After 3 long years I finally made it back to the West Coast & of course couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay in @theramblermotel in Chula Vista, CA. 

And I’m a sucker for colorful, kitschy hotel with a really good coffee shop in the lobby (that happens to be an arcade) so staying here was a no brainer for me 🌈

One of my most asked questions I get about skincare treatments is “How do you know what to book?” with Monika you don’t have to worry about booking the “wrong facial” you can book a treatment by time & she will take care of the rest when she accesses your skin!

Monika customized a 60 minute @biologique_recherche_usa treatment for me that gently exfoliated, plumped fine lines, brightened and smoothed my skin texture 😍 the perfect way to start the New Year!

Have you gotten your New Year, New You facial yet?

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On Session

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On Session The Westchester Mall

Nordstrom at The Westchester is seriously the BEST! They let me have a sneak peek of the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale before I left for vacation because they knew I wouldn’t be in the country when it kicked off today and let me tell you it’s GOOD! I tried on a LOT (like 2 hours worth of clothes) and about 75% of them are now on my wishlist! I didn’t want to wait until I shopped and took proper photos of everything I got so instead I thought a 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On Session right from the dressing room of Nordstrom at The Westchester would be perfect for the first day of the sale!

So scroll through to see everything I tried on and what I thought about each piece! I also took a ton of videos that will be up on Instagram stories today so make sure to head over there and check those out (I’ll create a 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Instagram Highlight too!)

Topshop Printed Midi Skirt 2018 Nordstom Anniversary Sale Try On Session The Westchester MallTopshop Printed Midi Skirt – Sale Price $49.90 (After Sale $75.00)

My second favorite piece of the sale (scroll down to find out my favorite) is this skirt! I’ve been SO into flirty midi skirts and this one takes the cake! I love the Fall colors and fun hem line! I swear when I put on a fun skirt I’m instantly in a better mood!  (I’m wearing a size US 10, but I’m probably going to size down to a US 8 when I buy it)

IMG_3396.jpgTopshop Bubble Satin Wrap Dress – Sale Price $39.90 (After Sale $60) *Comes in 2 Colors*

OMG this is it! The best item of the whole sale (according to me at least). The fit is a dream, the color is perfect and it’s SO FREAKING FLATTERING! I’m definitely picking it up in red, and I honestly love it so much I might get it in black too! I mean look at the smile on my face, I literally didn’t want to take it off in the dressing room!

Halogen Removable Bow DressHalogen Removable Bow Dress – Sale Price $72.90 (After Sale $109.00)

This dress is the definition of Fall perfection! The color, the material, the print, the everything! And it would look great with bare legs and strappy sandals now, and tights or OTK boots later! It comes with a bow neck tie, but I liked it better without it!

IMG_3333.jpgBP. Ruffled Floral Print Jumpsuit – Sale Price $42.90 (After Sale $65.00)

This jumpsuit is so cute! The fit is great, the peplum detail is super cute and it’s perfect for now and later once it gets cold! It’s inexpensive so if you’re looking for something fun to pick up from the sale this is it!

Topshop Cord Mini SkirtTopshop Cord Mini Skirt – Sale Price $39.90 (After Sale $60.00)
Topshop Colorblock Knit Pullover – Sale Price $44.90 (After Sale $68.00)

This look is SO out of my comfort zone! I never ever wear short skirts, let along mini skirts, but I’m a sucker for corduroy and this burnt orange color and ended up loving this whole look! If this doesn’t scream Fall, then I don’t know what does! (I’m wearing a size 10 in both the skirt and top)

IMG_3365.jpgJoie Asymmetrical Dotted Chiffon Dress – Sale Price $265.90 (After Sale $398)

IMG_3412.jpgAlice + Olivia Delainia Silver Long Sleeve Crop Top – Sale Price $129.90 (After Sale $195)
Rebecca Taylor Pleated Faux Leather Skirt – Sale Price $283.90 (After Sale $425)

(I’m wearing a Large in the top and a size 8 in the skirt)

IMG_3417-2.jpgAvec Les Filles Faux Shearling Biker Jacket – Sale Price $129.90 (After Sale $199.00) *Comes in 2 colors*

IMG_3419-3.jpgTed Baker London Lizia Biker Jacket – Sale Price $397.90 (After Sale $595.00)
Halogen Pleat Detail Midi Skirt – Sale Price $45.90 (After Sale $69)

This jacket is freaking amazing! I never thought I needed a pink leather moto jacket, but leave it up to Ted Baker to make me want it! As for this skirt, it’s a no for me. It so pretty in person and the color is amazing, but it fits me weird in the hips, so if you’re pear shaped like me you probably want to skip this one. (I’m wearing a size 3 in the jacket and an 8 in the skirt)

