If you're the type to always be cuddled up in a blanket when you're at home (me 99% of the time because I'm always cold) then I want to introduce you to your new best friend. The barefoot dreams cozy chic throw is the softest and coziest blanket I've ever owned. I can't believe it took me this long to buy one but I'm so glad I did. I never thought I'd spend this much on a blanket but I think it's well worth it because it feels like a cloud. I just purchased it during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for under $100 (originally $147). It comes in so many beautiful neutral colors that it was hard to choose one but I decided on the pale pink.
When I first took it out of the box and felt the blanket I loved it but wasn't convinced that it was worth the money. It wasn't until I washed & dried it and then wrapped myself in the blanket that I was truly convinced that it's the best throw ever! It washed really well and I actually think it's softer now after washing and drying.
I originally wanted the cozychic in the wild blanket but it's so popular that it sold out super fast and hasn't restocked. The one I bought goes better with the decor in my apartment and was cheaper so I'm not mad about it.
Sale price: $52.90
After Sale: $80
One of the best sales that I look forward to every year is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you're not familiar with it then let me tell you...you're going to love it! You get brand new fall merchandise at amazingly good prices. The sale lasts a few weeks and then the prices go back up. But it allows you to stock up fall/winter essentials like boots, sweaters, leggings, coats, blankets, etc. before the chilly weather actually rolls in. Early access to the NSALE started yesterday, July 12th and then public access starts July 19th. To shop early you need to have the card, which I highly recommend getting (you can get it here) because some of the best stuff sells out before public access begins.
After I got home from work yesterday I hopped on my computer and started browsing the sale and found so many good things! This year I found that I mostly wanted jeans, shoes, and beauty items. I'll be doing a try on haul whenever everything arrives but for now, I wanted to share what I bought in case you guys need some ideas on what to buy.
This next pair of jeans I was so excited to see in the sale! They are the new ribcage jeans from Levis. It's the highest rise that they have - supposed to hit above the belly button. Okay, they're not that new, their ribcage jeans have been out for a while but I've been wanting to try them for months and now that they're on sale I had to get a pair. I ordered my usual size 24.
I thought this leather mini skirt would be perfect to pair with chunky knit sweaters this fall and winter. I ordered a size US4.
I wanted a pair of over the knee boots from Stuart Weitzman for years but they were super out of my budget. That's when I bought a pair from forever 21 that I wore to death. They're still sitting in my closet because I loved them but I really should throw them away. But this year I decided to treat myself and get these as a replacement for the f21 pair. Also an early birthday present to myself lol. If my f21 boots lasted me 2-3 years these will last me many more.

Like I mentioned before I really wanted more jeans and fell in love with this dad style from topshop! They are very loose and give me so many 90s vibes! These will go perfect with sexy heel and crop top or sweater. I got a sized 25 and hope they will fit well because these are a looser style but I know topshop can run small. I'm usually a 24 in most jeans but didn't want these to be too small.
Last fall I bought a trucker jacket from levis that I wore NONSTOP. Hands down one of my most favorite pieces. So I knew I had to have this faux fur trucker jacket when I saw it. I love anything warm and cozy so this jacket is perfect for me. I ordered a size small.
This eyelash serum is amazing and I swear by it! It's super easy to use, I just apply it every night right before bed (you could also just apply it right before your makeup in the mornings), it doesn't irritate my eyelids either. It's part of the Anniversary Sale every year and it's the best deal I've found because you get two tubes for the price of one. They also have a version for eyebrows called neuBROW that's also part of the sale.
I was so excited when I saw OUAI in the nsale! They're one of my favorite brands (I swear by their memory mist) and I've been dying to try the scalp and body scrub because I've heard so many good things about it. This set is $38 so essentially you are getting the rose hair & body oil for free because the scrub retails for $38 by itself.
I always hear people talk about how amazing these blankets are I've never understood paying so much for a blanket but this year I couldn't resist the urge so I ordered this one in the light pink. I wanted the white/grey leopard print one but those already sold out!! Another crazy popular item from barefoot dreams is the cardigan.
