Here are all of my favorites for this years Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
I don’t even know where to start when this sale comes around. This is usually the time I buy my brown boots for the fall season, but my boots have kept up their look and shape. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is definitely the best time to buy your favorite pricy item because it is most likely marked down. For non-card holders the sale begins July 20th and ends on August 5th. I’d say my favorite item at the moment is the Double V Rib Knit Tank, perfect to throw on with any type of shorts for the summer. FYI it comes in a ton of different colors!

Must Have Summer Accessories
Summer is just about here but not quiet yet, it leaves plenty of time to stock up on some accessories for summer. Just in time for summer I put together some of my must have accesories, and I also included tips on saving on all of these items. For my secrets on saving money when shopping click here.
First up is a plain baseball cap. I wear baseball caps nearly everyday during the school year, but in my opinion they’re essential to my wardrobe during all seasons. A simple white baseball cap would match anything on days you’re just to lazy to wear makeup or have your hair done.
My second must have are statement earrings. I am obsessed lately with statment earrings because they make a simple outfit exciting and different. To me a perfect outfit is denim jeans or shorts, a simple white tee, statement earrings and espadrilles. That SCREAMS summer to me. So the problem is that statment earrings can be pricy and in my opinion they’re more of a seasonal summer/spring piece. I wouldn’t reccomend Romwe for clothing BUT for earrings you only wear a few times out of the year they have a great selection. Romwe has plenty of dupes for Baublebar statement earrings. Don’t get disscouraged by Romwe’s website, it can be chaotic, you really have to search for a good pair of earrings. I reccomend Forever21‘s as well! Ill attach below the pairs I bought and recommend.
Next up are bandanas. Bandanas are similar to statement earrings in my opinion. They dress up any plain outfit and add a fun touch to your hair. I know Madewell, Princess Polly, Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters have some good ones if you look for them!
My favorite summer shoes (other then my Jack Rogers) are Espadrilles. Everyday I find I pair I am in love with. The pink pair below I recently bought at a local boutique and I’m obsessed. I love the look of them and they’re just so practical because they go with almost everything. The flatform gives an even 1-2 inches to your height, perfect for someone short like me. The pink pair definitely needed some breaking into around the toes but it was well worth it. The pink pair comes in a number of colors. Espadrilles seem to be like last summers Mules trend (which I still love). The blue pair are surprisingly from Forever21, I love the look of them and the navy will go with almost anything.
I found all these pieces through the app Dote. It is perfect for when your’re looking for specific items because it searches for the product through all the stores featured in the app (which are most stores). The app lets you know when your favorite items go on sale and you can reedem coins each day for free shipping and more!

Travel Diary: Naples, Florida
Being a senior in high school, if an opportunity to travel with your friends comes along, you take it. I’m so happy we all got the chance to detox from school, life and just take a few days to breathe and live worry free. I think it’s safe to say we all want to go back to Naples.
The trip began in Atlantic City, New Jersey where we took off for Fort Myers, Florida. Our flight was delayed but we didn’t land too much later than expected. The minute we exited the airport and felt that warm winter air, we all were incredibly content and thankful to being missing the snow storm at home (or so we thought). We stayed at my friend Amanda’s grandparents home, there we were greeted with a ton of delicious baked goods, sandwiches and more. The next morning we went to a beach called Clams Pass and that’s when sunburn invaded most of my friends’ bodies. That night aloe was essential in order to calm and soothe our irritated, lobster-like skin. We headed to the beach again for the sunset which was beautiful and displayed a number of orange tones.
Next day, we woke up bright and early for a boat day in Bonita Springs. This had to be my favorite day of the trip. Spending all day sunbathing on a boat and docking up to an island is my image of a perfect day, and it was just that! After the relaxing boat day, at night we headed to downtown Naples which was the cutest place ever! It was a large, popular downtown area surrounded by shops and palm trees. It had nearly anything from ice cream shops to beach stores.
Our last day, we went to Vanderbilt beach which was yet another calm and serene day! Early morning we paddle boarded which was a ton of fun until I ended up in the ocean and I was unable to touch the sandy floor below me. Lost my sunglasses, they’re probably floating around somewhere in the Atlantic as I type this. When we got back to Amanda’s grandparents home we packed, soaked in the hot tub and went for dinner at the Clubhouse in their development. Before we knew it, we were on our flight back home to New Jersey and just a day later the snow fell…
Thank you to the cutest grandparents for keeping seven crazy people with them, xoxo.
