Kind of a fun post for you tonight. Now that things are calming down for us–house moved into, baby delivered and wallpaper (mostly) up 😉–I wanted to tell you a little bit more about our house hunt. Because it was definitely a confusing and complicated time in our lives!
Please excuse the mess, but I wanted to share a little “in progress” post for our master bedroom. I’m SO excited that it’s almost done, and I can’t wait to get back in there! (We’ve been sleeping in Lucy’s room during the transformation. 😉)
Note: I forgot to include a giveaway in yesterday’s post, so let’s do two today. To win one of TWO $50 prizes to shop the Preppy Girl’s Guide to Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, simply:
That’s it!
Mitch here!
Does anyone know why the world’s major retailers convene for these massive sales in the middle of July? Of course, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public in a few short days, which the ladies in my life seem to be very excited about. But we’re here to talk AMAZON PRIME DAY 2! I went through the whole sale so you don’t have to. Let’s get to it.
J.Crew Prairie Dress / Huarache Sandals (Sorry.)
Mitch snapped these photos for me over the Fourth because I wanted to show you guys this dress… and then I totally forgot about ’em. 😂
^ Finally got iPhone replaced after leaving it on the roof of the car and driving away. #killinit
Lilly Pulitzer Stella Shift (View all LP solid dresses here. Also have and love this one.) / Huarache Sandals (Yes. I should probably switch out my shoes every once in a while.)
Hey, Friends! How was your weekend? Because of all the Sale craziness, it’s been a few days since I really checked in. ;) So I thought I’d share a post about all the thrilling things we did this past weekend! 😂 Also, please note that I have Lucy on my lap and I’m typing this one-handedly. So please excuse… everything. Not re-reading or editing, haha. #momlife
Also, as promised, I’m giving away $50 to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in this post! To enter, let’s say you simply need to:
This is my last roundup for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—Phew!–but it’s definitely my favorite with the life stage I’m currently in. We need quite a bit for our new house, so I’ve loved browsing through the home section from the sale… and the girls are constantly growing out of their stuff, so we definitely did some damage in the kids’ section. ;) Mitch’s birthday is also in October, and I love that his gifts are now covered through the men’s sale! (AHEAD of the game. When has that ever happened for me?! 😂)
To enter today’s $100 giveaway to shop the sale, simply:
Okay, Friends! I’m back with a little Nordstrom Anniversary Sale “try-on session,” where you’ll be able to see how everything I tried in-store actually looked. I’m also giving away $200 to shop the second day of the sale!
Two things, though, before we get to it:
This. Took. Forever. 😂 (It might be 3 a.m. as I’m hitting publish, haha. Say a little prayer for me this morning.)
But no matter, because today’s the day! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to all cardholders at 11:30 a.m. EST/10:30 a.m. CST… and my guide to shopping the entirety of the women’s selection is LIVE! I’m really excited about it. I hope it helps you navigate the sale and enjoy it. :)
As mentioned, I’m breaking things up and focusing on the women’s section today since it’s so big. Tomorrow, though, I’ll be featuring my favorites from everything else: Men, Kids and Home. So stay tuned for that! And later today, I’ll be posting commentary/sizing info on my favorites from each section as well as a try-on session with mirror photos taken on my big camera because I recently drove away with my iPhone on the roof of my car… and haven’t had it fixed or replaced yet. So YEAH. Those pics will be good for a laugh, at least. 😜 But circle back in a few hours for all of that! (I’ll be going into way more detail about products then.)
Edit: Congrats to Katie M. for winning! Btw: Yesterday’s winner was Maggie M. Congrats, Maggie!
But let’s move on to the guide, shall we?!
Barbour Waxed Coat with Floral Lining — $266.90 sale price; $399 after sale (Also consider this one, which is part of the regular Nordstrom sale section. I LOVE it.)
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to all cardholders tomorrow (Friday, July 12th) at 11:30 a.m. EST/10:30 a.m. CST! (Customers with “Icon” or “Ambassador” status can shop today.) Tomorrow, I’ll post a carefully curated sale guide so shopping is actually FUN. (Mitch says that our tagline is “we’re staying up all night so you don’t have to.” 😂) And I’ll post “try-on” photos of the pieces I liked best in-store. Woo!
The most exciting part, though? As a thank you for supporting our blog (and us!), the Larkin Family is hosting a cash giveaway to shop the sale every day from now until August 4th. (The last day of the sale.) To kick things off, we’re giving away $150 today and $300 tomorrow! As always, entering will be super easy and your chances of winning are HIGH!

As promised in yesterday’s Nordstrom shoes +accessories sale post, I’m back to highlight some awesome sale clothing that you can shop now, before the Anniversary Sale goes live. Again, I’ve always found that right before the Anniversary Sale starts, the normal sale selection gets extraordinarily good. So let’s dive into clothing!
