It’s AWESOME!
Hey Ladies!
Okay, before we get into today’s post, there are couple of things I want to say.
I hadn’t originally planned this, but this week is going to be all Nordstrom again. And that’s just how it is. 😉 But I promise you it’s going to be all great stuff (I’ll give you a run down in a minute).
But next week it will be different!
Originally I had 2 Nordstrom posts scheduled for this week since it’s the last week of the sale, but then I also had my Shopping With Sheaffer: Reader’s Choice scheduled.
Well, that got bumped.
But no worries, next week you will get to go along with me to shop at Target!!!!!!
I’m going this weekend, and my idea is to put an outfit together from head to toe for $100!
It should be fun!
Next week you will also see a top that I’ve fallen in love with from
Piperlime, as well as some amazing jewelry from Accessory Concierge, and I’ll be participating in my friend’s Friday Favorites link up!
So what does this week look like?
*
I’m highlighting kids shoes today (but even if you don’t have a kid, make sure you read to the end of the post for some Score Report finds!)
*
On Wednesday it’s going to be Christmas in July!
I will highlight GREAT gift ideas found in the Anniversary Sale in case any of you want to start your Christmas shopping early.
I did this last year for the first time and got some really great feedback from y’all so I thought it made sense to do it again!
*
Friday is the Anniversary Sale SCORE REPORT.
And y’all.
It’s taken me HOURS to save all of your pics, but it’s been so much fun interacting with everybody and seeing what all of you have found!
On Friday you will get to see lots of pics (not all of them, there are just too dang many), AND the winner will be announced. I want the winner to have time to use the $250 Nordstrom card to shop while the sale is still going on! WooHoo!
But remember….at the end of today’s post you’re going to get to see some of the score reports I’ve received so far that I’ve loved!
Okay. Let’s get on with today!
*******************************************************************
Part 1 of my Kids Shoe post is HERE.
And today is Part II!
Luckily, the Anniversary Sale selection and prices makes it WAY easier.
In fact, you might even have some fun getting your kids some new kicks!
#whatintheworldwasithinking
Here’s the deal, I wasn’t thinking.
We weren’t going to shop, we were just going to eat at the food court, play at the playground, and then head to the Lego store with our friends.
(Let’s just move right over that “kindergarten” word. If I think about it too long my bottom lip might start to quiver.)
Carter never really cares that much about his clothes, but he actually gets excited about a new pair of shoes! And listen, comfort is key with him. If they aren’t comfy, the little man won’t wear them.
#mamagetsit
He did make a serious mad dash for THESE babies.
They just spoke to him I guess.
Sadly, they didn’t have his size. Wink Wink.
#vroomvroom
(For the record, I totally would have bought these for him at 3. But at almost 6, I’m thinking no.)
He then saw THESE. And we both really liked them!
But they really didn’t have his size. Sigh.
With C’s help, we ended up with THESE (the same that we ended up getting for Camden, Candace’s son). I love them!
I like that grey is the base color, but the red and blue accents amp up the fun factor.
And they have veclro.
Amen.
And now you get to see the precious pics Candace sent me of her boys in their new kicks! Thanks for sending them Candace!
(If you didn’t get a chance to see last weeks post about Candace, you need to make sure you do! Click HERE for a little introduction to Candace and to read about how she always keeps HOPE alive, and click HERE to follow along with us on Candace’s $1,000 shopping spree!)
Look how cute the boys are!

I love that he wanted to show that they “make him jump higher”! 😉 Click HERE.
Precious precious boy. Love him! Click HERE for Camden’s sneaks.
If you are interested in the shirts the boys are wearing, just wait till you read the back of them.
Brace yourself, because if you’re like me, you’re going to get all chocked up when you do.
Click HERE for this shirt.
And then wipe your eyes and clear that lump out of your throat.
And then order a shirt for any kiddos in your life that have a little super hero inside them.
I. LOVE. THIS. SHIRT.
Okay, back to the shoe post.
(Although I must say, I like the ones he ended up picking even better! The ones he chose are more big kiddish.)
They come in toddler, little kid, and big kid.

