#NSALE PICKS ARE HERE!

The Nordstrom Annual Sale kicks off tomorrow (FriYAY for real!) a.m. for the general public, and believe me when I tell you, this is better than Christmas, your birthday and your graduation all mixed in one. I have been pre-saling so hard, because ya know, I'm a cardholder. Just like Carrie Bradshaw taught us, I like my money right where I can see it..hanging in my closet. Shop my top picks below. Each picture is clickable and lists the SALE price underneath!

I seriously live in these AG jeans and they are almost $100 off. Cannot beat it. Two more items I decided I couldn't live without today were this jacket and this cardigan. I truly need to be stopped. How many items will be sacrificed before I am done shopping the Nordstrom sale? The limit does not exist.

BE MINE...OR BE WINE.

Whether I am in a relationship or not, I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day. I love all the pink and red and everything is just so freaking cute! I mean, have you been in Target lately? Don't go. Just don't. I put together this little list for the lady-friend in your life...even if that is just you yourself!

I have to be honest, I have the heart sunglasses, the burgandy bodysuit, the heart doormat, AND I just snagged the gold pumps on a may-jor sale. I can highly recommend all 4. I can also highly recommend that I go to shopping-rehab, but that seems like a bad deal for all of us. #promises

WHAT TO WEAR: NYE PARTY.

Just a few NYE options for your Sunday evening. I am back home and happy to be snuggled up with my Coco girl. Hope you all had the best Christmas yet! So much to be thankful for.

GIFT GUIDE FOR HER: UNDER $100.

gift guide under $100

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNER / 2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + BEAUTY COUNTER DAY CREAM / 3. GRANDE LASH SERUM / 4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER / 5. 'GOOD THINGS' POUCH / 6. BAG CHARM / 7. LEATHER JACKET / 8. SCARF / 9. NIKE SNEAKERS / 10. INITIAL CHARM

Let's be real, it is always a good time for a gift, but now that it is officially gift-giving season, I am putting together a few giftish guides for you to peruse. I am also poor, so here is a cheapie version to kick things off.

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNING FOAM: Ok guys, if you follow me on Snapchat (@harrisonsapp4), you saw this baby arrive. As you know, I am dead serious about self-tanning. I have tried it all, every cream, every towel, every paste (??)...I love this foam. It is light, it dries almost instantly and it gives the kind of deep color I crave year-round. PLUS, at $24, it is the perfect addition to your stocking.

2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + DAY CREAM: If you haven't started hearing about BC yet, you definitely will be soon. The buzz behind this 'safer choice' in beauty is pretty strong and the best part is that their products are living up to the hype.

3. GRANDE LASH SERUM: A friend got me hooked on this lash serum that is far more affordable than some of the others out there. I have noticed a considerable difference in the length and fullness of my lashes, and I haven't even finished my first tube. 

4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER: This doesn't really need an explanation, but I feel like this is such a great gift that is often overlooked. I have a little gold croc version that I love, but am planning to stock up on a few more so that I have one in every bag. As a blogger looking to grow my baby brand, it's SO important to carry my cards on me at all times!

**SIDE NOTE/EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!** 

I have partnered with my beautiful friend Callie Riggs (@callieriggs) to start curating a collection of the coolest, newest and most unique companies and products for women. Our website is #comingsoon, but for now you can follow us on Instagram @likeloveneedit! Can't wait to get this baby up and running!

P.P.S. How annoying am I today?! Make sure you check back December 5th for my MAYJ giveaway!

#NSALE: FINAL ROUND-UP.

Guys, this is a pivotal time for us all. We are in the final weekend of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it ends Sunday, August 2nd. After this, shopping basically doesn't even matter anymore. I am obviously lying and will cure my #NSALE withdrawals by paying full price everywhere else. These are my final 21 picks. 21, just like my age. What? Scroll. Click. Buy. I'm not judging you.

#NSALE: TARDY FOR THE PARTY.

OH. Did you guys think I was just going to leave you hanging with the Nordies Anniversary sale?! Honestly, I thought about it. I KNOW, but listen, huge sales overwhelm me and sometimes I think I would rather pay full price than have to scramble to beat the rush. That is just as ridiculous as it sounds, so now that I am home from my lake life of leisure, I bit the bullet and pulled a few items that are currently loitering in my shopping cart. Each picture is clickable and shoppable, per usual. This e-shopping trip got me super excited that my favorite fashion season is just around the corner..FALL! How basic.

