Hinge Ivory Lace Top / Joe’s Jeans / Rebecca Minkoff Bucket Bag / Shoes: Old, Similar Here

It’s taken me a while to pull the trigger and get a pair of flare jeans.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale felt like the perfect time to get a pair (on sale)!  I am so glad I did!  When I put them on I loved the way I felt in them.  I immediately felt sexy!  I can’t wait to show you what they look like with a pair of pumps!

I’ve been wearing skinny jeans for so long I forgot how amazing flare jeans are.  Paired with this lace top I feel so 70’s.  I must have been channeling my inner 70’s vibes and peace and harmony, because a butterfly landed on my shirt while we were taking these pictures.  John captured the moment!  It was so awesome!  My jeans, top and bag are all currently on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.

In case you noticed, my hair is a slightly different color. I wanted to try a lavender toner.  My hair didn’t take the lavender color like I wanted it to.  Some spots turned out way more lavender than others.  My colorist kept trying different things hoping my hair would work.  What should have been a 90 minute appointment turned into a 4 hour appointment.  I’m happy with the way it turned out.  I’m hoping next appointment my hair will cooperate more.

Jacket: ASTR / Top: Topshop / Shorts: Treasure & Bond (under $80) / Shoes: Sam Edelman, Similar / Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Earrings: Sonya Renee / Ring: Kendra Scott / Watch: Kate Spade / Sunglasses: DVF / Lip: NARS ‘Turkish Delight’ Lipgloss

We have had Phoebe for about 6 weeks now and she has stolen our hearts!  She is the sweetest little ball of fur.  I finally feel like our family is complete.  The day I brought her home she weighed 2 pounds & 2 oz., yesterday she had a check up and weighed 5 pounds.  How is she growing so fast?!  Of course we are still working on potty training, no biting, no barking, etc.  But she brings that extra added life and spunk to the house!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going on the for early access.  The sale begins for everyone this Friday, the 17th.  I’ve already been back to the store for round 2.  And I’ve placed several orders online.  I will be doing a haul YouTube video in the next day or 2 to show you what I got.

Today Kendra Scott released their fall line, Mystic Bazaar.  I had the honor of seeing it early and it is amazing!!  I have been dying for you to see it.  I have been wearing their pieces so much since getting them.  This ring and this necklace have been on repeat with so many outfits.  And this earring cuff I can’t get enough of!

Also (I know I’m writing a lot today), this is the time of year where I start thinking about transitional pieces.  I know it’s only mid July, but in Chicago it will be fall weather in 2 short months.  I like this top and jacket combo as it can be worn with shorts for summer, then jeans or grey pants for fall.

Dress: Felicity & Coco / Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (on Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) / Shoes: Sam Edelman, Similar / Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs

The other night after dinner we took a little walk and found this beautiful place with all these gorgeous flowers.  Sofia and Caleb had so much fun running around playing and smelling the flowers.  They were pretending they were in a castle, it was so cute!

This maxi dress is very figure flattering!  It has a nice V-cut at the neckline, which elongates.  And a great cinching in the waist, which gives a great hourglass figure.  I’m obsessed with this Rebecca Minkoff bucket bag I got from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! I love the color and the big fringe tassels on it.  If you have early access (cardholder) you can purchase it now.  Or the sale starts for everyone on Friday, July 17th.
