Nsale Review

Nsale is short for Nordstrom sale in case you were wondering. I know y'all are probably still tired of hearing about it and don't want to anymore, but I wanted to update y'all on my purchases. I ended up returning one item and buying one more. Now that I have had some time to wear and use products I thought I would share my thoughts with y'all. I have already done a review on the white lace romper I got, so I won't go into too much detail on that. I will link that post here if you want to check it out. I think that is still hands down my favorite purchase ever. 

If you didn't read my original Nordstrom Sale post you can read it here, but I bought a LED makeup mirror and that is the item I returned. It was a rose gold Impressions Vanity Co. light up mirror that came with a removable 5x mirror and a compact lighted mirror. I was most excited about the compact mirror because I thought it would be great to keep in my purse. I also loved that it was rose gold. Once I got the set in the mail I was very disappointed with it. The paint chipped easy and it felt very cheaply made overall. It was on sale for $51 normally $78, which is why I got it because of the great deal. I had also heard several people talk about it and say how great it was, but I just don't think it was worth even the sale price. I honestly didn't even need it in the first place because I already have a lighted mirror like this one, it just isn't rose gold, haha. So I definitely do not recommend this product.

The item I added was another pair of shoes. They are a leopard print mule by the brand Halogen. I am sooooo happy with these and I'm glad I got them. I wore them one day that I didn't plan on walking around as much as I did and they did not hurt my feet. That was my first time wearing them too, so that is a good shoe in my eyes. I didn't know if I wanted them because they were still pricey in my opinion for a shoe, but I am happy I got them. This is another item that a lot of people purchased, but once again I don't really care because I love them so much. I will post a picture of them down below and you can click on the picture if you wan to shop. They are no longer on sale though, so even more pricey now. You can click any of the pictures to shop each item.

Now I will talk about the items on my post that I purchased and have used, which is just two more pairs of shoes and a pair of leggings. The leggings I feel are just normal leggings. They are comfortable and don't thin out while working out, so that is always a plus. The shoes I got are both tennis shoes and I have actually only worn one pair because I still need to exchange the other. The pair I have tried is the Nike ones. I love wearing them during my Dance2Fit class, but I don't really like them for running. The back comes up a little high and it gave me a blister. I will say I think I have weird feet and it is hard for me to find good running shoes, so just because they didn't work for me running doesn't mean that won't work for you. The other pair is the Adidas and I need to exchange them for a half size bigger. Just trying them on they seem very comfortable though. I probably could wear the ones I ordered, but I think half a size up would be more comfortable.

Since I am always real with y'all, I did something the other night that I am a little ashamed of that I thought I would share. I saw this super cute cardigan during the sale but I didn't want to buy it for two reasons. Number one, everybody was buying it, and two it was expensive in my book for just a cardigan when I knew there would be a lot more cardigans cheaper that would be just as cute. So I ended up not buying it and the other day someone was trying it on and it looked so cute and I started wishing I would have just bought it during the sale, so what did I do? I bought it the other night NOT ON SALE. Like I said, I'm a little ashamed that I spent even more money on a cardigan, but it is super cute and I'm hoping it's as good quality as everyone says and it better last FOR-EV-ER, haha. That's why you always go with your gut people. Sometimes you just need to treat yourself........but not all the time........like I do, haha. 

I hope you enjoyed my review of the sale items I bought. Hopefully you liked it even though most of you are probably so over the sale or don't even care about the sale. Let me know if you have any questions I didn't answer about my items or just Nordstrom or the sale in general.

Greatest Romper Ever

Y'all, I am OBSESSED with this romper! This is definitely my favorite purchase from the Nordstrom sale. This actually might be my favorite purchase ever! I was a little nervous about buying it because I ordered it online, so I didn't get to try it on. I normally have a hard time finding rompers that fit right because honestly, my booty usually hangs out, haha (#bigbootyproblems.) This one is a little shorter in the back, but since it has the lace overlay, that helps it look longer and it covers a little more.

I usually try to post items that are affordable for y'all, but this was a little bit of a splurge, and definitely worth it in my opinion! It helped getting it during the anniversary sale because I saved $28. I have noticed quite a few people also bought it, but I don't even care, it's that cute! I really wish I would have had this last year, because it would have been perfect for my wedding shower. Oh well, I will still wear it anyways. The only bad thing is it's about to be fall, so I won't have much longer to wear it. Thankfully I am going to the beach next month, so I will definitely be wearing it there. 

