After this last month, which I previously mentioned has felt like a zombie apocalypse year, I was so thrilled to learn that in fact I did remember how to be a parent after getting my children back upon having not seen them for approximately two weeks. (Time away followed by the Rona Quarantine).
I was equally delighted to learn that I am indeed capable of functioning as a business professional and a contributing member of society. It’s Friday. Here’s hoping I can get through one more day to top off an entire week of getting out of bed, and slaying dragons. I mean getting the kids to school, answering emails and making it to appointments on time.
I call this Veronica Beard jacket my superpower blazer. Everytime I put it on, I feel super powers come over me! PS— no children were harmed in the making of these photos, just threatened mildly. Just kidding. Well, kind of, sort of, but not really. Just lovingly fussed at. Know the there’s no school for four days in a row, despite no snow or ice anywhere to be found feeling? Yea, that’s the one. WHERE I COME FROM THEY BROKE OUT THE CHAINS FOR THE BUS TIRES TO GET US TO AND FROM SCHOOL IN THE SNOW.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Bags + The Veronica Beard Jacket + Coach
Check out my picks for the best bags included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. But you gotta hurry! I can't believe how fast things are selling with some items only available in certain sizes, and I have already seen some items sold out! A client message me last night to say how bummed she was to have missed the boat on the awesome new Veronica Beard jacket with detachable hoodie! If you loved it just as much, though not included in the sale, HERE is a full run of these new jackets that are all the rage for Fall.
This one with the detachable camo hoodie dickie is pretty clever.
But I gotta say this black blazer on sale for $209 down from $695 makes a case to be in classic girl's wardrobe.
This trench vest is fiercely chic.
Back to the bags now! If you follow me on Instagram you know I am very excited about the Coach brands return to a narrower focus on perfecting their product. With a new designer at the helm, Stuart Vevers is giving Coach a more than cool new spin. The quality and the details are on point. They are putting out some pretty fashion forward ready to wear pieces for women and now men, which you can check out HERE.
There is ONE Coach bag included in the Nordstrom sale. It is small, but if small is what you need, I LOVE it. If you can't see all of the bags below, click HERE. I also really like the All Saints Tote included in the sale. Vanessa Hudgens is a fan too.
I love the Ted Baker Union Jack clutch. What a fun way to inject some color and Brit love into your wardrobe. Queen E did just turn 90 after all!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Shop The Fall Trends
It is TIME to shop the biggest sale of the year friends, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Running July 22 through August 7th, Early Access for Nordstrom cardholders starts on July 14th. If you are not a cardholder and would like to become one in order to take advantage of these savings, HERE is how you can do that.
After keeping up on line with items as I scout the hottest fall trends for some upcoming magazine projects, I hopped on into the SouthPark store today to take a look into those dramatic gauze tents. I hopped over to the Customer Service Desk to make a return for a client, and I kid you not there was a WALL of shopping bags and boxes for customers... purchases made on line, and their items would be ready for them when they arrived. I LOVE great customer service, efficiency and convenience! But what do I love most? These that I ordered!! Not sure I can say I loved the 80's fashion (no way no how never), but I DO love me some metallic bling, like this Topshop foil brushed sweatshirt.
If you decide to go into the store, I highly recommend that you go early, because it is going to be a madhouse over the weekend. If you are an online shopper, I recommend you move quickly in purchasing your favorites. They are going to go fast, and sizes are limited in stores and selections. I love this Veronica Beard hooded jacket (a biggie trend for fall), but it is already not available in the exact color I was seeking. Not to worry, there are still some other great colors!
For this post I have included some of the big trends you can expect for Fall.... Ruffles, all over prints, bohemian style dresses, metallic, puffer style coats and more! Follow me on Instagram, as I will be posting my top picks here as well. Can't see the below clothing images? Click HERE.
