Tops & Sweaters

         Dresses

          Outerwear

The #NSale is here!! Although, I have to say i'm not too excited to see sweaters and coats. But hey, you can get them for a great deal so i'm all for that. There's some cute stuff, so much so that I decided to break this sale guide in two parts. So today it's all about the dresses, tops/sweaters, and outerwear. 

I could do a whole post on outerwear to be honest. I tell people all the time to never buy an outerwear item that just came out or that's full price. Because 90% of the time you can find a great deal somewhere. The time to shop for a coat would be the end of March-August. I know, you don't want to buy a winter item in the spring or summer time, trust me i'm right there with you girl, but I bought my favorite coat in the off season. It took a few months to wear it but boy was I thanking the friend who told me to just bite the bullet and buy it. So to sum up this paragraph, buy the outerwear before the sweaters. 

Two items I would highly recommend buying would be a shirtdress and a Henley top. They are the easiest things to layer.

If you are a cardholder with Nordstrom then you can shop the sale right now (which I highly recommend, just sayin'(; ), but if not then no worries because you only have three more days until the sale is open to everyone.

Thanks for reading and stay turned for the second part of this awesome sale! xo

Lookout: On Trend

dress//sunglasses//sandals//bracelets//necklace//clutch

The biggest trend to keep an eye on this spring/summer is this look:

White, flowy dresses (usually midi or maxi)

Gold or jeweled sandals (pineapples too)

 These Prada sunnies

 Bright, colorful clutches with tons of detail

 Last but definitely not least tassels (Seriously. I NEED this in my life!)!!

Everything I linked above is under $50! Who says you can't achieve the look without emptying your bank account?  

So I kind of have a funny story from a lesson I learned this week, and that is, don't buy shoes online. In the past I have had no problem ordering shoes online but this time it was a major fail! I ordered two pairs of shoes in the same size from the same store. Well one came in and they were too small. A few days later the next pair came in and they were too big. Needless to say, my weekend will involve going to exchange shoes and probably a strange look from the employee helping me, haha!

Thanks for reading, y'all! xo

 Hi, my name is Catharine... and I am a Kate Spade-aholic. I just can't help it y'all. Anyway, now is the time to knock out all of your holiday shopping because everything is going to go by fastttt. Especially if you want anything monogrammed because there are usually dates you can't order after to get the gift by Christmas.
