I am a just in time kinda girl. Like barely, by the skin of my chinny chin chin, works best under pressure, just in time delivery, for everything kinda girl. Needless to say, I never did well with the whole shopping for the season ahead, ahead of that season. I remember once in my late 20s, with a certain job, and income, single, no children, walking into a very fancy store I had walked into many times before, for the last time. I like to just shop by myself, and a very persistent, sales woman, many years my senior asked me what I was looking for, maybe 11 times. I finally gave in and told her, and she laughed in a terrible way and told me “we are done with that season.” Meanwhile it was just the beginning of the very season that we were actually living in. I smiled, thanked her, and never went back. It was my very own Julia Roberts, Pretty Woman moment. Hold that thought.
I appreciated Shana’s recent explanation of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, especially, because I remember not knowing what the heck Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale was, and why everyone thought it was such a big deal, and what on earth the urgency and excitement were around. (Truth: that was fairly recent.) And now, well now I’ve learned. It is a big deal…b/c while simply being told that shopping ahead for a season is ‘what one does’ has never been sufficient motivation for me, and never will be…SALE, big, big, deeply discounted SALE, of things I’m going to need anyway all too soon, with a tight deadline absolutely is.
So fine, I’ve given in to it and have my eye on a few things for fall as I’m barely settling into summer and already sad that it will end too soon! I guess it’s always good to have something(s) to look forward to!
So, if you have early access, these are a few of the first things that caught my eye for HOME from the N sale. If you don’t, you can always pop them on your wish list and just wait for the access to the discounted pricing, which opens 7/20. We’ll have plenty more, styled HOME items, to come as access opens, so stay tuned for that. And all the shops, all of them, have plenty on sale and clearance that’s worth a look, like these sweet things that I’m in love with.

So the hot second I tagged those benches from Allmodern, I started singing “The Middle” out loud. And I haven’t stopped yet. Take a seat…right over there…oh baby…why don’t you just meet me in the middle? I’m losing my mind just a little…
Are you singing it now too? Yup. Here’s to everyone we love meeting us in the middle, at least. And to songs on auto repeat and dance parties and changing seasons and big time sales.
Happy Weekend! xoxo A
