Nordstrom Sale Favorites

It’s Nordstrom sale time! Every year this sale lands over my birthday…which is great timing! I’m not buying a ton of stuff this year. And the majority of the items I am getting are all repeats from the previous year. So these are mostly all tried and true favorites! Please don’t feel like you have fomo and have to buy a ton of items. Just buy what you love! Some of these items are my most favorite things….and I’m pretty sure you’ll love them too.

From left to right, top to bottom:

  1. Spanx Bra. I missed out on this one in my size last year. If it’s anything like my other Spanx bra, it’s amazing. I’ll report back.
  2. Spanx Bra. I bought this bra last year and I find myself reaching for it all the time. It’s so comfy while still providing structure! I’m snagging a few more this year.
  3. Barefoot Dreams Cardigan. I looooove this brand. At first I passed on this style until I saw it on two other bloggers. The green color looks darker in person than in the photos. And it’s love! It also comes in two other colors. Last year I got the circle cardigan (also on sale!) and it’s the softest cardigan you will ever own. Totally worth the investment. It still looks like new. But hurry, these will sell out! Size down if in between.
  4. Natori Briefs. Best. Undies. Ever. This will be my third year of buying these. They are sooooo good. True to size.
  5. Free People Top. Omg. I have a similar one from last year and it’s LOVE. This one is so darling and would be cute with jeans or leggings this fall. And it comes in several colors. I think I’m snagging the black and the green.
  6. Rounded V-Neck Tee. I’ve tried this tee in the past and loved it. Can’t wait to snag a few more. True to size and it comes in a ton of colors.
  7. Leopard Mules. Aren’t these cute? I hope they are as comfy as they look.
  8. Booties. I’m loving this side cut out! Totally snagging a pair.
  9. Utility Jacket. I need to invest in a new jacket and this one looks stylish and cute.
  10. Ugg Sneakers. Aren’t these cute? And they are by Ugg, so I bet they are comfy too.
  11. Wedge booties. These are the exact same booties I snagged last year in the sale. Get them! They are so comfortable!
  12. Joggers. I’ve heard so many people talk about these cozy joggers. It’s about time I tried them since I LIVE for comfy pants!

From left to right, top to bottom:

  1. The Best Blanket Ever. For only $25, this is a steal! I bought two for myself last year and gave two away as gifts. They are so cozy and soft! My kids fight over them…so I’m grabbing a few more. Comes in a ton of colors.
  2. Diffuser. How cute is this? I’ve been on the hunt for a new one and love this look!
  3. Pillow. In love. Simple as that. Comes in three colors.
  4. Pink Toss Pillow. I have this exact pillow on my bed and it is SO cute in person. It comes in grey and navy too.
  5. SPF Setting Powder. This has been on my wishlist for a while. Powder with sunscreen? Yes please. I was so excited to see the three pack included in the sale. Such a great deal.
  6. St. Tropez Tanning Mousse. So I haven’t tried this yet, but word on the street is it’s the best. This is on major sale! I have their face tanning spray and I love it so much!
  7. Makeup Setting Spray. This is my go-to setting spray. Like hairspray for your face (without the sticky feeling). I looooveeee this stuff. This includes a jumbo size bottle and is a crazy good deal! I’m grabbing it for sure!
  8. Kendra Scott Necklace. I’ve been wanting this necklace for two years now. It comes in rose gold, gold, and silver and is a great price!
  9. Sunglasses. These are my go-to glasses and I’m so excited to see them in the sale! I like big sunglasses, and these are the perfect size.
  10. Knot Bangle. How cute is this!
  11. Kendra Scott Bangle. Again, so cute and lots of color options.
  12. Tote Bag. I usually skip bags in the sale (hello diaper bag life) but this one is calling my name.

From left to right, top to bottom:

  1. Kitty Ears Hoodie. I mean. Sadie will die over this! Plus it comes in a leopard print too!
  2. Hunter Boots. You know my girls live in these year round. This pair is three shades of pink AND sparkly!
  3. Unicorn Pjs. The cutest ever.
  4. Peplum Hoodie. Sadie prefers to wear dresses but in the winter she needs something warmer. These peplum tops give her the feeling of a dress and look so cute on! Comes in grey striped too.
  5. Rainbow Jean Jacket. I MEAN! And the price is so good too.
  6. Rainbow Sweater. Sooooo cute! Give me all the rainbows!
  7. Pink North Face Jacket. This one is reversible and so cute….it would be great for a fall to winter transition piece.
  8. Dino Pjs. It’s so hard to find big boy pajama sets and these are darling!
  9. Blue North Face Jacket. Hudson would love this!
  10. Under Armor Pants. Yes, two different styles. Grey Fleece Joggers and Black Pennant Pants. Hudson prefers the jogger style, so I’m snagging both of these for him.
  11. Under Armor Shorts. I grabbed these last year and the fit was spot on.

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
