NSale purchase review

August 5, 2016

NSalePurchaseReview

We’re at the very last 3 days of the amazing Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, prices go back up Aug 8th! If you read my post on the sale shopping guide, this post is to follow up to show you what I’ve purchased and what I’m planning to snatch while the sale is still going on.

NSale shoe purchases:

NSaleNordstromAnniversarySalePurchaseReviewAndTryon-6

One of my weaknesses is shoes, especially when they’re on sale. But I did okay this year I think as I got them in a variety of styles and uses: flats, chunky heels, riding boots and rain boots. I already wore the below blush lace-up flats for a whole day of walking, and to be honest I wouldn’t walk for hours in them. I wore them on my day of traveling to Florida last week. I walked all day long in them, and even though I didn’t get any blister or hurt my feet terribly, I don’t think they’re meant for walking all day long. I still love the lace up and the blush color though. They also come in black and white, as well as suede in wine red and chestnut. I’m considering getting suede in wine red color.

These red rain boots pictured above have got to be my favorite rain boots from Hunter. Even though they come in black and navy as well, I think red is the cutest! Note they come in only whole sizes. On the site, Nordstrom will say to size up, but Hunter runs big, you need to size down! I’m a normal 6.5, and size 6 fits me great with a bit of room if I need to wear socks (is that weird to wear socks with boots?)

And what kind of shoe sale would it be if there isn’t Tory Burch riding boots? Got these black ones pictured below (only size 9 left now, but there’s also brown color) for $299 vs. regular price $495. They sit right below my knees and hold their shape well! I will be repeating them a lot this fall.

Here are a couple more shoe picks that I’m considering getting that you might love too:

NSale bag purchase:

NSaleNordstromAnniversarySalePurchaseReviewAndTryon-4

I’ve been looking everywhere for a casual blue handbag that I wear around town. Mostly because of the rest of my bag collection is pink, I need something on the cooler side. This Rebecca Minkoff bag ($264 after sale) reminds me of the Balenciaga City Bag minus the designer price tag ($2125), and the dusty blue is just so pretty. I also linked other picks I’ve heard other bloggers rave about:

NSale clothes purchases:

NSaleNordstromAnniversarySalePurchaseReviewAndTryon-7

Lastly, I got a couple of sweaters for myself and Dylan. Not pictured here is this very soft sweater for Dylan, very lightweight so he would have to layer it when it gets chilly. It would make great holiday gifts as well. And I also got myself this cashmere sweater in 2 colors: stripe and red (perfect for holiday parties), and am considering getting one for my Mom. When cashmere is on sale, you can’t help but get it!

Shop these picks here:

 

These below are on my wish list too, I really love the V-neck olive blouse and the awesome Zella leggings:

Try-on’s:

I also need to mention how awesome my parka coat is. It’s thick, and it has a kick-ass removable faux fur trim on the hood. Cold winter blizzards, I’m ready for you!

So, what did you get from the sale? What are you going to snatch in the last 3 days of this best sale of the year?

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
