Friday Faves - Anthropologie

/

Everyone has been excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, which is warranted because you can find some good savings. But one of my favorite places to find things on sale is Anthropologie.  They have some of the prettiest items - I would feel pretty every day if my entire closet were their collection.  Here are some of my favorites that are on sale now, all for less than $100.

PLUS, all sale items are an extra 20% off with code: saleaway.

Don't you feel pretty just looking at them? ;)


 

It's Not too Late - Nordstrom Sale

/

If you've spend any time on the Internet in the past week+ you know that the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is in full effect. While we've been having a heat wave lately and most things on sale seem to be cold weather items, it's hard to pass up on some of the good savings they have for items you will wish you had 2 months from now.  Here are some of my favorites, good for now and later - get them while you can!!

Hoping for some sun

/

Wonky weather in LA lately. Warm enough for sundresses, but not all that much sun.  Put on this light little dress in the hopes the sun will come out, and I can get my vitamin D fix for the day.

First time I wore this dress was for my husband's Grandpa's 90th birthday party last week, which was why we had gone to Arkansas.  I was initially a little concerned about the security of the top and straps - I didn't want to have to worry about keeping my top up while chasing my toddler around. But the style is very secure.  Didn't have to adjust a strap once.  And trust me, I did a lot of running around. (Oh, and the Electric Slide.)

 
 

It's a dress that you can't help but feel pretty and feminine in.  I envision wearing it dancing on some hot night in resort in Latin America (not that I've ever been dancing at a resort in Latin America, but in my imagination it works!  Give me some retro waves and a flower behind my ear....can you see it?)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You can snag the dress for yourself below - it's less than $20!

Now counting down the hours til the long weekend begins....do you have fun plans you're looking forward to?

Happy Hump Day to all.  Its the middle of the morning and I'm ready for a nap already.  We're having some way strange weather here in SoCal right now.  Rained yesterday, but with tropical humidity.  Woke up this morning to 90% humidity and we don't have AC.  I know much of the country deals with high humidity much more than we do here (which is why so many people move out here.) So when we get it we REALLY notice. And it basically means to me not to both with the blow dryer in the morning, cuz that I one battle I will not win.  Air dry and natural frizz it is today.

If you missed it, here's a look back on the past couple weeks when the air moisture level was more normal. 

 
 

MIA and Friday Favorites

/

I've been MIA for a week. Sorry (did anyone notice?)  I don't have any real excuse other than general life and writer's block.  (I stayed active on Instagram, do you follow there?) But I'm back to today, and I have ideas coming up. So, back to our regularly scheduled program....

As I mentioned, been active on Instagram, and have found some fun little boutiques/shops from around the country that I never knew existed, but have some very cute stuff.  Thought others might enjoy knowing about them as well.
 

Jess Lea Boutique

A little on-line only shop that has bright colors and cute styles, and seems to be a blogger favorite.  And she offers FREE SHIPPING on all orders. It's currently stocked with some cute summer styles.  I'm particularly loving these pieces:
 

You can follow Jess Lea Boutique on Instagram too here, for new arrivals and styling ideas.
 

Entourage Clothing

Another one that offers FREE SHIPPING, and nothing is over $42. Can't beat that.  They have some cute patriot pieces up right now for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, and a lot of cute sundresses, tops and rompers.  Pretty big inventory selection too.

Perle Market

Another one with FREE SHIPPING, and most things are under $50. Doesn't have a huge selection, but there are cute, affordable pieces and accessories, even some for your mini-me.
 

Follow their Instagram for updates and styling ideas.
 

Morning Lavender

Feminine and pretty pieces.  Free Shipping over $75, but hey, you can get a couple pieces for that much.  They just launched a Bridal Shower Collection (tis the season) so you will undoubtedly find a lovely dress for a shower or wedding you have to attend.
