It’s been WAYYYYYY too long since our last Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay, but life just got in the way. Actually, it kinda got in the way this time too, so we’re changing things up a bit today to make it work. Shay was at Stonebriar and I was at Northpark (lots of reasons why), but we checked in with each other lots with texts and pictures!
So, today is Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay: Virtual Edition!
She hit up Nordstrom, LOFT, and Banana.
She wanted to hit GAP too, but the air conditioner was out. Buh-bye GAP.
True to form, I stuck with Nordstrom and a tad bit of Anthropologie thrown in
for good measure. What can I say? I’m a creature of habit. And I know what I like.
I of course planned on hitting up LOFT too, but I just ran out of time.
Still, you should check them out. They are having a BANG, BOOM, POW sale with lots of great deals! Tops from $6, Shorts from $20, Dresses from $25, Sandals from $15, Accecesories from $6.
If you want to see some of my favorite LOFT items right now, click HERE to see my post where I try on lots of items that are currently available.
I’ve received lots of great feedback about THIS jumpsuit on the blog, and then I put it on instagram last night and got even more great feedback from girls that have already received theirs and are LOVING it!
For size reference, I was wearing a 2. I probably could have taken a 4 in the chest, but I
But before we start on the shopping trip, I want to share a new find with you.
My little sister texted me earlier this week to tell me about THIS.
You know I LOVE my new NARS tinted moisturizer (click HERE if you want to see my Before and After make-up post where I fell in love with the NARS product), but I love it even more with THIS.
It seriously glides over my skin and makes for a flawless make-up application.
Please disregard my tooth in the 3rd picture. I promise I don’t have a brown tooth.
It must have just been a shadow or something.
I have no idea, but I wasn’t about to make the collage again.
Sometimes you just have to post a picture where it looks like you have a brown tooth.
I think Confucius said that.
I’ve shown the 4 steps for using the blender in the collage below:
1) wet the blender 2) towel dry it a bit 3) glide it over your skin to apply your make-up
4) put it back in it’s container to let it dry.
That’s it. Easy Peasy.
Here are just a couple of reviews on the beauty blender.
is a game changer. Crazy to think something so simple could make such a
giant difference. Better than any brush, sponge, pad, etc for
foundation application. Why, oh why, did I wait so long to purchase?
LOVE the Beauty blender! I started using it about 6 months ago and it
gives you such a flawless finish with out the streaks of a foundation
brush! If you dont have one you need to get one and you’ll see the
difference!
Click HERE for the beauty blender.
OKAY. NOW IT’S TIME TO SHOP.
Let’s kick off the shopping day in the shoe department.
Full disclosure, I spent A LOT of time in the shoe department, but that was partly because of all of the requests I’ve had for me to talk about shoes other than wedges!
So, you asked…and you shall receive!
I present to you: SHOES THAT AREN’T WEDGES!
I literally walked in Nordstrom and saw THESE immediately. OH MY.
Mama likey.
Mama likey a lot.
I MEAN! LOOK AT THEM!
I immediately texted Shay.
Next I hit up the sale table.
I’ve featured THESE dv sandals before, and now they’re on sale!
I like all of the colors, but I’m totally partial to the blue and white stripe.
They are 20% off making them ONLY $27.96! WHAT A DEAL! And look how cute they are!
Click HERE.
I found myself really liking THESE dv studded flat sandals, even though they aren’t really my typical style. The cork bottoms and the studs are cool!
And listen….they come in 5 other colorways INCLUDING LEOPARD!!!!
Click HERE.
Actually, dv has a lot of sandals on sale! Click HERE to see the awesome selection!
Jessica Simpson has THESE on sale.
Only 1 review, but it is GLOWING! I like the sparkly details.
Look at other Jessica Simpson items (clothes and shoes) on sale HERE.
One more styles of shoes ON SALE!
Lots of you girls have e-mailed me about finding a lower heeled sandal that is still a wedge.
THESE could be a great option for you! They come in 5 colorways and are super cute!
I love the look of the wedge with the rope detailing, and the strap is cute too!
There are a lot of lower wedges out there…but I just don’t like a lot of them. These I like! ALOT!
Click HERE for these great sandals under $60!
