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.

My favorite sale of the year is here – well, sort of. Almost. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened today to top tier cardholders (which does not include me) and will open to all cardholders on Thursday. (The sale opens to the public on July 17th.) I spent a whole lot of time combing through the sale this past week, and here are some of my favorite finds.

This year, the denim and the sneakers are the two main standout categories to me. I saw so many great denim finds that I actually forced myself to try on all of my jeans over the weekend so that I could make room for new pairs. And while I don’t need any more sneakers, there’s no harm in looking, right? If you’ve had your eye on a pair of New Balance 327’s, now is the time to grab them. I seriously wear mine ALL the time and think they are so comfortable.

And while most of the sale finds are fall pieces, above I’m highlighting some of my favorite summer-ready buys that you can buy now and enjoy now. And below I’ve got some of my favorite denim, designer (that leather jacket!), sneaker, and boot finds. Obviously, this is one of a million sales going on right now (hello, Amazon Prime Day, Circle Week, Walmart+ Week, etc.), and it can get a little overwhelming. Just know that sales come and go, but if you’re shopping for something in particular, here’s hoping you find something you love.

I’m probably going to sound like a broken record here, but these just might be my favorite fashion finds from Walmart yet. If you’re picky with fabrics like I am, then you’ve probably decided there’s linen and then there’s good linen. And the dress above is the good linen. The thick kind that doesn’t get insanely wrinkled every single time you move. (Listen, I know that wrinkles in linen are normal, but sometimes things just start looking way too crumpled.) The cut of this dress is also just so good for summer.

And I’m rounding up a few more favorite finds below. Whether you’re looking for affordable summer staples or maybe a designer splurge, there’s a little something for everyone right now at Walmart. I mean those white dresses…come on! So good. Happy shopping and happy weekend ahead, friends.

Not trying to jump the gun here or anything, but we’ve had two days of sunshine in SoCal this week, and I’m thinking summer just might have finally arrived. And well, we are ready for it. We recently did a little backyard refresh with new outdoor furniture from Walmart (these swivel gliders are SO nice), and we obviously couldn’t forget about the furry family members.

My dogs are obsessed with this indoor/outdoor bed, and I love that the cover is easily machine-washable. We swear by these leashes, and I’ll definitely be grabbing some of these calming treats to get ready for July 4th fireworks. From the best selection of dog beds to adorable accessories and toys they’ll love, Walmart has everything you need to keep those tails wagging all summer long.

I can’t even believe it, but Christmas Day is officially ten days away. Less than two weeks! And while my holiday shopping list is not yet done, at least I’ll be stress-free when it comes to getting dressed. From holiday travel to dinner parties to cozy couch hangs at home, Walmart seriously has easy, comfy pieces for every occasion. The knit set above seriously feels so luxe, and I can’t recommend the sweater dress below more. (Thinking I may need to snag the red version too.) Also don’t sleep on the Free Assembly denim – this pair fits and feels like a way more expensive pair.

Here’s hoping the next ten days are jolly and festive and filled with love…and some stress-free shopping.

Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Eric and I are in Louisiana for the week with my family, and when I’m home for the holidays, there are always two things I can count on: rain and stretch pants. We checked the rain off the list yesterday (and most likely again tomorrow and Friday), and as for the stretch pants, these faux leather leggings from Walmart have been the BEST. They look and feel exactly like a more expensive pair that I own. They’re high rise, stay put, and have just the right about of sheen.

I had been looking for a new tunic-length sweater to wear with leggings, and this one is GOOD. It’s super soft, just the right length, and is just so comfy. It’s currently on sale for $20 for Black Friday, so I went ahead and snagged a couple more. If you’re on the hunt for a new sweater or two, I’m telling you, you have to check out the selection at Walmart right now.

Whether you’re looking for comfy cozy looks or a little holiday sparkle, Walmart has so many great finds right now. Scroll below for a few more easy finds that I’m loving. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

It’s been a minute since I shared some favorite fashion finds from Walmart here on the old blog, but y’all – this season, the finds are GOOD. This time of year I’ll take any and every excuse to dress up, and Walmart is bringing it with sequins, faux fur, bold metallics, must-have boots, and some of the prettiest (and most comfy!) gold heels I’ve seen in a while. Whether you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving festivities with friends and family or already planning those holiday party looks, head over to Walmart before these favorites sell out.

OK, friends, it’s been a minute, but my latest Walmart order came in, and (I’ve said this before but…) this one may be my favorite one yet.  Literally almost everything I ordered worked out like I hoped, but here are some of my favorites from the bunch.

1. These linen blend green pants (above) – I had high hopes for these linen pants, and they were even better than I hoped.  Online, they look like they’re a cropped length, but in person, they’re definitely a longer length which I prefer.  Super comfy with pockets and an elastic high waist, these also come in black, and I’m pretty tempted to order those too.  (The bodysuit that I paired with them is sold out but now comes in a tank version that’s around $10 and so GOOD.)
2. These wide leg cropped jeans (below) –  OK, these were a total surprise.  I have been needing to order a new pair of denim (in a smaller size, yippee!), but I didn’t really want to commit to a higher-priced pair while I’m still working on some sort of fitness journey.  So I ordered these to try and holy moly I am thrilled.  The fabric feels like an expensive pair, the fit is super comfy, and I really love the wash.  Oh, and they’re under $30.  These also come in a couple different washes as well as white denim which I will be ordering in my size for sure.
3. These white denim shorts (below) – I’m pretty sure I had this same pair of shorts last year in ivory, and I wore the crap out of them.  So when I saw them in stark white this year, it was a no-brainer.  I go up a size or two in these because that’s just how I like to wear denim shorts.
4. Multi-band slides (below) – These are SO cute and look just like a more expensive pair that I’ve seen everywhere this year.  When I got them in, I thought maybe they’d be too narrow on my feet, but they’re actually super comfy and flattering on.  These come in four colors – the black ones are probably my faves, but I already have black sandals that are similar – and are currently on sale for $12.  I do love the blush pink and mint green options for spring and summer.

St. Patrick’s Day is this week, and while I’m not always 100% into celebrating, I am conveniently VERY drawn to all things green this season.  And luckily, green is everywhere for spring in every shade you could want.  From lightweight sweaters and comfy loungewear to bold handbags and sandals, I’ve found so many new favorite green pieces lately.

So today I’m sharing a couple of favorite St. Patty’s Day ready looks with quick shipping that can arrive in time for the party.  (Also apologies for the last vacay-ready look to all of you still stuck in snowy weather – I’ll be in Palm Springs for St. Patty’s Day where it will be 85 and sunny, so I had to!) You can also check out this post for a few more green ideas.  Hope everyone has a great week ahead!

It’s no secret that I LIVE for an athleisure slash loungewear look, and when I can find great comfy basics that are also budget-friendly?  Well I’d be a bad blogger friend not to share.  I snagged these joggers (and the matching sweatshirt) a few months ago actually and have worn them so much that I just ordered the set in a second color.  (I went with white, but there are currently 12 colors to choose from.)

I wash and dry (over and over) with zero issues, and I just love the overall fit.  (I own the joggers in small and medium but prefer the small, and I have the sweatshirt in a large.)  I also love that you can easily mix and match the pieces with other closet basics.  If you’re like me and always on the hunt for the best weekend lounge essentials (or maybe looking for something cozy to kick back and watch the Super Bowl in), I can’t recommend this set more.

Hope everyone is having a great start to February!
