Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atl Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atlanta for Benjamin's birthday! 

We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Maste Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Masters! ⛳️

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Still In Stock

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public! This means EVERYONE can shop regardless of cardholder status. Since the sale is open to the public, I thought I would round up some of my favorite pieces that are still in stock.

This sale moves quickly, so while these pieces are in stock while I’m writing this post, they may not be by the time you read it. I apologize, I will try to keep up with out-of-stock items, but truly, things move quickly with this sale.

MY FAVORITE IN-STOCK ITEMS FROM THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE!

woman wearing tennis dress from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

ZELLA TENNIS DRESS

Sizing: True to size. I’m wearing a large.
Thoughts: This is one of, if not my favorite, item from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I love Zella athletic wear and have been all about the tennis dress or athletic dress lately. Also, I actually did a breakdown of my favorite athletic dresses on TikTok, so I was excited to add this dress to my collection. I like this dress because it is different than some of the other dresses in my collection. It has wide straps rather than tank straps so you can wear any bra you choose with it. It also has a very flattering a-line skirt. I like the zipper as well so you can control how open you want the dress.
Price: On sale for $49.90. Will increase to $79 after the sale.

woman wearing sleeveless sweater from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

FRENCH CONNECTION SLEEVELESS COTTON SWEATER

Sizing: True to size. I’m wearing a large.
Thoughts: This is another one of my favorite purchases from the sale. I can’t wait for it to get cooler in Atlanta so I can layer this over other pieces. It is a great workwear staple, but can also be paired with jeans for a more casual look.
Price: On sale for $58.99. Will increase to $98 after the sale.

woman in tweed dress from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

TWEED MINIDRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing a 12. It’s a little roomy, I could have sized it down to a 10.
Thoughts: The cutest workwear dress. The undershirt is actually attached to the dress, so it’s just one dress rather than a jumper over a blouse. I love that because it doesn’t make it bulky or add extra weight.
Price: On sale for $79.99. Will increase to $129 after the sale.

woman in plaid long dress from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

MOD PLAID LONG SLEEVE DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing a large. It runs true to size.
Thoughts: I think this dress would be so cute with white boots. I purchase white booties from the sale and I think this is going to be an adorable fall look. I like the high neck and bubble sleeves. It looks much shorter on the model on the site, but I am 5’5″ and have short legs so it fits perfectly right above the knee for me.
Price: On sale for $49.90. Will increase to $79 after the sale.

woman in ruffle dress from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

FRENCH CONNECTION RUFFLE MINIDRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing a 12. Runs true to size.
Thoughts: I ordered this dress in black, but tried it on in the berry while I was in the store. I wanted to make sure it fit. I love the fit of this dress. It is so flattering and not too tight. I feel very confident and not over-exposed in an unflattering fit in this dress. I will definitely be pulling this out for wedding season or a date night.
Price: On sale for $89.99. Will increase to $148 after the sale.

woman wearing faux moto jacket from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

FAUX LEATHER MOTO JACKET

Sizing: I’m wearing an XL. I wanted it to fit over layers. It’s roomy, but I could wear tops underneath.
Thoughts: I believe this jacket is sold out in this color, but is available in black and green. I like it a lot for fall layering. I have it styled here over a sweater dress and will share it below over jeans and a sleeveless turtleneck. It’s just a cute fall staple to add to your closet.
Price: On sale for $59.99. Will increase to $98 after the sale.

woman in moss green dress from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

TREASURE & BOND SMOCKED MIDI DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It runs large. I needed a medium.
Thoughts: This dress is gorgeous. It runs large, but it so flattering. The smocked detailing holds you in all the right places. The v-neck is a very flattering cut without being too deep. I love this dress.
Price: On sale for $49.90. Will increase to $79 after the sale.

FLORAL LONG SLEEVE DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It runs large. I needed a medium.
Thoughts: I’m surprised this dress is still in stock. This is a great fall floral dress that can be worn with layers or stand on its own.
Price: On sale for $84.99. Will increase to $128 after the sale.

SQUARE NECK PUFF SLEEVE TOP

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s a little roomy.
Thoughts: This is such a cute top to wear with jeans or skirts. I like the buttons and the square neck. It also comes in olive.
Price: On sale for $34.99. Will increase to $55 after the sale.

GREEN LONG SLEEVE DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s true to size.
Thoughts: I love this dress. It absolutely came home with me. It is pretty for the fall, but would also be pretty around the holidays for Christmas parties.
Price: On sale for $55.99. Will increase to $89 after the sale.

BLACK FLORAL PUFF SLEEVE BLOUSE

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s true to size.
Thoughts: This is such a cute transitional piece. It can be worn now with shorts or a skirt and can easily be transitioned into the cooler months with jeans, jackets and longer skirts.
Price: On sale for $49.99. Will increase to $ after the sale.

