Nordstrom Sale Picks under $100

Nordstrom Sale Picks under $100 | NSale Favorites | It's All Chic To Me

It’s officially the best (sale) time of the year and the best part is that you can shop it directly from your couch and pj’s! Nordstrom is my go-to for just about anything I ever need. There is something for all budgets and the customer service is amazing. Free shipping and returns is a major plus!!

Currently the sale is only open to cardholders but don’t worry if you aren’t one. They came out with a sneak peak of what will be open to the public and there is nothing “sneak peak” about it. There are hundreds of pages to sort through, and yes it is all AMAZING items to sift through, but hundreds nonetheless. So I’ve made your life much easier and picked some of my favorite sale items for you so hopefully you have a good starting point!

Since you all know I like to ball on a budget, all of my picks (minus this bag and these jeans) are under $100. I do want to point out just a few pieces I have been coveting for a long time and might just have to give in to. Do you remember the beautiful Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots that were all the rage last year? Or the classic Tory Burch riding boots? While the sale is a great time to stock up on budget friendly pieces, it’s also the time to grab that piece you’ve always wanted. After all it’s on major sale, so it’s almost like you are making money right?! šŸ˜‰

The sale extends over the next three weeks and will be open to the public shortly so get your shopping carts ready! I will be adding items throughout the sale to my shop page so make sure you check back regularly for all of the best sales.

Sweet Treats + Tassel Dress

A fringe dress that is perfect for Summer | It's All Chic To Me

Another summer day, another summer dress! I really can’t stop wearing anything but dresses in this Houston heat! When I saw this dress from Discover L.O.L.A, I knew that I had to have it. Tassels are a huge trend right now that I can’t seem to get enough of and coupled with the adorable neckline, this dress is too cute!

They wouldn’t call it sweet summertime without some sweet treats! I didn’t use to have a sweet tooth and I’m not sure where it came from, but as of recently, I have been on a sweets kick! One of my favorite things about Houston is all of the food options we have, #fatgirlproblems. But really, it is a foodie’s dream come true! If you are in the Houston area, here are a few spots you MUST try:

Sprinkles Cupcakes– I don’t know how they do it because I’m not even a huge cupcake fan, but Sprinkles has officially converted me! The best part is that they have a cupcake ATM machine! You heard me right šŸ™‚ My favorite cupcake is the Vanilla with sprinkles.

Sweet Paris Crepes– I may have recently just started branching out on sweets, but crepes will always be my one true love! Sweet Paris has both sweet and savory crepes so there is something for everyone and for every meal of the day. My favorite savory crepe is the chicken and mushroom and my favorite sweet crepe is the Nutella, strawberry, banana and coconut.

Hugs and Donuts– Let me preface this by saying that this is not your normal donut shop and if you haven’t jumped on the gourmet donut bandwagon yet, you are missing out! Some of my favorites include the almond joy, peach and cinnamon toast crunch, and the maple and bacon. Donuts are no longer just for breakfast and you can find Hugs and Donuts open until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. At the end of the day, you can usually snag a buy one, get one free deal!

Steel City Pops– This just might be the hottest joint in town right now according to every girls Instagram! Their popsicles are made from all natural and local ingredients and are pretty darn tasty to boot. I have yet to check them out but can’t wait to try the watermelon, coconut, and blueberry and basil popsicles!

Besides beating the heat with your favorite treat, Discover L.O.L.A has a great selection of some of this summer’s hottest and trendiest clothes and accessories. If you are looking for cute, quality, boutique style pieces that not every other girl is going to have, Discover L.O.L.A has you covered! Some other pieces that I am loving are this midi dress, this off the shoulder dress, and thisĀ embroidered romper. So make sure to check them out!

*TO ENTER GIVEAWAY, READ ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE BOTTOM!*

A couple of weeks ago, a few Houston bloggers and I enjoyed a night out at MKT BAR Houston. If you are from the area and have heard of Phoenicia Foods then you know what a treat this was! We started out the night with a tour of Phoenicia Foods by the owner herself and got to sample several different greek appetizers that left me wanting more! If you have not been to the store, you are missing out on an incredible experience. The store alone is a sight to see with it’s impressive grocery selection, delicious ready-made food, and the pita conveyer belt that runs the length of the store! I felt like I was at Willa Wonka’s Chocolate Factory with everything there was to see and taste!