If you've never tried the Zella live-in leggings before, grab yourself a pair now while they're on sale. This year I opted for a bike short instead of their live-in leggings because the one I have from last year still looks good and I've been loving bike shorts lately. These are made of a ribbed material that makes them look so much more expensive. It's always fun to opt for basics with different textures because it's an easy way to elevate them and make them more fun and interesting.
This Charlotte Tilbury will probably sell out because it's in their best selling shade pillowtalk. It comes with the liner, lipstick and gloss.
That's all for now. As soon as I receive my packages I'll try them on a do another post for you all.
You guys love when I do hauls so here are some of the things I've bought from American Eagle in the last couple weeks. I've been trying to pick up a lot of summer basics like t-shirts and shorts. I'm including new pieces as well as a few from the sale section. I do want to mention that I work there so I did purchase these with my employee discount.
The mom shorts are one of my favorite styles that american eagle sells. They come with rolled hems but after washing they get unrolled and I discovered I love the unrolled look even more. I find that they do run bigger than other styles of shorts, I'm wearing a size 0 here. This tube top is my favorite that I own because it doesn't fall down and the material feels really nice. They come in many colors and are on sale right now for $6.
This tank is from the sale section and can be worn untucked to show off the tie at the front or you can tuck it in for a different look. I'm wearing a size small.
I love the colors in this crochet tank they are perfect neutral summer colors. I'm wearing a size s but wish I would've gotten the xs because the straps on this are a little long and not adjustable. There are limited sizes online but it just went on clearance at my store so I recommend going to your nearest ae and checking there.
I'm always cold so this cardigan has been my go-to for throwing on over tanks. I feel like it's the perfect summer cardigan because it's cropped and loosely knitted so it's not overly warm. It can also be worn just as a top if you button it all the way up. It comes in a few other colors and just went on clearance. I'm wearing size small.
I love the square neckline on this tank and it's my favorite color so I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it! It's a clearance item so you might have some luck checking your nearest ae store. I'm wearing it with the knit cardigan for a cuter layered look. I'm wearing a size small.
The colors on this top are just perfect and it's made of a very lightweight and airy fabric. This is another clearance find so you might be able to find it in store. It also came in a pink and white stripe but they didn't have my size. I was so bummed because it was even cuter in pink if you can believe that lol. You can wear this tucked at the front or my personal favorite way to wear it is knotting it at the front. I'm wearing size xs.
This oversized tshirt is one of my absolute favorites and I own it 3 colors. I'm always recommending it to everyone! It's oversized so you could probably size down and still get an oversized look. I'm wearing a size small in the pink but I have a size medium in the neon green and purple. Head to your nearest ae and grab all the colors because you'll love it. Style tip: I always tell customers to make it cuter by rolling up the sleeves and tieing it into a knot at the front!
I love a good band tee and the colors on this one were just too pretty to pass up. I sized up to a large in this tee because I wanted a looser fit and this also makes it easier to tie a knot at the front. This band tee paired with the unrolled mom shorts is my whole summer vibe! Also if you're wondering about the white sandals, they're zara and highly recommend!!
Lastly is a basic black bike short. I wear these to the gym and also to run errands but can also be dressed up with some heels. The possibilities are endless!
Biker shorts + band tee + leather jacket = ♥♥!
The sandals white sandals that I'm wearing throughout this post are from zara and I highly recommend them as an easy to wear with anything summer sandals!
The leather jacket I'm wearing is the best one I've ever owned. I've had it for 3-4 years and it still looks and smells amazing (I wrote a full review here)!
If you're wondering how to wear backless/low cut summer tops with no bra, I swear by these from bristols six!
The little waist bag styled in these photos is the super mini dionysus gg supreme from gucci. It's a great little summer bag because it fits only the essentials and can be worn in many different ways!
I use this curling iron to curl my hair. It's like no other that I've tried. I use this ouai product to hold the style longer and to protect my hair from heat.
The babe necklace I'm wearing is from one of my favorite jewelry brands, aurate new york.
