OUTFIT {NORDSTROM FAVORITES}

J.Crew blazer  //  Sandro top  //  Rag & Bone jeans

Julie Vos necklace  //  Clare Vivier clutch  //  Sole Society heels c/o (old, similar)

When Nordstrom asked me to help spread the word about some of their emerging designers,  I was excited to purchase something a little outside my comfort zone. That's what I love about Nordstrom: they carry my favorite basics (these jeans, for instance) but mix it up with lots of fun new-to-me designers as well. I settled on this Sandro top, a beige silk number with a cutout back and leather trim. It's a little dressier and more edgy than I typically wear but the quality is amazing and it's a fun piece for date night... or around town if you throw a navy blazer on top! Business in the front, party in the back. ;) Shop a few more of my Nordstrom favorites here:

WEEKEND WARDROBE

blazer  //  earrings  //  tank top  //  wicker bag  //  leather watch  //  jeans  //  ballet flats

I can't get over how cute this wicker camera clutch is. The perfect weekend bag! We're expecting weather in the 50s again so I'm making plans to catch up with one of my oldest friends, log some serious time playing fetch at the dog park, and shoot a couple things for the blog. 

This week was so much fun with a panel on building a blog and online business, girls' night out, new career feature, and two days of Photoshop fun (more on that next week!). It was a great reminder of how much I love what I do: sharing, writing, photographing for the blog and constantly learning something new to improve the boutique. I can't wait to do it all again on Monday. But for now, let's do this, weekend! Have a great one. xx
