Nordstrom Canada Anni Sale 2018

I know everybody and their sister is talking about the Nordtrom Anniversary Sale right now on social media so I thought I would share a slightly different take. Lets be honest, Nordstrom Canada does not have a great online shopping experience.  Mostly due to the  large fees  for shipping and customs/handling. But they do have some nice things and the Anniversary Sale is a great opportunity to invest in some Fall pieces at great prices.  But it requires heading to the actual store if you want a deal.

So these are few Nordstom Canada Sale picks that I actually found in store.  A couple things to note: 1) you can’t always find the things online in the stores in Canada and 2) the pricing online is often different in store.

I went to the Yorkdale store on early access day a couple days ago and here are some of the items I found. As you can see I was most excited by the shoes.  Although with an 11 month old in tow, I also didn’t have hours to browse the clothing section so its likely I may have passed over some nice things.  Either way its worth a trip to the store.

1. BP Motto Leggings.  $31.  I had been eyeing these leggings since last Winter so I was pleased to see they were part of the sale.  And I was even more pleased when I tried them on.  They fit awesome, similar to SPANX in terms of the rise, but not as much compression.  But still they do a great job at sucking it all in.  I would totally wear these postpartum. They are more olive green than the pic which makes then appear really brown.  They come in black too.

2. SPANX Faux Leather Leggings.  If you are in the market for some new faux leather leggings, the SPANX ones are awesome.  I got these last year at the Anni Sale and they were a lifesaver for me postpartum.  I forget the price I saw them at instore but I think they were less than $100.

3. Vince Camuto Slingbacks.  $120.  I also fell in love with these slingbacks.  They have such a cool retro feel.   I didn’t buy them because they were a little loose around the ankle on me for some reason but I have really narrow feet.

4. Louise Et Cie Leopard Bow Slides.  $120.  These mules were also so cute on.  I love the oversized bow.  If I had endless budget and more space in my shoe closet I would have brought these home as well.

5. Treasure And Bond White Studded Mules.  $99.  I can’t wait to wear these in the Fall with girlfriends jeans and a checked blazer.

6. Chuck Taylor Shoreline Sneakers.  $50.  Okay I totally didn’t need another pair of sneakers, but these were only $50 and the light blush colour is so cute.  So I had to. I didn’t see these online but they were in store.  No idea if they are still in store though.

7.  Vince Camuto Booties.  $145.  I came home with these booties.  Super comfortable  but now I am on the fence about whether to keep them or not.  I definitely need a pair brown booties BUT I have seen so many bloggers talk about these and I hate when I have the same stuff as everyone else.

Summer Sale Round Up: Jackets

Next up in the summer sale round up is jackets.  I love waiting for jackets to come on sale because they are typically a more expensive item.  And who doesn’t love a deal.  Most of these jackets are close to 50% off.  And while they may not be a go to for these hot summer days, thee jackets will be perfect for Fall layers (yes I went there, sorry) and also great for those chilly AC office environments.

And if you are looking for dresses, be sure to check out the summer dress sales here.

1.  Linen Coat With Shoulder Detail.  Zara | $60 | This one is over 50% off.

2.  Textured Pink Long Blazer.  Zara | $60 | Also over 50% off. This is so cute for the office.  It would look great with a pair of red pants.  Or denim if you want a more casual look.  I am not usually very into pink, but I love a pink jacket.

7.  Sidestripe Trench.  TopShop at The Bay | $81 | This modern take on the trench coat  has great side stripe detail on the sleeves.  SOLD OUT.  SORRY.

8.  Blush Asymmetric Oversized Blazer.  TopShop at The Bay | $66 | You can’t go wrong with blush, it goes with pretty much everything.

9. Rust Oversized Blazer.  Nordstrom | $60 | This is great colour too, sort of unexpected for  blazer.  And the fit on this is o perfect.

 

 

 

Summer Sale Round up: Dresses

It’s spring and summer sale time ladies.  There are so many beautiful pieces at great prices right now.

Over the next week I am going to round up all my fav sale pieces, including shoes, dresses, outerwear, accessories and more.  Basically all the things I wish were in my closet, at prices that I would be willing to pay.  But this girl only has so much closet space and a mat leave bank account.   I am going to start with dresses but check back daily as I will publish something new each day.  Or sign up for email below to be alerted when a new post is published.

All About Gingham. All under $100.

gingham header

I love gingham in black or navy.  It’s casual yet there is something about this print that makes it feel a little more structured and put together.

I have put together some of my favourite gingham looks together, mostly dresses, and mostly from Nordstrom because its the half year sale.  Which means most of these are 40-50% off until June 3.  If you haven’t shopped Nordstrom before, they do have an excellent return policy.  The only downfall is that shipping isn’t free from Canada but at these prices, I don’t mind paying a few extra dollars to shop.  Or you can call your local store to see if they have it in stock and have them set it aside for you to pick up.

1. Mixed Print Dress.  Nordstrom.

The back detail is so cute. Although probably not a great dress if you are busty.  The sale price is only $40.
