It’s AWESOME!
Ladies.
Okay, I feel like I just have to say this.
Yesterday at Nordstrom….
I. WAS. A. MACHINE.
Again, for those of you that aren’t familiar….
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale introduces NEW fall and winter items
at a deeply reduced introductory price.
The items are introduced with SALE PRICES, and then when the sale is over, the prices go back up.
It’s Nordstrom’s way of encouraging us to start buying fall stuff when it is still 100 degrees outside.
AND IT WORKS.
The deals are fantastic.
I tried on lots of boots and booties…..I drooled
over some gorgeous bags…….checked out lots of great jewelry….and
tried on some amazing clothes!
YEP. I. WAS. A. MACHINE.
highlighting today are more expensive than the stuff I usually talk
about. But I’m willing to pay more for high quality boots, bags, and
jackets that will stand the test of time…and I imagine many of you are
too.
The sale doesn’t end until August 3rd.
HOWEVER,
if history repeats itself,
some of the items will sell out quickly and might not get re-stocked until after the sale is over.
So, keep that in mind.
If you love something, get it before it’s too late!
(If window shopping is enough, you can click HERE to sign up for a credit or debit card that will give you access.)
Turn off the t.v., get your kids a snack and tell them to go read quietly in their rooms,
and ignore your husband for the next several minutes.
GAME FACE GIRLS.
***************************************************************************
So I was pulling into the Nordstrom parking lot at about 9:47-ish. 🙂
So, I hit up the shoe department first, and I absolutely fell in love with the very first pair of boots I put on. I’ve been talking about them since I started this blog, and I finally have some to call my own!
I BOUGHT FRYE BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve
wanted them for 3 years, and LOVED the idea of them, but every time I
went to try them on I didn’t love them enough to buy them. Something
was always off.
But today THESE BABIES became mine.
I
cannot even tell you how comfy they are, AND OH MY GOODNESS they are
just what I was looking for. Such a great boot! I am so excited!!!
I found them to be true to size.
They are definitely a splurge….but I just threw caution to the wind and am sooo happy I did!
$259.90 / After Sale $387.95
I’m for sure going to be glad when I see them full price in the fall!
Click HERE for my Frye boots.
These are the same Frye boots….but I just wanted you to be able to see the detail!
UPDATE AS OF 8:10 a.m.
I’ve had 2 readers ask me about how Frye boots hold up in winter.
Here is one of the e-mails:
your Frye boots! I just worry about all the salt and melting snow with
them here….I would hate to spend that much and have them look awful
after 1 Illinois winter…any thoughts on how well they hold up? I Can’t
wait to see how you style them a zillion ways to Sunday this fall!
Okay…..it’s 9:10 and I have an update! Just received this comment in response to Jan’s question:
I have had my Frye boots for years, and they still look amazing! I get
compliments on them all the time. We live in Oregon, and our winters
are filled with snow and ice. For those of you concerned about them
holding up, get the boots!
Ooh! Another great and informative response to Jan:
For Jan and any others drooling over Frye’s who live in colder climates:
My Fryes have lived through one Boston winter and three Michigan
winters. This last winter was one of the worst here, and there was
shoe-eating salt everywhere! They are the most well made boots you will
ever own, and if you take care of them, they will last you a lifetime. I
weather proofed mine and make sure to wipe the salt and slush guck off
when I get home. They are now at the cobbler to get the heel fixed up
for twenty bucks because I have worn them out, but other than that, like
a good pair of denim jeans, they are worn in, but still rock solid.
These babies are the best!
Maggie
Thank you ladies for the information!
These next pair of booties was the 2nd pair I put on, and I fell in love with them too.
LOVE. THESE. BOOTIES.
I tried on tons of booties today (all were WAY more expensive than these, like 2x as much), and I ended up liking these the best!
True to size and super comfy!
I got the chocolate/chocolate.
$79.90 / After Sale $119.95
Click HERE for the booties.
I think Emily and Lauren both got these too!!!!! 🙂
So, before I formally met Cara and Erin, I was admiring the boots Erin had on.
