Big style, (very) small package, 7″ to be exact. I am currently obsessed with these mini bags! I have my eye on one of the three colors hearted below. The icing on the cake is the chic monogram in the corner, you don’t have to add it but I am a sucker for adding my new married monogram to anything.
It’s Friday AND the Nordstrom sale is live! I’ve pulled a few of my favorites together for you! A few items for fall, makeup items that never go out of style, fun accessories and champagne coups – cause after all the weekend is here!
Shop my favorites:
Well it’s officially back to school and no matter how old I get I will always be a fan of school supplies. New pens, notebooks, calendars… you name it, I can’t resist. Anyone who knows me well knows that you can always find an assortment of markers, pens and multiple calendars on my desk at any given time.
My favorite supplies come from Paper Source. We don’t have a store here in New Orleans but whenever I am in a city with one it’s a must stop on my list. Perfectly merchandised office supplies and trinkets are my little slice of happy!
What’s better than a Friday AND a big sale?! I’m hitting up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and can’t wait to get my hands on a few new things for fall and some things I can use now!
VEST | STRIPE DRESS | CASHMERE SCARF | BOOTIES | TURKISH TOWELS | MOROCCAN OIL SET | CHECK SCARF | STRIPE SHIRT | CHECK JACKET
So here’s how the story goes, a few months back I spied the above shoes on a Facebook post for 7 For All Mankind and began the hunt. I found the flats and quickly there after a look for less. The look for less was still over $100 and I didn’t really want to spend that much on a pair of white flats. So I watched and waited for them to go on sale…..
Still not on sale…. I even set a sale alert on ShopStyle.
Then just on Friday I stumbled across the exact pair for $49 on LastCall.com! #Score They also come in a few other colors too!
Their Way: Nicholas Kirkwood $395
The Save Way: Ivanka Trump $49

Once the weather warms up I find myself reaching for shorts more often. Something about shorts immediately puts me in a casual and relaxed state of mind. Perfect for beach trips and long weekends. When shopping for shorts, I tend to look for these three styles: 
Novelty: Floral Stripe, Floral

People often ask, how do I stay inspired while shopping, two words….Fashion Week. Every fashion week I pay close attention to the shows, looking for common themes, trends and new silhouettes. I pin my favorite looks on pinterest, then refer to those pins when the season is upon us. To say I am looking forward to Fall 2013, is an understatement. The cooler weather and everything that comes along with it cannot get here soon enough. Here are the trends I will be on the lookout for when adding fall pieces to my closet.

C.Wonder continues to impress me. The selection is the perfect mix of eclectic meets practical. You must check out the new arrivals, everything from piggy banks to pillows, coasters and cases. Here are my top picks!
piggy bank, pillow, iphone case, jewelry box, bracelet, coasters, earrings
Lately {especially with the heat} I find myself reaching more and more for my cotton t-shirts. Today I paired a slim fit t-shirt with a colorful, flowy maxi skirt and an oversized necklace. Never underestimate the power of a fitted T{chic}-shirt . Try pairing them with big sparkly necklaces at night for a dressier look!
*The t-shirts above are my favorites! From the vintage collection by Old Navy and J.Crew. I typically purchase the J.Crew ones from the outlet store, much cheaper that way!
