NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

Seriously Nordstrom has the best sales!!! This one in particular is one of my most favorite because it gives you a chance to shop for an upcoming season for half the price! All of these items will go back to regular price, so make sure you snag what you want NOW! I will be posting a few more of my favorites throughout the week, but for now here are a few of my favorite things! (Cue The Sound of Music sound track!) Happy Shopping!

COLD SHOULDER

Crop tops have been our go to skin baring garment for a few seasons now, but now its all about the shoulders! From tops to dresses in prints and so many colors, shoulders are the hot new way to show off your sexy side with the simple use of clothing. IF you couldn’t tell already, I have been super obsessed with white and lace this season! Im pretty sure I went to LA for 7 days and wore white 6 out of the 7 days I traveled there. It makes me feel tan (BONUS!!), fresh and simple! I don’t always dress simple, but all white gives me a totally different feel on my style and an overall outfit! Try out this trend by pairing your tops with high waisted shorts, skirts or a flared jean. I have a few dresses too, which are great for shopping and such an easy transition piece into a sexy nighttime date night outfit.

VENICE BEACH

Two weeks ago I traveled to LA to be with a few clients I styled for the Magic Mike XXL Premiere! Not a bad little gig! Hellllooooo Channing Tatum!

While I was there I linked up with a photographer friend,  Jessica Castro that I worked with a few years ago on a magazine editorial and am obsessed with her work. The palm trees in Los Angeles really know how to put a smile on my face and the vibe at Venice Beach is one you will never forget, soooo it was a no brainer I wanted to shoot there!

I was so happy to partner up with Caro Marketing, Zac Zac Posen and dRA Clothing again to create a few super cute looks for the Summer!

Hope you enjoy! Don’t forget to scroll all the way to the bottom to shop my look with the links I provided!

I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE CANDY SHOP

On one of my everyday shopping trips to Bloomingdale’s I came across this dress by BCBG and had to have it! I love how fun and flirty it is and thought it would be great for a wedding, baby shower, vacation or a girls night out! I paired it with shoes I scored from Zara a few years back and one of my all time favorite cross body bags from Zac Zac Posen. I chose to keep the sunglasses simple to not over power the over all look! Don’t forget to scroll all the way down for links and photos on where to shop!
