The Sales

'Tis the weekend for pools, beaches, boats, football, and shopping---tons and tons of S A L E shopping.  Before getting our butts in gear for the pool, I had to scour through the insane sales going on this weekend to bookmark some of my craves for us.  It's gonna be a doozy to narrow our selections down, gang, but never has there been a better time to snag some end of summer deals and stock up on some fabulous fall finds.  Nordstrom (see COGNAC, LEO, & PARKA), J.Crew (see LOVE, TIE DYE, & ANCHORS), and C Wonder ( see KITTY, DOTS, & CAMEL) are serving up some of my current craves.  Best of luck on your hunt--let's all try to pace ourselves shall we now?  I can already tell the SNEAKS are going to be my demise, damnit.  Y'all make it a great one and enjoy the long weekend!  Happy Hunting!

Nordstrom Rack

Disclosure:  I was personally invited by Nordstrom Rack in Louisville to take a gander in their new store.  Nordstrom Rack gifted me a $200 gift card to shop the latest trends and fall finds.  All opinions expressed are my own and are in no way influenced by Nordstrom Rack.  

More exciting than the grand opening of Nordstrom Rack in Louisville, KY, was the fact that I got to shop there ALONE--sans KIDS--dream. come. true.  This translated to about an hour and a half mosey throughout the entire store scouring all of the fabulous fall finds at an insanely good price point.  Go figure, first stop was the men's section---I spotted a row of fab fedoras from afar and fell in love with this Ben Sherman topper.  I also decided to snag a pair of men's Lacoste aviator shades--super cute tortoise with a neon stripe!  Not pictured (coming next week) is a perfectly fitted Kelly Green DVF skirt I snaked (their DVF selection was FANTASTIC--comprised about half of my cart).  The shoe section def proved to be where the majority of my time was spent---chucks, metallic oxfords, and quirky smokers were just some of my fave picks.  I have to say; however, my golden ticket item was the classic boys' navy blue blazer pictured above with the gold buttons---obsessed--and you'd die if I told ya how much I scored it for! I rounded out my excursion with the accessories section--hello Kate Spade for days--and a side of beauty products.  The one area I failed to hit up which I'll do in the next few weeks is their home section----looking for some good cocktail glasses and I've spotted some gold gilded ones online.  So Kentuckians---do yourself a favor and check it out--I was thoroughly impressed indeed!  Stay tuned next week to see how I styled my Nordstrom Rack treats--make it a good one!  PS:  did you see this morning's MASHUP POST--a trio of outfits--check it!
