Thank you, Nordstrom, for providing us with a little distraction right about now. Since almost EVERYTHING is on sale, I thought I'd put together some of my very favorite items that you can snag at a great price. Some are perfect for home-life and some will be great once we're able to get together for events again.

This time every year I start craving new jeans in a pretty blue wash. You probably know by now I adore black denim and mostly wear that year-round. BUT...when we have like one single sunny day in late February or early March, I get fresh, new blue jeans on the brain...and not just any blue. I need perfect vintage-y,...
Cropped jeans seem to trip some peeps up when it comes to styling them in the winter.
It's true that many jeans and shoe combos we love around here show some ankle; it's a flattering look. But yeah, that pairing gets cold in the winter. Though you'll still see me doing it in temperate Portland, there are definitely plenty...
Birkenstocks got me through my pregnancy last summer. I actually never realized how versatile they are (especially in the rose gold color) until last summer when I was forced to wear them with everything. Every. Single. Day. I had such bad back pain that heels were out of the question, and most flat sandals weren't comfortable enough to walk...
American Eagle's Tomgirl Jeans have been my favorites for years . . . and they just get better with time. I hate putting them away every winter (helloooo snow and freezing temperatures), but I love bringing them back out in the spring. They're perfect for the transition from spring to summer, and a great option for when you aren't...
I splurged on these boots. I partially blame Gwen ("you do tend to wear rag & bone for many, many years, S") and I partially blame you guys — those of you who asked me about them, you tricky devils, you. Of course, at the first sign of possible reader interest I was all #research!!! All in the name of...
You don't really have to sell me on the theory of matching sets. They're basically a more versatile romper (or dress, as the case may be). I get it. But for some reason...despite the fact that matching sets have been a trend now for, oh, several years...I hadn't actually taken the plunge.
Enter this silk leopard print set by Anine...
We took the kids to the movies the other night. There's something so romantic about going to the movies. Admittedly, my kids are a bit stymied by the whole concept (Why are they showing that movie? Why can't we just pick the one we want?), but once we explain that they should think of movies as old-fashioned (compared to their expectation...
If you had told me last year I'd be obsessed with a floral blazer this year I probably wouldn't have believed you. But here we are and here I AM.
This was a piece I got a few months back on a whim because it was cheap and why the heck not? Little did I realize I'd fall in love with...
I've been a long-time fan of Banana Republic. They were my go-to place when I got my first real job, the place I first splurged on a wool Lady Day coat, and the brand is directly responsible for my obsession with comfortable, chic heels.
We were living in DC at the time, just married, and I remember building all date...