Okay….more shoes…
I was so excited about these next shoes that I had to text Shay the pic on the left.
See? As evidenced by the size of my eyes, I was excited.
Ugg LEOPARD flip flops HERE. They are ON SALE too for 33% OFF!
These would be PERFECT everyday sandals that would literally go with everything in your closet!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these leopard UGGs.
Click HERE for the black, silver, and leopard studded sandals on the right! Unique and fun!
Click HERE for studded sandals on the left.
(Click HERE for a studded option from Steve Madden that is 50% OFF! Limited sizes left.
And HERE for a pair of featured before that are now 30% OFF!)
Click HERE for the zippered sandals on the right.
They look great in black too! I thought the zippers were so cool!
Look at these fun and brightly colored sandals from UGG!
Click HERE!
You can barely see it in my pictures, but the sole matches the color of the braid. Cute!
These scream “SUMMMMMMERRRRRR!”
Okay…..so I finally left the shoe department.
This next item got me seriously excited.
If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you know I got a black jacket last year that I absolutely adored. However, the stock must have been small, because almost immediately after posting it the very first time it sold out. And it never re-stocked.
And some of you girls felt like it was the jacket that got away. 🙂
Well…this new jacket is the 2014 version of that jacket.
Click HERE for the jacket.
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
In the picture I was wearing it with SOME AWESOME PANTS (that I’m saving for another post, get excited), and THIS tee from James Perse.
The girl that was helping me brought me the tee and I about died when I saw it’s price tag ($95), but oh my goodness it was like butter. Do any of you girls have James Perse tees?
(I was also wearing THESE earrings, THIS necklace, and THIS bracelet.)
The jacket is light weight, it’s a cute fit, and it comes in 3 colors.
As I was taking pictures of myself in the above jacket, a text rolled in from Shay.
And I kid you not, she was in the exact same jacket, but in green. Hilarious.
Okay.
So I also took a quick stroll through the jewelry department.
And I fell in love. Like want to marry these bracelets IN LOVE.
Click HERE for my Stella and Dot gold spikey bracelet. Click HERE for the Nordstrom knock-off.
Here are the ones I’m dying over. I’m pretty OBSESSED.
Click HERE for the turquoise round stone bracelet. So different and unique!
Click HERE for the brown leather beaded snap bracelet. PERFECT for stacking.
Click HERE for the raw stone hematite bracelet. Sooooo pretty!
Are you guys loving these as much as I am????? Because again, OBSESSED.
You guys know I stack my Sequin bracelets all spring and summer long, but I don’t really wear them in fall and winter. I feel like these bracelets below are really year round bracelets, but they are going to be perfect for fall and winter.
Did I mention? OBSESSED.
And are you totally dying over THIS necklace, because you should be.
And guess what. It’s $24.
TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS.
Click HERE.
It’s much prettier in person that it is on the site. The colors are much more vibrant.
And my shirt is French Connection, is ON SALE, and can be found HERE. I love it so much!
I mean, it’s navy stripes. So yeah, I love it.
I finally made myself leave Nordstrom, and I headed to Anthropologie.
Before we get to Anthro, I want to highlight some items I dug around for last night after getting an e-mail about NEW MARKDOWNS AT NORDSTROM!
*
My nude patent flats are on sale again for 20% OFF! Click HERE!
*
Check out THIS metallic Kate Spade wallet that is 33% OFF. I’ve had my eye on it for awhile. My sister has it, and every time she takes it out of her bag I want it.
*
Click HERE for a pair of Kut skinny jeans for under $50.
*
Click HERE for 10 different Michael Kors watches that are all 40% OFF!
*
Click HERE for 5 different pairs of MK moccasins that are between 20-50% off!
*
Y’all…there really are A TON of new sale items.
So I would suggest you just go and type things in the search bar you’ve been interested in to see if anything pops up. For example, if you have been thinking about getting a Kate Spade bag, go to the search bar and just type in “Kate Spade Bag Sale“. Over 40 items will pop up between 33-50% OFF!
When I got to Anthropologie, THIS was the first top I tried on, and it came home with me.