In case you can't tell by the pictures, it has a nude lining in the front and the bottom part in the back, and the top of the back is just the lace. I love all the lace! I also just wore a regular bra with it. It was a nude one and you can't even see it. That is another thing I love about it because I hate strapless or special bras. It is no longer on sale and a little pricey, but if you want to check it out you can click on any of the pictures to shop the look. The shoes I have worn in another post, but they are from Target. I think they are a staple shoe because you can wear them with so much and they weren't expensive either. You can also shop them by clicking the pictures. Besides the few pair I got from the Nordstrom sale, I have been getting most of my shoes from Target lately. They are good quality and affordable!

Are y'all loving Targets new brands? Where is yall's favorite place to get shoes?

Nordstrom Sale

I've been trying to decide all week if I was going to do a Nordstrom sale post or not. Obviously I decided I would. Since this is my first Nordstrom Anniversary sale as a blogger, I decided to just do a small post and a more realistic post. For those of you who aren't familiar with the sale, once a year Nordstrom will have a huge anniversary sale and the items that are discounted are brand new fall pieces. Most of the items are just now coming in store and they are at a huge discount. July 20 is the first day it is open to everyone. The sale opened early for those that have a Nordstrom card. Don't tell my husband, but I signed up for one so I could get early access. I probably won't use it I just wanted to get a couple of things before they sold out, haha.

So I honestly have mixed feelings about the sale. It is awesome that all these items are at such a huge discount, but at the same time everybody will be wearing the same things all fall. I saw a lot of super cute chunky cardigans that everybody is buying, but I can probably find them way cheaper at Target or Forever 21 not on sale. If that is what the fall trend is this year, I'm sure you will be able to find them everywhere. The best thing to get at the sale in my opinion would be basics. There are a ton of cute simple tee's on sale for around $11. If you wanted to splurge on a designer item, now would be a good time. There are a lot of high end or more expensive clothing brands on sale too, so if you want something designer I would grab it.

PSA: I didn't get anything fall like you're "supposed" to do. I ended up only getting 5 items and I didn't need any of them. I saw two super cute pairs of tennis shoes on sale, a pair of Adidas and the other pair is Nike. I can always use more tennis shoes for running and for my dance fitness class, and tennis shoes don't go on sale too often. When I first ordered the Adidas I got an email the next day saying they were canceled because they were out of stock! So I ordered a different size, and I just got the email saying they shipped!! I was pretty nervous, especially since the sale opens to everyone in a few hours, but they will be here the 26th is says! Also, I just wanted to let y'all know, if you see something on sale that you absolutely can't live without, get it! Nordstrom is awesome with returns, so even if you know it isn't your size or if you aren't sure if it's your size, grab it and then you can always exchange it when your size comes back in stock. Most of these pieces will not be on sale again, or at least not this big of a discount.

Since I just ordered today and yesterday I will have to post stock pictures to show y'all what I got. I will definitely add pictures of me wearing the items to this post and on my instagram once I get them, which should be the 24th. Hopefully it will all come sooner! You can click the pictures to shop all the items or you can click the name of the items as well.

The next item I got that I am probably the most excited about is a white lace romper from the brand Socialite. I saw this romper on a blogger I follow ( Katey McFarlan Hellman) and I screenshot it so it would go to my liketoknowit app and I would have the info on it. The other day I was showing a friend how to use the liketoknowit app and clicked on the romper to show her and saw it was part of the sale! I was so excited. Then I got even more excited because my favorite youtuber Alexandrea Garza got it for her sale picks! I will add her video here so y'all can check out the rest of her picks and see the romper on. She is my favorite!

The only other clothing item I got was a pair of leggings. They are from the brand Zella and I have heard good things about them. One person that has talked about them a lot is Alex Garza, haha. I love leggings though and you can never have too many. Since I have been wanting to try them out I thought now would be the perfect time because they were a really good price. Lastly, I got yet another thing I did not need, an Impressions Vanity Co rose gold lighted makeup mirror. Out of everything I ordered I probably needed this the least, the main reason because I already have a mirror like this. It isn't this brand but it does the same thing. Honestly, the main reason I got this is because it comes with a lighted compact mirror, and maybe because it is rose gold too. The mirror I already have doesn't get real bright, so maybe this one will. It was almost $30 off.

So there is everything I bought from the sale! I thought about adding some other items that y'all might like, but I didn't want to put a whole bunch of random stuff that I wasn't going to buy myself. I was very close to buying one of those super cute chunky cardigans, but I didn't because EVERYBODY is going to have one. Actually I feel like everybody already has one from early shopping. The romper I ordered will probably be on everybody too, but I don't care about that one. It's too cute to care if everybody has it. 

Are y'all going to shop the Nordstrom sale or do you not even care about it?? Let me know in the comments!
