Friday Favorites (LOTS on SALE!) — Sheaffer Told Me To

It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

HUGE NORDSTROM SALE

Click HERE for the HUGE fall sale at Nordstrom! So many awesome pieces are included for women, men, kids, and beauty.

Click HERE for all the beauty included. We’re talking Magic Cream (my favorite moisturizer EVER, I use it every single day and night), my amazing eyelash primer (makes lashes thicker and longer), a favorite eyebrow pencil, and tons more! I’m telling you, if you buy any beauty products at Nordstrom, you should check because there’s a good chance it might be on sale.

Here are some things I’ve featured recently that are included…

I’ve been talking about these exact jeans for years now. Seriously, YEARS.

They are the most flattering pair of jeans I have ever owned. I named them a must have quite a while ago, and years later they are still one of my most worn pair of jeans. They are super comfortable and very stretchy (but they totally hold their shape throughout the day).

Their claim to fame? I promise you that you will look 2 inches taller and 10 pounds lighter. I know that’s a bold claim, but I stand by it. 😉 You will have legs for dayzzzzzzzzzzz.

Many people size down in these jeans because of the stretch, but I wear my regular size 4.

This puff sleeve sweater is classic and beautiful. This one is also a wool/cashmere blend, but it’s also super soft and not itchy. It’s thin, which makes this one great for layering too. As you can see, it’s cute and flattering worn out because of the ribbed hem, but it also works well with a half tuck. I love the versatility of a short sleeve sweater, so I’m happy to add this one to my closet. I love this neutral “tan”, but it comes in six total color options. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I can’t believe that this dress is included and is now 40% OFF (which means it’s now UNDER $50)! I devoted an entire post to it HERE. If you haven’t purchased it for yourself yet, GET IT NOW! Or if you only got it in one color, GET THE OTHER COLOR NOW! It’s seriously that good.

The dress is 100% cotton, lightweight, and fully lined. It has beautiful lace detailing and a roomy and relaxed fit with loose sleeves and a tiered skirt (which adds some interest and volume). And it has pockets. Yay! I would say it runs a bit big, so most will probably want to size down like I did. I’m wearing a small.

So you’ve seen it with sandals styled for summer, but look how cute it is with these tall boots too (and just imagine how great it would be with cowboy boots)! The knee high boots are 40% OFF too (size up a 1/2).

The western vibe is a huge trend this fall, and this dress really lends itself to that.

Pairing it with a denim jacket is an absolute no brainer. (The one I’m wearing is several years old, but click HERE for a super similar one.) I mean, take me to a country concert!

I thought it would be fun to really lean into the western styling….

LOOK! HOW! CUTE!

And now I need these cowboy boots. Like I’m putting them into my cart right now. I don’t have a pair at all, so I actually NEED them, right?

And here’s the black dress…

And of course with the denim jacket…

Another item that I was floored! It’s NEW, I love it, and now it’s ON SALE!

I love this cardi jacket, but my mom is going to realllllllllllllllly love it. This is an item that I think will fly off the shelf. It’s a viscose fabric with a lot of stretch and give. It looks more red in this picture than it does in real life where I think it definitely reads a little bit more orange. I would say it’s a red/orange. It also comes in a beautiful camel color that would be a great neutral basic for just about anybody to have in their closet. I love it here with jeans, but it’s definitely nice enough to wear with our favorite stretchy black dress pants (true to size, but size down if between sizes). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I love it over a tee too.

And my leopard Mary Janes that I’m obsessed with are ALSO ON SALE!

And it’s super cute with my favorite ecru jeans (also on sale).

And you can of course dress it up and wear it to the office…

This dress is now 60% OFF…

I’m wearing it with wedge sandals, but you can totally take it into fall by layering on a jacket and styling it with boots or booties. The lining is like a spaghetti strapped slip, and it looks so pretty under the textured lace. It’s got a boho vibe. I love the billowy and sheer sleeves, and the ruffle skirt is feminine and flirty. I love it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

AVARA DENIM SALE

WHEN: Thursday 9/18- Sunday 9/21

WHAT: Up to 30% off the Avara Denim Collection

Click HERE for all of the jeans included in the sale.

I’m going to grab the Cameron ankle jeans (30% OFF) and these bootcut trouser jeans (15% OFF) for myself.

Here are the jeans I own from Avara that are in stock right now…

These Aliyah jeans are amazing. They are stretchy, comfy, flattering as all get out, and what I consider to be a perfect straight leg option. I know that wide leg jeans and barrel jeans are all the rage right now, but I have to say, I still find a nice straight leg jean to be the most figure flattering by far. These are a mid to high rise with a frayed hem. I like the length with these booties, but I might actually cut a bit of length off so they will show a little ankle on me when wearing sneakers or flats. For size reference, I find them to be true to size. I’m wearing a 27.

Aliyah jeans / suede booties / bracelet set

Here are two outfits you’ve seen me wearing with the jeans…

This top is totally charming. It has a cream background which means it’s appropriate all year long, but the colors in the small floral pattern actually make it great for fall. The top has a relaxed fit and puff sleeves, but it’s more understated than a lot of the puff sleeve tops out there right now. It also comes in olive HERE.

The banded collar features a ruffle with tons of tiny little pleats and the covered buttons are lovely. This top is feminine and adorable. The split neck is deep (but not too deep) and very flattering. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. If you have a large chest, you might consider sizing up. This top is actually on the shorter side (see the online picture), but since I’m short waisted, I’m still able to do a half tuck with it.

If you want a dramatic look, this could be the top for you.

First of all, the color is vibrant! It’s a really gorgeous deep red. The embroidered flowers are oversized and placed on the shoulders and puffy sleeves, and both the sleeves and the embroidery make quite the statement. This top would also look great with boot cut jeans. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

THE LEOPARD TOTE IS BACK!!!

Lots of y’all were bummed that my Rothy’s leopard tote sold out so fast when I highlighted it last year.

WELL, I’VE GOT SOME GREAT NEWS!

It’s back!

And even thought it’s not on sale (and everything else I’m posting today is on sale), I still wanted to post about it because I don’t want it to sell out again before you’re able to grab it.

BECAUSE THIS TOTE IS FABULOUS.

It’s big (but not too big), it’s super durable, and it’s obviously DARLING. And ladies, you can throw it in the wash.

Here’s what the site has to say about it:

Lightweight, flexible design in tan and black leopard print.
Durable top handles in black fit comfortably over the shoulder.
Fits everything from your picnic mat to your yoga clothes—and even an extra pair of shoes.
A handy key leash in brown keeps your keys or accessories secure and easy to find.
Need extra organization? Our versatile Wristlet easily clips onto this tote.
