Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Guide 2016 + $200 GIVEAWAY!

I did some serious damage on the start of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yesterday and was so excited to share my picks with you all that I overnight shipped everything I purchases so from the #Nsale. I spent all morning unboxing and trying on outfits so that I could snap some quick mirror selfies of outfits I quickly put together to show you, as well as give you my first impressions. Please excuse the terrible lighting in the following photos. I have the worst lighting in my entire house, especially my office.

I mostly purchased moto jacket (my weakness), cardigans, ankle booties and over the knee boots. I also purchased a couple hats, scarfs and jeans.

Reviews:

This suede moto jacket is one of my absolute favorite pieces from the #Nsale this year. I also bought the burgundy one, which I love the most. This jacket fits like a dream and is beyond gorgeous. Suede is such a big trend in the fall and winter and this jacket is a wardrobe staple. I believe this color is already sold out but will hopefully be restocked a few times, so keep checking if its not available right now.

This long sleeve stripe top is so soft and comfy, I will be living in it this fall. Striped tops are such a basic and essential part of every girls wardrobe and you can never have to many!

These Steve Madden booties are also a great piece for fall. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. I love the almond toe and chunky heel.

 

I love this casual and comfy fall look.

These Vince Camuto cutout booties are my absolute favorite boots from the #Nsale. I have been on the hunt for cutout ankle booties in a neutral color for months now and these ones are perfect. They fit true to size and are really comfortable as well.

Basic tees are perfect for layering under coats and scarves in the fall. I bought this one in white and grey and might pick up a few more colors. It’s really comfortable and only $15! Fits true to size, wearing an XS

Scarves are one of my favorite fall accessories, so I grabbed a couple from the sale.I was instantly drawn to this one because of the light neutral tone and frayed hem.

I really love this double banded felt fedora. I love the neutral color and it fits nicely on me.

Blanknyc is one of my favorite affordable brands that is actually really good quality. I especially love their moto jackets and jeans. I love the frayed hem on these jeans and they are comfy with a stretch to them. They fit true to size and hit right below my ankle (I’m 5″2).

Another moto jacket I picked up from the #Nsale. I love the fittedness of this one and how it comes in at the waist making it figure flattering. It’s a great neutral color for fall and also comes in burgundy. Fits true to size, wearing XS.

This is the other Lush pocket tee I picked up as mentioned above.

This is the other pair of jeans I got. They are also from Blanknyc and remind my slightly of my other ones called “good vibes.” The wash is different but the distressing is nearly the same. They are comfortable with a stretch to them. They run very long on me but I like the way they look with a high roll. Fit true to size, wearing 25.

Another favorite bootie of mine from the sale are these Steve Madden Chestnut Booties. I love the cutout side detailing on them and chunky heel. The chestnut color is a perfect neutral shade for fall but they also come in black.

I picked up two dresses so far and this was one of them. I absolutely love everything about this dress. It’s a sleeveless turtleneck dress and is extremely soft and comfortable. I could live in this dress! It comes in 10 colors and is under $25~ I plan to buy more!  Fits true to size, wearing XS

One of the cardigans I picked up was this beautiful soft pink one by Halogen. It’s very lightweight, soft and I love the side slit detailing. I’m wearing an XS Petite and it fits me perfectly.

Taupe is one of my favorite shades, so when I came across these Vince Camuto lace-up pumps, I had to have them! Lace-up detailing has been a huge trend that carries over from season to season. I love the dressy, flirty and trendiness of these heels. Runs small, size up!

This Tory Burch bag is not part of the sale but they have a very similar one to it this year.

I was hesitant to order this peacoat because it seemed way to cheap in price for a peacoat but after seeing over 500 reviews with nearly a 5 star rating I ordered it and I am glad I did. It’s under $38 and comes in three other perfect for fall shades. A tan peacoat is a classic staple.  I love the length of it and it was surprisingly of good quality. Fits true to size, wearing XS.

Burgundy is one of my favorite fall shades and I have wanted a pair over burgundy over the knee boots for years now and these ones immediately went in my cart when I came across them. The quality is great and they are even more beautiful in person. Fit true to size.

Another white top I picked was this V-Neck from Lush. It’s dressier then a basic tee shirt. It ordered up 2 a few sizes for a loose fit. I am wearing Small Petite. It comes in over 14 other colors/prints.

*Reviews

Another cardigan I picked up was this Shawl collar cocoon cardigan. The sleeves run very long on me but it is very comfortable and cozy. Comes in 2 other shades.

I ordered two flats so far, including these gorgeous calf hair lace-up ones. These flats are seriously GORGEOUS in person and so comfortable on. Amazing quality. I don’t know if its the point or not but I might true a half size smaller. Not sure if they will be to small though.

 

ITEM: Eliza J Black Dress

REVIEW: The perfect LBD to have in your wardrobe. It can be styled in a plethora of ways since its so versatile. Wear without a belt or with a belt to change the look. I wore it with pops of leopard the other day and dressed it up for church with a black bow belt and necklace in this look. I would say it fits true to size. I am wearing a 2, which is slightly to big on me but I think my usual 0 would have fit perfectly. I sometimes order a 2 because of my ribcage and some zipper dresses get a bit to tight around it but I don’t think that would have been the case with this dress.

Another striped top I got was this sleeveless turtleneck. I told you , you can never have to many stripes 🙂 I’ts very soft and comfortable and I like the length on me. Fits true to size, wearing XS.

The last cardigan I picked up from the sale was this open front cardigan with pockets. It’s very cozy on and I love the length on me. It comes in several colors. I also ordered the green! Fit’s true to size the though sleeves are long on me.

*Reviews

Another moto jacket I got from the sale was this emerald green faux leather jacket. I immediately fell in love with the emerald green shade. It fits perfectly on me and is amazing quality. Fits true to, wearing XS.

Another pair of booties I purchased were these Steve Madden block heel ones adorned with tassels on the back. They are beautiful boots and one of the first pair I added to my cart. They also comes in black and fit true to size.

Obsessed with this stripe dress. Its a fitted tank dress that hits perfectly below my knees and has a slit on both sides. It’s so soft and comfortable. I want to order it in every color! Fits true to size,

This is the same moto jacket as the first photo but in burgundy. My absolute favorite pick from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
