Best NSale Home Items to Snag for Gifts + $400 Giveaway

I’m back with another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post but this time, we’re talking about the best NSale home items that you can purchase now and add to your gift closet!  I don’t know about everyone else, but the thought of buying all of my Christmas gifts in November & December makes me cringe.  More importantly, it’s ROUGH on my wallet.  The past few years I’ve kept a list of everyone I shop for on my phone and throughout the year I’ll purchase items when they’re on sale.  I also try and keep a Rubbermaid tote filled with small gifts for those occasions when I forget to look ahead.

Come On Weekend: Summer Shopping & Life Update

Y’all, I’m so excited for it to be Friday mostly because I’ve been looking forward to hitting publish on a life update.  I’ve been in a funk for awhile and finally just gave myself some much needed time to reset.  Extending that little bit of grace to myself has really allowed me to get in some self reflection but also to feel recharged and EXCITED about blogging.  Keep reading for the reason I’m saying ‘come on weekend,’ as well as a fun tea {or wine — no judgement zone hurr!} chat.

Best Budget Friendly Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks for Your Closet | What Should I Shop For?

It’s still super warm in Kentucky so I usually find myself looking for pieces I can wear now and into fall.  Lots of people like to use this as an opportunity to get a head start on their fall shopping; Nordstrom introduces this brand new inventory at a sale start and at the end of the sale it goes back to full price.  Items will move quickly so if you see something you like, snag it and remember that Nordstrom offers free shipping AND free returns.
