Happy Friday ladies! I'm back with another round of Forever 21 picks--I was at the store last night and the Fall stuff is starting to arrive, but I also found some super cute pieces to wear now and later.
I'm still loving boho looks, chokers, high-waist denim and athletic wear. I'm super stoked they brought back that open back workout top--which I already own in grey--because it's so flattering, and I find they are hard to find, so I had to scoop it up in the burgundy colour.
The top above is actually from the curvy line. Did you know they make totally different items for that section? Although I'm usually a medium in most stores, I'm lucky if a large fits at Forever 21--their stuff runs so small! So, I always take a quick loop around the curvy side to see if anything strikes my fancy, plus I love flowy pieces. I love this pretty top with the high-waisted denim as it's on the cropped side; would make a great date night look.
More fun pieces after the jump...

Today is the last day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I'm still waiting on a couple pieces to arrive, but it seriously has me so excited for Fall! Don't get my wrong, I love Summer, but there is something about the cool, crisp weather, layers, and neutrals of the season that has me excited for all the outfits I'm going to wear!
Of course I had to round up some final pieces for you ladies that I'm loving, because as of tomorrow, everything goes back up to full price. Now is a great time to grab new Fall merchandise at a fraction of the regular price for your wardrobe. Happy shopping!
I'm back for round two of try-ons from the Nordstrom sale (see round one here + what I purchased). I went back a few days after the sale opened, to find an uber picked over store that was far less crowded.
However, there are fortunately still many great pieces left online, but the sale only goes until this Sunday! So stock up now if any of these Fall items catch your eye because they go up to full price on August 8th.
This cardigan was nice, but it runs very big. I'm wearing a size small in the photo and felt I still needed to size down (I'm normally a medium). I really love this one instead, but I would lose the belt.
Are you ladies sick of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet? I'm still perusing the sale pages on the daily because while I've heard they aren't re-stocking, I keep seeing various items being restocked! What I like to do, is add items to my Wish List and check that first--it will tell you if it's back in stock and then you're not searching endlessly for it.
With that, I already shared a haul video of my purchases, but I wanted to share with you what I bought, wearing the items, with some options on how to style the pieces now, for Summer, and later when the temperatures get a bit cooler. I'll be honest, I love me some Summer, but I'm seriously excited for Fall! Call me crazy, but layers, moto jackets, boots and more got me like #inserthearteyedemojihere
Photo overload after the jump...
As I mentioned on the weekend, I went back to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to scope out the shoe section. If you've never been before, the shoes and the clothing are on different floors, and by the time I was done in the fitting room, I was not about to venture down there and battle the crowds.
That said, I couldn't stay away for long, so I'm sharing my top picks for the shoes in the sale, how they fit, colour preferences and more.
Hi ladies! As much as I'm trying to incorporate more quality pieces into my wardrobe, I cannot deny my love for a good Forever 21 find. Right now they have so many on trend pieces, and I'm loving the boho feels, which have me super excited for Fall to transition some of these pieces with cool weather accessories--over the knee boots & leather jackets anyone?
With that, I'm sharing a few of my faves today including this strappy sports bra I just scooped up (like a sexy bralette with support!), I'm obsessed with this dress & if I was shorter, I would totally scoop this up.
I hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on opening day and was there first thing in the morning. I had an appointment with a Stylist who took my Wish List in advance, had everything in a fitting room for me and more--literally the best shopping experience I've ever had.
Overall, super successful day of shopping, I showed you everything I tried on, and today I'm sharing everything that came home with me.
I'm linking everything after the jump so if anything jumps out at you, head over and scoop them up before they are gone. Everything is from the brand new, Fall 2016 Collection and prices go back up on August 7th.
I hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this morning and it was quite possibly the best shopping experience of my life. I made an appointment with the Style Sales Manager and she was a dream to work with. I got there bright and early, she pulled all the items I had on my wish list, plus more, and set me up in a fitting room.
I did a couple laps around the store, collecting a few more pieces, and then it was time to try it all on. I would love to share with you a bit of a photo overload from the fitting room, but also how these pieces fit so you can shop them yourself!
I will share a full post about everything I purchased and if you're here early want to add me to Snapchat, you can see me trying all of these things on (I'm acoest1984). Onto the fitting room recap!
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here and early access started on Friday. If you girls live in the US, you can sign up for the debit or credit card and shop the sale immediately. If you're in Canada, like myself, or other parts of the world, the sale opens to the public this Friday, July 22.
Essentially, this sale is the biggest of the year where Nordstrom marks down all their new Fall gear for three weeks. After that, they go back up to regular price until the snow flies, ie. the time to shop is now! While I know you have sunshine, swimming and patio-season on your mind, the cool weather will be here before we know it and you'll be glad you scored some awesome stuff at such great prices.
That said, I'm sharing my favourite picks from the sale and will be sharing even more as the sale goes on. I've actually asked my Sales Manager at my local Nordstrom to set a few things aside for my appointment on Friday so I don't miss out, like this suede moto jacket (which has already sold out twice online and been restocked), this bralette, and this drape front vest (love this splurge option).
Happy shopping!
The Shopbop Designer Sale is on right now so I had to share my picks--this sale doesn't come around very often and a it's a great time to pick up anything designer you have your eye on. All designer pieces that are currently on sale are an additional 25% off with code DESIGNER25.
