The 20 Must Haves At The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is on and it's big! What makes this sale so special is most of the products included are new for Fall or exclusive to Nordstrom. Their reduced prices will go back up August 4th. A few things I had my eye on have already sold out, so I suggest that you shop fast. This edit of fashion, accessories, home decor and beauty, will help narrow down the wonderful options. Just click on any photo or title link to get shopping and saving on your favorite "Must Haves."

Tibi Mixed Check Blazer

Playing with patterns is a Tibi specialty. I think that this is great fun. A belted blazer for Fall 
is trending.

Lafayette 148 New York Turtleneck

If you are like me, you are always on the hunt for a good turtleneck. Here it is. Loving the delicate chain detail and the circle cut out in back. This is so good.

Lafayette 148 New York Lyndon 
Leather Blazer

Luxe leather that is buttery soft in the best granite grey. A great addition to your Fall wardrobe!

Chevron Luggage Set

Designed by Nordstrom for stylish travel. Very good looking and well priced at $100 off. 

J.Crew Stretch Wrap Blouse
Who doesn't need a fresh new white shirt? This one makes a stylish statement.

Hunter Original Tour Gloss Packable 
Rain Boot
Packable? Now that is something new and necessary. Included in the special sale are several styles and colors of this classic boot for rain or snow. Now marked down by $50.

All Saints Trench
Cool girl style, and I just love it. Also available in sage green (but it looks taupe). It's the slouchy and fussy sophistication that makes this style a winner.

Burberry Sunglasses

In the vintage check that dates back to the '60s, these glasses are modern and chic in style.

Longchamp Le Pillage Leather Tote
The iconic bag style from Longchamp gets an upgrade in red leather. It's also available in pink. Great for a full day or a weekend getaway.
 Now marked down by $175.

Missoni Skinny Scarf
Whenever you can get your hands on a Missoni sale item, grab it. This skinny scarf will add panache and Italian style to every 
outfit and coat.

AllSaints Mila Bootie
Reflecting the label's industrial DNA, these feature lofty style. The gleaming studs and back zipper details make this a standout shoe.

Leopard Print Water Resistant Coated Trench Coat
This coat by Something Navy makes me want to go jump in puddles. It's fun and fierce with a glossy finish. Now less than $100.

Antica Farmacista Home Ambiance Perfume
What it is: A reed diffuser presented in an apothecary-inspired bottle filled with fragrance that permeates the air through the bottle's open neck. With many delectable fragrances like Lavender & Lime, Vanilla, Bourbon, and Mandarin, Prosecco & more, these are a treat for your home and your guests. Save $20 - $30 on each set.

Plaid Cashmere Wrap
A big, bold, and sweeping 100% cashmere wrap. Oh the things you can do with this!  Divine for less than $100.

Living Proof Full Hair Heroes
These are the hair products I use every day. I can honestly say that they plump up my fine limp hair. I also use the Hair Thickening Cream. Love it all. This set is a $30 savings.

Jaipur Glacier Rug
Update your home from the ground up with rugs on sale at Nordstrom. This beautiful blend of greys just might be my favorite. 

Kiehl's Bath & Body
One of my fave bath and body brands. Not only are their products good, they have not been tested on animals (can you imagine?) but they also do not contain harmful parabans. The Creme de Corps is one of the very best body moisturizers I have ever used. Very rich and elegant. Click the image to see what products are reduced.

Foodie Friday: The Best Berry Recipes Ever!

{ Via: Half Baked Harvest }

It's time to pick your berries and eat them, too! The season's sweetest treat is so very good for us. Berries are packed with vitamin C and anti-oxidants. So eat them any way you want, but just do it. Here's inspiration with fifteen sweet and savory recipes to try this weekend.

Red Berry Sangria
Doesn't this just scream Summer? This recipe shakes things up with some fresh additions to the classic sangria. There's a splash of berry vodka, rosé wine, and berry tea. Cheers!
Parade

Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad Bowl
 With Berries
With a popular Vietnamese dressing and dipping sauce, this recipe features Spring lettuces and crunchy fresh veggies that are all sweetened with seasonal berries.
Foodie Crush

Raspberry Lemon Pound Cake 

Berries and lemons area dynamic duo. Just the sweet treat to eat at any time of day.
The Seaside Baker

Blackberry Glazed Salmon
Don't you just love a sweet and savory dish? This recipe features a "sweet, syrupy glaze made with blackberry jam and white wine perfectly pairs with the rich, flaky fish."
The Millennial Cook

No Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Once you make your own ice cream, you will never go back to the store bought "stuff." This recipe couldn't be easier and only has four ingredients - heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, strawberries, and frozen cheesecake. Sounds fabulous, but I would make my own cheesecake, Sorry Sara Lee!
Broma Bakery

Strawberry Basil Bacon & Brie 
Chicken Burgers
Now that's a tasty mouthful! And even though I do not like hot chicken, this does sound interesting.
Cooking for Keeps

Fresh Fruit Tart With Almond Press-In Crust
This can be a make ahead recipe, as the custard can be made ahead up to four days in advance. The crust sound pretty amazing.
Bon Appetit

Strawberry Shortcake French Toast

This recipe will certainly up your breakfast game. And by the way did you know that 8 strawberries have more Vitamin C than a whole orange? Just look at that filling! This looks delicious.
Bakers Royale

Grilled Fontina and Blackberry Basil Smash Sandwiches

This may be the ultimate Grilled Cheese. Simple to make.

Recipe Hearth

Strawberry Pie With Strawberry Crust
Have you ever seen a prettier pie? That crust is made pink with freeze dried strawberries! 
Pure Wow

Brown Sugar Blueberry Pie Shakes

Dreamy and creamy. Made with almond milk, blueberries, almond butter, shortbread and more. YUM!

Pig & Quill

Honey Raspberry Brie Crostini With Basil

Here's a really great company recipe. Who would turn down bread, cheese, and raspberries?

Half Baked Harvest

Summer Veg & Tofu Skewers With Blueberry Barbecue Sauce

Personally, I love grilled Tofu. This blueberry sauce sounds like just the thing to spice it up. A fun vegetarian dish.

The First Mess

Raspberry, Nectarine, and Sweet Corn Clafoutis

This recipe gets my vote for the most unique of the roundup. It's a sweet, eggy, and custardy treat. If you haven't had a clafoutis yet, it is a French dessert. Looks delightful for Summer.

Half Baked Harvest

Blackberry Mojito

Crushed ripe blackberries give this mojito a twist and a kick. It would make a haute house drink this Summer.
