The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale goes live for everyone today at 12:30!
This highly requested post is finallllly done. I know the #nsale can be annoying and is over saturated. I get it. But, I also know that a lot of you don’t have a Nordstrom card and haven’t been able to shop the sale yet.
Lots of items are sold out, but I also think lots of items aren’t a great price. Yes, they’re on sale, but 10-20% off really isn’t that great.
So, I’ve rounded up a bunch of similar options. Some are better prices and some are even prime shipping (YASSSSSSSSSS)
2. This completely sold out leopard cardigan ($31.90). Great Dupe for this one HERE ($28.99)! Can you even really tell the difference?
3. Sold out Halogen Leopard Pleated Midi skirts. I do think this style of skirt is going to be hugely in for fall. This Amazon dupe is almost exactly the same for $21.99!!! This Dupe is different, but I’m kind of obsessed with the print.
4. Man, there’s a ton of leopard on this list LOL. This cute little swing dress ($49.90) sold out super fast. Dupe linked HERE and HERE – Both options are under $20!!!
5. BB Dakota Chambray Dress – only available in size L, XL, and XXL. Tons of Dupes for this adorable dress. HERE HERE HERE and HERE (this one is $14!).
6. These adorbs jammies. Linking an exact dupe HERE on Amazon for $28 bucks.
7. This scarf sold out SUPER fast. Good news, it was easy to find multiple VVVVV similar scarves. They are linked HERE ($26) HERE and HERE ($12)
8. This Gibson Sweater… LOVE the color. DUPE for $25 bucks
9. Spanks Faux Leather Leggings… These are still $61 even on sale. SOOOO why not try a Dupe? Similar Linked HERE (I’m ordering these!) and HERE
10. BP Joggers that sold out the first day. I actually don’t love these, I don’t want to look like I’m walking around in pajamas. I prefer the look of THESE.
11. These sold out, but were restocked. If you love them, great. I don’t love them. Here are some animal inspired prints I do love. Linked HERE ($25) and HERE.
These $64 black block heels are a closet staple. BUT if the $64 part is making you pause. HERE are almost identical shoes for $32 bucks.
12. Love these but hate the $164 price tag? Here are some $63 dollar dupes for yaaaaa.
That’s it for now. If you want a dupe of something specific, message me and I’ll do my best to find it.

Happy Prime Days! Two days of deals on deals on deals.
I’m rounding up all my Amazon finds here for you guys.
Reminder: NOT all the deals go live at the same time. So, some of the things linked here aren’t on sale yet. If it doesn’t say “prime day deal” it’s not on sale yet.
I’ll keep updating this here and on stories. Flash deals sell out fast. Use the Buy it Now button if it’s something you love.
My favorite plain black and white tees are part of prime day! There are linked below. I have 3 of each and I wear them all the time.
I’m also gonna join 2019 by getting airpods. Will I lose them immediately? Stay tuned…
I tried to organize the picks accordingly.. First is fashion, next is beauty, last is tech.
xoxo
Wow, it’s been a hot second since I wrote a blog post.
I am going to try to be more consistent (sorry y’all). SO many of you have messaged me to ask if I stopped blogging (NO!). But, since joining RewardStyle – most of my shoppable posts are on that platform and here under Shop My Instagram.
Let’s get down to business. The time has come for the annual Nordstrom sale. To be honest, I’ve been kind of dreading it for a few reasons.
So, because of this.. I’m choosing not to hit the sale hard. I picked 10 things I think are actually worth purchasing. I’ll most likely do a try on session this weekend at my local Nordstrom and that will be that.
Just to note – The sale for cardholders is live today. If you don’t have a Nordstrom card, the sale will go live the 19th.
Honorable Mentions:
Splurge Items:
I’m gonna keep updating this as things sell out/ I find things I like. Stay tuned for my try on session tomorrow in store.

Happy Cinco Babes!
As promised (so late I know) I wanted to share a little bit more about our trip to Cancun.
So, I’ve been to Mexico lots of times. But, we’ve always just used Cancun as a jumping off point, traveling to Tulum or Playa del Carmen. We’ve never actually stayed there. I’d heard lots of varying things about Cancun, so we decided to check it out and see for ourselves. Raleigh has a direct flight right into Cancun so it was the perfect quick little getaway.
We stayed at the beautiful Grand Fiesta Americana Cancun. We booked a beautiful suite with a huge rooftop balcony. The views were unreal and the water was just the prettiest shade of blue. We had unlimited access to the VIP lounge at the very top of the hotel. There they had daily breakfast, lunch and happy hour with heavy hors d’oeuvres.
The pools at this hotel are crazy. We lost count, but it seemed like they went on forever and ever. We mainly stayed at the pool bar. There was also a VIP area on the beach and at the pool. They have a variety of water activities as well. We went jet skiing and swam out to the anchored dock.

The hotel has the largest spa in South America, so we had to check it out. It was beautiful and beyond relaxing. The eucalyptus steam room was SO good.

All in all, we were super pleasantly surprised about out trip to Cancun. I am SO in for any tropical location that’s just a short direct flight away. I never felt unsafe the entire time we were there. We ventured out into downtown Cancun every night we were there. We even ate tacos at 2 am and I never even felt uneasy.

Happy Tuesday Babes!
As always, wanted to share a little bit more about our trip to Miami. Miami is hands down one of my favorite places to visit in Florida. It’s just so extra. Sorry, there just really isn’t a more fitting word for Miami. We always have the best time and the shopping is to die forrrrrrrrr. Picked up a new baby while we were there. More to come on that.
SO SO Good. This hotel was rated the #7 hotel in the U.S. last year. Yup, it’s that good. There are four pools and the hotel sits right on the beach. The beach club is private and beautiful. The staff is super accommodating and ready to help. I loved staying here, highly recommend.
Ok, head to Baoli where all your boujee dreams will come true. Many, many celeb sightings here. It’s a restaurant/ bar that gets club-y at night. We had dinner and if you’re heading there for dinner you NEED a reservation. They weren’t even letting people in the door without a reservation when we went.
The food is Asian fusion and it’s GOOOOOD. We had the omakase which is Japanese for “I’ll leave it up to you”. Basically, the chef decides all 12 (yes, TWELVE) courses for you. It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
I LOVE to people watch and Baoli was SO good for this. Bach or bachelorette parties, influencers, just people watching galore.
Il Gabbiano is a Miami institution so we had to check it out. You need a reservation for dinner. We made ours 2 weeks in advance and still were stuck with a 9 pm reservation. That’s fine though – go early for some prime people watching (I feel like there’s a theme here). It’s Italian food and it was super good. Homemade pasta, and bread. Just call me Carbie.
I’m not a huge breakfast person but HOLY YUM. Avocado Toast to die forrrrr. We also had to huevos rancheros which were really good. &&&&& the coffee!!!! The restaurant is super cute too. It’s small, so either make a reservation or be prepared to wait.

We really just wanted to hang poolside and beachside for the weekend. It has been really cold in Raleigh, so we wanted to soak up the sun. On Saturday, we stayed at the Rooftop pool the entire day. It’s adults only and the view is perfect.
Questions? Email me, DM me! We love Miami and I highly recommend making the trip!
