Who’s Getting Excited?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost HERE!!!!!!  I just received my catalog in the mail (though I’ve been searching online for weeks for any clues or leaks!).  I’m not crazy about anything I saw in the catalog, but I am sure I will still find a ton of great stuff instore just like I do every year!  The sale starts July 10th for cardholders and July 18th for the general public.

My favorite departments to hit are Point of View and BP for clothes.  I also always check out handbags, shoes, lingerie and active.  Each year I’ve been shopping the sale, I’ve noticed that Nordstrom will put some showpiece type items that sell out immediately as well as some basics that come back year over year.

For me, the basics that I always like picking up are Natori, Chantelle and Calvin Klein bras, Shimera camis and Zella leggings.  In fact, I personally think the Zella leggings are the best deal of the sale.  They are so well priced to begin with (especially when you compare the quality to other brands like Lululemon) they are just such a great deal on sale.

I picked up my first pair of AGL flats at the sale last year and oh my gosh… they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever worn.  From the very first wear, they were comfortable and have never caused me to have pain.  Even though they are pricey, are 100% worth it.

I have already cleared my schedule to shop Early Access which starts July 10th.  I can’t wait… can you?  What will you be shopping for? 🙂

The 2014 REI Anniversary Sale Is Here!

The 2014 REI Anniversary Sale starts today!  This is a great time to pick up camping, hiking, biking and outdoor gear.  REI sells top quality merchandise and they have an unbelievable return policy.  They want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase so they only sell great stuff and you have 1 year to return or exchange anything.

We recently purchased a bike for my husband so we’ll be picking up some cycling accessories that he will need like innertubes, a patch kit, a bike bag and tools.

REI members also save 20% off any regular priced item (I believe it excludes bicycles & some electronics) at the full line store as well as in the outlet.  Membership is only $20 and is lifetime.  I think it is well worth it since they run lots of member only specials throughout the year.

Attilio Giusti Leombruni AGL on sale at Nordstrom

My favorite pair of flats is on sale at Nordstrom right now.  They are insanely expensive but they are worth every penny because they are so so comfortable.  I have never actually owned a pair of shoes that was this comfy right out of the box!

They are by Attilio Giusti Leombruni (also known as AGL) and they are beautiful Italian made leather shoes.

Right now only the nude color is on sale for 33% off which makes them $199.  I own the black and I’m tempted to pick up the nude as well because they are THAT amazing!  Since these are a regularly stocked style, every size seems to be in stock at the moment.  This is great for people with tiny feet like me–I wear size 4.5 which is hard to find!

Bloomingdales is also having their Friends & Family sale which makes everything 20% off site and store wide.  Now is a great time to pick up stuff that doesn’t normally go on sale!  Use code FF14 online.

Kate Spade Surprise Sale — Lots of baby bags to choose from!

Kate Spade is having a surprise sale and there are lots of baby bags to choose from!

My favorite is the Stevie in the print called Sew Be It.  On sale for $139, this is 65% off the original price.

Kate Spade Stevie Diaper Bag Surprise Sale – Sporty Nylon and Southport Avenue Mariner

I’ve never seen the Stevie in anything other than nylon and jacquard fabrics so that Southport Avenue Mariner looks interesting since it looks like it is a bit shiny and can be wiped clean. It is listed as pebbled cowhide.

The interior of the Sporty Nylon looks a little different than my Stevie as well.  There is a strap on the back pocket and the two interior side pockets have a string to make it tighter. I like that improvement!

Personally, I desperately want these wedges but alas they are out of my size!