I’ve been wearing THIS Anthro top so much (I’ve already washed it three times and it washes beautifully), that I thought I needed to throw another one in the rotation. It’s loose in the tummy area (which I sometimes enjoy), and fits nicely everywhere. The lace detail is very pretty in person. I actually LOVED the white one, but the body of the white one is a tiny bit see through and you would probably want to wear a cami under it.
Click HERE for the lace top that comes in this green, navy, and white.
It only has 2 reviews so far, but they are both 5 STAR.
Click HERE for this unique tunic top!
It had a very bohemian vibe and I loved it. It’s quite long, but I know that lots of you love really long shirts! Also, see the top on the model HERE to see that it looks good with a front tuck too if you don’t want to wear it long.
Click HERE for this gauzy tee. The color was so pretty and vibrant!
This was the last shirt I tried on, and I thought it was lots of fun, but I forgot to take a picture of the tag (I always do that to make it easy for me to find it online when I get home and for me to remember what size I tried on) so I’m having trouble finding it online.
If anybody finds it, leave the link in the blog comments and then I will update the post with a link!
OHHHHH! And I have a couple of more sales to highlight too!
1)
I got an e-mail alert last night that GiGi New York has a large selection that is 20% OFF!
Click HERE for my exact bag.
Click HERE for all of the bags and accessories included in the sale.
I throw things in easily, I grab things quickly, and I love it.
I always thought I was a girl that really wanted a zipper on a bag, but apparently that’s not the case!
LOVE. THIS. TOTE.
And it really is the perfect size.
Big enough to hold lots of stuff…but not too big that it’s hard to carry or find things in!
Everything is at your fingertips!
Cute AND Functional? Yes, please.
2)
BaubleBar is having a SERIOUS sale!
Click HERE to see a HUGE selection of items that are now $10, $15, $20, or $25!
Like THIS double pave necklace for 515!
Happy Friday everybody!
p.s.
Don’t forget to check out Shay’s Meal Planning Monday HERE.
Here is just one of the recipes featured.
Spicy Baked Chicken Tacos.
HOLY YUM.
Mix and Match Mama says
Excuse me?! How have we never discussed the Beauty Blender? I use one every day of my life! I even keep one in my gym bag! The BEST for applying foundation or tinted moisturizer!! I missed you this week shopping…the good news is that I got to see you MWF this week (twice on Wednesday!) but I still missed you on Tuesday. Love you friend! (Now, I'm off to check out those Anthro tops…loved them!!!)
Tab & Erika says
Love these posts!!! They might be my FAVE!!!
Linda says
Where did you get the striped shirt that you are wearing in the pics in Nordstrom with the Steve Madden shoes and the jewelry? Thanks! I enjoy your blog.
Sheaffer says
Hi Linda! Oops!!!! I added the link to the post where I talk about the necklace! Thanks for catching that!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Natalie says
Ahhh! LOVE this shopping with Shaffer and Shay edition! I'm obsessed with BASICALLY EVERYTHING y'all found!
Question – are you wearing the Vigoss jeans in these pictures? I love the way they fit you, but when I look at them online they look SO skinny so I'm worried they'd be too tight!
Sheaffer says
Hi Natalie! They are Vigoss, but the exact jeans are sold out. I do have the Vigoss skinny jeans and I love those too!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
April Parrish says
What a successful shopping trip! I am ordering the leopard cut out flats NOW!!! Love them! So much fun for summer & fall.
Have a great weekend! 🙂
Samantha says
Buy the Kate Spade wallet!! My awesome mom gifted me it in red for my birthday. Love it!! Perfect size, tons of room but not too big, the list is endless..
Annie Cox says
Love this edition! I have the tunic from Anthro and love it. I've worn it with Vigoss jeans and with shorts. I thought it would be too long with shorts but it actually wasn't. I am almost 5'7 though and don't wear short shorts.
Slightly Askew Designs says
Love the bohemian tunic (duh!) and the mystery shirt too. GREAT picks!!! 🙂
Kelsey Long says
1) LOVE that jumpsuit! I have been dying to get one and that one looks amazing!
2) Great sandal finds! I'm loving the zippered ones!
3) I have been wanting that Stella and Dot bracelet for SO long. I may just have to cave and get it!
Thanks for sharing all of your finds!

