Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Every July, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and Providence Restaurant Weeks collide and all is right in the world.  I always say it’s my favorite week of the year, and this year is no exception.  For anyone who doesn’t know – the Anniversary Sale is the best sale Nordstrom has all year.  For 2 weeks, the new fall stuff is all marked down.  Later, everything goes up to regular price.  The deals are usually pretty great, and I always do way too much damage.

I was going to go through and show my top picks, but got overwhelmed because there’s so many good things!  I decided to just show what I picked and purchased myself.  Since the sale started while I was away on vacation, I shopped everything online at, like, 6 am, so I actually don’t have anything yet to say if I like it all.  I am especially excited about the booties (I’ve been wanting a similar, low pair for a while now and love these even more!) and the faux fur vest (such a good deal!).  I am secretly hoping I hate a few things because I shouldn’t have bought all this stuff. And, this is probably the one blog post ever that I hope Nick doesn’t read! haha!

I can’t wait for my packages to arrive later this week to try everything on!  I never want summer to end, but I will be excited to wear all of my new clothes come September.  If you’re a cardholder (best/worst thing of life) you can shop the entire sale right now here.  The sale is open to the public on July 17th!

Happy shopping!

Happy almost 4th of July weekend! I’m so excited – Nick and I are both on vacation and we rented a beach house for the week.  I’m going to unplug (for the most part) and be in full-on vacation mode.  My blog is also going to be undergoing some maintenance, so please bear with me as I likely won’t be posting during that time.  I hope to be back up and running soon, and I have so many outfits lined up to share with you all!

You can follow me on Instagram @once.upon.a.shopper in the meantime.  I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
