It’s a gooooood morning! Today is the first day of Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! My mom and I spent a few hours in Nordstrom yesterday scoping out the sales and they are good this year!! I decided to let you in on my dressing room diaries and get a chance to see what I got before it’s gone!

Lavender Wool Trench Coat // $349.00 $229.90

Size Small

Brace the cold in this gorgeous wool blend wrap front coat. I went with my normal size small and think I would still be able to layer underneath for colder weather. This coat also comes in grey, camel, and lavender.

Lewit Marta Slingback Pump in Lilac Suede // $275.00 $164.90

Size 7.5

I call these my “Barbie Shoes.” The buttery suede feels so soft to your feet and the kitten heel makes them easy to walk in. I would say these run true to size. They also come in a black leather and an ivory leather.

Topshop Long Open Front Cardigan in Oat & Rose // $75.00 $49.90

Size 2

I couldn’t wait to try on this cozy cardigan! It would be cute over a sweater dress with booties for the fall or bundled up with a blanket scarf in the winter. I found this to run a little large and since it’s already more on the bulky side I didn’t want it to be too oversized so I would recommend sizing down in this one! It also comes in charcoal, dark green, rose, and oat.

North Face ThermoBall Hooded Parka // $230.00 $159.90

Size Small 

If you’re looking for more of an athletic warm coat for the colder temps I really liked this North Face parka. It has just enough insulation to keep you warm while still being thin enough to add more layers underneath. I found this to run true to size. It also comes in green and grey.

Thread & Supply Fleece Pullover in Ivory // $78.00 $51.90

Size Small

I love this fleece pullover because it reminds me of my sister (hey, Caroline!) it’s also one of the softest sweatshirts I’ve ever felt. It also has pockets! I personally like half-zips like this, but if you want a full zip + a hood this one is exactly like it. Since it’s already pretty fluffy I kept my regular size small and thought it fit fine, but if you’re wanting a little oversized I would suggest going up one size. It also comes in olive, ivory, charcoal, and charcoal/ivory mix.

Steve Madden Brinkley Over the Knee Stretch Boot // $129.95 $86.90

Size 7.5

I give these over-the-knee boots a 10/10. I am very impressed with the quality and they are actually comfortable, the block heel makes them easy to walk in and the pointy toe elongates your legs making them very flattering on. What I love the most about these is that they actually stay up on your thigh. I’ve had some over-the-knee boots in the past that will start to slide down after you’ve walked around or sat for a while, but these are so snug and don’t budge at all! I usually go up half a size when I purchase boots, but I really liked my normal 7.5. They also come in a beautiful camel color as well. These are a steal and will sell out fast.

Moonlight Pajamas // $65.00 $42.90

Size Small

I am officially throwing away every pair of pajamas I used to own. Sound dramatic? I promise, as soon as you put these on you will not want to sleep in anything else. They are the softest. I made my mom try on a set and she loved them too! I liked how the small fit. They also come in blue denim, navy, and a pink/purple color. And if you prefer sleeping in shorts over pants they have this set for $35.90!

Adidas Running Shoe // $85.00 $63.90

Size 7.5

It’s been a while since I’ve bought a pair of running shoes and I’m excited about these Adidas. How cute is this neon peachy color for summer?! Majority of the things I bought from the sale I can’t actually wear for a couple of months, but I’m excited to start wearing these! – We’ll see if they actually get put through a run – I found them to be true to size. They also come in a neutral grey color combination.

Zella Cropped Leggings // $59.00 $38.90

Size Small

If you’re in need of some cute workout wear or athleisure pieces I loved this pretty blue set. The leggings are high waisted and this is the matching sports bra.

Free People Saturday Morning Cardigan // $148.00  $98.90

Size XS/S

My very favorite cardigan is back this year! I bought this cozy Free People Saturday Morning Cardigan last year in ivory (which is also back in stock!) and it has probably been one of my most worn pieces in my closet. I always get compliments when I wear it. I love that it’s lightweight and breathable. It runs true to size and also comes wine as well as ivory.

B.P. V-Neck Tee // $17.00  $11.90

Size Small

These V-neck tees are great basics to have in your closet. I like how the small fits. They come in a ton of colors.

AG Ex-Boyfriend Relaxed Slim Jeans // $225.00 $149.90

Size 26

I’ve always liked the fit of AG denim and this pair is no exception. They are a perfect length hitting the ankle unrolled and can easily be cuffed for a different look. I found them to run true to size.

Steve Madden Reece Sock Bootie // $129.95  $86.90

Size 7.5

This is my first time to try the sock bootie trend and I was surprised how much I love it! This pair also has a block heel so they are comfortable and easy to walk in and I love the mixing of textures with the suede and stretchy material. They would be so cute with a skirt, or dress. If you wear them with pants I would go for a cropped style. I found them to run true to size. They also come in a tan suede and a rust suede.

I hope this dressing room diaries was helpful! I would love to hear about what all you guys find and are loving from the sale! As always, feel free to comment below or message me if you have any questions about anything.

bloom & grow forever,
