My Tried and Trues from Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale

written by

I seriously contemplated whether or not to cover the sale this year. I typically spend a lot of time going over every item, debating whether or not it is an amazing deal that I cannot pass on, only to find out that it is out of stock. Or if I finally bit the bullet and hit purchase now, I would receive and email the next day only to be informed my item is out of stock. It would frustrate me to no end.

Another reason I didn’t want to cover it, I do not typically buy a lot from this sale. Kris has always had me on a very strict budget from month to month. I have learned over the years how to make my budget work for me and save up on the more expensive items I feel I cannot live without. It has also made me a very savy shopper and I have learned how to squeeze every penny and purchase more “bang for my buck.” I am a deal hunter and will scour the internet to find the best deal over a period of time. But I have saved up my budget in the past to be able to shop this sale and get some staple items for Fall that I feel I cannot live without.

So all of that to say… here are my tried and trues that I would either purchase or already have purchased in the past and I think they are totally worth every penny. I have also listed some items that I believe are just too good of a deal to pass up. Fingers crossed they will be in stock or if they are out of stock, prayingNordstrom will re-stock!

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale 2019

My Daily Uniform

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale 2019

These items are my daily uniform. I will buy one or two cozy pullovers and live in them.

  • If you buy one thing, let it be the SPANX LEGGINGS. I will wear them 3x a week. Seriously, the best.
  • I have and love the ALO SOHO PULLOVER. It is so soft and comes in 3 colors.
  • I bought these ALO LEGGINGS, hoping to give my SPANX a break,
  • I am always in need of a good BLACK SPORTS BRA, trying this one.
  • Would LOVE this ALO JACKET. Been eyeing it since last year. Comes in 2 colors.

Beauty

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale - Beauty
  • This DRYBAR SET is a deal. I have and love the clips and products included.
  • I buy the DONNA KAREN CASHMERE MIST every year, and it will last me til next years sale.
  • Have and LOVE the T3 MICRO BLOWDRYER and T3 CURLING WAND.
  • I am excited to try this MAC SET of Neutral lip colors.
  • This BOBBI BROWN set is great. I love traveling with these types of sets.
  • If you have been wanting to test out JO MALONE scents, this set is perfect for that and traveling.
  • NUBODY TONING DEVICE is a deal.
  • As a family, we LOVE SUPERGOOP SUNSCREEN.

Everyday Denim

I didn’t spend a lot of time sorting through the DENIM on sale. Also, I did see a lot of high-end brands for amazing deals, but listed my top 3, which 2 pair are under $50.

  • I have these RIBCAGE LEVI’S in a different wash. They’re my favorite and ended up buying these. They are a great deal at $64.
  • I think these TOPSHOP HIGHRISE denim have a cute cuff and black denim is always a good choice. Under $50.
  • I just think these TOPSHOP DAD JEANS are too cute not to list.

Fall Staples

These are the items that will be staples in your Fall wardrobe. You can mix and match and find yourself wearing over and over again.

  • I have had a CAMO JACKET, for a couple years. It is versatile and I wear it over and over.
  • I bought this OVERSIZED SWEATSHIRT. It will be great with denim or leggings. I will also use it to throw over my workout outfit.
  • Again, SPANX LEGGINGS.
  • I cannot tell you how many times I wore this THREAD AND SUPPLY PULLOVER last year. Worth every penny. I tried to buy other brands and they didn’t compare.
  • If I had to pick one BOOTIE, it would be this one. I think it is classic and you can wear with denim or skirts. AND I you would wear them for a few years and they won’t go out of style.
  • This TOPSHOP CARDI comes in several colors.
  • I love this LEOPARD SKIRT. Perfect now with graphic tees and into fall with a leather coat.

Anna Beck Jewelry

I was so excited to see so many pieces from Anna Beck included in the sale.

I’m just so thankful for how everything has come together. 🙏✨

Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I wrote most of this when she turned 10. I have changed a few things. And we are still so proud of whose she’s becoming with each passing day. 
.
I don’t think I will ever be able to do her justice by my words on this platform. I always say I didn’t realize how much I needed her till I had her and that statement becomes more true every day. 
.
She is funny. Not the telling jokes funny and trying really hard to be funny. The kind where you really have to listen to her and you don’t remember what she even said a day later, but you remember her making you belly laugh and crying funny. 
.
She is kind. At school they had to go around and say what they admire in their classmates and one of them said Audrey is kind, even when someone isn’t kind to her. OH MY HEART! I cried. I still cry thinking about this. As a parent, you try to teach your kiddos this, you know “when you can be anything in the world, be kind.” But honestly that is HARD. Our flesh wants to do the opposite and its always easier to say these cliche statements and way harder to act them out. And to hear that Audrey practices this makes my heart explode! I am still hearing stories of her putting this into practice. 
.
She is thoughtful. At Christmas, she made a list and bought for each family member with her own money. Without giving it a second thought. And she made sure the gifts were exactly what they wanted. she still does this year after year. 
.
The best sister. We tell Brydon everyday he is so lucky. From sitting at lacrosse tournaments and never complaining to looking at me and advocating for him to switch school because she knew what Brydon needed even if it meant she was giving up her favorite time of the day, B driving her to school. 
.
And today, this amazing human turns 14. Still trying to figure out how to slow time down. But for now, Kris and I are cherishing every minute God has given us with her.
“God is love” Merry Christmas from our family to y “God is love” Merry Christmas from our family to yours!♥️🎄♥️ 1 John 4: 13-18

From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 aboard Celebrity Silhouette did not disappoint. Relaxing poolside to relaxing seaside at Baha Mar, with amazing food (lots and lots of ice cream) and more entertainment than we knew what to do with, we had the best getaway on our short Caribbean cruise. We came back relaxed and recharged. @celebritycruises #CelebrityPartner #ad