V-BACK SHEATH DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s fit true to size in the hips and waist for me, but was roomy in the top.
Thoughts: A great workwear dress. It has a v-cutout in the back that isn’t deep so you can definitely still wear it to work, but it gives it a little something extra. I love the wrap-inspired fit in the front. It makes the dress so flattering.
Price: On sale for $58.90. Will increase to $89 after the sale.

HOUNDSTOOTH BLAZER

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s oversized but fits well as an oversized jacket.
Thoughts: This is cute with skinny jeans or over a skirt or shorts. You can add a belt to cinch your waist or leave it large and oversized for a trendier look.
Price: On sale for $119.90. Will increase to $179 after the sale.

ROSEBUD BABYDOLL DRESS

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It was too large all over. I needed a medium.
Thoughts: This one was a little too low cut for me. I had a hard time keeping it in place. I liked the fit in how the dress fell, but the top was a little too much for me.
Price: On sale for $44.99 Will increase to $59 after the sale.

BROOKSIDE SWEATER

Sizing: I’m wearing an M. It’s meant to be oversized. If you want it even closer to your size, I would size down two.
Thoughts: This is a great, thick cozy sweater for fall and winter. It would be cute with leggings or jeans, or layered over a bodycon dress.
Price: On sale for $84.99 Will increase to $128 after the sale.

LINEN CRINKLE BLAZER

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s meant to be oversized. If you want it closer to your size, I would size it down.
Thoughts: I like this blazer because it’s a linen blazer so it’s lightweight! It’s still pretty hot in Atlanta in the fall and sometimes the thicker blazers are too much. The linen is a lighter fabric for layering in warmer temps.
Price: On sale for $89.99 Will increase to $138 after the sale.

PLAID SHACKET

Sizing: I’m wearing an L. It’s meant to be oversized. If you want it closer to your size, I would size it down.
Thoughts: I love the shacket trend. This is a thicker shacket, it would be great in the winter with a cute felt hat. I like the neutral colors in this one.
Price: On sale for $59.99 Will increase to $98 after the sale.

RIBBED BLACK CARDIGAN

Sizing: I’m wearing a M. It’s meant to be oversized. If you want it closer to your size, I would size it down two sizes.
Thoughts: This is the thickest, coziest cardigan. I like the bubble sleeves and the length of this cardigan. It’s longer so it’s unique. Honestly, I want to wrap up in it and take a nap. It’s so cozy.
Price: On sale for $89.99 Will increase to $138 after the sale.

LIGHTWEIGHT PURPLE PULLOVER

Sizing: I’m wearing a large and it runs true to size.
Thoughts: I just shared a bunch of thicker jackets and sweaters, so I like this lightweight one for the beginning of fall/winter. I also am a sucker for purple.
Price: On sale for $49.99 Will increase to $79.50 after the sale.

SHOES IN STOCK

POINTED TOE BOOTIE

Sizing: I’m wearing a 7. I could use a 7.5
Thoughts: These are SO cute. I can’t wait to wear them with the mod dress from earlier
Price: On sale for $129.99 Will increase to $199 after the sale.

CHAYA POINTED TOE BOOTIE

Sizing: I’m wearing a 7. Runs true to size.
Thoughts: This bootie is one of my favorite shoe purchases from the sale. I will wear these with jeans and dresses. They come in several colors.
Price: On sale for $94.99 Will increase to $139.95 after the sale.

POINTED TOE MULE

Sizing: I’m wearing a 7. Runs true to size.
Thoughts: This is my other favorite shoe purchase from the sale. These are perfect for work and come in several colors!
Price: On sale for $64.99 Will increase to $94.95 after the sale.

POINTED TOE KNEE HIGH BOOT

Sizing: Ordered a 7.
Thoughts: Unfortunately, I couldn’t zip these. I have a wider calf, and these didn’t zip. NOW, these boots do come in wide calf in the tortilla color, but not in the white. So I may try those out. If you are a regular calf size, then these are adorable. I love the unique heel.
Price: On sale for $149.90. Will increase to $249 after the sale.

UMA KNEE HIGH BOOT

Sizing: Ordered a 7.
Thoughts: Kind of the same story here. These did zip and had more room, I just didn’t love the fit on my calves. These do not come in wide calf, so if you are a wide-calf gal, maybe skip these. However, if you are a regular calf size, these are adorable. They have a cute kitten heel that can be worn with so many things.
Price: On sale for $159.99. Will increase to $250 after the sale.

SODALITA WESTERN BOOT

Sizing: Ordered a 7.
Thoughts: These fit, but were a little snug in the calves. They, unfortunately, don’t come in wide calf, so if you have a wide calf it’s kind of up to you and how you feel about your fit. I ended up returning them because it made me a little self conscious. I wish I could have kept them though. These boots were at the top of my wish list. Regular calf girls, order your true size.
Price: On sale for $169.99. Will increase to $260 after the sale.