I wanted to try them, but they didn’t have the color I wanted in my size.
So I was all, “I know you’re going to think I’m totally crazy, but can I take a picture of the boots you have on?” That’s when Cara told me not to worry because she read my blog. Which means she basically already knew I was crazy! 🙂
$133.90 / After Sale $199.95
Click HERE for these Steve Madden lovelies.
I have other boots and shoes to show you, but those will be on a post next week, so stay tuned!
Next I headed to bags and accessories.
Here is a FAVORITE FIND that I didn’t post last night.
Check out the large Kendra Scott necklaces (without the tassel) HERE.
I’d never seen these without the tassel, and they were awesome!
$51.90 / After Sale $78
I got the “blush”, but I also really liked the “grey” (on the far left). The pendant is bigger than the pendant on my tassel necklace, and I love the size of it!
Again, AMAZING Christmas gifts!
Click HERE for the small earrings.
I have both sizes, and I like this size the best.
$33.90 / After Sale $52
Click HERE for all Kendra Scott jewelry included in the sale!
I looked at lots and lots of great bags today!
Here are 3 of them that I was loving that all have a crossbody option!
These are all REALLY NICE bags.
Click HERE for the cognac Michael Kors. $245.90 / After Sale $368
Click HERE for the red Rebecca Minkoff. $216.90 / After Sale $325
Click HERE for the colorblock Marc Jacobs. $292.90 / After Sale $438
For some reason, I cannot find this color bag online, but it’s Halogen, and it was seriously pretty.
And totally classic.
Click HERE for the same bag in other colors.
$151.90 / After Sale $228
Click HERE for all Halogen bag items found in the sale.
Click HERE for these sparkly bracelets that were so fun!
$29.90 / After Sale $48
I still have more jewelry and bags to show you next week, but for now let’s move on to clothes!
Click HERE for the updated MUST HAVE shirt.
$37.90 / After Sale $58
It’s a bit more fitted (which I LOVE!) than last year’s MUST HAVE shirt, and it has some cute gathering detail up by the shoulders.
It runs big, so size down.
I’m wearing an x-small. Fyi, I also wore an x-small in last year’s shirt for comparison.
I am only getting black because I think all of the other colors will show too many wrinkles.
Click HERE for this shirt that I will be wearing ALL FALL AND WINTER LONG!
My other shirt will be so happy to have a break! 🙂
I received lots and lots of blog comments, e-mails, and facebook messages yesterday about items in the sale, but BY FAR the most e-mails and blog comments I received were about the blardigan.
One reader (Hi Darcy!) left a comment on last night’s post saying she bought 6 as Christmas gifts!
GO DARCY!
That is the cocoa/midnight on the left and the cocoa/white on the right.
I really liked both colors!
Click HERE.
$59.90 / After Sale $90
Buy them for every single lady in your family for Christmas. TRUST.
I PROMISE YOU you will never find a softer piece of clothing.
You will wear it at home, and you will wear it out. You will be so happy to have it.
I was thrilled when I spotted these next items hanging on the wall!
Check out this NEW FRINGE SCARF!
It’s only TWELVE DOLLARS AND 90 CENTS!
The light colored one is a pale pink, and it’s very pretty. I got both. Because duh.
$12.90 / After Sale $20
Wouldn’t these make awesome Christmas gifts/stocking stuffers?
Click HERE.
but I still liked the jacket overall. You can cinch in the waist
inside, which I didn’t take the time to do, but it would definitely give the jacket more shape.
I had several questions if this jacket was warm, and if memory recalls correctly, it was.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE PRICE?
Super similar to the MUST HAVE shirt, but with additional gathered details in the back (check it out on the site).
The color is GORGEOUS.
I was wearing a small in the picture, but I ordered an x-small, so I would suggest sizing down.
$49.90 / After Sale $78
Click HERE (also comes in black and cream).
One more find for today! Click HERE for the short sleeve version of the MUST HAVE shirt!
$29.90 / After Sale $48
Okay, that’s it for today girls!
I will of course continue to roll out other finds over the next several weeks, so make sure you keep checking back!
I’M DYING TO KNOW….
WHAT ARE YOU LOVING?
WHAT CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT?
HOW MANY BLARDIGANS ARE YOU GETTING?
DID YOU SIGN UP FOR A CREDIT CARD TODAY BECAUSE YOU STARTED TO PANIC?
DID ANYBODY ELSE GET FRYE BOOTS?
Sound off in the comments!!!!