IMG_3425.jpgBP. Lace Trim Satin Camisole – Sale Price $22.90 (After Sale $35.00) *Comes in 4 Colors*
Good American Good Legs High Waist Skinny Jeans – Sale Price $99.90 (After Sale $149.00)

THE perfect top and THE perfect jeans! This top is perfect for layering and I definitely plan on picking it up in a couple colors. My Fall uniform is usually a sweater, cami and jeans so you better believe these two will be in constant rotation. And I’m SO impressed with these jeans. They are just the right about of stretch and SO flattering! (I’m wearing a Medium in the top and 10 in the jeans)

IMG_3430.jpgTed Baker London Lizia Biker Jacket – Sale Price $397.90 (After Sale $595.00)

IMG_3438.jpgFRAME Le High Ankle Skinny Jeans – Sale Price $143.90 (After Sale $215.00)

While this denim feels amazing on, it was a little too stretchy for me. I don’t know if sizing down would’ve helped, but if you’re into super stretchy (and soft) denim then these are for you! (I’m wearing a size 31)

IMG_3443-2.jpgMadewell Courier Stripe Button Back Shirt – Sale Price $45.90 (After Sale $69.50)

(I’m wearing a Medium)

IMG_3449-2.jpgBP. Textured Stitch V-Neck Pullover – Sale Price $25.90 (After Sale $39.00) *Comes in 6 colors*
Good American Good Legs High Waist Skinny Jeans – Sale Price $99.90 (After Sale $149.00)

This is one of those tops that literally EVERYONE will pick up from the sale. It’s suppose to be V-Neck, but when I put it on it fell off my shoulders and I’m kind of just left it that way! (I’m wearing a Medium in the top and 10 in the jeans)

IMG_3455.jpgChloe & Katie Bell Sleeve Wrap Top – Sale Price $29.90 (After Sale $45)

I loved this retro silhouette and print so much I needed to try it on and I was pleasantly surprised how flattering it was! (I’m wearing a Large)

IMG_3462.jpgTheory L Lamb Suede Moto Jacket – Sale Price $664.90 (After Sale $995.00)

I know what you’re thinking, she’s fucking crazy for including a $600+ jacket in this post, but honestly the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is all about scoring biggest ticket items at a super discounted price and it doesn’t get more discounted than this! Plus how amazing is this jacket?!? The color in the photo doesn’t even do it justice, it’s just perfect! (I’m wearing a Large)

IMG_3473.jpgTahari Nicky Oversize Coat – Sale Price $179.90 (After Sale $278.00)

Every single year one of these Tahari Coats is included in the sale for a reason, because it’s THAT good! It’s super flattering, perfect for a mild Winter day and so chic! (I’m wearing a Medium)

Free People Saturday Morning Cardigan 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try On SessionFree People Saturday Morning Cardigan – Sale Price $98.90 (After Sale $148) *Comes in 3 Colors*

Free People kills it in a lot of departments, but most of all in the cozy, oversized sweater one and this open knit version is perfect! It’s see it here, but there’s better photos on the website and a video on my Instagram stories! (I’m wearing a size M/L)

Madewell Ryder CardiganMadewell Ryder Cardigan – Sale Price $64.90 (After Sale $98.00) *Comes in 4 Colors*

Every year I pick up one inexpensive cardigan for Fall and Winter and this is it this year! I was initially drawn to the color and the fit is perfect + you can’t beat that price! (I’m wearing a Medium)

IMG_3467.jpgVince Wool & Cashmere Split Hem Cardigan – Sale Price $264.90 (After Sale $395.00)

OMG this sweater is PERFECT! Honestly I can’t imagine anything more perfect. Yes it’s an investment piece, but if you live in sweaters like this all Fall and Winter like I do it’s worth it, plus IT’S CASHMERE. Trust me, the second you put it on you won’t want to take it off! (I’m wearing a Medium)

I didn’t get to check out the other departments in the store, so next Friday I’m going to do another post with my 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks AND I’ll be hosting a giveaway for a gift card so hopefully you can pick up some of your favorites! And as always the items in this sale tend to go out of stock FAST! So if you see something you like I highly suggest picking it up as soon as you can! AND if you’re too impatient to wait for things to arrive in the mail you can shop online and pick up in store! If you’re in the Tri-State area, The Westchester offers curb side pick up, I can’t imagine it gets better than that!

    I definitely love so many of these pieces! Probably going to grab the topshop sweater and maybe the bp thermal and the lace tank! They’re all crazy good! I’ve never shopped the Nordstrom sale before, but these pics have me excited!
