Ruffled Off-the-Shoulder Top (On major sale!) / Skirt (On sale!) / Sam Edelman Pumps (And all of these are very similar and on sale: one / two / three) / Similar Woven Tote (On sale! And here’s the actual one I’m carrying.) / Similar Kendra Scott Bracelet Here and Here / Earrings (And obsessed with this pair, this pair and this pair from BaubleBar!) / Replacement Sunglasses / BP. Hat (Not available online; similar here, here and here.)

It’s here, guys!

Early Access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live. If you’re a Nordstrom cardholder (credit or debit), you can shop the selection before the sale is made available to the public on July 21st. This is undoubtedly my favorite sale of the year, as it features the upcoming fall collection, too. Meaning that it’s not just what’s leftover from previous seasons; it’s stuff from the future.

Hahaha — I’m pretty funny at 2 a.m., no?

Ric Rac Blazer (On sale! I also love this scalloped blazer from Draper James and this blazer (and its striped sister), all on sale as well.) / Mar Y Sol Tote (Actual one here, and all Mar Y Sol bags are on sale!) / Hudson Jeans (But I just ordered this pair, and my eyes are on this pair, both of which are on sale!) / Block Heel Sandals (They also come in navy, red and jute.) /  Scalloped Cami / Lisi Lerch Earrings c/o / Replacement Sunglasses

As I’m sure you guys have heard, the Early Access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow, which means you can shop before the masses if you have a Nordstrom credit or debit card. But a little known fact: Nordstrom actually puts a TON of its merchandise on major sale right before Early Access. Which means that you can get a head start today. You don’t need a Nordstrom card to shop the selection, products don’t rapidly go out of stock, and everything ships and returns for free–just as usual.

It’s kind of like avoiding Black Friday madness. ;)

Ruffled Madras Top and Skirt (The shorts are adorable, too. Also love this madras top, which I wore here!) / Tuckernuck Hat (Also comes in black and navy) / Lisi Lerch Earrings (More colors on the website) / Jack Rogers Sandals (Mine are old, but this pair and this pair are close. I also love the classics, the monogrammed pair, and THESE.) / Emma’s Jumper and Bow (GUYS. We also have this plaid bubble and it’s the cutest. Also, who knew there was a matching madras baby dress?! And guys’ shirt?! MISSED OPPORTUNITY, haha.) / Replacement Sunglasses / Straw Bag (This one is super similar. And love this one, this one and this one!)

GUYS. I love me some work-free weekends.

I know that blogging can often appear to be very easy. And I’ll admit that sometimes it is, and those times are 🙌. But this past year was not a cakewalk, and I often found myself daydreaming about quitting because I knew I was doing a crappy job. Which is sad, because I love blogging! I really, really do. But you know: when you’re spread too thin and you’re tired, it’s hard to love any hobby or job. Heck, I found myself disliking writing and photography–two things I’ve always loved.

Liberty London Dress (Sold out, but the top, shorts, and pajama set are still available!) / Tory Burch Sandals (Old, but this current pair is my fave. Also similar here and here, and love this tortoise pair.) / J.Crew Tote (Such a steal!) / Lisi Lerch Earrings (Lisi Lerch is also available at Tuckernuck!) / Initial Necklace

Liberty London reminds me of my childhood. I remember jackets and overalls lined with the company’s iconic patterns, and dresses with giant Peter Pan collars. It brings me back in the best possible way, and I really gravitate toward Liberty London-esque patterns for my own daughter. I mean, it’s ultimate sweetness, right?!
