1)
I mean, the $1000 part. I can’t get over it.
If I won $1,000 to Nordstrom, the practical side of me would want to get lots of little things.
Like 8 scarves, 5 shirts, at least 3 pairs of wedges, some make-up, a couple of pairs of jeans, etc….
But the other side of me?
Well, I’d want to blow it all on one fabulous (and super expensive) bag or a Michele watch.
Whose with me? 😉
2)
When Nordstrom reached out to see if I would like to highlight some of their new spring and summer accessories (I’m guessing somebody saw that that I’m OBSESSED with and won’t stop talking about my MK watch and sequin bracelets) I was all “Um, YEAH!”
And then I found out that by doing so I would also be able to host the giveaway.
And then I was all, “Um, HECK YEAH!!!!”
I’d call that a WIN-WIN.
I’ve got some great news!
For example, if you share the give away with at least 3 friends, you can get
10 ADDITIONAL ENTRIES!
WOW!
Before we get to today’s post, I wanted to post my Outfit Of The Day from Thursday.
I got my embroidered Vigoss jeans in the mail on Wednesday, and I wore them on Thursday.
The outfit was simple, but I loved it!
Click HERE for this super light and textured sweater.
It’s sheer, so you have to wear a tank under it. I am in love with this look, and the sweater is light enough to be worn even on summer nights.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the sweater.
Click HERE for jeans that are 40% OFF right now which makes them UNDER $40!
For size reference, I’m wearing a 27 in the jeans.
Click HERE for leopard flats.
Click HERE to see the post on my signature necklace.
Click HERE for silver MK watch.
Click HERE for the TB wrap bracelet.
I love the color of this bracelet, and I just think it’s cool! I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago. When I opened it, I wasn’t sure about it. But now, I’m sure about it. I LOVE it.
SO….NORDSTROM ACCESSORIES!
My heart goes pitter patter just writing the above words.
I headed to Nordstrom and do what I do best: I tried on like 7,000 things and sorted through it all to find my favorites items; items that I knew would be your favorites too.
How did I know? Because I just do.
And Nordstrom? They know what they are doing when it comes to finishing off an outfit with jewels. And they have a seriously large and varied selection of both styles and price points.
Anyway, I know from your feedback that seeing items in real pictures is often better than seeing them on the website because it gives you a better feel for what it looks like.
So, I took one for the team and headed to Nordstrom and tried on every piece of jewelry that stood still. And because I’m super dedicated ;), I also went ahead and tried on some shoes and some bags. Like I said. I’m super dedicated. 🙂
HOWEVER, before we get started with my try on marathon, I want to highlight a new collaboration that just launched this week.
A launch that I didn’t even know about until this week.
Hello Nordstrom? Hello BaubleBar? Can’t I get a call? A text? Anything?
I would have LOVED a heads up. 🙂
Basically, Bauble Bar and Nordstrom got married and had lots of fabulous babies.
Click HERE for the entire BaubleBar collaboration.
I want the stud earrings NOW and all 3 bracelets YESTERDAY.
I just got stud earrings like the ones above, and I’m wearing the heck out of them! I haven’t worn studs in years, and I was afraid that thy wouldn’t show up on my ears, but I was wrong. They show up and I love them! I’m going to be wearing these babies all summer long. And with THIS pair at $24, I might have to pick up an additional couple of colors! They’re just fun and fresh!
If you have any girlfriends with birthdays coming up, something from this collection would be SO FUN to give!
Scarf Options:
ALL SCARVES HIGHLIGHTED HERE ARE ONLY $18! $18 people!
I do however happen to be wearing the same shirt. Try and act surprised.
Click HERE for the green floral scarf!
After trying on the affordable scarves, I headed over to some bags.
And I tried on several NICE bags that I adored.
You know me, I’m all about balance.
Cheap scarves. Nice bags.
Mandarin MK crossbody (couldn’t find exact bag online, but lots of options HERE) /
Kate Spade taupe crossbody HERE (20% off!)
Rebecca Minkoff “Swing” Shoulder bag HERE
If you have kids, a great crossbody bag is necessary.
If you’re going on vacation, a great crossbody bag is necessary.
I got my first crossbody bag for Christmas this past year, and I have NO IDEA how I didn’t have one before. They are just so dang convenient.
It’s 20% OFF, and it comes 5 other colors.
