Hey, y’all! We’re all familiar with sales happening in the summer, but one sale stands out amongst the rest: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It opens to the public today, July 17th, and runs until August 6th. So, what’s the big deal about the sale? Unlike most other sales that put current or even old inventory on sale, The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is for new fall products. You can shop just launched late summer, fall, and even winter items at a significant discount.

Now that the sale is open to the public you don’t need to have a Nordstrom Card to shop, but there are some nice incentives to having one and being a part of the Nordy Club. Having the card does give you early access to the sale and some other benefits:

1. A $40 bonus note when approved for use on a future purchase

2. At least 2 points per dollar spent when using your Nordstrom credit card

3. Automatically gain access to Nordy Club benefits!

4. No annual fee

Learn more about the Nordstrom Card and Rewards Program here.

One of the best ways to make the most of the sale is to think about your upcoming year and your fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and home decor needs. I love using the sale as a way to grab some major staples at a discount like fall and winter boots, my favorite home decor items that rarely go on sale, and gifts for the holidays. I’ve added some best sellers and pieces I think are a great find for the sale below:

You can access the full sale here and also shop my curated Nordstrom Sale Shop on LTK here. The sale ends August 9th so be sure to grab what you love while you can! I’ve added some of my favorites, like my favorite blankets ever to the pair of UGGs that will be the fall find, to the posts below for easy shopping.

What is Frank & Eileen?

In 2009, a former engineer by the name of Audrey McLoghlin launched Frank & Eileen, a brand with the idea to reinvent button-up clothing for women. The idea came from her Irish grandparents, who were both passionate about Italian fabrics.

Frank & Eileen is now a global fashion brand that is 100% owned by women. The company has been working with sustainable and ethical producers for over a decade, with a mission to support and model female entrepreneurship.

Frank & Eileen Sustainability 

One of the main goals of being sustainable is seeking out the best producers of textiles. This is why McLoghlin decided to work with the late patriarch of the Albini mill, Silvio Albini, who was known for his dedication to the industry. Aside from being a leader in responsible practices, he also ensured that every fabric produced in Italy is Oeko-Tex certified. This means that it meets the strictest environmental standards.

When the company launched its knitwear capsule five years ago, they looked to their own local region for inspiration. Since sunny California produces some of the world's most exquisite knitwear, the company partnered with local artisans in Los Angeles to ensure that all of the products are made with the best materials and that they are supported by B Corp-approved labor practices. Every piece is made with the same care and quality that their partners provide. As the company continues to expand offerings, they remain committed to supporting female entrepreneurship and helping other women succeed.

Positive reviews are quite common when it comes to clothing by Frank & Eileen, especially regarding their shirts like this classic blue tattered wash shirt shown above. Frank & Eileen Website Image Courtesy.

SHOP THE POST

Spring brings a sense of renewal and a desire to refresh many aspects of life; our wardrobe is no different. Among the must-have essentials for the season, spring blouses stand out as versatile pieces that effortlessly elevate any outfit. In this blog post, I’m sharing how to style spring blouses in a sophisticated and chic manner, offering spring fashion tips and styling advice, and outfit inspiration to help you achieve an elegant and timeless look.

1. Choose Classic Silhouettes

   When aiming for a sophisticated and chic style, choose spring blouses with classic silhouettes. Look for tailored cuts, clean lines, and structured fabrics that exude elegance. Add interesting details like a puff sleeve, embroidery, cutouts, or unique necklines to freshen up a basic top.

2. Embrace Neutral Color Palettes

   Neutral colors are timeless for achieving sophistication. Opt for spring blouses in shades of white, ivory, beige, or navy to create a chic and refined look. If you’re wanting to incorporate more color, go for complimentary colors in this palette like yellow, green, magenta, or lavender.

3. Pair with Tailored Bottoms

   To enhance the chicness of your outfit, pair your spring blouse with tailored bottoms. Opt for high-waisted trousers, structured shorts, or the trending long denim skirt to create a sleek and polished silhouette.

4. Add a Blazer or Structured Jacket

   Layering a blazer or structured jacket over your spring blouse instantly elevates the sophistication level of your outfit. Opt for tailored blazers in complementary colors to create a chic and refined ensemble. Some staple colors to keep in your closet: white, black, cognac or tan, and navy. I also love adding some edge to a spring, feminine look with a faux leather jacket.

