Top Items to Buy During The Nordstrom Early Access Anniversary Sale
It is truly the happiest of Thursdays because the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access is officially open to shop! I look forward to this sale every year because it is the perfect time to stock up on the coziest blankets, your favorite candles, and those thigh-high staple boots that pull together every fall ensemble. I have created a collage of the items that are currently in my cart, and if you see something you like, don't hesitate because things sell out quickly!

- Denim. I am not sure if y'all know this, but I have an obsession with jeans, so I love to load up for the fall season during this sale. These hem crops are in my bag now, these black high-waisters are a staple, and this vintage pair is a great contrast with a great black sweater.
- Activewear. I always refreshed my work out wardrobe during this sale! These leggings, this jacket, and these shoes are a must.
- Boots and Shoes. I wear these on the daily when the temperature drops, and these are the perfect staple investment AKA they could be the only boot you buy for the season! These boots are in my cart, and mules might be my favorite shoe in the fall - I am definitely adding these to my closet.
- Sunglasses. I just purchased these, and I love that they work with any look. A classic aviator is a must have, and these are fun too!
- Candles and Gifts. I love having a closet filled with candles and gifts for those last minute birthday lunches or dinner parties!

#NSale - last few days!
So I'll be real with you. As much as I hate to admit it, I am a procrastinator at heart. Always have been, I think it's in my blood. This applies even when it comes to amazing sales - like the Nordstrom Anniversary sale that's been going on. I held off up until now on all the amazing deals going on because I convinced myself I didn't need anything. Well, when I saw there were only 3 days left of the sale, I caved. Some of these deals were just too good to pass up on! Like, some of these tops are less than $20 and I know I'll get so much use out of them.I rounded up for you some items that I put in my shopping cart today as well as a few others that are on my wishlist (that I'll probably be ordering before Sunday). Happy shopping![show_boutique_widget id="284494"]
last call sale!
For those of you who don't know, prior to my blogging career, I worked in the buying offices for Neiman Marcus Direct. It was an amazing job, I loved the company, and learned so much! One thing I became slightly addicted to while working there were the Last Call Sales (#shoesfordays). There's one going on now, with clothes, shoes, handbags, and basically everything your heart could desire for up to 70% off! This is the perfect time to get those Tory Burch wedges that have been on your wishlist, or other pricy items that you've been waiting to go on sale!Here's a round up of some of my favorite sale items (you can hover over the image to get links to each item)![show_ms_widget id="22965360" image_id="24481500" width="800" height="800"]

long weekend = big sales!
I feel like every retail store uses any and every excuse they can for a sale. Which I'm completely okay with. This weekend in particular, was Valentine's Day, and President's Day tomorrow! I've done a little shopping guide for you of all the amazing sales going on (with some of my favorite pieces included). For the winter sale items: this is the perfect time to grab some adorable sweaters for next Fall or buy that coat you had been eyeing all season. A lot of stores too (LOFT) are doing sales on their new arrivals as well! Happy Shopping!

Madewell - 30% off goodness!
So yesterday I was at the mall and finished all my Christmas shopping (which, considering it's December 23rd, really isn't that impressive). To reward myself though, I shopped the Madewell 30% off sale and found some new wardrobe faves! 
I love this plum polka-dot skirt because I think it's perfect for work, but so fun to throw a chunky sweater over it for weekend wear! I knew as soon as I laid eyes on this bon voyage sweater, that I had to have it. I'm crazy about cowl necks and this one is so warm and cozy. I had been eyeing these black booties for quite some time now, and considered the 30% off sale a sign that I HAD to get them! The heel height is perfect and I love that they can be dressed up or down.Really, my favorite purchase from yesterday is my new skinny jeans. I don't buy jeans often but when I do, I wear them forever. I fell in love with the fit of these jeans. I also think the wash is perfect and I love that they're distressed, but not too distressed. If you're in the market for a new pair of skinny jeans, I highly recommend these! And ordering them online is a safe bet because they fit true to size.I wanted to get a picture of my new outfit this morning, and of course getting a picture at home without Beau (my puppy) in it is impossible!
Shop the post here, and make sure you use the code "WRAPITUP" at checkout to get 30% off!

40% off...everything!
While I do 99% of my shopping these days online, my husband decided today we should do some Christmas shopping at the mall. On a Saturday, just 12 days before Christmas. Needless to say it was a psycho experience, but I did stumble across the LOFT 40% OFF sale and picked up a few goodies!
