As promised in yesterday’s sale post, today I’m sharing some favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which is currently open to cardholders. (The sale opens up to everyone on July 12th.) While I don’t think there’s any reason to go nuts and buy up the whole store, I do think there are lots of great wardrobe staples (and some fun finds too!) that are worth snagging.

As in years past, I think the denim section is the strongest. This Madewell pair is great for dressing down, and I love the Good American Pallazo jeans for a bit more polish. (Side note, last year I bought a pair of the Palazzo jeans from the Anniversary sale and still probably wear them the most of any jeans I own. They are a different, slightly thinner fabric than the ones sold by the brand the rest of the year, but I like them better. I don’t know, food for thought if you’re on the fence!) And for a little more edge, this studded pair will be perfect now and into fall and winter. Other denim pieces I have my eye on include this staple denim button-down, and I’m loving this cropped denim shirt jacket. (I already own this in a lighter wash and wear it ALL the time during our confusing spring/summer weather.)

Other categories of note include the shoes and in particular the boots. (The taupe color on these Marc Fisher boots is perfection.) I also think these Veronica Beard sneakers would go with a ton in my wardrobe – they’re currently hanging out in my cart. The dresses in the sale didn’t really thrill me, but I do think this one is really cute and have plans to wear it with cowboy boots this fall. I don’t mess with the sweaters and outerwear in the sale anymore as I live in Southern California and just never know if we’ll get fall weather (we won’t), but I do think this little cotton sweater is a great staple piece for me.

The beauty section is always fun and a great time to stock up on favorites that you use throughout the year. Personally, I’ll bypass all the kits and jumbo sizes and probably just grab this mascara duo (my fave!) and this SPF shimmer oil from a brand I love. And that’s that! Adding in my complete list of favorites below in case anything else should strike your fancy. Have a wonderful rest of your week, friends!

You may have noticed a few hundred HUGE sales launching on the interwebs this week, and truly as far as big sales go, ’tis the season right now. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (which I’ll be covering soon) launched for top tier card holders today; there are a slew of deals for Target Big Circle Days; and maybe most exciting for many, Amazon Prime Day is currently in full swing. While the Prime Day deals are truly endless, some of my favorites I’ve found in the fashion department come from Shopbop. From summer clothing essentials to swimsuits, shoes, bags, and accessories, there are tons of great pieces that are currently 25% off with code PRIME25.

Varley knit sweater; Varley shorts; Saint Laurent leather tote (look for less here); Le Specs sunglasses; Melinda Maria tennis bracelet (use code NIKKIP); Target sandals

If you have yet to dip your toe into the delicious fabrics and fits that are Varley, then I suggest you run far, far away from this post and never look back. I held off on trying the brand for as long as I could because I knew I would love it, and well, it’s not exactly cheap. Last fall I was given a couple of pieces for my birthday and became officially hooked. Fast forward to Christmas and Eric telling a Nordstrom sales associate “she’ll probably want anything by that Varley brand” – and he was right. Their “Double Soft” fabric is seriously buttery, and the fits just feel elevated beyond your usual loungewear.

So if you’re already a fan like me (or willing to empty your wallet and become one), then I present to you, with warning, some of my favorites from Varley’s newly launched spring collection. (And while you’re at it, peep the look below for some PRETTY new jewelry pieces from Gorjana – all so GOOD.)

It’s been a while since I shared any new jewelry finds around here, but allow me to introduce you to one of my current favorites, Melinda Maria Jewelry. The line is filled with options to layer, mix, and match, and their tennis bracelets and necklaces are truly so pretty in person. Pretty much everything is available in gold or silver options, and there are even some fun and colorful blue opal pieces that I love.

The pieces are plated (instead of solid gold and silver), so they do recommend removing before swimming/showering and avoiding excessive contact with oils and lotions to protect the plating and semi-precious stones. That said, everything is really well made and covered by a lifetime guarantee – pretty unheard of with most brands in the market. And if anything catches your eye, you can use code NIKKIP for 10% off your purchase.

Well, gals – it’s that time of year again. It’s July, when the sales are everywhere you turn and every blogger and her mom is pushing links at you daily. While I won’t be covering every single sale that’s happening over the next couple of weeks, today I’m sharing some of my favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale because honestly, I enjoy shopping the sale myself. (The sale is currently open for “Early Access” to cardholders and will open to everyone on July 15th.)

In years past, I rounded up EVERYTHING that I loved in the sale, but these days, I’m only interested in things that I really love that I can use right now. (Let’s face it, we never know if or when sweater weather will show up in Southern California. It’s a big IF.) This year the things that caught my eye the most are denim, sneakers, and designer sunnies (like I need anymore sunglasses). Oh, and socks. I really just freaking love Stance no-show and athletic socks. I would also absolutely buy these slippers if I didn’t already own them.

But below I’ve also included a couple of sweaters, loungewear pieces, and boots/booties just in case you’re looking for those. (Side note: these boots are giving major Staud vibes for a fraction of the price.) And I’ll be sharing more fave finds over on my Instagram in stories all week long. If you’re shopping the sale, here’s hoping you find just what you’re looking for. Happy shopping, friends!

A holiday blazer, but make it SoCal warm weather friendly. That’s exactly what I love about this cute and comfy little cape blazer from (where else?) Walmart. Wear it solo with a camisole and flowy skirt like above, or layer it over a dressed-up turtleneck and leather leggings. It makes for an easy and chic holiday look, and luckily it was just restocked in all sizes. Grab one before they’re gone again, and I’d recommend sizing down – wearing a small here for reference.

xoxo

November has barely arrived, and the holiday sales have already begun. But what’s not to love about that? beek has been one of my favorite brands of shoes for years now, and if you’ve had your eye on something from the line, now is the best time because their biggest sale of the year is here. Technically, the sale starts tomorrow, BUT you can shop it today using code NIKKI20 to take 20% off anything on the site.

beek’s shearling-lined styles are some of the coziest fall footwear you’ll find, and every style is just so chic. The Penguin bootie in today’s post is so comfy and kind of give me elevated Ugg vibes. I also LIVE in this Gallito style and have my eye out for a restock in the Vulture. You can also check out this post for a few more of my favorites, but if you plan on shopping the sale, don’t wait because some styles/sizes will definitely sell out.

Here’s hoping you snag a little something to make the upcoming holidays the coziest yet.

There’s no question, fall weather and fall fashion are my favorites of the entire year, and lucky for me, we’ve actually had a couple of chilly days and nights around here to bust out a sweater or two and my current favorite boots. (They’re a splurge, but they really do look great with so many things in my closet. Adding a look for less here that’s worth checking out too!) Today I’m sharing a few fall looks I’ve been wearing lately. Hope everyone has a great start to November and my favorite time of the year.
