Refreshing and New

Having access to presale days at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale meant I had first crack at the best things. There are limited quantities and they do run out so I was disappointed to go back online to buy what was in my shopping cart and find I’d missed out on several things.

I don’t believe in replacing your whole wardrobe each year, far from it, but when things are wornĀ out from the previous year, replacement is a good idea. The Nordstrom sale starts today for all. I’m not going near the store because the crowds will be insane and the parking near impossible… so online it is for me.

This is a great time to freshen up your lingerie and sleepwear. There are some great styles that they carry all year at higher prices. I bought this wrap last year and love it!

There are several different styles in this fabric, some more robe-like than others. The directions say you can wear it for afternoons out but I only wear it for mornings at home. I did order this travel shawl which I might wear out…I’ll let you know when it arrives.

 

The beauty and fragrance section also got my attention. I ordered this makeup brush kit by Trish McEvoy. Her brushes are amazing and her entire product line is cruelty-free. It’s also back ordered and worth waiting for. Quality makeup brushes do make a difference in how your makeup looks.

There are a lot of great booties on sale. I bought a pair that has alreadyĀ sold out. I put another pair in my shopping cart but it was sold out by the time I got around to buying it so if you want a pair this year, jump fast!

There are some amazing coats on sale so if you live in a cold climate, now is a great time to shop for one. Remember, the best things go early so shop as early as you can.

I’m off to spend the weekend with my grandson. Do you have anything fun planned?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

    On-line shopping with Nordstrom can’t be beat with free shipping both ways. I LOVE Nordstrom. : )
    Piggy-backing on Jennifer’s comment, my husband and I moved to the Monterey peninsula a couple of years ago, and we love it. The weather is mild — essentially no hot weather — unless traveling inland, and there is an amazing wine region as well. I enjoy the small town feel. Although, sadly, there isn’t a Nordstom. I’m not sure why. šŸ™

    1. Would you mind sharing where on the Monterey Peninsula? We plan to look down there and I’d love some idea where to start! Thanks

    Thanks for reminding me about the anniversary sale at Nordstrom. I ordered a nice pair of booties on line at the sale price. Last year I passed them by, because they were full price. The anniversary sale is the time to buy for the cold weather to come, while we are all simmering in the heat this summer.

    1. It’s 99 degrees here and I just ordered another cashmere wrap! Go figure. I do know it will cool off eventually and I’ll be very glad I got these things on sale.

  3. Good finds! Love the makeup brushes. I need to go take a peek at the sale! In spite of the fact I’m wearing weird cottage clothes right now, fall will be here soon enough and you’ve inspired me.

    1. I so envy your weird cottage clothes, Jen! You are the lucky one!

  4. Hi Jennifer,
    Thanks for showing us the Trish McVoy brush set. I really need new brushes and will order them.
    It’s nice and cool down here on the Monterey Peninsula so anyone who wants to get away from the heat should come. šŸ™‚
    Have a great weekend! Annette

    1. I should schedule a trip down, Annette. We vacillate between oppressive and suffocating heat these days! Lucky you!

    I have a few pieces from Barefoot Dreams and love them – super comfortable and definitely nice enough to wear when going out for a casual event. These prices are very good too.

    1. Perhaps I’ve worn mine too often as a home garment to feel comfy in it out of the house! The new wrap may feel totally different. Such comfy fabric. I love them too Katie!

  6. It’s funny you say that about your Nordstrom’s because we have two beautiful Nordstrom’s stores within 10 miles of each other and when I drive by this morning while out running around it was a ghost town. I believe gone are the days of the crazy crowds for Nordstrom shopping experience. Maybe there are lots of women that feel the same way we do.
    Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

    1. Ah! Maybe everyone is afraid of the crowds. Online shopping is just so convenient, it is my preferred way of shopping.Have a great weekend yourself Trina! Xx
