Nordstrom Sneak Peek

July 14, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off. I won’t be shopping until the 16th but I’ve gathered together the pieces I think are worth a look. Every year I try to stick to classic pieces and things that will genuinely save you money. I’m kicking it off with the selections that caught my eye.

LOVING ALL OF THESE

  • Fair Isle sweater – so pretty
  • striped long sleeve – Riley and I both love this
  • denim button down – classic
  • striped button down – another classic choice, sold out fast lsat year
  • bralette – $30 usually $46 (this is when I buy 2)
  • necklace – beautiful
  • clutch – now under $100
  • stacked rings – love these, $31
  • suede handbag – now $72
  • leather handbag – under $100
  • striped sweater – Riley loves this
  • floral sweater – really cute

I’m not a huge fan of the dress selection but do really like this denim dress. A brand that always gets it right.

I only buy these on sale and can honestly say they are great. Incredibly soft and hold up so well. I’ve had one of my pairs for a good 4-5 years now. Riley loves these, too.

I think this is really pretty. A nice size to hold everything.

In person, this bag is beautiful. It also comes in black.

This purse is prettier in person than online and not as deep as I thought. A really pretty handbag.

coats

I genuinely really like the coat selection this year. I always lean towards the classic style. My daughter has her eye on the jean jacket for school.

  • short coat with belt – so chic
  • denim jacket – Riley is wanting this
  • short trench coat – classic look
  • puffer jacket -great for cold weather
  • plaid coat – I’m truly in love with this
  • wool plaid trench coat – I am a sucker for the plaid coat
  • oversized trench coat – really pretty
  • leather jacket
  • double breasted coat– so classic

I had to show you a closer look at this. I’m sort of in love with this coat. It’s definitely on my wishlist.

This North Face jacket has been a best seller so far. Water repellent and machine washable!

denim
  • ONE: super cute drawstring denim
  • TWO: a great length boyfriend jean
  • THREE: Favorite Daughter – these are really cute
  • FOUR: Paige are always a safe bet, such a good fit
  • FIVE: I really like this brand, perfect reviews

I have a pair of Pistola jeans and I adore them. Very soft and such a fantastic fit. These have perfect reviews which is rare. I would definitely consider these if you are in the market for denim.


This is how they looked on me. LOVE the wash. I am wearing the 26. And this sweater is adorable!! It’s oversized on its own so go with your normal size. This is an XS. It comes in two other pretty colors.

These jeans will sell out quickly. A great pair of Mother jeans and almost $100 off.

shoes
  • cowboy boots – great reviews and many colors
  • slingback pump – these are gorgeous
  • mary jane flats – six colors, so cute
  • perforated mary janes – five colors
  • suede mules – beautiful, under $100
  • adidas sneakers – so cute
  • on clouds – so comfy
  • new balance – these are great, I wear them all the time
  • new balance with pink – love these
  • flat sandals – darling style, under $50
  • neutral heels
  • cowboy booties – I have these and love them
  • black heel – under $100

These are very pretty. The heel isn’t to high and a nice price point. This type of heel goes with everything.

ACTIVEWEAR

I will be buying this set. Very comfortable and the booty on the leggings make you look great! Super comfortable. Top here and bottoms here.

DON’T MISS OUT

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is when I stock up on Osea body butter. It’s incredible. Highly recommend.

We continue to love the Our Place pieces we have. This set is more than $100 off. And this color is great! The air fryer is also on sale and one of the cleanest options on the market.

I’ll continue to share throughout the sale but I hope this is helpful. I will be rounding up home finds and things I spot for the men in our lives, too. Have a wonderful day.

Connection Means Everything

July 10, 2026 by Courtney 4 Comments

The other day I came across an Instagram post that encouraged invitation over intention. It really made me pause. I will be the first to admit that I often have really great intentions and then fall short when it comes to execution. But here’s the deal . . . the biggest predictor of well-being and Continue Reading …
