*MUST HAVES*
Scroll below to see my top must have items from the sale!
This is one of my favorite looks from the Nsale! So easy, comfy, classic and chic! I give every item 10 stars! The over the knee boots have a stretchy material that makes them possible for every leg size and they stay up great! I actually own these in colors and have had them for two years! Also, if anyone tries to tell you that you do not need these faux leather leggings- THEY ARE LYING TO YOU!!!! Save yourself…. get some! They are flattering on EVERYONE.. and they aren’t like the leather you are thinking of…. you won’t have a Ross Geller situation, locked in a bathroom, covered in baby powder and lotion. I promise. They are soft on the inside, comfy, and look alike leather on the outside! Next- this sweater is adorable! I really do love everything about it.. and so do y’all.. my DM’s BLEEEW up lol! I am just very weird about things touching my neck.. LOL. Weird, I know… but other than that… 10 stars!
The flats above need a whole other paragraph to their own! They are HANDS DOWN my number 1 favorite item from the sale. Without question. I walked out of my office and Jake said, “OOO wow, I like those shoes on you A LOT!”… boy approved!! They are so comfy, its like walking on a pillow. AND they are stupid cute!! The gold detailing is done just right, and they are just all around the perfect everyday flat!
- Boots- I sized up a half size to a 7! That way its easier to wear socks!
- Flats- I sized up a half size to the 7
- Leggings- I am wearing a XS but ordered another pair in a small for a little more tummy room! Gotta fit the tacos somewhere!
- Top- True to size, I’m in a XS!
This top is a FAVORITE!!! I am actually ordering more colors! It is THAT good!! It is slouchy, light weight, very flattering, and I love the fabric material! I am wearing the cream and the orchid! Also in the top 5!
- Top- in a XS but could easily do a small for more room
- Boots- sized up a half size to a 7!
- Leggings- Sizing up to a small for more room
I really cannot say enough good things about this outfit! So easy, cute, and casual! I have this leather jacket in two colors, and have for two years- and without a doubt, worth every penny!! Also, these shoes are Dr.Shulls… UHM SO COMFY!! And they don’t look like nursing home shoes?? SCORE!!
- Jacket- true to size, I’m in a XS (I am wearing the mushroom color- and I have the black)
- Leggings- sized up to a small
- Shoes- 100% size up a half size! I am returning for a 7 (I am wearing the grey)
- Top- True to size, I’m in a XS
I clearly love leggings! lol!! So, two things! These live in leggings are a MUST! I wear these as actual workout leggings, all the way to dressing them up with over the knee boots for a night out on the town! They are NOT see through what so ever, they are thick, but not hot, and are all around perfect! They are a little long on me, but I cuff them under at the bottom and you cannot even tell! (I will show you guys a video tutorial on insta)! Next, these shoes! If you buy one pair of legit tennis shoes, it needs to be these! They are VERY comfy, light weight, well made, and go with everything!
Also, this top is super light weight and the perfect length to cover your booty in leggings! Next are the shorts- they are my favorite workout shorts I have ever owned, and I am actually going to order all of the colors offered! Lastly, this raincoat/windbreaker… it is amazing! It is really light weight, very flattering (unlike most rain coats) and has a built in hood that hides in the collar! SO worth the money!!!
- Top- I sized up to a medium for the baggy fit (I could have done a small too)
- Tennis shoes- true to size (6.5)
- Nike shorts- True to size (XS)
- Zella leggings- true to size (XS)
- Rain coat- true to size (XS)
All the heart eyes for this outfit! I am sure most of y’all have seen me in my busted knee jeans before.. I have them in like every color. lol! Naturally I had to get light wash as well! Clearly I love them, since I have so many! Next, are these slides! I got them in the mustard shown above, black, and the snake print! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Very comfy, don’t slip off your feet, and can go with SO many outfits! Jake actually suggested I go back and get the last two colors.. lol! Maybe he should take up blogging? Prob not.. lol. // Next, this tunic! Omg this tunic has been all the rage this year so I had to see what I was missing…. and I was missing out! I love it!! Super light weight, soft, flattering, and can be paired with so much! Lastly, this cardigan… boy oh boy…. I don’t even think this will be in stock for you guys… it sold out in like an hour in early access, and hasn’t come back sense. Reason being, its amaze. Very soft, versatile perfect for Fall/Winter!
- Shoes- sized up to a 7
- Jeans- True to size, if anything, size up! I am in a 24 and could do a 25 as well
- Top- true to size (XS)
- Cardigan- true to size (US2)
These two tops are a little out of my normal comfort zone, lol! But, I love them!! I feel like they cover enough, but are still cute/sexy for a night going out! I will say that I gravitate to the one on the right the most! It is so flattering with the wrap line and hits perfect on my hips! It also comes in tons of colors!! As for the one on the left, I do love it, but I think I would love it more if I sized up one, and… well… went out to places to wear it. We rarely hit up bars/clubs, or any place fun.. soooo.. lol! But, I think it is a great find, very flattering, and I give them both 10 stars! As for the middle picture, I just threw my black leather jacket on to show you guys an example of the black! It is the same jacket as the one I show earlier in the post!
