Happy Friday, friends, and welcome to the weekend! We’re in full-on back to school mode over here… Little Miss starts her sophomore year next week (#holdme), and Mr. College is moving into a house with some fraternity brothers for his junior year. How did this happen?!
In other news, this marks the final week of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. After Sunday, the prices will go to full-price, so if you’ve had your eye on something, now is your last chance to grab it on sale.
I use it mostly as the chance to stock up on my go-to products, and replace my tired closet staples. Today I’m sharing the pieces I actually shopped and took home with me! You’ll recognize many from my Sugarplum Faves list, but a few were fun, new finds.
No surprise here, but I grabbed two more of my favorite throws for the lakehouse! They are insanely soft, with the cutest tassel trim. It comes in a ton of colors, launders well, and is a great price during the NSale. (They make perfect gifts, too!) There is even an “oversized” option included this year.

Every NSale, I refresh my favorite scoopneck pocket tee in white, black, and gray while it’s on sale. I wear the heck out of these babies!
I also hit the jackpot with a new pair of jeans! I love this high-waisted mom jean with a soft finish, relaxed through the leg, and raw hem. And if you’re looking for stylish street sneakers, this pair is truly the most comfortable I’ve ever tried on.

Another denim option I love, especially the ankle slit for a little kick. They are super soft and stretchy, with a hidden waist-slimming panel. These loafers were a surprise find as well! Lot’s of support and cushion, and classic style.

I couldn’t resist a new color of the Barefoot Dreams Circle Cardigan! It’s the coziest, most luxurious hug every time I put it on. It also makes the absolute best gift!

Mama SP and I both loved the long version too!

Nordstrom really knocked it out of the park in the shoe department this year! I didn’t even have these chain mules on my radar at the beginning on the sale, but you better believe I took a pair home with me! Plus, these sneakers and booties.
Clockwise from Tory Burch: Thong Sandals | Chain Mules | Loafers | Chain Mules | Swift Run Sneakers | Sneakers | Block Heel Booties
These booties have been a best-seller, and for good reason! The block heel keeps them comfortable, and easy to walk. You’ll see me in this tee + jeans or tee + sneakers on repeat this Fall.

Besides shoes, beauty was my other favorite department in the Nsale. I stocked up on several favorites I use and reach for daily. I was thrilled to see that my and Mama SP’s favorite foundation, IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream, is included!
Supergoop! Mist Sunscreen | Kiehl’s Hand Salve | IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream | Anastasia Beverly Hills EyeBrow Bae-sics Kit | Dry Bar Dry Shampoo | Neulash Serum
I always get so many questions about our luggage when we travel, and how we’re able to pack for 7+ days in just a carry-on! Part of the answer is the suitcase! It is strong and sturdy, spins 360 degrees, and has all the right pockets and straps inside to help you pack smart.
I added this black carry-on to our CalPak Collection while it’s on sale. Now everyone in the family is ready to go!
This art is actually a find from last year, and one of my favorite hidden gems of the NSale! So many great canvas pieces, most fully framed! You can find more pieces from this brand HERE.
I couldn’t let this year’s NSale go by without getting Mama SP’s faves for you guys! Here are her top picks… some tried and true pieces, and a few new things she added this year.
These boyfriend jeans have been her go-to for years, and she grabs a new set of these pajamas every year. She also swears by this bra for comfort, shape and support. It lies smooth under clothes, too.
She discovered this brow serum last year, and can hardly believe the difference…so she stocked up on more while it’s on sale.

How do the Ecco shoes fit? I usually wear an 8.5 and am not sure if I should do the 8-8.5 or go up a size. Thank you! Great selections as always!
Hi Catherine! Those sneakers are true to size for me!! xo, C
That was me too. I am normally a 6.5, but in boots and workout shoes I would get a 7.0 I got the 7to 7.5 and it worked good more me. They are incredibly comfy!
Thank you for the tip, Allison!!
Luvin’ those loafers in Cedar and Black. And the framed art/beach scene I found in a jigsaw puzzle for when the kid comes home!
How do I put this nicely? May I suggest that you take some serious cleaning supplies w/you for move in w/Mr. College-show all those guys how it’s done, ha,ha! : ))
