    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019

    I have always wished we had a Nordstrom close by. My closest one is a good 3 and a half hour drive away. So being able to get into the store the day of the sale has never been a possibility for me. I have the kids on the 12th, I checked, and I actually have to go to Loras to pick up Piper from camp that day so I will not make it this year either. I am looking forward to shopping from my couch though and I started my list and I thought I would share.

    The Nordstrom Anniversary sale catalog came out and I thought I would mention my top picks from the catalog linked here. So if you have a nordstrom card you have early access to the sale that starts on July 12th to the 18th. After that is the public sale from the 19th till August 4th. Getting the card is completely worth the early access. I have the card and I don’t use it. I just have it for the sale.

    Hunter boots: 99.90 on sale, 150.00 after the salel

    Kendra Scott Earrings, beautiful gold hoops 37.90, after sale 58.00

    Sperry Duck boots, 79.90, after sale 119.95

    Ugg Scrffette II 54.90, after sale 84.90

    Barefoot dreams cardigan:76.90 after sale 116

    These were my favorites from the catalog. I hope to have a few more BP options available at the sale, it being on of the most reasonable items for sure. I have quiet a few pieces from last year that were such a good deal I hope to see new colors in stock. Last year I also got quiet a few cardigans and sweaters so looking to see what will be coming out in those as well.

    Blogger Copy Cat Collab Post

    I have made so many good friends thru Instagram and so far the experience for me has been nothing short of wonderful. I have always wanted to do something with my creative side and I never really had the chance to fully dive head in before Instagram. Before I had an esty shop where I used to make blankets and homemade soap and bathbombs. Then I had Will and it was too hard to keep up. I have always loved watching fashion influencers photos to see whats in style and I wanted to do that.

    I got divorced and suddenly had all of this free time that I have never had before. Previously I was a full time mom 24/7 and never had a minute away from my kids. Now I had every other weekend and I needed something that helped me find me again. So I took the leap and dove head firsts into Instagram fashion Blogging.

    I loved Rachel from @pinterestingplans from the beginning. I watched her first and loved her style and reliability. She had multiple blog posts about how she became an Instagram influencer and I started taking notes. I loved everything she did and I wanted to be as big as her someday. So it was an easy decision to chose her when doing a Copy Cat Collab Post of Instagram.

    1st post:

    Her style is timeless. She is elegant and chic and makes it look so easy. For this look I grabbed the target tank she wore and added my own chenille cardigan and shorts.

    2nd Post:

    Her look, American eagle tank, I have the black version but it didn’t look right that way so I went with a white Old Navy tank instead. Both of us in the American Eagle blush Chenille cardigan and shorts, me American eagle.

    3rd Post:

    I don’t have the beautiful beachy background, Iowa has no beaches that are natural. But I did grab the Free people bralette and my necklace is only 18 from red dress boutique. My thermal is under 25 and from amazon and we both have on the tomgirl American eagle jeans.

    Springtime and Summer Wedges

    A guest post by Kayci Gatlin @Kgbehindthelens

    Happy Friday my BEAUTIFUL readers! I hope that y’all have had a fantastic week and that y’all have made some great weekend plans! As for me, I have some real estate I have to photograph but after that I will spend the next couple of days with my daughters at the campground my parents are staying at near the beach. It’s always a fun and relaxing time. Even if you plan on staying home and relaxing, that’s okay because I have some great spring and summertime wedges that y’all can shop!

    I put together some really pretty and casual wedges that can go with ANY type of outfit. I love a good wedge. They go with everything and they are so much easier to walk in. Especially with my grandma knees.

    See some of the ways that I styled my favorite wedges for spring!
