THIS SALE IS EPIC…..and Dancing With The Stars!

Don’t worry Dancing With The Stars peeps….

I will eventually get to the show, but not until we talk more about the MOTHER OF ALL SALES.
I’m not kidding.
This really is THE MOTHER of all sales.
And I must say, from all of the messages I got yesterday, LOTS OF YOU LADIES accepted this challenge from Nordstrom like it was your job.
We were all shopping like we meant it. 🙂

(fyi: I’m having all sorts of blog issues and can’t seem to link directly to some of the finds, so just follow the simple instructions to find the goods! I’m also having trouble getting my posts to appear updated in google reader, so if you have any advice, please leave it in the comments!
I need help!)

I got e-mails, blog comments, and facebook messages from you guys all day yesterday about all of the great things you were finding that were on sale!

I posted this on facebook the very second I found out, but in case you didn’t see….if you want RED or YELLOW, the famous wedges are on sale! 33% off!
Click HERE.
(Thanks for the heads up Laura!)
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THESE WEDGES YET, THE TIME HAS COME.

You know what else is on sale?
Some of the Sequin Bangles! And they are 40% off!
If you haven’t pulled the trigger on these, YOU HAVE NO MORE EXCUSES.
Sorry that I’m yelling at you guys, but I’m a little fired up about this sale.
My favorites are definitely the feathered ones and the blue one with the stones.
Click HERE.
(Thanks Awndrea for pointing these bracelets out!)
I MEAN! HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS BRACELET!
Guessing it is going to sell out lickity split (if it hasn’t already).  Remember, they look great layered, so stock up!

And look at these deals that I found:
Have you been on the hunt for a Michael Kors watch? HERE is a great one for summer.
The silk shirt that I featured on Tuesday has just been marked down!
Again, having trouble linking, so click HERE and type in “Nexx silk shirt sale”.
Totally loving THIS great shift dress.
The graphic pattern is great and the pink, white, and navy color combo is perfect!
And I found THIS swimsuit.
I like the rouching, the neckline, and the lace inserts! I think the combo would be super flattering.
And I know it’s summer, but THIS kelly green trench totally caught my eye.

Also, I have some NEW tips on how to shop the sale the most efficiently!
My #1 TIP:    
USE THE SEARCH BAR BABY!
If you’ve been wanting a Michael Kors bag, click HERE and type in “Michael Kors purse sale” and see ALL OF THE GOODNESS!
Maybe you’re like me and haven’t been able to get Kate Spade out of your head since I did that post! Click HERE and type in “Kate spade sale”.
You will see everything from bags, to wallets, to shoes, to cell phone covers!
Basically just click HERE and type in ANYTHING in the search bar that your little heart desires!
Want to find a swimsuit on sale? Click HERE.

Also, in case you didn’t see the post, here is one of my tips from yesterday:
MAKE SURE YOU NARROW YOUR SEARCH WHILE SHOPPING!
After you click on a category, “SHOES” for example…..
then click on your size……
then click on the amount you are willing to spend (ex. “$50-$10).
It will narrow your search dramatically and allow you to shop faster and smarter!

What are you waiting for?

******************************************

Okay….finally we are on to Dancing With The Stars!
(But I’m warning you, I’ve had one heck of a week, and my recap is totally sub-par.

Okay, I think I’m over-selling it.
It actually kind of bites.
See what I did there?
Now, anything above a blank page is going to look good to you.

The biggest highlight of this week for me? Getting to see Andy Dick again.
Absence has only made this heart grow fonder. 🙂

I think the Final 4 were EXACTLY right on.
These 4 worked so very had and all of them were actually very solid dancers!

Jacoby and Karina / Jive

Aly and Mark / Samba

Kellie and Derek / Quickstep

Zendaya and Val / Samba

After the individual dances,  they all did 45 second consecutive ChaChas and got extra points based on how they placed.

Zendaya got 5 points.
Kellie got 4 points.
Alli got 3 points.
Jacoby got 2 points.

Then it was time for everybody’s freestyles.

Jacoby and Karina’s freestyle:
It was high energy and lots of fun!

Aly and Mark’s freestyle:
VERY creative and required sooo much strength and control. I was impressed.

Kellie and Derek’s freestyle

This dance was UNBELIEVABLE.
All of the other couples had these HUGE production numbers with lights, and smoke, and poles, and background dancers – but Kellie and Derek just had each other and the dance.
It was a bold choice, but it totally paid off.
And it was so SO sweet watching Kellie’s hubby so proud of her!

 Zendaya and Val’s freestyle:  It was good, but just kind of “eh” for me.

On Tuesday night the top 3 also did the instant dance.  No pics or info, sorry.
(I told you…it was a hard week!) 🙂

3rd place goes to: Aly and Mark
2nd place goes to: Jacob and Karina
1st runner up: Zendaya and Val

AND THE WINNERS ARE…

I think she deserved to win.
And I’m sorry, but she is just AS CUTE AS CAN BE.