Sheaffer 🙂
p.s.
I wanted to give all of you an update about my sweet boy (so many of you have checked up on him! thank you!). Just a mild case of swimmer’s ear that we caught very early! Antibiotic drops twice a day and pain drops as needed. Only his right ear hurts, and it only hurts when he touches it. Thanks so much for checking up on my little guy!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yesterday was like Christmas morning for this 32 year old mama! My heart rate was elevated, my pulse quickened, my energy high and my expectations exceeded!! I have already place one order and after reading your post today, I'm totally going to need to place another one! Love, love, love everything you featured! Those Frye Boots…girl…they're stunning. Just stunning!
Katie @ Mishaps and Mayhem of a Solitary Life says
Those booties are super cute…and were one thing NOT in my cart! HA!! I may have to get those!! Thanks for all the great picks! I might have to get my mom the KS necklace and earrings for Christmas… Oh and the short sleeve must have shirt-love the pattern! Basically I love everything! Oh and here's the link to my blog today where you're featured =) Have a great weekend!

Jane the torontoShopoholic says
I can't wait for Nordstrom to open up in Canada. This sale looks too good to be true!
SarahN says
I got the debit card just so I could look around the sale. And now I have about 7 items sitting in my cart screaming at me to hit "purchase"! Including 2 blardigans and more hanky panky! (Btw – "Hank", as we call them in my house, are THE BEST underwear ever. They still look new. I can even work out in them. Sooo comfy)
But now you are tempting me with those Frye Boots!!!!!!!!! Like seriously. Are they truly worth the money?
Sheaffer says
Hi Sarah! All I know is that people that have Frye's (and have had them for years) absolutely SWEAR by them! I had one lady comment last year when I was talking about them how she had the same pair of Frye's for over 20 years and loved them for 20 years! I mean, that's a classic! I had a girl last night comment on facebook that she bought a pair of Frye's like 3 years ago (and had a lot of trouble spending the $ then for a pair of boots), but then she bought another pair last night and didn't even think twice about the money because she knew it would be worth it! Hope this helps!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
SarahN says
Thanks Sheaffer! Hubby just GAVE ME THE GO AHEAD (what?!) but I'm still thinking about it. I'm so afraid all the salt and snow from our harsh winters will ruin them. Hmmmmmm. I just know I'd wear them every single day.
Anonymous says
I do not usually buy such expensive items for myself, but my best friend talked so much about her Frye boots (and I died of jealousy every time she wore them), so I finally bought a pair like 2 years ago. I'm going to buy another pair today because I now know they are worth it. I'm just trying decide between the Phillip and the Molly. What do you think Sheaffer?
SarahN says
The Molly version is SO PRETTY! Now I'm even more confused!!!!
Sheaffer says
Okay girls. I tried on the Molly version and LOVED the way they looked. However, I found them VERY hard to get on. They don't have a zipper, so you have to stand up and force your foot into them. HOWEVER, once you get the foot in they are sooooooo comfy and look great! I just knew that I wouldn't want to have to fight with my boots every time I put them on! Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Sarah, you need to buy the boots now and never look back. My sister got a pair several years ago, and now all the women in my family have them (my mom, my other sister, my aunt, and my sister's oldest daughter who is in college). They are really that good. You won't regret it!
Kathy Cohen says
I bought the cole haan boots, Michael kors purse, 2 scarves, the camo north face vest, and Kendra scott earrings. So excited!
Sarah Kuykendall says
I love your enthusiasm!!
Sarita @ it's a girl's world says
LOVE this post==== thanks so much! I will have to wait for next week as I'm from canada but I am counting the days!!!
Ashley Ferguson says
You know I spent way too much yesterday! I pretty much bought it all except for the frye boots (the ones I have are real similar!), the hooded jacket and a handbag. Pretty much everything else will be at my doorstep next week, eek!!! Plus a few more things for our summer vacation. Thanks again for all of your help yesterday, you rock!! Oh one last thing…did you see any makeup specials that were worth checking out?? So excited to get some Christmas gifts out of the way, that's a first for July!! Thanks again!! Ashley

What stone necklace do you have on with the short sleeve must have shirt? Love it!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! It's from Kendra Scott, but it's sold out right now. I'm hoping they will restock it soon! I'll be sure to put it on the blog if they do!
xoxo,

I'm looking for that same stone necklace for my teenage daughter for her birthday this month! Sheaffer, do you know the name of the necklace? I have looked at it on the Kendra Scott website once and they are gone now (and of course I don't remember the name). I love the color of yours!!

