Lets Go Shopping Together :)

Hello lovelies!

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale: Designer Edition Part 1

As I've mentioned in my post from yesterday, Nordstrom is having their Half Yearly Sale!

Which means even their designer collection is ON SALE!!! Sadly I don't have thousands of dollars lying around to go shopping but here is a start of my wish list of what I would buy if I was a rich girl.

If you've noticed I like the classic, no frills style. But I am in my 20s, I do want something still fun and whimsical. That is why I'm in LOVE with this Herve Leger Scalloped A-Line Dress! Its light navy blue or blue sapphire as the company calls it and it has a beautiful scalloped design! The dress ends couple of inches above the knees- but seems long enough to go past your fingertips- as someone whose more on the shorter side and who has longer legs compared to her torso if my dress goes past my knees I look awkward. The original price is $1690 but its currently 40% off and $1014!

I love cardigans, I love lace, I'm loving the floral design that's been making a comeback recently annnnnd I LOVE Valentino. This cardigan is EVERYTHING!!! The original price is $2,200 but its currently 40% off and is $1320. Although I would like some more bright colors for the flowers, the neutral colors makes the cardigan more versatile.

I've been wanting a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes for quite some time now- but I've found that their shoes aren't the most comfortable- I like being able to walk fast and I like heels that either 1) have a thick heel or 2) are mary janes- I like having that extra support. BUT I do like things that glitter and this Jimmy Choo "Reese" clutch is perfection! The original price is $625 but its 40% off and is $375. 

So although I just told you I like heels that either have a  thick heel or are mary janes- I JUST HAVE TO share with you this beautiful pointed toe heel from Prada in pink! The original price is $650 but its 40% off and is $390. 

What are your favorite picks from Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale?

UPDATE on DIY Hair Mask

Bon giorno Beauty Lovers! :)

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday!

I just saw that my DIY Home Made Mask  happens to have the most page view!

I stumbled across this homemade mask after browsing on Socialbliss.com and came across several at home spa treatments . According to other Socialbliss users un-petroloeum jelly  and sugar is a great sugar scrub! I'm sure you can just use vaseline (which does have petroleum in it, if you don't have any un-petroleum jelly. From the research I've done vaseline or petroleum jelly is not harmful for your health- of course its not something you should be digesting enormous quantities on a daily basis). 

Anyway I just wanted to report back to you all that I've been continuing the mask at least twice a month and my hair looks great! I should admit that I've been skimping on the honey recently as my honey has gotten a bit old and has started to harden :P But just olive oil itself does wonder to your hair!

 Before I used the mask my hair was frizzy easily and would be impossible to brush with a comb. But its silky to the touch and even my employer compliments my hair :)

Do make sure to shampoo your hair EXTREMELY well after the mask or your hair will stay oily for rest of the day.




Half Yearly Sale at Nordstroms!

Hello Lovely Blogger Readers!

I hope everyone is getting back in the swing after the looooonnngggg weekend.

Guess what time it is right now?!

It's Half Yearly Sale at Nordstroms!!!!!

Growing up in Seattle, I've always been a fan of Nordys. From my experience their sales associates are always amazzziinnnng and very attentive. Of course just as in any company I've had some hit/misses but I've never had any negative experience.

If anyone lives in the Seattle area and is looking for a designer handbag- let me know! I would LOOOVVEE to introduce you to my favorite sales associate in the designer handbag department. I'm even on a "face to face" basis with the manager of at the Bellevue designer handbag department. Yes, I might have a "window shopping problem" :P 

So throughout the Half Yearly Sale at Nordys I would LOVE to share with you some of my top picks!

Dresses:

Although I love the freedom that jeans and pants gives a girl, I do like to wear dresses. Theres something feminine and whimsical about wearing a colorful dress and pairing it with strappy sandals. I've been wanting to purchase a laced dress FOREVER and I want to add coral to my wardrobe.

Adrianna Papell's Lace Fit and Flare Dress is 45% off! The original price is $218 but its now $119!!!! 
I'm loving how the floral lace designs are more larger than usual laced dresses. The dress also comes in white! This dress would be perfect for a wedding or you can wear it casually by pairing it with a black motorcycle jacket or even a denim jacket! 


I've been wanting a pair of glitter pumps for quite a while. I tried on Jimmy Choos and they were the perfect fit. But as someone who lives in flats, spending over $500 in a pair of heels (at most) I might wear once a month doesn't seem like the brightest idea.

Meet Ivanka Trump's "Kayden" pump. It's currently 33% off, the original price is $130 but during Nordstrom's sale you can purchase it for $87! Glitter pumps are a perfect way to add some glam to any outfit and are pretty multifunctional since what outfit doesn't look more fab with some sparkle? ;) 

I rely on my phone as my "watch". I know I should purchase a watch but there's never really a time when I'm away from my phone (or else I panic that I've left it somewhere). However it is a bit rude to keep your phone out while you're out for lunch with a friend or when you're talking with a professor during office hours or when you're at Starbucks and "accidentally" bump into the handsome guy from your physics class.

Meet Skagen's "Mesh" Faceted Glass Bezel Watch. The watch is stainless steel but its dipped in gold. And has mother of pearl in the middle decorated with Austrian crystal. Its currently 40% off the original price of $140 and only costs $83.98! The mesh design adds a new dimension to the watch, the minimal crystals adds just the right amount of glam and the mother of pearl is the epitome of sophistication! The watch would be a perfect addition to any wardrobe! 

Check back again sooooon when I'll continue to share with you my favorite picks from Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale!