You guys know how much I love a good coat, it was actually difficult for me not to make this entire slideshow about coats. Also, while we are talking may-jor #savings, don't forget you can still use my code giltyaschargedxoxo for your FREE month of Rocksbox! Jewels to your doorstep. I repeat, jewels to your doorstep, FO' FREE. 

HALF-YEARLY, I LOVE YOU DEARLY.

It's the happ-happiest season of all---Nordstrom's half-yearly sale is here! Save up to 40% off of your faves from now until May 31st. Yes, just all of the yes. I made you a casual click-to-shop collage of the things I am lurving below. It's basically like me making you a mixtape. I'm saying that I love you. Buy me all the things.

Hope everyone has an amazing long weekend! #MDW2015 


ADD TO CART.

I am a lover of lists. Lists for everything. Lists for to dos, wants, ideas, goals, etc. The wish list is obviously my favorite kind of list, and I keep two versions running at all times: the cheap pieces [fun, trendy, wear-once-and-done], and the investment pieces that I will keep for years to come. I add to each almost constantly. Just today, between my nail appointment and eating gelato as a lunchtime snack, I added the following:

Cheapies: floral jumpsuit, olive jogger pants, mock-turtleneck crop top.

Investments: Vince mules, black aviators, lightwash flares, summer bag + tote, fun wedge.

OF COURSE, the investment list is longer. Such is my life. These are a few of the options I have added to my mental cart.

VIEWING PARTY ESSENTIALS: OSCARS 2015.

Happy Oscar Sunday! {AND #NationalMargaritaDay, whatever you prefer} Whether you are gathered with a group of your bests, face first in a bowl of queso, or flying solo on the couch, these are my picks for viewing party must-haves. Get comfy:
oscars viewing party
1. MUG / 2. COASTERS / 3. CANDLE / 4. SLEEP SHIRT / 5. HEADBAND / 6. PILLOW
7. THROW / 8. FLUTES / 9. SWEATPANTS / 10. iPHONE CASE / 11. SOCKS

The only things I searched for and couldn't find to add to this montage were Leo-themed socks. You heard me. #TeamDicaprio for life. Rudest. Award show. EVER. #MyHeartWillGoOn, NO THANKS to The Academy.

NYE STYLE RECAP.

Happy New Year!! Has everyone made and broken their resolutions? I am not a big resolution girl myself, I just usually decide to focus on trying to better myself in small ways here and there. I love Bethenny Frankel's quote, "Do what you can." As long as you are doing what you can, you can never disappoint yourself. Today for me that meant sleeping in, watching HGTV over my mid-morning coffee and finishing tonight with a 3 mile walk and some couch time with Coco girl. Doesn't take much! 

Let's talk NYE for one more minute. I found this fun gold foil jumpsuit at Topshop in Nordstrom. It was $75 and I bought it and then promptly returned it. I can be very indecisive. Anyway, I decided I wanted it again, went back to grab it and found it on sale for $37! MAJOR win. This is what I call "outFATE"..outfit fate. Thank you, shopping Gods.
JUMPSUIT (similar here and here) / BRACELET
I wore this H&M blazer as my jacket, which I eventually shed and abandoned at the coat check. NYE, y'all. Never fear, she is home now safe & sound. I also decided to throw it back to the hoop earring. Shout out, Icing.

This is the only pic I have of the BCBG booties I wore with it. Super comfy and they hit at a flattering part of the ankle, which is VERY important in a bootie when you are bare-leggin' it. I got these at DSW, but there are tons of similar options available right now.
Thursday I was super impressed with myself for popping out of bed and turning my swag on, like Willow Smith. Just snagged these burgandy French Connection pumps at DSW. The hat is Forever 21!
DENIM / NECKLACE / TOP (J.Crew, similar) / HAT(similar)
After such a fun few days, Coco and I spent most of yesterday and today like this. My mom got me this Nate Berkus throw for Christmas and neither of us are ever moving from underneath it. Back to the grind tomorrow, kittens! I am shooting some great looks this week, so stay tuned!

HOLIDAY CHEER(S).

Merry Christmas Eve, Gilties! Hope you are all snuggled up with family & lovahs. I haven't left my pajamas yet and don't plan on it until tonight's festivities. Speaking of festivities, I have teamed up with one of my very favorites, La Marca prosecco, to bring you this mini holiday tablescape. No space is too small to decorate this time of year. Even my tiny one bedroom apartment can be transformed with a little holiday zhush and a lot of bubbly in your glass. Jingle this, babies. #Lamarcable

CHAMPAGNE PRINT / PILLOWS(Target, similar) / PYTHON TRAY

After this shoot, I actually scotch-guarded those pillows and used them on my patio. They are the cutest and I am so mad at Target for not having them on their website! My little feather tree is another Target find and I have a wreath that matches. I bought those for my first Christmas in ATL and this is my 3rd! Love when that happens. I love to decorate with neutrals like white and then throw in glassware I already have and leftover corks to tie it all together…plus it's free!