5. Incorporate Statement Accessories

   Complete your chic spring blouse outfit with statement accessories that add a touch of personality. Opt for a statement bracelet stack, a structured handbag, or eye=catching sunglasses to elevate your overall look. I’ve been really into oversized gold bangles and love these.

6. Play with Textures and Fabrics

   To add depth and visual interest to your chic ensemble, experiment with different textures and fabrics. Consider pairing a silk blouse with a tailored tweed skirt or a lace blouse with sleek leather trousers. Mixing your fabrics and textures will not only make your outfit more interesting, but add depth to your closet and expand the seasonality of your pieces.

7. Opt for Minimalistic Makeup and Hairstyles

   Keep your makeup and hairstyles minimalistic when going for a chic ensemble. Opt for natural-looking makeup with a focus on glowing skin and neutral tones. Keep your hairstyle sleek and polished, such as the Sofia Richie bun or timeless waves. The clean girl aesthetic goes a long way because it can be paired with almost every type of look.

Spring blouses offer endless possibilities for creating sophisticated and chic outfits. You can effortlessly achieve an elegant and timeless look by opting for classic silhouettes, neutral color palettes, tailored bottoms, and adding layers and statement accessories. Remember to play with textures and fabrics, while keeping your makeup and hairstyles minimalistic to complete your chic ensemble. Embrace the spring season with confidence and try out a new spring blouse!

More Spring Tops

Happy Friday, y’all! I’m so excited to share Vivrelle with you today. Vivrelle is a designer handbag and jewelry rental company where members can borrow items every month at different subscription levels. They are stocked with major designers like Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and more! They are constantly adding new styles to their site and renting couldn’t be easier! Check out below what I love about Vivrelle and how you can get in on the fun.

How Does It Work?

Vivrelle is a members-only club providing access to coveted designer handbags, jewelry, watches, and diamonds for a monthly membership fee. Depending on what types of items and your budget, you can pick a membership that fits your needs! Once you apply (I was approved in 2-3 days if I remember correctly) and are approved, you’re ready to start borrowing from the Vivrelle closet! Something to note: once approved, you do have to sign up for 3 months. This ensures that members are utilizing the services best, not jumping on for a one-time rental and then removing their membership.

The difference between the levels is the price of the membership, which correlates with the price of the handbags available to you, or how many bags per month you can borrow. I recommend checking out the closet before applying to make sure you would be able to find some things you love at the level that makes sense for you! I don’t think you’ll have any issue though as their closet is so amazing!

GIVE ME THE MEMBERSHIP DETAILS

So once you’re in the Vivrelle membership what are the gritty details we all need to know? Here we go:

• Once you order you must keep items for a minimum of 30 days, but you are able to keep them for as long as you would like! For example, after 30 days you can swap for another item or you can hang onto your current item longer. You’ll be charged your monthly fee at the 30-day mark and even have the option to purchase the item at a lower cost than retail.

• Items are first come first serve and they go quickly so be sure to make a wishlist!

• When you see items you like you can “heart” them and save them to a wishlist even if they aren’t currently in stock. Once your hearts are back in stock Vivrelle will email you to let you know it’s available again. This is definitely the easiest way to see all your favorite bags in one place too.

• New items are added every day, but be sure to try and order during the week - I’ve noticed over the weekend fewer and fewer items are added and updated.

• The items range from basically new to vintage and sometimes there are signs of wear. If the bag has signs of wear then the Vivrelle team will email you with more pictures and descriptions of the wear and ask if you’d still like to rent or open your space back up again and pick something else. If you do keep the item with wear then they credit your account toward your membership payment.

• You are only able to borrow items from the closet associated with your membership level. This annoyed me at first, but many of the bags I like are well below the $4,000 value and are so cute! I’ve found the main difference in Couture bags is that they are either rare materials, vintage, or limited edition designs.

ARE THE ITEMS AUTHENTIC AND WHERE ARE THEY SOURCED FROM?

Yes! Vivrelle authenticates the items and also has a third party authentic every piece. I’ve always had an amazing experience when dealing with their customer service and I can imagine that if you ever questioned the authenticity of an item their team would be more than happy to help.

All of their products are sourced from around the world and influencer closets.

Let’s Talk about Shipping

Shipping is included in your membership and a return label is in every item box you receive. All you have to do when you’re ready to send it back is replace it back in the dust bag and box, stick the label to the outside and drop it off at UPS.

