Tips for Shopping The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

By
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Image

Hey there! Happy July! It is THAT time of year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is coming up! I am so glad I have something to look forward to in July.  Having an extensive retail background, July was always a dreadful month for me.  It was a time that everything for spring and summer was on sale and fall inventory was coming in.  The problem was and is that no one wants fall items because it’s 100 plus degrees outside!  I should also mention that sale time in July brings a totally different customer than you are used to the rest of the year.  All this made me look forward to July being over. Now it is a different story.  From a retail business…

Goldne Goose Sneakers in a Flat lay With the beautiful packaging it came in

I know the average person can not afford a designer bag or shoes.  I am one of those people.  I also have a hard time with the amount of money women’s clothing retails for; which comes from my many years of retail experience.  I know how much mark-up is applied to merchandise and it is astounding!  Since I have been out of the retail world it has been very hard to purchase things at full price. I will purchase at full price; I just really have to love the item and think it’s worth the price. My favorite item I have splurged on are my Golden Goose Deluxe Sneakers. These sneakers have been on my want list for a few years now! Everytime I would…

The Maxi Dress: A Summer Staple

Hey there! Have you ever shopped for something for so long and just when you are about to give up you find it? Your aggravation turned into excitement instantly!  That was me with trying to find a maxi dress that fit into my casual lifestyle.  I wanted a maxi dress that was cotton, casual, comfortable and had a really cute fit.  I should also mention that my hunt lasted a year!  I found a dress last year at J Crew that I wanted so badly and it sold out before I ever saw it.  Lo and behold the same dress came back in stock this year and was 40% off! I immediately purchased it online and it was soooo perfect! I recently took a trip…

Hey y’all! I hope you are having a good start to February! January felt like it would never end!  Wouldn’t you agree?  I have a couple of exciting things to tell you about this February and one of those things is my new eyeglasses.  Unfortunately I am getting older and need glasses to help me see close up.  I tried a company called Liingo Eyewear to see what ordering a pair of glasses online would be like. They gifted me these glasses that are super cute and keep me seeing very well! For just a little background about me in case you didn’t already know.  I spent a little over 2 years selling glasses and I became a certified Optician during that time.  So, needless…
