The Transitional Dress

We love to plan out our lives in agendas and iPhone calendars, but what about our wardrobes? We want to take advantage of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale while it's still here, and the best way is to plan ahead - get pieces now that will still be wearable as the seasons change. 

Meet the transitional dress. If you have a few in your closet you know how valuable they are! These are the dresses you can wear in the summer and then throw on a denim jacket or a pair of leggings and enjoy in fall, too!

Check out these sale dresses that you'll be wearing for months to come!

A Backyard to Live In

Hanging out on patios may be as outdoorsy as you get, and we totally understand. We've created a guide to make that the most awesome experience ever - your backyard will be the envy of the whole neighborhood. Check out our picks for the perfect patio for outdoor fun!

Gather Round

Let's start with the obvious - everyone needs a place to sit! A great table and set of chairs are a must for outdoor entertaining. 

Hanging Out

Want to get a little creative with your seating? Add a hammock to the mix! Hammocks are super popular these days and give off a relaxed vibe.


Warm Fuzzies

When the weather cools off, that doesn't mean your patio days need to be over. Keep a cute basket full of warm blankets by the door to bust out when it's 'smores season.


Feels Like Home

Bring the inside, outside! Add some charm and to your space with outdoor rugs and pillows.


A Little Extra

String lights, outdoor glasses and speakers create and even more festive space!

Wrap me up....in a discounted sweater


Amy is my name and ponchos and sweaters are my game. 
Seriously, it's almost embarrassing how many I own and how often I wear them. 
During the Nordstrom sale each year I buy ponchos and sweaters with the likeness of chipmunks storing nuts for winter. 



I am obsessed with this and while it's discounted by $125, it's' still pricey. 
Still, I may "need" it.

DEAL ALERT! 
Everyone single one of you needs a long cardigan. It's ideal for those days you need to pull it together but don't want to make much effort. 
You simply can't beat this price AND is comes in 7 colors.

Could this be any cuter? I think not. And, it's only $64 during the sale. 
Plus, it comes in 3 colors...but the blue and ivory are my faves.

Summer Hair Tips

Ah, summer. Nothing like crazy humidity and sweat on the back of your neck to make your hair look nice. But don't fret! We've got some tips for you to give you the best summer hair imaginable.

Big Braids


Braids are a great way to embellish your updos in summer. So how do you get them to look thick like a beauty blogger? Volume powder. Sprinkle volume powder on your braid, pat it in, and then gently pull on the braid to make it wider. The volume powder will keep it in place and your braid will look beautiful! 


Curly Girl


Ponytails are great to keep your hair of your neck in the heat, but what to do when they are falling a little flat? Try this trick - throw your hair in a ponytail first and THEN curl the pony with a curling wand. This will give you the volume and style you would get from curling all of your hair, but will save you loads of time!


Frizz Out


Humidity is the arch nemesis of hair. The best way to fight it? Never let your hair go naked...as in, always use product! Argan oils and smoothing creams go a long way, just be sure to skip applying them to your scalp to avoid looking greasy!
