Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale: Now Is The Time

Hello Friends!  It's a great day for sale shopping.  In fact, it's going to continue to be great for the next two weeks because Nordstrom started their Half-Yearly Sale today, which will run through June 4th!  During the sale, you can take up to 40% off on purchases across all categories. 

Here are a few dresses and jumpers I'm liking for work or play.  Click HERE if you are not able to see the below images.

 

In particular, I am loving everything DVF.  Last year Diane von Furstenberg hired a new creative director.  It's the first time in the history of her iconic brand that she's hired someone other than herself to be in charge across the board.  I could see the change in the designs while at the same time feeling these clothes are SOOOO good.  I'm always drawn to some fab pattern mixing, as witnessed in this outfit from one of my earlier days of fashion blogging.  I think I need to get back on it!

This short dress is, what do they say?  On fleek?

This long maxi is crying out for a garden party or backyard wedding. 

And finally, here's the fun design in a top. 

My Favorite DVF For Fall

I've long been a lover of Diane von Furstenberg and all her great fashion designs.  She is a designer, style icon and philanthropist.  Arguably most well known for her epochal wrap dress created in 1974, the dress went on to sooner after boast her notoriety to that of "the most marketable woman since Coco Chanel."  Interestingly, I did not own my first very own DVF wrap dress until last year!  Just like with all my fashion choices, I hold out for JUST the right one.  I went with the one pictured below because the pattern invigorates me and encourages me not to hide from success but to shine bright and be a super star!

I remember seeing one at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC the first time after Ms. Furstenberg relaunched her company in 1997 with the dress that started it all.  Shop my current (and SALE) DVF items below, and if you are unable to see the images, click on the title of the blog post to shop to your heart's content.
