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.

Happy Shopping

Summer Sale Round Up: Shoes

My favourite – shoes.  I hate paying full price for shoes, probably because there is never a point in time when I actually NEED shoes.  So when I wait for a sale, its way easier to justify another pair.

So I have scoured the internet, literally I spent hours, looking for the cutest styles at the best prices to share.  Most are close to 50% off.  How can you say no?  It has taken alot of willpower to not fill my own shopping carts.  Well except for three pairs.

So here they are – some of my favourite pairs – ALL on sale.

  1. Gingham Strappy Sandal.  DSW | $30 | You can’t beat this price.  This would be the perfect shoe to lighten up a little black dress.
  2. Cap Toe Ivory Pumps.  Town Shoes | $130 |These are a little more of a splurge but they are classic and can be worn year round.  LOVE these.  I have an identical pair from Zara and I wear them with everything – skinny black pants,  distressed denim,  leather shorts.  And the low block heel makes them super comfortable.
  3. Rebecca Minkoff Studded Slingback.  Town Shoes | $115 | These would be the perfect work shoe.  Fashionable, classic and comfortable.
  4. Vince Camuto Studded Leather Pumps.  The Bay | $150 | Love the ankle detail on these.
  5. Sam Edelman Black and White Striped Mules.  The Bay | $90 | These would be a great shoe for an all black look. SOLD OUT.  SORRY.
  6. Floral Embellished Pumps.  Town Shoes | $77 | A stunning special occasion shoe.  If I had seen these 10 years ago, they definitely would have been my wedding shoes.  Beautiful detail.
  7. Grey Espadrille Wedge.  DSW | $62 |  These come in black, but the grey is so nice for Summer and would work into Fall.
  8. Vince Camuto Strappy Multi Colour Sandals. The Bay | $117 |  Also great for a special occasion, love the colours and tassel ties.
  9. Calvin Klein Nude Embellished Mules.  The Bay | $105 | A great neutral shoe for summer.  Perfect for the office.
  10. Floral Pumps.  Aldo | $35 | I had to get these.  They are such a cute substitute for a nude shoe because a light floral pattern like this goes with pretty much everything.  They would look so good with stripes or a pair of girlfriends jeans.
  11. Sam Edelman Ankle Strap Sandals.  Town Shoes | $103 |  These come in black too but the pink…….love the pink.  The different shades of pink work so well together.
  12. Rebecca Minkoff Gold Bow Mules. Town Shoes | $100 |  Metallic is another great neutral, these are so easy to dress up or down.
  13. 1 State Black Leather Wedge Mules.  Town Shoes | $90 | The shape of these shoes is so classic yet so so right now.

  16. Karl Lagerfeld Metallic Ruffle Mules.  The Bay | $63 | I ordered these too, I had been eyeing them for a few months so I think it was meant to be…..
  17. 1 State Studded White Loafers.  Town Shoes | $95 | I love a white shoe, this loafer would be great with an all black work  outfit and also with distressed denim for a more casual look.
  18. Sam Edelman Studded Leather Slides. The Bay | $87 | The perfect weekend shoe to wear with you denim cut offs and would look cute with a maxi dress.
  19. Lucky Brand Camo Mules.  Nordstrom | $65 | I love all things camo.  I just do.
  20. Blue Gingham Double Bow Slides.  The Bay | $60 ” The blue gingham pattern is so cute on these.  And the bows.  So feminine.  Love.

I took a peak at some of the new arrivals at Aldo this morning because they are having a BOGO 40% off sale on footwear.  And they have some really cute stuff – great casual everyday flats and some really nice heels.  As always shipping and returns are free (if you spend $70).  Here are my favs.

1. Fuschia/Orange Pump with See Through Side Panel. 

I love these two colours together.  They look great as a pop of colour with a neutral outfit or go bold and pair them with a bright blue or yellow.

Spring’s Cutest Mules Under $100

mules under $100 blog

I was apprehensive about the mule trend at first.  It took me a while to get on board.  But now mules are my go-to shoe and not because I need or want to be “on trend” but because I finally realized how practical a slip on shoe is.  I wish I figured this out last summer when I was 9 months pregnant.  Anyhow, I have become slightly obsessed with mules so I am sharing some of my fav mules under $100.

First I will share some casual options and then a few that are more office appropriate.

Shoe Diaries: Red Flats

I have never been a big fan of flats but as my feet age and my kids become faster I have started to seek out some comfortable, yet stylish, flats.  And when I saw these red flats at Winners I knew they would be a perfect addition to my new, more practical shoe wardrobe.  Sure they were only $49, but thats not what sold me.  They are super comfortable, I love the pointed toe and they are that perfect shade of candy apple red.

I got these at Winners and you all know what that means – sorry.  But I found a similar pair at TopShop (only $58).

As I add to my shoe collection, my goal is to pick shoes that will work with the majority of my daily wardrobe. And the red flats do not disappoint, they are super versatile, not to mention a classic.  I have included a few styling options below to show how versatile they really are.

Shoe Diaries: Pearly Flat Mules

I love shoes.  Like really love them.  Before babies I wore heels all the time.  I would suffer for a great pair of heels.  My poor feet.  Now that I am carrying a baby on my hip and chasing a two year old round, I have come to terms with the fact that I need something more sensible.  So its been fun, albeit challenging,  to find a new shoe wardrobe that marries comfort (or at least more comfortable than a 4 inch pair of heels) and fashion.

And I know I am not alone in this challenge so every week I am going to share a pair of shoes that are both fashionable and functional and a few ways to style them.  This first week I am going to share a pair that I ordered from Zara last week.  And they were only $40.