After our tour of Phoenicia, we were greeted with several different refreshing, Summer cocktails. It was a close call but two drinks stole the show. The Melon Cooler which features prosseco and their house-infused watermelon syrup, and the Splish Splash Cocktail that features dill infused agave nectar, pinot grigio and strained cucumber.

While there was not one thing I tried that I didn’t like, my favorites included the meat and cheese tray, Roasted Chicken entree, and the Veg Out Pizza.

Summer Cocktails you have to try! From left to right: Melon Cooler, Ginger Blossom, Grapefruit Rita, Champagne, and the Splish Splash. I’m already planning my next ladies night just thinking about them!

If you are like me and like an excellent meat and cheese tray selection to go with your evening wine, look no further because I have officially found the best place in town for you to go that won’t break the bank. Charcuterie and cheese plates are only $9 on Wednesdays and select bottles of wine are half off!

The Half Roasted Chicken dish made me nostalgic for aĀ delicious home cooked meal. The chicken was prepared with olives and lemon and served with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. YUM is an understatement!

Last but not least, my absolute favorite! My mouth is seriously watering as I write this because it was THAT GOOD. A pizza that has goat cheese, pesto and brussel sprouts people. I repeat goat cheese, pesto AND brussel sprouts. I am not kidding when I say this is hands down the best pizza I have ever had and will be back regularly just to get this!

The dessert and coffee selection is also something thatĀ should not go unspoken as both were just as amazing (if not more) than the food! The Apple Baklava and snickerdoodle gelato is a must try!

OK now calling all Houston foodies:

Monday- Fridays: Happy Hour from 4-6 PM featuring $5 glasses of wine, $4 draft beer, $3 bottles and appetizer specials

Tuesdays & Thursdays: 2-10 PM enjoying a delicious $12.99 steak dinner

Wednesdays: 7-10 PM Vinyl & Vino Night- Enjoy Houston vinyl record players, a $5 glass of wine or half off a bottle and $9 charcuterie and cheese plates

Saturdays: Soul Sessions 8-11 PM- Hear the best of soul, funk, Motown and beyond. $5 cocktail specials

Saturdays & Sundays: Brunch 9-3 PM- Brunch Menu featuring waffles, eggs, pomegranate mimosas, specialty coffee and more. Live music on Sundays from 12-3.

If you are in the area and would like to meet up for some pizza and wine, hit me up because there’s a 100% chance I will say yes!

Another day closer to the holiday weekend has me counting down the hours until I get to bust out the red, white and blue and sip watermelon mojitos by the pool. Whose with me? I’m getting ready for July 4th today with a little help from Charming Charlie. I plan on beating the heat the best way I know how- some cut offs, all white, and my favorite sunnies. OkĀ maybe that watermelon mojito might help cool me down too so now that I think about it, I might need to have 2 of those šŸ™‚

Embroidery is timeless and always will be! As far as trends go, this is one that always catches my eye in any store that I go in.Ā I love mixing old with new when it comes to clothing, colors, and especially trends. White on white might seem like a new trend that you are seeing, but it could not be more timeless. If done properly it is such a flattering look. With all of this Houston heat, I chose to pair this cute embroidered top white my go-to white shorts, but a pair of white jeans would also look great with this ensemble. MyĀ favoriteĀ pair of white skinnies are these Joes jeans.

White jeans are definitely one piece ofĀ clothing that I suggest not skimpingĀ on because if someone has to debate if you are wearing white leggings or white skinny jeans, you are probably going to regret not spending those extra dollars. White in general is a color you want to make sure the quality of the clothing is well..high quality. Anything that is too tight or see through, white amplifies. So if you are questioning it in the store, move on to the next piece. If you are scared to go all white, try a top that is predominantly white with small pops of color. It will help you ease into the look instead of diving straight in.

If youĀ still aren’t sure what you will be wearing for July 4th, feel free to check out my other holiday inspired outfit post here. I also rounded up all of my favorite red, white and blue picks here in case you are a gal that likes her options. Whatever your plans may be for the holiday weekend, I hope you have a great one!
