Happy Sunday everyone!  I am so excited because the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here!  This is a sale that I wait for with great anticipation because I know that I can get great deals on new stylish clothes and accessories for the upcoming season.  Sounds AMAZING, right?  Here's how it works: select items are discounted during the sale, but they  will go up to their regular price when the sale ends.  
            A few weeks ago, I picked up these five fall items from the sale.  Even though I plan on featuring these items later in the fall season, I wanted to show you the pieces I bought because if you love them like I do, you can head to a Nordstrom near you and pick them up (or order them online) before the prices go up.  Here's what I purchased from this amazing sale:


          My first purchase was this quilted faux leather jacket from the brand BLANKNYC (Savvy Department).  This jacket comes in two colors: chocolate brown (featured above) as well as black.  Although black is my favorite color (or should I say "shade"), I fell in love with the brown jacket because the brown color is so rich.  The metal zippers add a little toughness to the moto-styled jacket while the quilting on the sleeves adds a nice feminine touch.  I cannot wait to wear this jacket in the fall!  


          The second item I purchased was this faux feather jacket from the brand Leith (Savvy Department).  I fell in love with jacket as soon as I saw it.  I know I say that about a lot of the items I feature on my blog, but it is totally true because I only like to feature items that I genuinely love!  Anyways, you are sure to turn heads when you strut down the street in this eye-catching piece.  I love that the faux fur looks like feathers dancing on the jacket and I also love that it has two pockets, one on each side.  I know that this piece is not for everyone, but I certainly adore it!  


          The third item I purchased was this pink swing coat from the brand Chelsea28 (The t.b.d Department).  Two factors drew me to this piece: the beautiful color and the vintage style.  This photo truly doesn't capture the how stunning the color of this coat is.  To me, it's a little darker than a bubble gum pink, but in the picture it looks a lot lighter than it is.  When I spotted this coat, I instantly thought of the pink suit the First Lady Jackie Kennedy wore in 1963.  Of course it's not an exact match, but I love the fact that it has a vintage feel to it (and it has pockets!).


          The next item I purchased was this body-con lace dress from the brand ASTR (Savvy Department).  The high neck collar is so elegant and let me tell you, this dress fits like a glove.  It hugs me in all the right places, which makes my waist looks smaller (always a plus) and it's so comfortable because the lace is incredibly stretchy.  However, the reason why I am obsessed with it is the fact that you can switch out the black slip for any slip of your choice.  Personally, I like to layer the Free People seamless slips underneath this dress.  Out of all the items I purchased from the sale, this is by far my favorite!


          The last item I purchased was this feather necklace from the brand Leith (Savvy Department).  It's a statement necklace and it has feathers.  I consider that a win-win purchase!  Unfortunately, it is sold out online right now.  I am not sure if Nordstrom will bring back this necklace online, but hopefully you can still purchase one at a Nordstrom near you.    
         Well, that's all the items I purchased this year from the sale.  Just a heads-up, the Anniversary Sale ends August 4th, so be sure to shop online or in-store before then!  Also, stay tuned to future blog posts where I show you how I style these pieces.  Sending you lots of love from my heart to yours!