And HERE is my favorite that I tried on.
Sadly, it’s sold out online in this yellow color, but I do like the “hot red”.
However, check out a super similar bag HERE in lots of hot colors including a fun red, navy, coral, yellow, and hot pink (and it’s 20% OFF!)
AND it has INCREDIBLE reviews!
Yeah. I love this bag.
Now, before we leave bags, I feel it’s my civic duty to report that when I was putting this post together I found LOTS of amazing bags on sale.
Okay….after I wrote everything above, I decided to create a happy little collage.
Tell me it doesn’t make you happy. I dare you.
If you’re interested in one of the bags below, just click on the image!
Just for fun, do it right now, just hover over one of the purses you like below and click on it!
Ponytail holders HERE , also available in natural colors HERE
The sales girl said people go crazy over these, and the reviews supported her statement!
LOVE make-up bag (couldn’t find online…sorry!)
You know how much I LOVE my Stella and Dot renegade bracelets (they were even on my SPRING GO TO list for crying out loud).
Well played Nordstrom, Well played.
but these are a pretty great alternative.
They are GREAT for stacking with watches and other bracelets. They just kind of mold perfectly wherever you need them.
Listen to me. Get them. You will wear them constantly.
And I’m telling you, you need at least 2 colors.
LOVING the STACK RING LOOK right now.
Click HERE for all of the color choices with these Ariella stack rings.
(And cause I know you’re going to ask…the nail color is OPI’s Cajun Shrimp!)
And I think it’s affordable for what it is.
(Please excuse the dirty mirror.)
This would be a GREAT present for Mother’s Day.
Just send this post to your hubby with the subject line “HINT HINT: Mama wants the MK necklace.”
😉
Click HERE for Kendra’s entire line.
Click HERE for the earrings I have on that are 30% OFF RIGHT NOW!
It’s time for all of us that have been on the fence about splurging on these earrings TO GET OFF THE FENCE ALREADY!
Click HERE for the necklace I have on.
Miss Kendra was so smart to bring out all of the hot new neon colors for spring and summer!
SO FUN!
Before we move on…let’s just forget about the earrings for a minute…and let’s talk about my skin.
Click HERE for all jewelry from the Junior’s department…most of it under $30,
and lots of it under $20! I really like lots of their stud earrings!
Click HERE for some luxury sunglasses that are on sale (think Ray-Ban, Prada, and Tom Ford).
I’m not a luxury sunglasses person, but maybe you are!
Click HERE for the colorful DV flip flop with gold accents.
And they also come in 2 additional colorways!
Love.
Adore.
Obsessed.
DYING.
Really, click HERE.
I love the gold strap and how the bright stripes peek out from under my foot! These would go with EVERYTHING! And they are only $39.95!
Here’s the surprising part: even though they were super flat, they were comfortable!
(I didn’t have time to have the guy go get me the shoes, so hence my MK moccasin
on the other foot.)
Click HERE for these Steve Madden floral heeled sandals.
These were 2 sizes too big for me, but I loved them so much I wanted to share them!
They also come in black, nude, and red patent as well as a metallic gold.
I think they’re totally sexy and would be the perfect shoe for so many spring and summer dresses!
Click HERE for all the choices.
Oooh! I just saw there are lots of Sam Edelman items on sale right now!
Click HERE for some sandals, flats, wedges, boots, and heels!
Click HERE for an awesome pair of new wedge flip flops that could be dressy or casual, depending on how you style them.
And before I left the shoe department, I might have bought THESE.
Okay, I did. I bought them. Sorry I’m not sorry.
I plan on wearing them with jeans and my new bright yellow top from Anthro.
The color. The cut out. The heel height.
I love everything about these shoes.
And they come in several colors including black and cognac leather and hot pink patent!
Click HERE.
And then on my way out the door, I found THESE.
And I fell.
I fell hard.
I MEAN GIRLS! FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS ARE BACK!
AND THEY’RE BADDER THAN EVER!
WITH RHINESTONES!
How cute will these be all spring and summer long?!? So bright and fun and playful!
Click HERE.
My silver watch is sold out, but you can find a similar silver one HERE.
OH WAIT!
I just opened a blog comment from a reader from yesterday (thanks Kate!) saying that Hunter boots are 20% off!
