Currently Crushing

Happy Friday, friends!

Just wanted to pop on really quickly to share some items that I am currently crushing on. I have been online browsing shopping and these pieces all need to make their way into my closet. Asap!

I am headed out to celebrate one of my BFF's birthdays and headed to a concert. The usual! Haha. Hope you all have an incredible weekend!

Lush Lace Inset Kimono

 Kimonos are the easiest thing to throw on and I love the detailing in this one! You can wear it with any color shirt and it will look good! I would size down on this piece as a lot of fabric can overwhelm your body and make it look larger than you are! I bought this in the small/medium! 

Michael Kors 'Blake' bracelet watch

  I have been dying to buy a new watch. I am loving emerald and the face of this watch is gorgeous! Plus emerald is my birth stone so I feel like I have a special bond to it. Haha. I love the simplicity and the crystals in place of numbers.

Old Navy Coated Skinnies

 Coated denim is all the rage, this season. I don't like to spend a ton of money on really trendy pieces. I have been a fan of Old Navy denim for a long time. These fit great, I did NOT size up like the reviews say online. I tried on my normal Old Navy size and they fit perfectly.

Old Navy Chiffon Printed Blouse

 Who doesn't love neutrals and animal print? I know I am a sucker! This blouse is so perfect for Fall and very versatile. I can picture so many outfits in my head wearing this pretty blouse!

Rubbish Woven Henley

 Another basic to add to your closet. I am always looking for the perfect blouse to throw on. This is woven and not a tee, which I LOVE. Throw on a scarf and you will look super polished and cute!

Steve Madden 'Xplicit'

 Perfect. Black. Wedges.

Need I say more? Ok, I will. This is a very similar style to the nude wedges I have worn over and over and over again. You can dress these up or down. They look good with dresses, shorts, jeans, anything. I think everyone needs to own these!

Happy Shopping!

My Nordstrom Anniversary Picks #NSale

Wow...
My stint at Nordstrom went by so fast. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you will know that I worked for Nordstrom for 8 years. I had a very significant and fulfilling career there. I held various positions, followed my heart and made my dreams a reality. As I grew up, learned who I was and where I wanted my life to go; I decided that it was time to leave to pursue different dreams about two years ago. I look back on my time at Nordstrom with so much love. I made incredible connections, lasting relationships and know that I have a "home" there. So going back to help my mentor out for five weeks was an opportunity that I could not pass up. I did a job that was brand new, I didn't know what to expect and I learned SO much. It was fun but I am ready to settle back into my normal, regular life.

Since I was the guru and manager of all things Anniversary Early Access (this is a special offering to Nordstrom Card Holders to shop the Anniversary sale before the sale is open to the public) I thought that I would share my picks from the sale. I have truly honed in on my style, what looks good on me. I tend to favor basic pieces that I can sass up. If you like my style or gravitate to similar pieces that I wear, you will like this list!

I am a huge fan of this blouse. It is so easy to dress up or down. It looks amazing with everything!

Pleione Mixed Media Roll Sleeve Top 

I would wear plaid 24/7 if I wouldn't look like I was always wearing the same thing. Haha. This dress is a fun and different way to wear plaid. Paired with boties it is the perfect fall look.

Rubbish Plaid Shirtdress

Wildfox is one of my favorite "trend" brands. I love their outlandish and cheeky prints and sayings. This is a great top to throw on with distressed skinny denim.

Wildfox 'Diamonds are forever' raglan sleeve top

I am NOT super girly and I don't LOVE bows BUT I am in love with this sweater. This color combo is perfect without being too girly. I would wear this with oversized BF jeans and a chunky, neutral platform shoe.

Hinge Bow Back Sweater

This sweater stood out to me because I loved the small speckles of color that is interspersed throughout the sweater (hard to see in the pic). Plus I loved the added glam of the jeweled collar.

Hinge Jewel Embellished Sweater

YOU GUYS... You ALL know that this is my most favorite work out piece that I own (in three colors). When I saw that it went on sale I may or may jot have bought all four! OOPSIE! Buy it! You will not be disappointed. It is work out attire perfection.

Nike 'Critical Epic' Top

I know that I recently converted to Lululemon pants but I have been a Zella fan for years. Plus they are on sale for a GREAT price. I wear these to yoga and in my every day attire. They are thick and stay up! PLUS I just bought a MEDIUM. What What!! My previous pair(s) was a XL. I am so stoked!

Zella 'Live In' Leggings

I am still in SUPER love with the pointed toe stiletto. This is a fun and sassy update for any girl! I love the straps and studs. Classy, rocker chic!

Sam Edelman 'Darla' Pump

Everyone needs a nude peep toe pump in their closet. It literally goes with everything. This pair is gorgeous and at such a great price!  

Enzo Angiolini 'Atina' Pump

This bangle is a bit on the pricier side so it is great to pick it up when it is on sale. I own it in a few colors and it is always the perfect piece to add to any arm party.

Alexis Bittar 'Lucite Skinny Tapered' Bangle

While I did not personally buy everything on this list (I do have SOME self control) I do have very similar pieces in my closet that I go to and wear all of the time. I didn't include denim because I am still exploring what designer brands look best on me. I did pick up a pair of J Brands that were on clearance that I love. I also bought a RAD sweater that sold out so I couldn't share it with you. AND I bought some white leopard Nike Free 5.0's that also sold out (super similar to this pair I pinned months ago). I will be instagramming what I bought through out the week so make sure that you follow along (@FashionistaMMC)

I really loved the outfit that Hilary wore in my Travel Tuesday post from a couple of weeks ago. When I found a similar top, before I quit my job, for $16 I was super excited.

I skipped on Accessories, which sucks because I think that the hat and sunnies made Hilary's outfit. Even without accessories I really like how the outfit turned out. To make the outfit a little more feminine I wore wedges instead of flat sandals. I think they made the outfit :)

My interpretation

What I Wore:

Knitted Top: Rubbish

Tank: BP

Shorts: Old Navy jeans from 2006 that I turned into cut offs

Wedges: Seven Jean's
