Moody Style: Leather & Lace

You may recall that I bought this BlankNYC Faux Leather Jacket over the summer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s by far one of my favorite pieces that I picked up.  If you don’t already own a leather jacket, then I would suggest adding this one to your wardrobe.  This jacket is so versatile because it can be worn all year long – in the fall/winter you can wear it with a pair of dark rinsed jeans or a cute fall floral dress and in the spring/summer you can wear it with white jeans or even some pretty pastels.  It also comes in two colors like this camel/brown that I'm wearing and black.  And the $98 price point isn’t bad either considering the faux leather looks like the real thing. As far as the fit is concerned, I think the jacket runs a little small.  I’m wearing a Medium over this lace tunic and I think it would fit fine over a thin sweater too.  Well, what do you think about adding this faux leather jacket to your fall wardrobe? Let me know what other ways you would style it in the comments. Happy Friday Friends!

Moody Style: Now and Later

Happy Friday Eve! I hope that you all are having a great week so far.  I’ve been traveling for work since Sunday and I still have one more day to go, so needless to say I’m ready for the weekend.  I’m also ready for a vacation.  I realized earlier today that I haven’t taken a real vacation this summer yet.  I’ve gone on mini trips here and there, but nothing like a true vacation where I’m sitting on a beach soaking up the rays or exploring a new city.  Hopefully, I’ll get something planned soon, so stay tuned.

The sleeveless cowl neck shift dress that I’m wearing was one of the first pieces that I wore from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  This dress is so easy to wear now by itself in the summertime with some cute sandals and accessories.  And it will transition perfectly later into the fall season.  Just add some booties and a denim or utility jacket and you’re ready for cooler weather.  A few weeks ago, I packed this dress to visit my sister out of town for the weekend.  This dress is so soft and lightweight, that it was easy to add to my luggage.  I decided to wear this dress to church because it’s comfortable and it’s a versatile piece that you don’t have to think about.  When I originally saw this casual dress online, I didn’t hesitate to order it right away.  I had a feeling it was going to be a flattering dress and I wasn’t disappointed.  The cowl neck has just the right amount of draping to it without make you feel too constricted like a turtleneck.  And this dress has pockets, which automatically made it one of my go to dresses for rest of the summer.  Did any of you get this dress during the #nsale?  If you didn’t you should still think about it.  The price isn’t bad at $38 and it comes in about 9 colors that include solid and stripe options to choose from as well.

Moody Picks: #NSale Best of Home Décor

The best sale of the year is slowly coming to an end.  I know that it’s hard to believe, but you only have one day left to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I just realized that I’ve shared so many of my favorite fall clothing items from the sale, that I neglected to share some of my favorite home décor items. So I just took a moment to look thru Nordstrom's website one last time before the sale is over and I found 18 of the best of what’s left of the home décor section. There are so many great hostess gifts and decor items at affordable prices! If you want to update your home, just pick some fabulous prints, a soft and fuzzy throw blanket and some amazing scented candles! Check our my picks below and start shopping now because all of these prices will go back up tomorrow.

Moody Picks: #NSale Best of What’s Left

I’m not sure if you all are still shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but I’m constantly online looking for restocked items. There are still a few items I’m hoping to get before the sale ends, so I’m literally on the website at least 3 times a day.  I’m really hoping my items pop up during the final week of the sale. I knew that items were going to sell out fast, but I had no idea that they wouldn’t be restocked as promised by a few sales associates.  Although I’m a little disappointed that I’ve missed out on some items, I’m happy to report that there are few of my favorites that are still in stock.   I’ve picked out the best of what’s left of the sale based on the sizes and/or colors available and they are all under $200.00  Check them out below and let me know what items you’re hoping to still buy before the sale ends.

In The Mood: My Nordstrom Anniversary Purchases

Happy Friday everyone! Today  is the day!  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially open to the public.  I’m sure most of you know that this sale is the best time to stock up on some great fall essentials.  If you’ve had your eye on a particular item, there’s 3 reasons why you shouldn’t hesitate to add it to your shopping bag.  First, Nordstrom offers free shipping and free returns, so if you’re on the fence about an item or it doesn’t fit correctly, just return it – pretty simple.  Second, your size and favorite colors are selling out fast.  Hopefully, Nordstrom will continue to restock their inventory, so don’t give up if your item is no longer available. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for a few items to pop back up that are still on my wishlist.   And finally, the sale ends on August 7th and the prices will go back up on August 8th.  The only thing worse than seeing an item that got away is seeing it get away at a higher price point.  Don’t let this happen to you ;)

I wanted to share with you a  few of the things I’ve bought so far and most of them are still in stock online.  I’m anxiously waiting for my items to arrive, so I’ll start taking pictures of everything when they get here.  Check out my shopping bag and let me know what are some of your favorite #NSale picks so far.  Are you planning on shopping the sale this year?  Have you bought anything yet?  Let me know in the comments below!
