I'm going to the land of mormons and mountains: Salt Lake City! I'm attending the Outdoor Market aka The Market for Carabiners (just had to google the spelling), Backpacks, and Bearded Man Goods. I'll let you know how that goes. See you back here Monday!

A Very Brief Hiatus
I'm going to the land of mormons and mountains: Salt Lake City! I'm attending the Outdoor Market aka The Market for Carabiners (just had to google the spelling), Backpacks, and Bearded Man Goods. I'll let you know how that goes. See you back here Monday!
Nordstrom: The Sale to End All Sales
Sales are great because, obviously, you get things at a cheaper price. But the only reason something goes on sale is for one of three reasons:
1) It's on sale because it's ugly but due to the newly reduced price becomes significantly more attractive (hmm...sounds like a relationship analogy if I've ever heard one)
2) The buyer ordered too many
3) No one at the store has good enough taste to see what you see in it (this is the most rare, and special type of sale scenario. Very rare, might I add)
The only drawback with sales is that you're buying at the end of the season. Translation: it's only 1/3 as fun to buy a chunky, cable knit sweater in April.
However, there is a once in a lifetime sale happening at Nordstrom, celebrating their anniversary! All brand-spanking-new, not picked over, just released, hot off the ship from China, clothes are deeply discounted through Aug 5. After that, they go back to regular price. March your little self on over to their website, credit card ready to swipe, and start adding to that cart! Here's a sampling of their fall footsies!

Gild the Lily
Whoever came up with the phrase, "Gild the lily," was obviously a boring person. Life is double fun with gold and glitter. And it's triple fun when you combine them. Summer is hot, and there's something about uninhibited metallics that feels right. Here are some of my favorite goldies!
Side note: if you're not a head-to-toe Goldilocks, then pair one of these with a pressed white oxford and some great jeans. It'll add just the right amount of spice.
Glitter shadow: get it here. |
Who doesn't want a polish named "Gold Fingers?" |