- Left grey top- Technically TTS, I am in a XS, but I would have felt more comfortable in a small!
- Leather jacket- True to size (XS)
- Right purple top- True to size (XXS)
- Leather leggings- True to size but I am sizing up for a small for a little more room
- Over the knee boots- I sized up a half size to a 7
Love this outfit! I will say that I am returning the booties and cardigan- only because I have too many of each! lol! But, I love the tank, and the jeans- and will just be ordering the tank in a smaller size! The jeans are perfect and are super flattering will lots of stretch to them! Like the comfy stretch, not the kind that gets baggy during the day! For the cardigan, I love the large buttons, the pockets, and the fact that it isn’t itchy! Its a really pretty grey that goes well with everything! As for the booties, I got them in black and brown and love the look/feel of them.. like I said, I just have too many pairs already! They are comfortable and have good height and I love the little front dip that shows off some ankle skin!
- Tank- Size down 1 (I’m in a XS and it is a little big in the front
- Cardigan- True to size (XXS)
- Jeans- Runs one size small (26Wx30L- which fits like a 25)
- Booties- I sized up a half size because the 6.5 was a little tight without socks on, with socks it would be too tight!
So, listen up… these two shirts are cute… you have seen them on 100+ bloggers pages! They are soft, good quality, and a good basic! Now, I will be returning mine. I have so many basics and these are pretty plane jane, and not worth me keeping. Also, the booties on the left are super cute, fit great, and good quality.. but I don’t often wear that low of ankle booties, especially for the price.. just not my thing! So, I will be returning those as well! Now, the conversation on the right are SO GOOD!! So comfy, go with so much, and will certainly be staying in my closet!!
- Ankle booties- True to size (6.5)
- Left top- True to size (XS)
- Right top- True to size (XS)
- Jeans- Same as above
- Right shoes- True to size (6.5)
The rest of this outfit is reviewed above BUT these shoes are not, and they are AMAZING!! I have worn them four times since buying them last week and could not love them more! I know everyone stays clear of sneaker wedges, but don’t knock them till you try them! They are the perfect amount of height!
- Shoes- True to size (6.5)

DATES TO REMEMBER:
- The sale starts on July 11th if you are a level 4 card member (meaning, you have a Nordstrom card)
- The EARLY access IS FROM JULY 12th-19th- THIS IS ONLY IF YOU HAVE A NORDSTROM CREDIT CARD
- If you do not have a Nordstrom card, the sale will be open to you on JULY 20th-AUGUST 5th
What is this sale & why is it so important?
So, this has been one of my most asked questions! This sale is a HUGE sale. All the items that launch during the sale are all BRAND NEW items- never before seen, all new fall items!! Yes, this includes everything from BP, all the way to Tory Burch, and every designer brand you can think of! All of these new releases will be majorly discounted- some of them are up to 50-60% off! Like guys, I am talking TONS of things! Every category you can imagine.
Why is it important to get the Nordstrom Card?
I want to start this by saying, IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM DO I GET CREDIT FOR YOU GETTING THE NORDSTROM CARD. Nordstrom doesn’t even know who the heck I am- lol.. but, seriously! ALSO- you do NOT have to actually use the credit card during the sale!!! You only have to have the card number- you are allowed to purchase items on any card you would like!!! *YOU NEVER HAVE TO PUT A DIME ON YOUR NORDSTROM CREDIT CARD*
I personally have it, and I am SO happy I got it. I got it a day before the sale last year and had all the praise hands that I did because things were gone in seconds! Literally, seconds. As soon as early access drops, things go flying. I would put items in my cart, and they would be gone before I could even add another thing to my cart. So, you can imagine, if you DIDNT have the card, you would have to wait a whole week after the launch to shop, and there are few sizes left of anything and most things are already sold out!

Things I purchased last year?
Last year I got SO many good items! Nike shoes, a leather jacket, two pairs of Steve Madden boots for Fall, sandals, thermal tops, makeup, leggings for Fall- and SO much more! Jake even shopped it and got all of his clothes for Fall too! Y’all know I don’t often shop at Nordstrom, and its because I usually can’t pay the price tag… this sale is SO good because it allows us girls to spoil ourselves on all the nice things, without the cost!
How do I give Katy credit for all her finds???
All of you girls are my biggest supporters and realize how much time and effort I put into these kinds of things and it MEANS THE WORLD when you guys use my direct links. That is what allows me to keep going and keeps Living My Best Style going! For girls that don’t know, I make a very very small commission off of the links you guys use. It does not cost you guys anything extra- its just the company way of saying ‘thank you’ to me, for sending girls their way! I also want to say that, everything I recommend or get for myself, is ALL stuff that I personally purchase with my own money are genuinely love! NOTHING is a ‘ad’ or a ‘kickback’ from a company! All the links I give to y’all, are items I truly love and spend my own money on! So, to make sure you use my links, you just have to click on the item, and stay on that retailers webpage until you complete the checkout process. You can shop around all you want, and get as many things as you want, but you just have to stay on their site until you checkout! That way the link can track back to me, and Nordstrom can see who sent ya! (:
Alrighty, the sale is coming quick!! I will see you ladies on July 12th!!
XOXOXOX
