these pants feel very Melania trump to me, like on her best day when she has something to offer, and it's pants inspiration.  // this green tiger number may be my holiday jam // I picked these boots up for LA because they feel very fancy urban current not-too-expensive.  I wore them to dinners with the Levi's below and felt that I had come close to stylishness.

you can catch me just about all winter in a sweater exactly like this.  nailing it. // I'll never get tired of a cat-eye tortoise pair of sunglasses  - these are just right // take a walk on the wild side with these animal print golden goose sneakers

you'd be the belle of the turkey day ball in this blouse // and go ahead and pair it with these jeans for maximum stylez // loving all things asymmetrical this season and this dress is a steal

when Alex refreshed my closet last week, I asked her 'which Levi's am I supposed to get again?", and she said these.  she's right.  // this whole row really - I'd wear the whole winter long.  such a fun sweater // my sneaker game is going up a notch with these simple and sleek vejas

this length of sweater is where I wanna be for fall - cropped and topped.  with all my high-waisted living, this feels super-cute and not in danger of exposing anything muffiny to toppy, ya know?  also extra-soft is where it's at //  I tried the striped pants on yesterday at urban and bought them.  went a size up so my butt doesn't look lumpy or bumpy, and I think I'll designate them vacation pants for thanksgiving in Tulum (but they do look dope with the black turtleneck and boots moment // these jeans are everything I want to be.  I am her.  almost // well if Melania is into the pussycat bow blouse, then perhaps we should all consider because we have to admit, if nothing, and I mean literally nothing else, girl can rock some stylez

I'm feeling this print for fall, and just about anybody's legs are slimmed by the blousy hem.  throw on with some combat boots and do you. // I just love these sneaks. how could ya not? // big boxy tees look smart with a frat-tuck into a great pair of slim jeans.  // grabbed this dress too at urban for vacation mode but also fall feels with a chunky knit thrown right over.

how cute is this little leopard set?  I can't swing the top because I'm a grown woman with breasts, but the skirt fits great and I love the yellow // I know this was the it-bag of the summer, but I'm slow to the game, so maybe this can be my winter white // loving this camel color in the sneaks so much - feels very autumnal chic to moi // easy breezy comfy denim.  why be tight when now we're all hanging loose?

oh my effing clogs / I'll scream it from a mountain top, I'm real into these madewell jeans / just got these last weekend and I'm perfectly pleased - platform vans

how cozy does this look - aspen sweater / an easy and chic eyelet top  that looks like ulla for a steal

I really like the colors in this plaid shirt / I have a similar one and I never take it off - eye necklace / this feels very winter in the city to me - denim jumpsuit

this dress with a turtleneck is what fall dreams are made of - denim dress // and these may very well be my jammy jam this winter-  corduroy high-rises

if you're anywhere in the neighborhood of blogtown, i'm certain you've heard the town gossip: the nordstrom sale is a comin' round the mountain (who on earth talks like this?!).  if you have been in resort wear elsewhere, lemme update you:

it's their anniversary sale - a big event with huge savings.  lots of brand new arrivals come in hot, deeply discounted, and after the sale, prices return to original.  there's a VIP pre-shop -- it starts tomorrow, and to access it, you need to have a nordstrom card.  you can sign up here if you're in no way equipped to wait until the sale opens to the public on the 20th.

i was able to preview the sale early, and i gotta say - there are some really legit things.  think camel-colored teddy bear jackets (yes, they get another season!), high-waisted cropped jeans, fantastic black mules, and chic-ly striped jumpsuits perfect for fall.

holler back here tomorrow, and i'll have my pics from the sale posted, and if you've got the money (the card!), i've got the time to show you all my favorite finds.  here's a sneak peek at the catalog for you to pursue.

until then, a preemptive closet cravings with some new arrivals that won't be on sale, but are priced fashionably affordably already!