IT’S APRIL, WHICH MEANS IT’S RAINY SEASON, WHICH MEANS NOW IS THE TIME TO FINALLY COMMIT TO THESE BABIES!
Here I am in just one of my red Hunter pics.
I can’t even tell you how much I love them. Every single time I wear them they just make me happy.
And I know they seem expensive for a pair of rain boots….And if you’re anything like me you are wondering if you they will be worth it.
TRUST ME ON THIS.
THEY’RE WORTH IT.
yeah. you want ’em. fo sho.
Click HERE for the Pillar Box Red that I have.

They are one of my 10 SPRING GO TOs from my post earlier this week.

And really, they are basically year round shoes (except for the super cold days in the Winter.)

So, that’s it girls!
Who knew that trying on 7,342 accessories could be so exhausting!
Hope you had fun going shopping with me.
Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to check out the additional ways to get some extra entries!
MAXIMIZE YOUR CHANCES LADIES!

Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh! Sheaffer! There is just toooooooooo much to comment about! First, your skin in that picture looked so glowy. It must be because you're standing in Nordstrom, right? When I go to a Michael Buble concert, my skin gets all glowy and excited too! And I need those jeans in the first picture, I need those floral and red sandals, I need those stack rings, I need those new Bauble Bar pieces and right now, I'm so excited and about to burst that I probably need a Xanax.
Erica Gammon says
Love me a crossbody bag and I am loving those sequin bracelets too!!! My vote for the MK watch/arm party is for the one on the right ? Love.It.
koolady says
Love all the bracelets ! I mean ALL the bracelets oh what could I buy!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness…there are SOOOO many things I need in this post!!! Now if only I could convince the hubby 😉 LOL! My vote for the MK watch is the one on the left.
am butler says
Thanks for the polish color,you're Right ,Was wondering!!;;
Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
This post is SO perfect!! Since I'm pretty sure my chances of winning the $1,000 are pretty slim :), for my birthday, I asked for a Nordstrom's GC. Not $1000 mind you. But something. So now I'm in a quandry — nice MK purse on sale or a mix of shoes & bracelets. EEEEK. I need you to take me shopping. Hey – that should be a giveaway sometime – a shopping experience with Sheaffer 🙂 Oh, and I vote RIGHT!
Tab & Erika says
Gosh!!! There was so much goodness in that post I'm not sure where to begin!!! First…I bought my first AND second crossbody bags this week!! I absolutely LOVE those green stud earrings!!! You were wearing them last night and I was thinking, "How can I get Sheaffer and those earrings into my car AND how can I make it look like my car ate them both again??" This was such a fun post!!! I LOVE your hair longer!! I kept getting sidetracked from the accessories…I'd find myself thinking great thoughts about your hair!
Mary says
I like the watch on the right….love the mixed metals!
Anonymous says
The MK watch on the right. It looks better against your skin. Is that possible? I just added the renegade bracelet's cousin to my shopping cart…and the Kendra Scott earrings….in multiple colors. Andi
SarahN says
I vote for the watch on the left! It's totally different from your other one 🙂
Kathy Olson says
I like the one on the right. Does sharing your contest on my fb page qualify as sharing with 3 friends?
Sheaffer says
Yes Kathy! Good luck!
Amy Dalon says
I did that, too- shared your blog and Facebook page on Facebook:)
April Parrish says
You really should be like the CEO of Nordstrom!!!! 🙂
I am in love with those Jessica Simpson heels! Love the color. Please hurry and create an outfit with them. Can't wait to see it because I think I might NEED them too!
I like the watch on the right because I have the same watch in gold! Keep us posted on which you purchase.
Have a great weekend!
Dani @ Adventures of a Pharm Girl says
Thanks so much for hosting the give away Sheaffer! $1000 is more than I make in a year since Im in grad school hehe. And you have to get both watches. You just have too 🙂
Have a great weekend!
x Dani
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
Girl, you are looking GOOD!!! And so is your mani! Love all those great finds…I have those Steve Madden floral sandals…which I adore…but the strap barely goes around my beefy ankle?!?
Anonymous says
Hi Sheaffer! Thanks for the great post…so much prettiness! Finished entering in the contest and sharing the good news! I will have a hard time choosing between buying lots of things or one or two big ticket items when I win! haha! And I vote for the watch on the right but both are gorgeous!

