Rounding up my favorite home finds — for your significant other, your parents, your friends, neighbors, or even yourself!
MY FAVORITE FIND:
The Always Pan is one of my FAVORITE finds of 2020! Marked down from $145 to $95 during this special sale (use code SUPERSALE) — trust me it is WORTH THE WAIT, and even if it is backordered, GRAB. IT. ANYWAY. You’re going to love this game-changing pan in several modern colors.

This is a blog post I’ve always wanted to do, about a topic I’d rather keep under wraps: my dry, cracked heels. Case in point: this next photo (I’m cringing right now, but look closely if you really wanna see!)
Yikes! My feel look rough (literally) but I want you to see the difference!
The cream is super moisturizing & thick, without feeling greasy.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been self-conscious of my feet. Despite monthly pedicures, special socks, and countless scrubs, those rough patches and white cracks always seem to make a reappearance. But I’ve *finally* found something that’s made an immediate difference — Dermatonics Heel Balm!
The goods! I love that it contains Manuka Honey, which is known for its healing properties!
This balm is super affordable (under $15), uses all clean and safe ingredients, and goes on so easily without feeling greasy. Most importantly, I was beyond impressed with how QUICKLY I could see results: the next day!
I rubbed the cream into my feet and put my socks on right before bed. If you’re planning on wearing sneakers for the day, you could easily do this first thing in the morning too. The results in these photos are after *JUST 2 DAYS* of using the product — and for the record, it’s been 6 MONTHS since I’ve had a pedicure (gee thanks, COVID!) I can only imagine that using this cream after a fresh pedicure would yield even more dramatic results.
WOW! So proud to show off these heels!
Bottom line: you’ve gotta try Dermatonics Heel Balm. It has officially become a staple in my nightstand, and I’m thrilled to monitor the results over time. Grab some today & I promise you’ll thank me later!
XOXO,
Keli

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! 🙂 This year I got a super sneak-peak to all of the special pieces on super sale — and I’m sharing an exclusive try-on with my bestie, Shelbi Adams of It’s All Chic To Me! Check out our favorite outfits and keep tabs on the blog every day as I share my new finds & the best deals of #NSale!
This faux-wrap 3/4 sleeve blouse is a winner — multiple colors that can be dressed up or down in a lightweight, wrinkle-free fabric! Grab this work and play staple while you can!
Snag these faux-leather, high-waist shorts for an option a perfect wear-now, wear-later wardrobe staple! The built-in belt adds polish and the pleats are flattering. Excellent quality for the price!
*HIGH SELL-OUT RISK!* Absolutely obsessed with these booties — I’m grabbing them in white and maybe another color or two as well! SUPER comfy and the white bootie is incredibly easy to dress up or down. The cognac leather is a gorgeous option too!
Sizing: True to size, wearing a 9 (Could possibly size up 1/2 size w/ socks)
This faux-wrap 3/4 sleeve blouse is a winner — multiple colors that can be dressed up or down in a lightweight, wrinkle-free fabric! Grab this work + play staple while you can!
One of the best pants of the sale! These high-waist, paper-bag style pants are easy to wear and come in versatile color options (blank and mustard yellow.) The length is great for work and night too!
What better time to stock-up on essentials than #NSale?! These black heels are perfect for work and weekend — grab them while you can for a fantastic price!
**HIGH SELL-OUT RISK** We’re predicting this will be *THE* sweater of the sale! Obsessed with it in every color (neutral beige, burgundy, burnt orange, and black) but we think the neutral beige will be the first to go.
Faux-snakeskin is the equivalent of a fall neutral, and what better place to rock the trend than your toes? Love the darker shade, especially in a peep-toe bootie.
**HIGH SELL-OUT RISK** We’re predicting this will be *THE* sweater of the sale! Obsessed with it in every color (neutral beige, burgundy, burnt orange, and black) but we think the neutral beige will be the first to go.
**HIGH SELL-OUT RISK** We’re predicting this will be one of *THE* top-selling jeans of the sale! Insanely good price, perfect distressing, and easy to dress up or down!
We lovvvved the look of these booties… but TBH, Shelbi & I hated the fit. This bootie was painful to both of us (just standing in the dressing room) so we can only imagine how tough it would be to walk around in these cuties. Let us know if you have better success, but these were a “miss” in our opinion.
Easy-to-wear sweater dress that will probably be a top pick of #NSale considering the price, fit, and style! We rocked this sweater dress two different ways, but you can change it up SO many ways!
Sizing: Topshop’s size varies wildly, but I’m wearing an “8”

*HIGH SELL-OUT RISK* These sneakers are one of my FAVORITE finds of the sale! They are just as (if not MORE) comfy than Golden Goose sneakers and are so, so, so easy to style!
Soft, comfy, color-block cardigan in colors that are so easy to dress up or dress down! You can allllways count on this brand for comfy, cozy, versatile pieces!
One of my FAVORITE pieces of the sale!!! Grab this top in every color and forgot those BP blouses people usually stock up on. This is FAR softer and a MUCH better fit!

