White dresses are a part of the quintessential summer wardrobe. Something about the crisp, fresh look screams spring and summer for me. I love them almost as much as I love a good white tee.

So we all know and LOVE NORDSTROM! Yet, many either do not know about or tend to forget about it’s LESS EXPENSIVE sister store NORDSTROM RACK! I am a deal shopper and have LOVED this store for several years now. So much so, when I would go to my parent’s Lake House, I would make my dad drive me to Atlanta to shop at the Nordstrom Rack. They carry all of the SAME designer brands Nordstrom carries in their store at a major discounted price. These items are either overstocked, didn’t sell, or altered. Nordstrom first opened Nordstrom Rack in the basement at one of their Seattle stores as a full-on clearance center and now they have brick and mortar stores across the US.

Kris is going skiing and I have a ton of friends going in the next couple of months. I was helping a friend get all her winter gear together and it reminded me of last January when we were able to go to Lake Tahoe. It was the best time, but I had the hardest time finding winter gear that I loved. This Florida girl wanted to be prepared for the cold weather. So I went on the hunt and found all the ski gear and winter essentials you would need for your ski vacation. I linked everything from socks and base layers to some of the top rated jackets and pants for women and kids!