Tina says
It's a Pave Oval Iridescent Drusy
Ashley Ferguson says
And your frye's are just amazing, so excited for you! You will love them more than you think. Make sure to put a sparkling water bottle or a one liter size bottle in the boots to keep them standing upright, just a little tip I learned…:))
Kim says
You will not be disappointed in the Frye boots.. I have several pair and they are wonderful. Love all the clothes on the blog today..
Anonymous says
Oh my gosh, I love and hate you all at the same time! I want almost all of the things you just mentioned. And then I'll need a good divorce lawyer and a second job! ha ha! Thanks so much for being YOU. Keep up the awesome work. 🙂
Mugsy the Girl says
I thought I splurged when I bought my Frye's boots, but they are truly great boots. I wear them with everything. Yours are super cute. I'm tempted. But I "need" black tall boots for the fall.
Been looking at black moto jeans too. Just because I have great booties to wear with them.
I definitely need some style tips for the booties. Especially to be able to wear them to work.
Hope your son is feeling better. I dislike it very much when my kids get sick. Thanks for sharing the fun.

I would love to get those boots, but they are pricey. They will look so good on you this fall.
Bella says
Love the Frye boots, but I'm short 5'2, think would they be too tall for me?
Sheaffer says
Hi Bella! I'm 5'3" and 3/4" :). I still have some room in them before my knee, so I really think they would be fine! If mine were a little taller I would definitely be okay with it!!!!!
Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Katie O'Brien says
Bella,
Im 5'2" and bought some last year! I love them and they aren't too tall at all! They're perfect!
Bella says
Thanks so much Sheaffer and Katie!
April Parrish says
Thanks to you I now have a Nordstrom card. I totally caved yesterday! I purchased the Kendra Scott earrings in blue. I still have my eye on several things; so we will see what else I end up with!
Have a great weekend! 🙂
Kelly says
Hi Shaeffer! I am 5'3 (and a half!) 🙂 and I have been loving the blardigan since you introduced us last year. I'm just worried I'm too short and it will overwhelm me? What do you think?
Sheaffer says
Hi Kelly! I'm only 1/4 inch taller than you, so you will be totally fine!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT! I PROMISE!!!!!
xoxo,
sheaffer 🙂
Brittany says
Kelly I'm 5'0" and I have one that I wear almost every day. Im wearing it right now. I wear it outside I wear it inside. I wear it in my house I wear it with a mouse. (sorry had to!) I ordered a second one yesterday because this one gets so overused! GO FOR IT GIRL!
Kristen says
I LOVE these posts! Also, can I ask, where is your gorgeous green ring from? Loooove.
Sheaffer says
Hi Kristen? That's my new ring from the Color Bar at Kendra Scott! Thank you so much, and I LOVE IT too!!!!!!! It's the daisy ring with the chalcedony stone. Copy and paste this into your browser: http://rstyle.me/n/essx2pvje

Farryn says
Hi, Shaeffer! I have the Same Edelman brown boots that you posted on the blog last fall….and absolutely love them! Are the Frye boots that you featured today a lot different than the Sam Edelman boots? I really really want the Frye boots, but want to make sure I will get a lot of wear out of them since I wear the Sam Edelman boots all the time! I have wanted Frye boots for like evvvver! What are your thoughts? Also, did you happen to see the Frye boots in black? If so, are they just as great as the brown?
Also, I have the Michael Kors cognac purse ( I purchased it last fall) and it is SO WORTH IT! I get so many compliments on it and the purse itself is so functional! BUY IT NOW!
Sheaffer says
Hi Farryn! The Frye boots are quite a bit different than then Sam Edelman Penny boots from last year. The Penny boots were much more cognac, and the Frye's are more of a chocolate brown. Also, the Penny's are much more polished and dressy, and the Frye's are more rugged (both the leather and the buckle make them look this way). They really are completely different boots with totally different looks! And yes, saw them in black, and loved them in black too! Good to know about that MK bag. I thought it was such a beautiful and versatile color and such a great size!