Once ordered bags usually arrive within 2-3 days, but you can add 2-day shipping or overnight shipping for an extra charge. If you’re based in NYC then you can arrange for a same-day pick-up in their Midtown showroom! Here are the standard shipping details:

• Orders placed Monday through Thursday prior to 2 pm ET will ship within 24 hours

• Orders placed after 2 pm ET on Friday will be shipped out the following Monday

All items have base insurance on them for normal wear and tear. If you’re worried about further damage you can always upgrade your insurance for $15 per month.

What If I don’t want something every month?

I get it - not everyone wants a new bag every 30 days, so if you’re not wanting something that frequent you can freeze your Vivrelle account for $10 per month. You are not able to hold onto your current item and freeze so you’d have to send back the item and then the freeze will start. Once you’re ready to grab something else you can simply unfreeze and start shopping!

Let me know if y’all have any further questions! I’ve been loving my membership and sporting new bags each month. Check out my latest unboxing on Instagram here. She’s a cutie LV bag - have a great weekend everyone!

Hey, y’all! We are one week from Thanksgiving and I’m sharing a ton of outfit inspiration no matter your plans. Whether traveling to multiple meals, dressing down in your cozies, or dressing up in your LBD, there is something for everyone! We’re headed to Kentucky to spend time with family and eat all the food - with champagne of course - and can’t wait to see everyone!

Below you’ll see several graphics outlining some outfit inspiration and links to the exact items. I hope y’all find something you love or it gives you inspiration to pull from something you already have!

Casual Thanksgiving Outfit

When thinking about outfits to share, this first one is one that I think will be most common among us girlies. The classic denim, sweater, and boots combo always works and you can add some fun jewelry to make it your own! I love a knit sweater for the holidays since it’s not only chic but functional. Add an amazing crocodile bootie and you’ll be set for a comfortable, yet beautiful look!

Traveling Thanksgiving

Some of us have multiple Thanksgiving events to attend and maybe even travel that day. With that in mind, I put together a look below that is chic, but comfortable and functional for a day in the car or at the airport. These faux leather joggers are so cute and would easily take you from the airport to dinner with your family. Add a warm jacket, comfortable shoes and a big bag to carry everything you need for a busy day.

Formal Thanksgiving

I remember growing up we always made Thanksgiving with my grandmother an occasion. We would put our best dresses on with the little ruffle socks and bows. It made the holiday feel so special. While things have become more casual for us since then, I know that some families dine out at fancy events, go to the race track or just enjoy dressing up for the holidays. Below is my take on a fancy Thanksgiving dinner look.

Chic Thanksgiving

If I were to pick one of these looks, this next one is it. I love a classic, streamlined silhouette and this look is so chic. A great basic outfit like a bodysuit, your favorite denim and a beautiful ballet flat will make you feel confident, composed and comfortable no matter your plans. Add a fun jacket in a color with these beautiful statement earrings and you’ll be the talk of the party!

Cozy Thanksgiving

Whether you’re watching the parade, football or cooking all day in the kitchen, being comfortable on Thanksgiving is so important and I know some of us are just looking for a put together outfit that has absolutely no fuss. Go for a matching set, cozy shoes and understated accessories for a cozy, but elevated look.

I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, great food, friends, family and love!

Briefly Styled is a series I started on Instagram in 2021 and focuses on styling a specific item or outfit for a specific occasion. For example, what to wear to an SEC football game, or how to style faux leather. What’s really fun about the series is that most of the examples are requests specifically from y’all and requests that a lot of women have in common.

You can check out all of the Briefly Styled videos here and see some of the videos from Instagram below. Be sure to follow me there for all the fun videos and styling content!

Styling the rebound of cargos

This was one of the more popular videos from the series and it was also one of my favorites. I loved the mix of feminine and masculine style. The more masculine blazer and cargo shorts were a great base to add feminine touches like the sparkly shoes and handbag. What do y’all think?

Styling the underrated jumpsuit

One of my favorite pieces to reach for when I don’t know what to wear is the jumpsuit. A jumpsuit is great for so many occasions and can easily be dressed up or down. They are such a fun option for weddings or more cocktail attire events. Check out how I styled it below!

styling an easy work outfit

I’m convinced that this outfit would look good on anyone! You can never go wrong with a classic denim, blazer and great accessories. I personally work in a casual setting so this outfit is great for me, but you could easily swap the denim for slacks or a dress and get the same great look!
