It’s getting brisk over here in the best way, and with the sunshine still blessing us with its presence, this can only mean one thing: it’s time to swap our straw for felt. National Felt Hat day is today, and I’ve been looking for a new one since ol’ faithful has seen better days. Truth be told, I will probably still wear my OG felt hat because it fits so well, but I’ve been shopping for a new style to…

This week was short but sweet, and by sweet I mean bittersweet with the start of school and beginning of the end of summer. The best news in this edition of Friday finds comes in the form of seamless shorts, which you need ASAP for all your casual transitional looks. However you’re transitioning into this season of change and uncertainty, remember to take care of yourself. Change is the hardest but most beautiful part of life.…
First order of business this weekend: soak up every last bit of summer. As luck would have it, we need not lose any time poolside or seaside because we can shop from right where we are. Truth be told, I expected steeper discounts from some retailers (who shall remain nameless and subsequently are excluded from this list). However, there are still good deals to be found from end of season staples to new fall pieces and back to school styles.…
Happy Women’s Equality Day! 100 years ago on this day, United States Congress passed the 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote. It blows my mind to think that some of our grandmothers were unable to vote, so to honor them, let’s perform our civic duty and get out and vote in November. Do it for your foremothers, do it for yourself, your sisters, and your daughters. I’m happy to see some of my favorite brands, from Chaser…
Man this week is a good one on the interwebs for two of my favorite things: reading and shopping. There is an important anniversary that has nothing to do with Nordstrom, and some pretty sweet deals on forward looking fall fashion and end of the summer season closeouts. Here are this week’s Friday Finds:…
Happy National Bow Day! I am new to the bow game, and my daughter needs them as her hair is now at that stage where her bangs hang in her eyes but any haircut she could possibly get would turn her into Lloyd of Dumb And Dumber fame. To save her from her first bad haircut, I’ve tried all of the baby hair accessories and these are the best baby bows:…
There is no accessory I love more than sunglasses, so today they’re in the spotlight where they belong. I had to share this buy one get one 50% off sale because it’s just too good, and because one of my most prized pairs is included. It seemed like the right time to share that while I consider myself a collector, there are four specs in particular that I wore nonstop all season long. Where would we be without sunglasses? Probably…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to all Nordstrom cardholders, so I rounded up my picks by category for this edition of Friday Finds for early shoppers (if you don’t have one you can shop on 8/19.) The best deals during this sale are on fall wardrobe staples, classic items, and beauty and baby goods that typically aren’t marked down. For example, the best infant car seat which I used for all three of my children is included, as…
I intended on publishing this on National Underwear Day last week, but we were hit with a hurricane and lost power and WiFi for a week. One of my best friends was visiting me from Portland, so we turned lemons into shandy and used our off the grid time to reconnect and read books like true pilgrims. We finally got power today, so I’m back, and figured I should go ahead and toast the holiday that was. Better late than…
Part of my love for resort wear is deeply rooted in my distaste for being uncomfortable in high temps. Whenever I’m enjoying downtime and it’s hot out, I’m usually wearing a coverup even if I’m not swimming or going to the beach. Case in point: I was actually on my way to dinner in this pic. There is no better way to beat the heat and boost your mood like throwing on the ultimate resort wear staple. Summer for me…