Sara says
I'm so excited to have some of my Christmas shopping done in July!!! I bought my mom & SIL blardigans (different colors) and my daughter & some tbd friends scarves. Plus a scarf for me.Merry Christmas in July! Earliest shopping for Christmas I've EVER done. Thanks, Sheaffer!
Brittany H. says
I love all of your picks!!! I ordered the frye Anna shortie boots, ks earrings, hue leggings, and some necklaces. I am really considering get the frye Phillip riding boots in black ( I have the Melissa button in cognac and love them!!) Also does anyone have any input on the Rag & Bone military style jacket?? I really want that but wanted an opinion on it first, as I don't live near a store. Love your blog!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi Brittany! I tried on the Rag and Bone military jacket (I'll put it on the blog sometime next week). I wanted to love it, but I didn't. I think it will look best on somebody that is super tall and skinny. Actually, I think it would look good on a shorter person too, as long as she has a really petite frame. It just looked off on me!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Brittany H. says
Thanks for the quick reply!! I am about your size and frame, so I should probably look for a different style as well!! Ill look forward to seeing what military jackets you post in the future…..I NEED another one 🙂

Shalee Butler says
Went crazy yesterday and bought the sam edelman pembrooke boots in sharkskin, a blardigan, & a patagonia jacket! Planning on heading up to Houston Galleria Nordstrom this weekend and do a little more shopping….my bank account is going to hate me this week 🙂
Trish says
How many blardigans are too many? I ordered a cocoa/brown last year and the off white one yesterday. I now am considering the marine one. What are your thoughts?
Kim Kauffman says
Ok, first of all, you look gorgeous in everything. Seriously. I have an appointment tonight and my plan of attack is the blardigan (but which color?? ugh!), that beautiful pinkish shirt that is similar to the must have (that is SO me), KS earrings for my mom for her birthday and then there's a cute lace trimmed tunic from the junior's department that I'd like to try. I REALLY want the booties but I'm going to have to cross my fingers they are still available in August because no way will my hubby go for that this month (I'm becoming a Stella and Dot stylist so putting out that investment next week. So fun though!). Can't wait to continue seeing your finds!!!

For Jan and any others drooling over Frye's who live in colder climates: My Fryes have lived through one Boston winter and three Michigan winters. This last winter was one of the worst here, and there was shoe-eating salt everywhere! They are the most well made boots you will ever own, and if you take care of them, they will last you a lifetime. I weather proofed mine and make sure to wipe the salt and slush guck off when I get home. They are now at the cobbler to get the heel fixed up for twenty bucks because I have worn them out, but other than that, like a good pair of denim jeans, they are worn in, but still rock solid. These babies are the best! Maggie

Ok I am DYING up here in Canada!!! We can't apply for the card, so no early online access 🙁 I am loving everything you got and am soooo jealous of the Frye's!! DREAM COME TRUE!!! I am definitely contemplating getting a babysitter for tomorrow and driving the 4 hours (each way) across the border to the nearest Nordstrom. I can't wait any longer!

I have three pairs of Frye boots and can say they are worth the splurge for sure! I love all of mine and the quality is superb. I live in Colorado so they are great for the fall and winter months here. You will not be disappointed! I got my Harness boots at the anniversary sale last year , the best!

Holly says
I'm so excited! I got a card so I could shop with you. I got a blardigan, must have leggings, 3 pr of KS earrings and the strap booties. I would love to have those Frye boots but just know they wouldn't fit my darn muscular calves. I'm thinking I need to place another order now for some more blardigans for gifts. Thanks for all the great suggestions-can't wait to receive them!
Anonymous says
LOVE your finds Sheaffer! We do not have a Nordstrom nearby so I am not a cardholder but after reading all the comments yesterday about the Blardigan being potentially sold out, I freaked and pulled the trigger on paying full price for it. I only cringed once 🙂 So excited to see if it is as wonderful as everyone says it is!

Hahah I panicked yesterday that I would not get to buy the Tory Burch boots once it opened to the public so I signed up for a credit card! I told myself they were my gift with the tax refund I got back for paying the interest on my student loans. Totally well deserved and I have been waiting for them since April! Got an email they shipped today and I cannot wait for them to arrive on my doorstep!!

If my bank account had fists, it would definitely knock me out for this one. Frye's booties, blardigan, 3 pairs KS earrings, 2 KS necklaces, scarves, nightgown, and a new coat. I cannot wait for it all to show up. Dying to try on the booties. LOVE them!
Sara Laverty says
I ordered some new Nikes, a pair of the Kate Spade earrings, and the fur vest from the sale. And now I'm gonna have to go look at the boots because the ones you showed are awesome but I LOOOOOOOVE the ones that Erin is wearing. Omg the color is perfect. I'm not also wanting those bracelets and the scarves you showcased. Dang 😉
Are you planning on showcasing any jeans? I looked at the ones on the site yesterday but may hold off on purchasing till I see your post (if you are – no pressure lol!)
Sheaffer says
Hi Sara! I'm going to Northpark on Tuesday, and I'm hoping to find some jeans!! I'll keep you posted!