For an easy, delicious and festive drink to make your Christmas Eve #Lamarcable, try a Poinsettia: add cranberry juice to your La Marca prosecco and squeeze lemon juice on top. SO easy and so good. Merry Merry!

GIFT GUIDE PART 3: STOCKING.

The stocking is here to prove that good things DO come in small packages. Sometimes this is the hardest part of my shopping, I swear! My dad LOVED Christmas more than anyone ever, and he absolutely passed that love down to me. Instead of just opting for filler, I make sure every stocking stuffer is well-thought out and meaningful. Have I mentioned that I am a total shopping obsessed lunatic? About 394 times? Oh, perfect. Moving on..
stocking stuffers
1. ON/OFF MUG 2. EPISLIM 3. ROLL-UP FLATS 4. MATCHES 5. RING 6. TRAVEL BAGS
7. KATE SPADE GLOVES 8. CHEERS CANDLE
9. BOWTIE 10. TOM FORD SOAP 11. BEARD LUBE 12. SHAVE BRUSH 13. CUFFLINKS
14. FLASK 15. WHISKEY STONES 16. J.CREW GLOVES
As always, click each link above to shop!

See what I mean?? The stocking is SO much fun. I love mixing cheapies like that cute little sweater-clad flask from Nordstrom (literally less than $10!!) with higher end finds like those timeless Kate Spade gloves (that are also smartphone friendly!). Even Kate knows some of the hottest texting happens in colder weather, am I right? Amen. Also super important..useful hair-removing gifts like the fuss-free Epislim, as well as that old school little men's shaving brush I found at Target for just $19. Let's all vow to remain fuzz-free until warmer months. It's just nicer that way.

WEEKEND STYLE IN REVIEW.

Gobble gobble week is over and it's time to talk what really matters. The dressing. By that I mean what I wore. This is really just a stream of consciousness at this point, because SO. VERY. SLEEPY. Being thankful is serious & exhausting. Let's get down to the business.
JACKET (similar) / DENIM / SLIP-ONS
This is a throwback to last weekend, SORRY, but this was my travel gear for the car ride back from SC to ATL. I cannot get enough of these H&M slip-ons. Needing a few more colors like now.
JACKET (old, similar) / NECKLACE
NAIL COLOR: YOU DON'T KNOW JACQUES
Rocked this tweed number from Express on my last day in the office. I love the zippered detail on the sleeves. The Minus the Leather line by Express is really blowing my mind lately.
Found this amazing RING at Nordstrom on Black Friday.
JACKET (similar) / SWEATSHIRT / DENIM / FLATS (Sam Edelman, similar)
Pranced around outside with my sweet Momma before she left town. Totally one with nature.
Snagged this precious little chalkboard sign at Mast General Store. Hashtag feelings.
TREE SKIRT / SLIPPERS
Finally finished our sparkly tree! I love my little apartment this time of year.
The scene at our house tonight. Love that baby girl. 
Back to the grind tomorrow, Gilties. Have another glass of wine and forget about it, I know I am.

SNAKE IN THE GRASS.

Ok, so I lied when I said I didn't buy anything at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale…but the one item I did bring home was not actually on sale (go figure), so it was not really a REAL lie. It was only ly-ish. Forgive me? You will in time. This beaut below came home with me. It was really beyond my control.

BONUS: long enough for heels!
Super flattering sweetheart neckline.
Love the colors in this python print.
My closet floor. Probably my favorite DIY ever.
I seriously can't wait to wear this flowy little number to sip wine in the French countryside. Did I mention there is no wine on this 21 Day Fix? I'll ask you again, #sendhelp. 

P. to tha S. A few people have been asking for more details on this little closet safari DIY. It was one of those moments that was accidentally genius, but super easy. 

Basically, I bought this rug online (I think from Overstock?), but when it came in, it was WAY too aggressive for my living room and it was final sale. After a lot of pouting, I decided to try cutting it to fit my closet. I told you...decor crazed. Maybe I should have prefaced this with: "I was still single."

I measured the inside of my closet, marked the rug and then cut it using carpet shears I bought at Lowe's. Finally, I used carpet seam glue on the edges to keep it from fraying and voila! Leopard lovin' heaven. 

Here is a collage of the whole adorable process:
