Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) and a Special Day

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

Happy Friday everyone!  We made it!  Always a good feeling isn’t it!?  Friday is hands down my favorite day of the week.  Everything just slows down and for me, the promise of a great weekend is usually better than the weekend itself.. ha.  Not that weekends aren’t good, but because of the stage we are in with our kids they are busy!  I usually have grand plans of down time that don’t really pan out.  But Friday is my day to dream!  I’m sure a lot of you can relate. :)

I’m excited to be partnering with Nordstrom today to share more of my favorites from the Anniversary Sale!  The sale ends this Sunday night so this is the last weekend to get great deals on cute new things for Fall.  Love this sale.  I’m always sad to see it end!  Some of the things I ordered on-line arrived and I’m excited to share a few more of my favorites with you along with things I’ve shared that have been re-stocked!

{Bell Sleeve Cashmere Sweater/Madewell Necklace/AG Jeans/Kentvi Sandal}

So this sweater was a splurge but is honestly one of my favorites!  I absolutely love bell sleeves and the neckline and color of this sweater is so beautiful.  So cute with a long necklace!  This Madewell necklace was also on sale and sold out but this is another Madewell necklace I have and love that is similar.

{Bell Sleeve Cashmere Sweater/Arrowstack Necklace/AG Jeans/Analise Sandal}

I ordered it in gray also to try and wanted to show you both colors.  I’m going to keep the purple because I already have a lot of gray but love them both!  The gray I ordered in petite but I like the regular xs above in the purple better so I’d say order your regular size!  Looks cute a little long in the sleeves.

{Rails Plaid Shirt/AG jeans/Caslon Wedge Sneakers}

You all know I can’t resist a good black and white plaid flannel top!  And this one is darling.  So cute with these casual wedge sneakers.

But I also love it with this cute faux leather tote and my brown Kentvi Sandals!  Isn’t this purse cute!?  And such a great price.  Comes with a strap you can add but I like it better without.  The gold handles are my favorite!  My top comes in other colors and patterns too.  I really love all things Rails, but it’s a pricey brand so I usually only buy Rails during this sale when things are marked down.  Their plaid shirts just hang so perfectly!  And they are warm but not heavy flannel – perfect for easing into Fall when it’s cool but not cold.

{Oversize Open Cardigan/Jeans/Arrowstack Necklace/Purse/Sandals}

I bought two new cardigans during the sale (live in them when it’s cool!) and this oversize cardigan was one of my favorites.  I love the big sleeves and how slouchy and cozy it fits.  Excited to have a cardigan in navy too!  I love navy.

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

The other cardigan I loved from the sale this year is the Leith Ribbed Shawl Cocoon Sweater.  Beautiful cardigan that comes in so many colors.  Loving the teal!  Just a few sizes left in this one so grab one quick if it’s something you want and they have your size!   Matching my bathroom here.. not intentional but we’ll roll with it. :)  You can see how I organize my jewelry in this post.

Speaking of jewelry, these Oblong Drop earrings are my very favorite from the sale this year (this pair is similar) and I’ve been wearing them almost every day since they came in!  So cute and they seem to work with everything.  I snapped this pic last weekend on our way to watch El perform in Dancerpalooza (a fun dance intensive we usually travel to but this year it was in San Diego) .. so much fun seeing her on stage!

{Balloon Sleeve Sweater/AG jeans/Madewell Bag/Similar bag on sale/Vince Camuto Kentvi Sandal}

I mentioned this balloon sleeve sweater is one of my favorites from the sale this year.  So comfy and such a great price!

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

I had to order it in green too!  Just couldn’t resist.  LOVE this sweater.  LOVE this color!  Wearing it with my Kate Spade Aviators I also love from the sale this year!  A friend snapped this pic for me and we were laughing so hard..

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

I was dying!  So hot wearing this sweater outside in the summer!  Half of my pics came back like this of me fanning myself.. ha.  I was trying to mix up the bedroom mirror selfies for you all but quickly realized that sometimes I do things a certain way for a reason.

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

Air conditioning!  Back in my cool house and ready to try on winter wear. ;)  Ok.. you all know how I feel about camo.. this Caslon Utility Jacket is so cute!  Especially love the little pop of pink above the pocket.  It runs large so I’d order one size smaller than your regular size.

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

I got it in the green to try too and now can’t decide which one to keep!

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

I ordered this Fit and Flare dress early on and knew I would love it!  I was so excited to try it on and it fit perfectly true to size.  It looks a little short on the model but on me it hits just above the knee (I’m 5’3.. and a half). ;)  I love it with my over the knee black boots for Fall!  I bought my boots during this sale last year and about wore them out.  I love not having to worry about my legs!  Haven’t shaved?  Out of tanner?  No problem. :)  This pair of Vince Camuto over the knee boots are similar and on sale!  

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

Here is a side view of this dress so you can see how sliming it is and how beautiful the ruffle sleeves are.  Plus I’m crazy about this stunning teal color!  But it also comes in navy and burgundy.

And it ties in the back!  Would be so cute with hair in an up-do to show off the bow.  LOVE this dress.

{Make and Model Too Cool Pullover/Make and Model Good Vibes Jogger Pants}

Ok.. enough dressy talk.. let’s get to the really good stuff.  The pjs! :)  I shared this cute Make and Model pair I bought early on in the sale.  If you know me you already know of my never-ending love for Make and Model pjs.  If we had to evacuate our home I’d grab my kids, my albums and then my Make and Model pajamas.  Because I’d need something comfy to wear during the disaster of course. ;)  Really though.. they make me so happy.  I put them on at the end of the day and just ahhh.. instant comfort.  Plus they are cute and flattering too!  Comfort first, but that’s a major bonus.

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

They’re cute enough to wear for every day wear too!  Isn’t this pullover darling with jeans!?  Wear pjs all day?  Well if you insist… ok.. don’t mind if I do. :)

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

{Good Vibes Jogger Pants/Brushed Hacci Hoodie}

So I bought the new pair above during the sale.  And not too long ago I bought this blue pair.  (Those I wear during the day running errands all the time too!)

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

{Sleepy Fleece Hoodie/Sleepy High Rise Lounge Jogger Pants}

And now Nordstrom has this pair in stock and on sale!  Ahhhh!  Don’t do this to me!  I seriously can’t resist a cute pair of Make and Model pjs.  I’m just not strong enough.  Admitting my problem is the first step to recovery.  The only reason these aren’t on their way to my house right now is because I can’t decide which color combo to get.. aren’t they all perfection!?  Help!  What’s your favorite?  Tell me in the comments or I’ll be forced to order one of each.

And then I’ll be promptly signing divorce papers when my husband finds out.

Kidding.. but not kidding.. ha.  He just doesn’t understand!  If they made Make and Model pjs for men he would get it!

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

I broke out of my Make and Model comfort zone and bought these matte satin pj’s during the sale too and have loved having cool silky pjs when it’s hot – which is most days right now.  Thinking of getting a few pairs for Christmas gifts this weekend.  I have a feeling my mom would love these too.  Am I right mom? :)  Also my favorite bliss throws are going fast!  Just a handful colors left if you want one for only $25!

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

{Cashmere Sweater/AG Jeans/Purse/Open Toe Mules}

Ok.. quickly linking past favorites that sold out and have been re-stocked!

This darling dress was re-stocked but is almost sold out again!

{Leith Rib Wrap Sweater /Pleat Detail Midi Skirt/open toe mules}

My oldest daughter and one of her friends have already borrowed this hoodie from me so I know it must be cool. ;)

{Treasure and Bond cinched sweatshirt/Zella Crop Leggings/Flashback Sneakers}

These flashback sneakers have sold out twice and are going fast the third time around!  Long time favorites.

{Tie Knot Sweatshirt}

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

These wedge sneakers and my favorite Make and Model Gotta Have it Tees are two things I would highly recommend if you don’t already have them!  Both so comfy.  The tees are long time favorites.

I also wanted to let you all know that there are similar Paige skinny jeans on sale in this olive color!  I have loved my green Paige jeans.

{Michael Kors Suit/Smartcare Dress Shirt/Austin Derby Shoes}

Yesterday I shared some cute clothes Addison and her friend got for back to school from the Nordstrom sale, but I didn’t share anything for my little guy!  This Michael Kors suit was his splurge from the Nordstrom sale this year.  A major splurge for a special occasion.  Two weeks ago Kole was baptized.  (In the church we attend kids can get baptized when they turn 8 years old).  It was such a special day for our family!  And a bit emotional for me seeing my husband baptize our youngest.  Plus I just kept looking at Kole in his first suit looking so grown up and handsome and couldn’t get over it!

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

{Lewit Puff Sleeve Dress/Halo Strap Sandals/Purse/Earrings}

I had this new dress that was perfect for such a special occasion so Kole and I were feeling fancy. ;)

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

The ceremony was so beautiful.  My girls sang and I shared some sweet and funny things about Kole.  So easy to do!  He brings so much happiness to our lives and to everyone around him and makes us all laugh every single day.  I can’t imagine life without my sweet boy.  He is growing up way too quickly!  And because of that I had his pants tailored in a way that we can keep letting them out so hopefully this suit will last a while. ;)  This is one outfit I’ll save forever.  Wish I could freeze him in time and keep him this age forever.

He got baptized with two of his good buddies and we had a luncheon with lots of friends and family after to celebrate these darling boys and the good choices they are making in their lives.

Fashion Friday (Anniversary Sale!) Sunny Side Up

Of course they responded with unmatched poise and sophistication.

As they always do.

:)

*Huge thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post, for the incredible customer service and for such an amazing sale this year!

  1. I say the gray with peach sleeves! My fave of the three. Congratulations on the baptism. Your Kole is such a handsome young man and looks very charming and a bit mischievous. That dab is lit! Thanks for sharing all the fun fashions and keeping it real with the outtake photos. I was wondering how in the world you wore long sleeves in summer in Southern CA! Haha! Hope you have a weekend where there is a pocket of down time for you! I know how it goes though! :)

    1. Thank you so much Jeanne! Definitely not really wearing all of the long sleeved sweaters yet! They will be perfect when things cool off but oh my word.. it has been so hot and humid lately! Enjoy your weekend too! I thought of you when I posted that dab pic.. ha! ;) xo

  2. Some comments and a question:
    1- GIRL! You’re a CHAMP for modeling the sweaters with how hot it’s been in San Diego and you look cool doing it!
    2- Is there anything better than a kid dabbing? It gets me every time! (Congrats on this special event in your family’s life)
    3- I’ve been wondering so I’m just going to ask, and forgive me if you’ve already answered this in a past post and I’ve missed it, but why did you decide to do two islands in your kitchen? It’s beautiful, but I’m just wondering because I haven’t seen it before.

    Thanks Erin! -Katy

    1. Katy you are too cute! Thank you! Such a sweet comment! As far as the islands go.. I need to write a post on that because I get asked that question a lot! I was actually originally going to put in one large island but it was going to be so big and I thought it would be a pain to walk around so we ended up doing two instead – one for food prep with a sink and one for the kids to eat and do homework on, etc. I’ve loved it! When I’m fixing a meal it’s nice to have the food on one island so the kids can be using the other island for whatever they need. It’s also great for entertaining! I can use one to spread out food on and people have lots of room to sit at the other island. :) xo

  3. What color throw is the one you have pictured? It looks maybe like a navy? Or is it the color called “teal grazer”?
    Thanks for taking th time to answer me!

  4. Hi Erin!! Oh I just LOVE your blogs when you feature Nordstrom sale items! We don’t have a Nordstrom here, but I can easily order from them! My favorite of the three you surveyed is the grey/coral combo. I just love that!

    Congratulations on Kole’s baptism!! He will remember it forever – and it is so special that his Daddy was the one who baptized him! I was 9 years old when I was baptized and remember every detail from the smell of the warm water to the calmness that came over me!

    Your family is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful photos and moments!! Love and hugs!!
    Jane

  5. Hi Erin! It’s me again – I think I have to change my vote on the Make +. Model outfits. Instead of buying the gray/coral combo, I think you need to order all three outfits!! They are all TOO CUTE!! You know you will get a lot of wear out of them, so just go ahead and get them! I bet Kenny thinks you look so cute in them, too!
    Love,
    Jane

  6. Oh Kole looked so handsome!
    I’m in love with those satin pjs!!!
    Everything you showed looked Soo good!