I totally panicked at 11 PM and signed up for a card so I could shop. I purchased the pink infinity scarf, the striped tee with lace sleeves and the blardigan (I'm 5'11" so I'll be anxious to see how it fits a tall girl). Nordstrom seriously need to put you on the payroll or give you a commision! Thanks for taking one for the team on this sale!

I would love for you to come back and share with the class! I'm 5'10 and have been wondering how some of these looks would translate on to a taller frame!
The Dietzen's says
My sister in law is 5'11 and got the small/medium in the blardigan. It looked fantastic on her. Actually think it looks best on a taller frame so Im sure you will love it!

Nerd Girl – I will definitely share!

Nerd Girl!!! I got the Blardigan today and it fits great!! I've got long arms and the sleeves were plenty long plus it covers my heiney!! LOVE IT!!! It's sooo soft. My 12 year old BOY felt it, grabbed it and put it on! Ha ha!! I got a large size to make sure the sleeves would be long enough. Hope you can still get one!

I love the last shirt you're wearing, but, alas, it isn't available in my size. I was also at the store yesterday and I bought a French Connection messenger bag on sale and black leather UGG espadrilles, not on sale. I have several pairs of Frye boots (all bought at rock-bottom prices) so didn't feel the need for more. I have the Melissa boots in both black and brown. I love the brown ones but don't care for the black at all. Not quite sure what it is about them that I don't like.
Rachel says
Hi Shaeffer,
What is the fabric like on the short sleeved version of the must have shirt? I'm 4 hours away from a store, so checking it out in person isn't an option for me 🙁 Thanks for all your hard work!
Sheaffer says
Hi Rachel! It's very silky-ish. I don't know any other way to describe it. It is also a bit thicker (I think) than the actual long sleeve must have shirt. Hope this helps!

So I was at the loft yesterday, minding my own business, when you stopped in to see if a dress you have been stalking was on sale. You chatted with a couple of women and mentioned your blog. I was intrigued and checked it out when I got home. Now I am obsessed with your style and your blog. I just ordered my blardigan and have two other shirts on my wish list. Thank you….I think! Paula

My Frye boots have been through two Central Oregon high desert (ice and snow) winters, they look exactly like the day I bought them, only worn in just right if you know what I mean. THE BEST BOOT EVER. So excited for you to get yours Shaeffer! And yes, Nordstrom should seriously put you on their payroll!

This has nothing to do with the sale but I have to say – I've been out of the "world of fashion" for a few years and recently tripped over your blog. Since I've dug out a slew of jewelry that has just been sitting for too long. Today I bought a pair of nude flats 🙂 Your blog has been a wonderful influence on me. Even my husband is noticing the changes – thank you!

I love reading all your post! I was at Nordstroms in Austin when they opened and tried on several of the things you mentioned. And funny story, my daughter's ear hurt that morning too so I scheduled her an appt that afternoon and it was a mild swimmer's ear in her right ear too!!

Went the first day because I needed to exchange some bras I ordered. Ended up getting the Kendra Scott necklace in blush, the Chelsea28 cropped sweater & print camisole to go with some plum pants I already own. Oh, & the 2 bras I went in for! First time with the anniversary sale. Good thing I was short on time. This can be dangerous & habit-forming:-D

I feel like a naughty girl…1 blardigan, 1 short sleeve must have shirt, a Northface 1/2 zip fleece, 2 of the new scarves, 3 Under armour 1/2 zips for my husband and son….wanted a couple more things, but just got a new pair of Toms and pink Converse, and a few things from the Loft sales last week! Self control girl, self control…..

And you will loooove your Fryes. Mine made it through a brutal MN winter thanks to a bit of mink oil.

Okay so I'm a rookie to this sale and I'm learning my lesson… As per your incredible history I knew it would be good so I have saved some 'play money' but I had no idea and will start saving now for next year!! But I did manage to grab the blue blardigan, blue and blush Elle earrings and the Danielle's in emerald, pink and olive scarf you tried on, blush KS necklace, must have leggings in black for myself and a scarf for each 7 sisters in laws and Elle earring for my mom and a pair for my mother in law. Phew… Next year though….. Next year will be better 🙂 Thanks so very much!!!! xo

Hi,
I love reading your blog and those frye boots are amazing. I am not close to a Nordstrom store so would have to order online – can you tell me how those frye boots fit size wise – did you find them true to size? I would love a pair!