Julianne says
Sheaffer ~ really loved this post! I'm an almost 50 year old fashionista who now LOVES the Vigoss jeans. Who knew I could still shop in the Junior department?? 🙂 I'm off to order the ones you're sporting in this post right now.
Oh, and the watch on the right is the way to go! Blessings on ya, you poor tired shopper.
Amy Kleis says
I would have never layered as many bracelets until I saw how cute it looks on you and I get compliments all the time. Love the floral heels, I saw them and picked them up and even said how cute they were, but didn't try em on, cuz I thought I have nowhere to wear them, but they looked cute even with your jeans on. Happy Friday! I like the one on the right, smaller band….the one on the right looks like your silver one.
Corinne says
I am so excited! I just have to share… I just made my first ever Nordstrom purchase! It's also my first ever PTMT purchase – those embroidered Vigoss jeans. I hate to spend money on myself (when it's just so much more fun to buy dresses for my daughter!), but for that price…. it would be silly not to! You made them look so cute. These will be my first Vigoss jeans AND my first skinny jeans. Shew! That's a lot of firsts early in the morning!

Left. Like the all gold vs. mixed metal since you already have the all silver.
Leiah says
LOVE this post! Oh my gosh do I get excited with posts like this! I need everything. I vote for the watch on the left 🙂
Becky Norton says
Watch on the left! 🙂
Alexis says
Ahhh! SO many pretty things to look at!!! Thank you for continuously feeding my Nordstrom addiction. I just finished college and wanted to treat myself to some Tory Burch flats since Nordstrom is price matching, but I'm thinking I might want to buy a few nice things instead of splurging…although, there are some bags in your post I'd love to splurge on. Anyway, super excited for BaubleBar + Nordstrom 🙂 Thanks again for taking the time to do all of this!
Alexis says
Oh and I left out – Happy belated 29th 😉 Birthday!
Amanda & Jerrod Carpenter says
Get the watch on the left! I have a tortoise/gold MK watch and wear it every single day!!!!
Liz/ says
OMGosh, I just love your blog…you are so hilarious….you could barely even close out your post without adding more exciting news that you had received!!! Such great pieces highlighted in this post! And your skin looks Ahhhmazing in that picture, well really I think it always looks Ahhhmazing but especially right there and I would go with the watch on the right…it is way more you than the one on the left!!! Happy Friday! Oh and Happy Happy "29th" Birthday to you (a day early I believe)!!! 🙂
Jolene Fleck says
Loved this blog post! I finally splurged and bought a black pair of Hunter Boots..I can't wait to wear them. Also, I vote for the watch on the left.
Rob & Michelle Eberly Family says
I vote the watch in the left. I just got a pair of the putty Callisto wedges but they are a bit too big but I am afraid the next size down will be too small. Do you feel the straps stretch with time because if so, I have to go down a size? Thanks. This is an exciting giveaway. Fingers crossed.
Michelle Lichte says
Girl – you are good for my soul! I vote the watch on the left. Kind of over having two tone watches, plus you mix enough tones in with other bracelets, etc. My Nordstrom shopping cart overfloweth. Thank you (?).
xoxoxo
Holly says
Ok this really needs to stop 🙂 I have 14 things in my cart after reading this post! I vote for the watch on the right. I like the "real numbers".
Kim Oliver says
I ordered your favorite Putty Wedge yesterday! I'm expecting them to be so comfy and fabulous that I will want to sleep in them! I'm excited!
This Gingers Journey says
So much goodness in one post!!! I pretty much need at least one of everything! GAH!
My vote goes for the watch on the right 🙂
VSummers says
My watch vote is for the one on the right!!! I have it and LOVE IT!! Two tone is so versatile! 🙂
Katy says
My mind just exploded. I need about ten things right now or else I won't stop thinking about them. Thank you for alerting us to all the sale items. Love everything!
Keisha Dawson says
My heart has been set on the Green Michael Kors Jet Set Tote for a few months now, but I am a bit of a purse hoarder, so I was having a hard time justifying. My sweet hubby told me to grab it while it was on sale today. Thanks so much for posting the handbag sale! I'm so excited!
Alisha Wilson says
I vote Right! I have a silver MK and a Gold MK and wear both of them equally. I think both is a MUST! By the way…great accessories post today! Loved everything 🙂
Sabrina says
I love the watch on the left!! And this post–OMG!! I'm with Shay–everything about this post has me so excited!!!
