2018 By kimwheeler 1 Comment

I’ve been trying to buy less and really what I need so hyping another sale seems wrong. However, I have always loved the Anniversary Sale as I used to work at Nordstrom in college and I know how this is a good chance to grab a nice piece for you fall wardrobe before prices go back to full price. I mean a piece that is worth spending some money on and more like an investment.

I haven’t been shopping too much this summer, and I honestly haven’t even had a chance to read anyone else’s posts on this sale, so I hope I’m not repeating what is already out there.  I popped over to my local Nordstrom with a friend yesterday and here is five items you may want to check out now that the sale is public that I thought were worth highlighting..

These grey Frame jeans caught my eye and are a nice addition to the fall wardrobe that will pay for themselves over time in cost per wear. Frame is my favorite denim brand and if you haven’t tried them you will not be disappointed. The quality is top notch as is the jean material which always feels so nice on. This blue version with cool trouser pockets is also part of the sale.

This Veronica Beard jacket is a good price for one of their unique jackets. I love this leopard version of the army jacket and it would be so cute in fall paired with a chunky turtleneck sweater or a white ruffled blouse with jeans and loafers.

This James Perse Jacket is another cute style for a California cool fall. I love the stone color though it also comes in khaki and black.

Speaking of loafers, I have been looking for a slide on pair. The Gucci Princetown slides are so beautiful, but still really a lot of money. Tory Burch has this darling mule in a color called Desert spice which I can see wearing a lot come fall. It also comes in a beautiful navy. The Nordstrom brand Halogen also has a good choice slide in rust and the recently popular white. Either would be a nice accent for autumn clothes and all those beautiful muted fall colors.

A quick chat about summer sandals and accessories. A quick chat about summer sandals and accessories. Yesterday I was at @toryburch and picked up a few pieces I’ve had my eye on for my summer capsule. All of them will be great for travel too. Tory does accessories so well and there were too many cute things. 😍

Since Cindy and I just did our Signature Style sandal posts, this clip has some tips for what to think about when choosing a sandal to your summertime closet mix.

If you haven’t checked out our posts, the link to my ‘Summer Sandal Edit’ is in my bio. And on Saturday’s weekend blog, I’ll share these pieces and some similar ones in different price points.

I also found, some very comfortable and cute, modern slip ons as well as the new offerings in linen and other cool materials from Birkenstock. Of course, I couldn’t leave out espadrilles which are always a favorite and have that French holiday feel.

A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Car A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Carmel Valley. We try and get here at least twice a year for a little weekend retreat. 

It’s in the perfect location as you can enjoy all the charms of Carmel -and soak up the sunshine while you’re at the resort just up the road from the coast. The rooms, pools, gorgeous gardens, and mountain views are soothing. It’s my happy place and if you are near Carmel, I can’t recommend it enough.

We had houseguests and now a free day, but the weather has been dark and cool for this summer kick off.. 😕 Hoping you all get some time to enjoy this extra day off.

This plant is a peperomia plant which is so easy to keep alive! Yay. It loves to grow in cool shapes and needs just a few ice cubes here and there..

Hope you’re all having a good start to the week!