Becky says
I have the Jessica Simpson sandals and LOVE them! Glad you found them too. Loved this post. 🙂

Love the posts when you're shopping with Shay. So much fun. Looking forward to your "reader's choice". Would love to see you do some place affordable – Target, Old Navy, Kohls or (gasp) even Wal-Mart (now that would be interesting to see what a Nordstrom shopper could put together there!). I know Nordstrom is "normal" for you & your friends but where I live most moms shop of these other stores. I don't know anyone in real life who shops at (or can afford) Nordstrom!
Another idea – I'd love to see you take a plus-size friend shopping (do you even have a plus-size friend? LOL!) and dress her (again, not at Nordstrom). Although you'd never know it by looking at pictures of you & your friends (who are ALL adorable!), most American moms are not a size small. Help us middle-aged, overweight, mid-western housewives out! 🙂
Narci says
That tunic, the DV sandals, and the Jessica Simpson sandals. They all need to be mine! 🙂

I got a beauty blender 2 weeks ago, its life changing… I love it!
Kathy Olson says
You two girls write the best posts! I loved the whole thing from start to finish!!
Kathy Olson says
P.S. You look stunning in that orange top:)
Sonia says
Of all things, I end up ordering pom-pom tassle! So fun!
Elaine Welte says
Love it all!!!
Darcy says
I just love that you both had on the same jacket at the same time!! I am saving all my shopping money for the Nordstrom anniversary sale! Cannot wait to go crazy in Nordstrom!

Melissa says
So much cute stuff!! What jeans are you wearing in this post? Sorry if you said and I missed it 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi Melissa! They are the Vigoss Tomboy jeans, but they've been sold out for months! Sorry!!!! 🙁
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
sascha L. says
Check Nordstrom Rack, I found a pair there. If they don't have your size in store, they can drop ship now!
Amy Kleis says
Heads up if you have a wide foot those Steve Madden leopard flats "no workie"! But love it all!!!
Mego says
Hi Sheaffer!
What size is your French connection top?
Sheaffer says
Hi Mego! It's a small!!!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Domestic Engineer says
In the picture of you in the blue and white striped top and the long $24 necklace, where did you get the small leopard belt? Also would you wear it with the darling d'orsey leopard pointy toed flats you featured, or just one leopard item at a time? Im hoping the flats go on sale soon!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! That belt was from LOFT a couple of years ago. And I would totally wear it with leopard flats….as long as the rest of my outfit mixed it up!
The flats are new, but if they do go on sale, I will be sure to let everybody know!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Hi Sheaffer! I absolutely LOVE your blog and enjoy waking up to it each day…I was wondering if you had ever considered shopping for more reasonably priced clothes. I love your style and clothes but unfortunately the prices are just not an option for me. Thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! First of all, thank you for the sweet words about the blog! I'm not sure if you follow me on facebook or not, but I actually shared an idea I had last night called Shopping With Sheaffer: READER'S CHOICE! I'm going to do it in July, and if everybody likes it, I will make it a monthly series! I asked the question on facebook where people would want me to shop that I don't normally shop! I got lots of suggestions including the following: Dillard's, JCP, Belk, Kohl's, Banana Republic, J Crew, Express, and Black House White Market. However, a large majority of the people suggested Target and Old Navy! So, I'm thinking that in July I will feature Target and in August I will feature Old Navy! After that , I will ask the question again! Thanks for the question!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Melissa Church says
What size is the orange Anthropologie top you're wearing?
Sheaffer says
Hi Melissa!
The bohemian one (first one featured) is an x-small. The other two are smalls!
Sorry I left that out!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Sheaffer says
Oops Melissa! The green one was actually the first one featured, and it's a small too. The only one that was an x-small was the bohemian one with navy on top and a pattern for the rest of it. Hope this helps!
Sarah Kuykendall says
I live 10 minutes from the Mall of America but I was always too intimidated to shop at Nordstrom. I assumed it was all too pricey for me. You changed my mind and I have since bought kid shoes, pajamas, bras….I love it!
Ralinn Jones says
I love the boho with the blue. The shredded jeans are a perfect compliment as are the wedges.
Lana says
Such cute stuff! You and Shay are so adorable, even when you're virtual shopping. Have a great weekend!
