I am wearing Brown Spice in XS, but XXS would be a better fit.

The Only Suede Pump You Need!

I love the trend of block heels, not only because they look good, but because they add comfort to the height. Nordstrom has my favorite Sam Edelman Stillson Pumps (suede) marked down to $83.96 (reg. $119.95)! Very comfortable (for a heel)!

The Best Fall Basics…

Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post. As always, all views are my own.

Good morning! It has been HOT here – it honestly feels more like the peak of summer than the start of fall… I was even in the pool yesterday. As I was laying on my raft dealing with the warm temperatures, crunchy brown leaves were falling on me. Nature seemed to be infusing my autumn dreams with reality. After all, fall’s official birthday is TODAY!

As the season transitions, even if only minorly depending on where you live, a shift in the wardrobe is always exciting. Every fall, I try to pick up a few really good basics from Nordstrom – simple pieces that can be mixed in different ways and that will last the entire fall and winter season. These must-haves won’t fail to put a pep in your step over and over again!

MY TOP PICK– I first discovered how amazing this BP. top was last year after purchasing it in ivory and wearing it more than any other piece in my closet. The sleeves taper in a way that is flattering and distinctively different than your average mock turtleneck. It also washes and dries excellent, which is key! Nordstrom brought it back this year in four new colors, and I love the warm tone of ‘brown chino’ and ‘green forest’!

Your feet will love these booties — The ankle height is great for skinny jeans or dresses, and they match almost any outfit.

Hair clips… they’re back!

This Chelsea28 Cross Front Blouse gives the front tuck look without actually being tucked in. It drapes beautifully and can be dressed up or down!

BP. plaid shirts run large, so make sure to size down one or two. I am wearing XS in the picture, but I exchanged it for XXS. Once you find the right size, you’ll feel instantly ready to pick out a prize-winning pumpkin.

Puff sleeves give this basic Treasure & Bond top some added flare!

Nordstrom has soooo many cute mule and slide shoes (I’ll link a few down below). You can shop them all here!

Don’t forget Mule Socks for when it gets chilly.

If a cardigan or top needs a tank, this is the one I wear. I even have it under the Chelsea28 Cross Front Blouse pictured above.

I’m a fan of anything that makes life a little easier, and Nordstrom is one of those stores where the customer experience is effortless. Their free shipping and free returns make wardrobe updates fun. More importantly, they carry amazing brands you won’t find anywhere else as well as exclusive styles from top brands (any price range and any stage in life!). I also rely on Nordstrom every year for my Christmas shopping… has that holiday crossed your mind yet? Okay, Okay!

You can check out Nordstrom’s newest fall items here. There are so many good pieces!

Sizing: Everything pictured runs true to size unless noted otherwise. I am wearing XS in all tops.

Trader Joe’s: The Best Of The Best Seasonal Items!

There’s no doubt that you will soon begin to think about your Halloween costume with matching witchy nails, but before diving deep into October’s signature holiday, you’ve got to make a stop at Trader Joe’s! The shelves have been stocked with Apple and Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING! I’ve rounded up some of my favorites…

  • Cornbread Crisps – Great with any cheese dip or as a snack on their own.
  • Pumpkin Cereal Bars
  • Frozen Pumpkin Waffles
  • Apple Smoked Fully Cooked Bacon– BLT sandwiches have never been easier.
  • Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix- Waffles for dinner is a family favorite. Top them with pumpkin butter for an extra bang.
  • Pumpkin Biscotti– A morning treat that pairs perfect with a nice cup of joe!
  • Vanilla Meringues– Not seasonal, but a guilt free treat when I’m looking for something sweet.
  • Harvest Chili– This is mouth watering good and packed with delicious flavor.
  • Halloween Joe Joe’s– Sure to put a smile on someone’s face.
  • Pumpkin Bagels– Toast and top with Apple Cider Jam or Pumpkin Butter! You’ll be going back for more.
  • Organic Pumpkin Bread– This is also great toasted and topped with Apple Cider Jam or Pumpkin Butter.
  • Apple Cider Jam
  • Pumpkin Butter

Whatever the holiday, my kids always burst with excitement when I start bringing our seasonal decor out from storage. They spring to open the tubs and profess their love for the season as they twirl around placing items throughout the house. This scene took place for us on Sunday. We’ve had house guests, back to back cases of sickness, and I decided now was a great time to spice things up a little. Stocking the cabinets with pumpkin flavored foods adds to the fun and brings me that child like joy!

So, when the weather gets chilly and the leaves start crunching at your feet, you know where to run!

Drop a comment and let me know if I’ve forgotten something great. I love a good Trader Joe’s find!

Adidas Swift Run Sneakers!

Look what just arrived at my door! The kick that’s going to take me through fall! These Adidas Swift Run Sneakers are exactly what I was hoping for — more beige/tan than pink.

Amazon (free shipping), Tillys (free shipping), and Finish Line ($7 shipping) have several sizes of this shoe marked down, and that’s HUGE NEWS because this color is sold out in almost all sizes at Nordstrom and Macy’s.

I normally wear a size 8 and ordered a 7.5 based on customer reviews. I am glad I did because they fit great with plenty of room in the toe.

Check Nordstrom for the most accurate idea of what this shoe will look like. I found that each website resembles a slightly different color. Hopefully my pictures will help as well!

Other stores worth checking: Nordstrom | Adidas | Macy’s | Tillys | Bloomingdale’s | Amazon | Finish Line
