Hey guys! I can’t believe it’s already July and already time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I am more excited than every because this is the first year that I am not an employee. Yes, I know it sounds weird, because you’re right I don’t have a discount anymore. But, the sale already gives you up to 40% off which is more than my employee discount anyway!

The reason I am most excited is because everything was a complete surprise to me. I didn’t have time to check out the catalog so I had no idea what to expect in terms of product! As a former retail employee and manager at Nordstrom, I’m not gonna lie this sale was one of our most stressful if not the most stressful time of the year.

The anniversary sale is almost as big as our Christmas sale. There is so much prep work that goes behind it, setting up all of the private tents (who remembers those?) or now the gated off areas. And then completely redoing the entire floor again for the public sale. So this year as a customer, let me just say I’m gonna grab a latte from the Ebar and really enjoy myself.

As a former employee, I can give you a little bit of behind the scenes scoop..

Hi guys, thanks for stopping by! I am so excited to share this summer trend with you guys because it truly is a new one. Sometime’s fashion just seems like its repeating itself season after season, but that isn’t the case this year. Summer previously had the reputation for being that time of year when you could get away with wearing the brightest possible color.

Previous Summer Color Trends

I have been known to be neutral obsessed to the point where people openly make comments when I decide to wear color. Even if it’s a subtle green, people are shocked its not white, gray, or black. When it comes to summer though, I think most people have been drawn to wear more color, myself included.

I don’t go overboard, but I know myself well enough to know that there would be some summer days where I would wake up and really crave a bright, Legally Blonde type pink. This spring,  I decided to give yellow a shot. Yellow is a color I haven’t worn in multiple years, but all of the sudden had the urge to throw it on after making sure to perfect my summer tan first.
