Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022: How to Use the Sale to Save Big!

July 6, 2022 by Katie H.

Spanx faux leather leggings from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview is here! I am sure that if you follow any style blogger on Instagram you have already heard the news. I have always struggled with how to cover this sale. At times it can seem overdone, especially when it’s July and your entire Instagram feed is covered in sweaters and booties. But I’ve always loved following along with this sale. Not only do I shop it from time to time, but I also use it to build my fall wish list. Today I will tell you how you can save big by shopping through the sale, but I will also tell you how you can use this sale as your shopping guide for fall even if you don’t feel like buying anything in the actual sale.

Affordable Summer Shirts To Wear With Shorts

June 13, 2022 by Katie H.

Top || Shorts || Shoes || Hat || Sunglasses (similar)

Every season I go through my closet to see what clothes I want to keep and what to get rid of. I also like to see what’s missing, so I can make a wishlist of items to shop for each season. This year as I was going through my summer clothes, I realized that my wardrobe was lacking in cute summer tops to wear with shorts. I have tons of basic tank tops and t-shirts, but I needed something fun that I could wear with shorts this summer.

Comfortable & Affordable Bra Review

May 9, 2022 by Katie H.

Affordable bra review

To me, one very important wardrobe staple to own is a good bra! I believe that what you wear under your outfit can completely make or break the look. If you feel uncomfortable in the wrong bra or you keep having to adjust yourself throughout the day, you’re not going to love what you are wearing as much.  That’s why today I wanted to dedicate my posts to comfortable and affordable bras.

Affordable Comfy Work Pants

February 1, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

Comfy work pants
I recently realized that there was something that was missing in my wardrobe and that was a classic pair of black work/dress pants.  I don’t really have the need for a pair of dress pants.  It doesn’t fit the needs of my lifestyle, but it is an important wardrobe piece.  You never know when you might need to dress professionally for something.  That’s why I started the hunt for a good pair of black dress pants a few months ago and guess what?  I found nothing!!

A round up of my favorite beauty finds of 2021

 

As much as I love sharing clothes, I also love sharing my beauty finds.  That’s why at the end of every year I always like to do a review of my favorite beauty finds from the year.  This year I bought a lot of repeats of my favorite beauty products, but I also made a few new purchases that I wanted to share today.  I will also go through a couple of misses that I didn’t love at the end of the post.

Round up of best selling clothing items and popular blog posts of 2021

I hope that everyone has been enjoying their Christmas break.  I have been semi-un-plugged this last week, meaning that I haven’t been glued to my phone as usual and staying up late to work on blog posts.  It’s been amazing!  I’ve spent a lot of time with my family and I have been loving every moment.  But I am missing the blog and I am getting excited for this upcoming year.  I’ve been taking a break from creating new content, so this week I just wanted to do some review posts of 2021.