This loungewear / PJ blouse is one of my FAVORITE of the sale! Definitely a “sleeper” piece because it’s an unexpected basic tee, but you’ll be so glad you grabbed this soft, great-fitting, versatile blouse!
**HIGH SELL-OUT RISK** We’re predicting this will be one of *THE* top-selling jeans of the sale! Insanely good price, perfect distressing, and easy to dress up or down!

**HIGH SELL-OUT RISK** This would be my first pair of Sperrys and I couldn’t be happier — they are SO, SO good!! Classic style, easy fit, and they will pair with everything from denim to dresses!
Everyone needs a denim skirt and this little mini checks alllll the boxes for a fraction of the regular price! It’s stretchy, the perfect length, and comes in a great denim wash.
Sizing: Slightly big — wearing a 25, but would prefer a 24.

This is definitely more of a fun, trendy piece than closet staple but every girl needs a few of those! It’s definitely very cropped so do keep that in mind.
If you are a Topshop jean lover, these are for you! Topshop caters really well to curvy girls as their jeans are very stretchy and hug in all of the right places. I personally love their jeans for date nights or girl’s nights out.
These white block heel booties are most definitely going to be one of the BIGGEST sellers of #NSale, so grab them while you can! Easy to style and super comfy, you can’t beat the price tag.
These name brand jeans certainly do good things for the booty but they didn’t do good things for the knee area as they created almost a “knee fat” illusion if they are too tight/small so just beware!
I was pleasantly surprised to see these Tory Burch booties in the sale this year because you know that’s a designer brand that rarely goes on sale and these booties are so cute! They also come in black.
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* If you remember the popular Leith sweater dress from last year that sold out day one, well this is this year’s version and it’s even better! It’s super stretchy, form fitting and very flattering! Also comes in black and can be worn forwards or backwards.
Sizing: size up if in between sizes, wearing an XS but could have done a S
I love that every year, Nordstrom puts a military jacket in the sale because I think this is a Fall staple piece that every girl should have in her closet!
My jaw dropped when I saw the price on these jeans. They are a total STEAL! For $28, they are hard to go wrong. They are super stretchy so if you are in between sizes, size down as they do tend to stretch out with wear!

These remind me of an upgraded Keds! They are cute and sporty with a touch of fun color detail. I’d say they are meant for a somewhat narrow foot as they were a little tight on me.
If you are looking for an affordable suede moto jacket, this is the one for you! It’s considerably cheaper than the popular BlankNYC one and honestly just as good plus comes in more color options! For my girls with long arms you are going to want to size up!
Y’all know I’m a Levi’s girl so I was happy these jeans were in the sale and also that they have some stretch since a lot of Levi’s are true denim. The dark wash will be perfect for the cooler weather months.
Sizing: if in between sizes size down, wearing a 24
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* I’m calling it now that these are going to be the most popular knee high boot of the sale! I love that they are pointed toe, slouchy and comfortable!

Another great basic layering piece! It can be worn forwards or backwards which means that it can either be a scoop neck or v neck tank! It’s a very stretchy, almost athletic material.
These remind me of a similar jean from BlankNYC but much more affordable! Leopard is sticking around for Fall and these would be so cute paired with even a basic tee now!
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* I’m calling it now that these are going to be the most popular knee high boot of the sale! I love that they are pointed toe, slouchy and comfortable!
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* This hat is under $40 making it a great price point! The brim isn’t too small or too wide which also makes it the perfect hat. Comes in two colors. Sizing: run true to size
For a BlankNYC jacket, I’d say this price point is a steal! The quality is a little stiff so it would take some breaking in but the color is beautiful and will go with so many Fall outfits!
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* I was shocked when I saw the price tag on this baby because the quality is so dang good. This is one of those faux leather jackets that you could wear to the bar and not have to worry about someone spilling on it but is also nice enough to wear to a fancy dinner outing!
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* Pieces like this are always flying off the shelves especially because it’s an item you can wear now. And yes I’m talking about in quarantine with your sweats or dressed up!
Madewell always puts this same style in the sale every year and it’s a good one for sure! I’m sad that they don’t have it in the basic green this year, but if camo is your thing, it’s certainly a great quality jacket!
These jeans were actually a favorite of mine that I think all of my petite girls need! The price point is great and also where they hit. I’m 5’4″ and they hit right above the ankle.
If you are need of a staple white sneaker, look no further! Both of us loved these. The leather laces don’t need to be tied so they can just be pulled right on plus have a platform on them!
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* This is one of those basic tees you need to buy in ALL of the colors. It’s the softest basic tee in an NSALE yet! If you plan on throwing it in the dryer I would size up!
This black wash denim jacket fits a little oversized so I’d say it’s more of a trendy item than staple piece but if that’s what you are going for, rock it gf!
My favorite guilty pleasure of all-time: binge-watching TV!
I’ll admit it: I spend wayyyy too much time streaming series online. From Netflix to Amazon Prime, Hulu to Apple TV+, I love binge-watching shows while I work, as I get ready for the day, and as I unwind in the evenings.
Luckily for you I’ve assembled a MASSIVE list to help you find your next favorite show! I’ll continue adding to this page as I find new shows (and you know I will!) Be sure to share your favorites with me too!