And to make it easy on you, I used this handy dandy little tool to highlight many of the shoes I’ve already talked about, plus a few new ones!
BEFORE YOU GO LADIES…
Another SCORE REPORT PREVIEW!!!!!
I’m going to share a handful of pics that have caught my eye as I’ve been sorting through all of your Score Report Entries (fyi, I have over 400 pictures saved right now)!
When I saved pictures, I only saved them by category and the name of the object that was sent in.
So, I won’t be saying names because I didn’t save the names.
First up, this DARLING girl.
I might not know her name, but I do know that she is wearing the dark Kut from the Kloth dark jeans and that they look FABULOUS on her.
Best I can tell, she’s wearing THIS pair and she just cuffed them. Genius!
Click HERE for the jeans.
$52.90 / After Sale $79.50
Click HERE for all Kut items available in the anniversary sale.
Same darling reader, click HERE for her skinny cargo pants.
These are the same ones I highlighted and loved. I had to order a size up in these.
I am normally a size 5 in juniors, but the size 7 was better for me in these pants.
Click HERE for the pants.
$35.90 / After Sale $54
Meow. Check out THESE sassy heels.
I’ve actually received several e-mails about these heels, and everybody loves them!
Click HERE for these leopard beauties!
$59.90 / After Sale $89.90
Another super cute reader.
She is wearing Zella work-out gear, which I hear is amazing.
I might consider getting some Zella myself if I worked out more than like 6 weeks a year. 😉
Click HERE for these UGG booties that come in this leather as well as in a water resistant suede.
$129.90 / After Sale $184.95
And look at this cute duster!
This reader said it’s the first one she’s ever purchased, but she loves it!
Hers is sold out, but they do have THIS one still. It’s brown and teal and looks really great on the model with a white tee and taupe booties!
$37.90/ After Sale $58.
Click HERE
And ya’ll. This next picture got me.
The sweater, the leggings, the boots.
Sigh.
ALL of it is just soo good. This lady knows what she’s doing!
Click HERE for the zip hem sweater that is perfect for leggings!
The detailing on this is so great!
$49.90 / After Sale $79
Click HERE for the boots!!!!!
$111.90 / After Sale $159.95
These boots have a small number of reviews, but they are all great.
Most do recommend to size up a 1/2 size.
I think these boots would look great with jeans and a tee…but I think they would look just as great with a dress! They just seem super versatile!
I’m guessing that she might be wearing THESE leggings.
And if she’s not, she should be.
801 near perfect reviews.
I wear a small in them.
That’s it for the Score Report Preview for today. You girls have found some really great stuff that I hadn’t found!
Now before you go, I want to leave you with one thing.
Look at this precious girl.
Her name is Meghan and she sent me the following e-mail this weekend:
My name is Meghan Hancock, and I am from North
Carolina. I am 22 years old, and I am in love with your blog. I am a
graduate student about to enter the “real world” as a Physician
Assistant in one year, and your blog has given me so many ideas for
developing my young, but professional business casual wardrobe. I too
was stalking this Lou and Grey dress, and when I read from your post it
was 1/2 off, I made the jump for it! I love it!! …
I
was so touched by your post about Candace yesterday, and my heart feels
so compelled to ask if there is anyway I can help you spoil these
inspirational moms, who are role models that I hope to live up to when I
someday have children of my own. Do you need donations? I would love to
help in anyway possible!
Have a blessed day, and keep doing what you’re doing! …
Gratefully!
Meghan Hancock
Thank you Meghan!
You are just too sweet! And Meghan is not the only one who has asked me about helping honor future special mamas. I told you, you girls who read this blog are amazing.
I love that you love to lift each other up!
So, I’m going to put my thinking cap on.
I’m all about the community that is being created here, and if we can use this blog to do some good, let’s do it!!!!!!
I’ll be trying to think of ideas, but if you have any ideas, please leave them in the comments!
Love you girls!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Goodness gracious! I was going to comment on how cute Carter looked holding those shoes (adorable!) and then I was going to tell you that you have some fabulous readers who look stunning in their goodies…but honestly, Camden and Carson in their shirts is my favorite part :). I love those shirts. So sweet!
Kimm Atwood says
Love ALL of this! And I would love to help the next time you spoil mama! Happy monday
Tab & Erika says
Sheaffer…you're cute! But those kids are REALLY cute!! 🙂 Loved seeing all of those pictures!!
Sara and Steve says
Hi Sheaffer!
Just curious….I ordered some things from the sale and I need different sizes but they are now sold out. Will I be able to even exchange these items if they restock after the sale?
Hannah Myer says
I had the same issue, and I was told that I can wait until the item is restocked and exchange it later in the season, even after the sale is over. 🙂
Sara and Steve says
Great! Thank you:)
Lindsay says
Oh my gosh, the cuteness of all those kids is off the charts!!! How adorable are they? Maybe Nordy's will need some new shoe models and come a callin'!! I showed my 8 year old son the picture of me that you put on here today (thank you by the way!)…thinking he would think it was so awesome that his mom was on the internet. First thing out of his mouth, "Oh my gosh, your smile is horrible in that picture." HAHA #heisright
Sarah Kuykendall says
Some how I didn't even think of shopping in the shoe dept for my kids. I found a great deal on shoes for my son's first year of preschool. He's at the age where he is starting to get picky about what he wears, too. I can't wait for more Nordstrom finds this week!
SarahN says
What a fun post! I was just reading along, minding my own business, when all of a sudden BAM! There's a pic of my best girl! Too fun. Can't wait to show her 🙂 it's a bummer her shoes are sold out because she LOVES them! Have a great day!
Stephanie says
The link for the little boys shirts isn't working for me? I really would love to order one!
Sheaffer says
Hi Stephanie! Thank you SO MUCH for letting me know! I fixed it in the link right above the picture of the back of the shirt!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Clatk says
I have a little girl with 2 chronic conditions and had INSTANT tears when I saw the back of the Superhero shirt. It is so true! She is only 2, but she is one of the bravest people I have ever met. Thanks for sharing Camden and his sweet family's story!
Anna P says
Thanks for posting about kids shoes! I have been looking for some shoes for my son for school. Will definitely have to check some of these out!
Candace says
LOVE seeing my sweet boys on your post!! They are digging their new kicks! Awesome! Thank you to the moon and back! For real, friend! All the goodies…all the links and posts to our page…LOTS of laughs and encouragement. You have been so precious to love on me and my family with your big ole heart and amazing sense of humor and fabulous sense of style! Thanks for sharing your readers (aka cheerleaders) with me!!
With much love and gratitude to you, sweet lady!!
Candace
Sheaffer says
It has been such a joy Candace! I have loved every single second of it!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Your readers look amazing and are so making me wish it wasn't 100 degrees right now! SO ready for some cute fall fashions!
Meghan Hancock says
So honored to be in your post Sheaffer! You seriously made my week! Happy Monday 🙂