I'm sharing some pieces I'm loving (including that jacket above I wore in a tv segment last month--it's on sale in a pretty mustard colour) and scooping up below, but hurry, the sale ends tonight at midnight.
Happy weekend ladies! You know I love my activewear and truly believe that if you look good, you feel good--and when you're staring at yourself in a mirror for 30+ minutes, it's important to feel good. New workout clothes push me to get the gym when I'm lacking a little motivation and while I do love Lululemon, it's definitely on the pricier side.
I have several items from the F21 activewear line and love it. If you're looking to up your style game at the gym, here are a few pieces I'm currently loving...
I have those sheer-panel leggings and love them. I'll be honest, they aren't as amazing as my favourite Lulus, but they are comfy and a fraction of the price! I have that orange/strappy grey sports bra and it's so comfy.
I love high-neck tanks and anything that's looser--I like to knot my tanks in the back currently (paired with high-waisted leggings) and when they are looser it works better. Additionally, if you're not feeling yourself so much on that day, just let it hang loose or do a side tuck into your leggings.
Long sleeved tops are great for when you want to cover up more, and look cute paired with shorts during the warmer weather months. The super strappy sports bras are a personal fave--I have them in white, black & grey--because they look awesome, offer medium support, the quality is good and are at a great price point.
You ladies always ask me where I get my open-back tops and they are definitely my fave. This one is perfect and I wish it was in more colours because I would totally scoop it if I didn't already have a similar black one.
Lastly I'm loving crop tops and high-neck halter sports-bras; if you're daring enough to bare a little mid-section, these look so good and on point.
Happy shopping!

It's that time again, the Shopbop Spring Sale is on and depending on how much you spend, you can save up to 25% off (use code: BIGEVENT16). This is such a great time to grab those designer (whether lower or higher end) pieces you might have had your eye on, or even items that run a little pricier than you'd normally buy.
I'm still loving neutrals for Spring but love the pretty pop of pink on that saddle bag. I also recently paired a baby blue sweater I have with some light grey skinnies and loved the look, so I can see a lot of that combination in my future--and that pretty off-the-shoulder top is perfect for Summer with denim.
Last year was the first year I bought a couple of one-piece swimsuits and this year I plan to rock something a little more risqué because, #whynot
Lastly, the faux fur poms are so cute and I've been seeing them everywhere lately! Definitely an accessory I want to add to my bag to instantly update it. Happy shopping!
SIMILAR PIECES UNDER $100
You're probably fully aware of the rose quartz trend for this Spring, being it's one of Pantone's colours for 2016. I've practically been living in this sweater since getting it for Christmas, but since it's still out of stock, I thought I'd share some cozy pieces to get you through the last month or so of winter.
When it turns warmer, pair up with a pair of denim shorts on cool evenings out with friends. 17 sweaters after the jump...
Hi ladies--hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day. We have kept ours pretty low key and I'm excited that almost all the laundry is done #woohoo
Nordstrom is having their Winter Clearance Sale until February 21 & I'm stoked because my girlfriend and I have a date this week check it out. If you don't feel like venturing out, or don't have a location near you, I've got you covered...
I have worn my neutral peep-toe booties a ton and I'm loving the ones in the first row. I love thin and waffle knits, and the green parka is more than half off (and the fur is removable!).
I'm a sucker for distressed denim and love that the One Teaspoon skirt is now on sale, a denim jacket is great for Spring/Summer and it's a great time to stock up on a bootie to round out the winter or in preparation for next Fall--that pointed toe will be huge (if you didn't already jump on board the trend this year).
Activewear is my favourite thing to purchase lately--comfort and style? A win-win. You ladies know I'm loving high-waisted leggings and cropped tanks but I've also been wearing my seamless long-sleeved tops when it's cooler outside and I really want to get a sweat on.
Happy shopping!
You ladies know I'm a sucker for a good high-top and mostly wear those for the gym. I used to really love trainers, but since I'm not running on a treadmill, flat footed shoes are great for lifting weights. So with that, today I'm sharing a few favourites that are currently available online that I'm oogling.
I always love a fresh white shoe, but the grey denim Supra Skytops in the first row are really doing it for me. I already own that style and they are a great way to ease into a high-top shoe.
The woven black ones are super cute, I like the colour of the Pumas, and while the Air Max isn't something I would normally gravitate towards, I'm feeling the speckled print on them.
I already own the Supra Society kicks in grey and they are totally badass (but definitely a little futuristic--Marco always jokes I'm wearing my Marty McFly shoes). I'm really feeling the perforated shoes, it adds a little something extra and the last black pair of Creative Recreations would be on my wish list if I didn't already have a similar pair.
Hi ladies--as promised, today is the last day but if you're in a shopping mood, I'm sharing my picks from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.
The Hunter Boots above in red aren't on sale but they have a pair with a cool zipper up the back that are. These boots never go on sale, so if you're looking for a pair, now is the time to scoop 'em up.
MY PICKS (CLICK TO SHOP)
The crisp white blazer is so pretty and simplistic, perfect with some distressed denim or to the office with a pencil skirt. I'm loving the lace on the velvet shorts and they are such a great price point.
The long dress is on the pricier side (under $300 though) and would be beautiful for a special occasion and of course I had to throw in a short LBD.
Fringe, collars and flared denim are all things I'm still really loving, and you can never go wrong with distressed, black skinnies.
It's the biggest shopping day of the year in Canada today: Boxing Day!
