My photographer, Miguel, and I finally got back together and shot a few looks yesterday after a couple of weeks away. It’s always fun working with people that you’re just used to. It was scorching hot yesterday so we stopped at my favorite post-beach sweet treat shop called Rita’s Italian Ice. I always get swirl soft-serve with rainbow sprinkles, which went perfectly with this blue and white stripe dress. I snagged it when I was in Dallas last week, was going to wear it for the firework show over the weekend but the weather was just too rainy. It didn’t make any sense for me to change out of my bathing suit and cover-up. 

It’s a big week this week. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts on Thursday for card holders only. I want to take this time to urge you to open a Nordstrom Debit card if you don’t already have one. I know credit cards are always a little dangerous, especially because everyone is so different in how they handle them, and I never want to encourage someone to walk into something that could be a stumbling block for them. With that said, I feel like debit cards are a little easier to keep yourself under control with. It’s why I personally have a Nordstrom debit card as opposed to a credit card, and it still allows me to receive all the perks of a card holder. I have perused the #NSale catalog and … well, I cannot wait for Thursday. There are so many great ‘staple’ pieces [for Fall in particular; and just think about how much more expensive things are in the Fall/Winter] that you’ll save on. It’ll be worth it, I promise! Please let me know if you have any questions … I’d be happy to answer them for you!

Thanks so much for stopping by, y’all! xo.

With love & sequins,

Haley