Monica C says
Watch on the left! Super cute!
Christy @ The Swafford Spot says
Great post! I love the white strap flip flops and I need a cross body bag in every neon color available! As far as the watch goes I would get the one on the right. It really pops!
Jenny says
The watch on the left!!
Natalie says
Watch on the right!! I love your blog so much–I've been reading for a while and have gotten several things on your recommendation!! Thanks for writing! Oh, and your skin looks FABULOUS in that picture!
Terra says
Oh go for the gold watch on right. I have it in solid gold and wear it everyday and it still makes me smile when I look at it. You will LOVE it!
Sharon A says
I love both watches!! But I have to say… the one on the LEFT caught my eye and stood out the most for some reason. Maybe it's the big roman numerals… love it!! 🙂 I just bought a two-toned MK watch and LOVE IT… can wear with both my gold and silver jewelry… although it appears it's okay to mix metals, right? So I may just have to get a gold one next time (birthday perhaps?!). Love this post – it is FULL of goodies! Got some Kendra earrings today too… (you are an enabler!) 🙂
Michelle Ragsdale says
First Happy Birthday tomorrow! i'm also turning that same age next Sunday ;)….glad I found your blog, thanks to mix and mama….you two make me smile daily…fun post…love the Kendra Scott jewelry especially!
Melissa Chambers says
I like the watch on the left!
Amanda Bajin says
Awesome post Pretty Lady! Thank you for taking your readers shopping with you and my goodness, the sales are a steal!!! 🙂 My BFF and I both picked up the "Romy" wedge sandals two weeks ago on sale. I couldn't decide and got the black and nude!!! What a great thong. Can't wait for the weather in DC to feel like spring and #PTMT those bad boys!!! Happy Weekend. 🙂
Jackie T. says
Oh my gosh, your post today has me on overload and I'm down with a bad case of the wants right now!
Love the watch on the left…I like the roman numerals…however you can't go wrong with either!
Cathy F says
I pick the watch on the right. Fun post! Love accessories!
StacyHudson says
The watch on the left…hands down! What a great post…thank you for taking one for the team and DRAGGING yourself to Nordstrom and suffering thru trying on all those accessories and bags! I ordered the Vigoss embroidered jeans tonight. My question to you is…what did you come home with (other than the heels)?
Dah says
Loving Nordstrom's now – tyvm you fashion friend!
Tiffany {A Touch of Grace} says
Love those floral heels! Absolutely gorg! You really outdid yourself this time Sheaffer. Love the stacking bracelets! And I like the watch on the left better. Such a great post!
Catherine says
Left, left, left, left, LEFT. So much that I believe I need it, too.
Catherine says
Did I mention left? =) Seriously, I feel like my strong opinion needs an explanation. I like the wider band and that it is all gold instead of two-toned. You already have the silver (which I have in gold and wear it almost every day), so you should go for all gold!
WotAGal says
Left!
Nikki says
I finally pulled the trigger on Hunter boots…thanks to you and Kate for the heads-up that they're 20% off. I will dance in the rain while it knocks the pollen out of our trees!
Narci says
Listen, I LOVE accessories. I would like one of each! I think the Kendra Scott jewelry is my favorite. Love!!
Andrea says
Happy Birthday! Love your blog! How long does it take you to publish a post?! You work soo hard! Thanks for all of your research! Do you get a lot of stares when you take all of those pictures at Nordstrom??! Or maybe everyone knows you by now? You should get employee discounts from there, if they offer them! Enjoy your day!
Laura says
Thx! 😉
Cindy @ Rock Star Chocolates and Confections says
Left watch!
AND — found that pendant online! 🙂

Lana says
Hope you had an amazing birthday! Love, love, loved this post. The closest Nordstrom is 30 minutes away but I'm off for a shopping spree on Thursday and now I have a list thanks to you! I personally loved the watch on the right. Thanks for all the great accessory tips.
Lora G says
LEFT 🙂 You should look into luxury sunglasses, totally worth it in my opinion, but there's definitely a place for cheapy's too. Great post, as usual!
Gwen says
OH MY GOODNESS! I ordered the watch on the left for myself, and it arrived today. This is the most beautiful watch I have ever owned and I LOVE it. I am usually a silver-only person, but I thought I'd give it a shot since the price was great and I am so happy I did.