Bradyn Cole says
I LOVE the children's t-shirts. Thank-you for posting the link and for sharing Candace's story. I'm also an SLP who specialized in working with families of children with Autism before taking a break from work when my little girl was diagnosed with brain cancer at 14 months of age. Fortunately, my SLP background helped me help my little girl who is a thriving 4 1/2 year old super hero. I'm excited to be able to support Candace's organization by purchasing some t-shirts for some amazing kiddos in my life.
Sheaffer says
Hi Bradyn! Wow, your comment really touched me. I cannot even imagine the fear you must have had for your sweet girl. SO AMAZING that she is a thriving 4 1/2 year old today! And yes…A SUPER HERO!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, and THANK YOU for supporting Candace and her family with this new venture!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Candace says
Oh Bradyn!! Thank you so much for your sweet support! Hard to wrap my brain around what you must have gone through. LOVE hearing how your little super hero conquered cancer!! So very amazing!! No doubt that you are close friends with HOPE, eh?! =) Blessings to you and your family!
Bradyn Cole says
Candace and Sheaffer, Thank-you for your kind words. I'm often reminded of the quote, "Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." The best thing that we can all do is to be supportive of one another and to maintain HOPE, that beautiful friend of ours. Candace, I posted a link to your t-shirts on my Facebook page. I hope that it helps to generate sales and awareness. : )
Love to both of you,
Laurie Ann (Caelin and Bradyn's mom)

Lindsay B says
Have you heard of Crowd Tilt? That would be an easy way for people to donate and keep track. Check it out!
Love you blog, obviously.
Sheaffer says
I'll check it out Lindsay! Thank you!

Hi Sheaffer! Love your blog! You're hilarious and your little son is adorable!!!
Daily Express says
Love seeing the reader photos. They're all so cute (now I want to cut my hair like the first girl!) and it's always helpful to see how things fit on different body types. Also….you mentioned that you are doing a Friday Favorites linkup this Friday. Does that mean you will not be doing Pin-spired? (It will be August 1 on Friday…eek.) Thanks Sheaffer!
Gina — On the Daily Express
Sheaffer says
Hey there! The Pinspired link up is going to be the following Monday, August 4th. Thanks for asking Gina!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Daily Express says
Perfect, I will plan accordingly. 🙂 Thanks so much for the reply!
MikiT says
I'm SO looking forward to your posts after the NORDSTROM sale.
Sheaffer says
Me too Miki! I'm already working on them! August 4th is Pinspired and August 6th is Shopping with Sheaffer Target Edition! It should be fun! And then the next week is my blog birthday week, and there is going to be all sorts of fun and AWESOME giveaways!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
