My mother-in-law’s hydrangeas are on point this year! (And always.)
It’s been a while! Here’s what’s been going on with us. Please excuse the typos as I’m in the car. 😜

3 Versatile Summer Outfits
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to all cardholders today, so I thought I’d share three versatile summer outfits, from pieces included in the sale. From a polished everyday blazer to this cute and casual striped sweater and even an elegant evening dress.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | Favorites & Dates
It’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale season again, and today I’m sharing my favorite pieces.
If you aren’t familiar with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale every year Nordstrom has a sale on Fall clothes, shoes, accessories, and more before the season. The sale includes a range of new pieces and classics that brands bring back year after year.
Right now, the sale is only open to cardholders, but If you’re not a cardholder, have no fear! The sale will be open to everyone on July 15th. When the sale ends on July 31st that’s when you’ll see prices go back up. Before I get to my favorite pieces from the sale here are the key shopping dates you need to know.

$21 Bow Back Dress
Sweaters for Jellycat Bashful Stuffed Animals
Okay, this is a very random post. BUT I got the girls these adorable handmade personalized sweaters for their 12-inch medium-sized Jellycat stuffed animals for Easter, and I can’t tell you how many questions I received about them! So I thought I’d write a quick blog post.

What I Wore, 7/3
American Flag Sweater (Oversized. Also love the cropped version.) / Newer Jeans Here and Here / COMFIEST Ballet Flats Here and Here / UNDERWEAR DRYING ON THE STAIRS 😆 It’s fine / Also a dog toy / These wine glasses are GREAT / Dainty Dana Rebecca Necklace (It’s also on Nordstrom.com.) / Black Iron Cabinet / Similar Pendant Chandelier / Rouzati Stair Runner / Framebridge Triptych Frames
And we’re back! Look at me. On a roll over here with the “What I Wore” posts.
Obviously I wear my American Flag sweater way too often, but it’s just the best—and I feel like I get a pass today since tomorrow is the Fourth of July. :) It’s simply the best. Perfectly oversized, looks great over skinny jeans, and honestly makes an otherwise boring outfit. Also just brings me joy in general. A+!
Tuckernuck Summer Style Favorites
White Square Neck Blouse / Blue and White Stripe Button Down Shirt / White Eyelet Ruffle Sleeve Blouse / Blue Floral Square Neck Blouse / Beige Stripe Button Down Shirt / Navy and White Stripe Long Sleeve Crewneck / Chambray Shirt Dress / White Square Neck Smocked Dress / Blue and White Stripe Poplin Dress / Pink Bow Midi Dress / Navy Puff Sleeve Dress / White Shirtdress / Green Floral Midi Dress
I love Tuckernuck’s summer collection. From floral blouses and button-downs to shirt dresses and midi dresses, these are some of my Tuckernuck summer favorites.

What I Wore, 6/29
Smocked Linen Annie Dress / Newer Version of Sandals / Similar Bag / Sunglasses / Dainty Dana Rebecca Necklace (It’s also on Nordstrom.com.)
I’m always taking quick pics of outfits with the intention of including them in “What I Wore” posts, but then… life. 😜 Here, though, are a few outfits I wore recently.
I wore the above look out to a nice dinner with friends and then afterwards to Mitch’s cousin’s DJ session at “The Store” in Lincoln Park. I wanted something that would work in both (very different) environments, and the dress worked perfectly for the entire night. Because it’s linen, it’s extremely lightweight… but I also love that the puff sleeves keep my arms covered for over-air-conditioned spaces. The dress comes in white and blue, too!
