Spring Style Essentials with Nordstrom

There are a few pew pieces that are spring style essentials. Items that are closet must haves and can be mixed and matched with just about anything! Today, I am sharing some of my spring style essentials with Nordstrom!

Outfit – Tank // Cardigan // Linen Joggers // Espadrille Sneakers // Bag

There are a few essential pieces that I make sure my closet has from season to season. With the stay at home order, these essentials look a little different this spring! I’ve been on the hunt for the best basics that can be worn for lounging around the house and out and about.

Nordstrom is always my first stop when it’s time for a wardrobe refresh each season. They have a wide selection of items to choose from and I love finding the seasons best trends and classic closet staples all in one place! Not to mention, they have amazing customer service and their everyday free shipping makes ordering online a breeze.

When it comes to spring staples, there is one piece that is an ABSOLUTE MUST…a lightweight cardigan. I snag a new one every year that I end up wearing on repeat because I find that it goes with everything!

This year, I grabbed this one and I have to say I’m obsessed! It’s the perfect length and weight, making it a great option for layering. It comes in a bunch of color options, but I went with a neutral pick that I know I could pair with most of my closet. It will be easy to dress up or down, but has currently been great for working from home! See all the ways I styled it below!

Comfy shorts and joggers have been another one of my essentials! I am especially loving the linen options because of how easy they are to wear around the house and out the door! This pair is my current fave. They are so lightweight and easy breezy, that I’ve been wearing them to work from home. I can’t wait to wear them in the classroom when I go back to work and think they would be great for travel too!

As it starts to warm up, shorts are a must. I don’t know about you, but lounging around the house in denim shorts really isn’t the best option. I will be opting for soft, flexible options like this pair. They are comfy enough to spend hours at my desk in zoom meetings, but cute enough to make it out of the house! I am also loving the tie and paperbag waist of this pair!

Gifts to Stay Warm With Backcountry

Tis’ the season to bundle up! Winter has arrived and it’s time to layer up. Living in the Pacific Northwest, winters can be brutal. The temps drop and it’s rare that I leave the house without looking like a snowman, bundled from head to toe. This year, Christmas came early. E and I both needed new winter gear that was equal parts warm and stylish. We found exactly what we were looking for at Backcountry!

For the past few years, we have shopped Backcountry for all our outerwear needs. They have a huge selection of boots, jackets, scarves and hats, as well as fashionable lifestyle pieces for everyday! They carry our favorite brands, like North Face, Patagonia, Sorel, Marmot and even Free People. There is something for everyone and it makes taking on the winter chill AND your Christmas shopping list a lot easier!

With Christmas just days away…have you finished your shopping? Check out E and I’s top picks for gifts to stay warm below!

As much as I enjoy the snow, I hate being cold! The North Face Down Sierra Hooded Parka is what any girl who hates the cold dreams of! It’s insulated, making it extremely warm, and perfect for the girl on the go! The North Face Campshire 2.0 Hooded Pullover Fleece makes for a super cozy gift! It’s sherpa fabric is fuzzy and soft and traps body heat meaning you are toasty warm! Backcountry also has a huge selection of beanies and mittens that make great stocking stuffers! I love this beanie and these mittens because they slightly match. They would make a great gift set for any girl in your life!

E isn’t bothered by the cold as much as I am, and prefers lighter, easy to move in layers. The North Face Down Sierra Snap Jacket was my gift to him. He loves the modern look. It can be worn out in the snow, or paired casually over street clothes. The North Face Gordon Lyons Full-Zip Hoodie is a great gift for any man in your life! We got one for my dad, father-in-law and brother last year and they wear them almost year round. They are light, but still cozy and great zip up fleeces for layering.

At the very top of both of our winter wear gift lists are Sorel Boots. I got my first pair a few years ago, and now own multiple pairs. We figured it was time to get E a pair and now he is hooked! Sorel boots are a MUST for anyone ready to take on ice and snow in the winter.

The Sorel Joan of Arctic Wedge boots are my favorite. The wedge gives it a trendy, modern look, but that doesn’t mean they lack stability. They are extremely comfortable, warm, easy to walk in and have amazing traction. I love wearing mine in the classroom in the winter too!

E’s Sorel picks are the Cheyanne Metro Lace Up boot. Since getting them, he has gone on and on about how comfortable they are and a total game changer in the snow. They are durable and are a classic that won’t be going out of style any time soon!

Fall Staples with Walmart

Dress // Scarf // Cardigan // Booties // Backpack

September is halfway over and it’s finally starting to feel like fall around here! I’m finally getting to pull out all of my favorite fall pieces and start laying up for cooler weather. I’m so ready for boots and scarves, chunky knits and oversized sweaters! Recently, I stopped in at Walmart and picked up some pieces to refresh my fall wardrobe. I found so many great fall staple items! Walmart has become one of my go to shopping destinations for on trend pieces that don’t break the bank. I love that I can score budget friendly options without sacrificing style! Check out my fall staple picks from Walmart below and why I consider them staples!

Knit Dress: This dress is definitely a fall wardrobe staple! It’s the perfect piece for layering and it has pockets. This one is long enough for me to wear to work and can be dressed up or down. As it gets colder, I will be pairing this with leggings, turning it into a tunic style top, with tall boots. The best part about this dress is how ridiculously soft it is! It seriously feels like butter! It comes in 8 different colors and I wouldn’t mind adding them all to my closet!

Oatmeal Cardigan: While this cardigan comes in 3 color options, I love the oatmeal option because it goes with everything! This cardigan is the perfect weight for layering and I love the length! It has pockets and the perfect amount of comfy stretch.

Blanket Scarf: Nothing screams fall like a plaid blanket scarf. I am obsessed with the color combo of this one…it’s fall perfection! This scarf is amazing quality, soft and oversized, for just $13. A cute but practical way to add a little warmth and color to your fall outfit.

Booties: A great pair of booties is by far my number one fall staple! These cuties have just the right heel height, are easy to walk in and comfortable! They come in 3 color options, including the cutest leopard print pair that I just added to my cart!

Backpack: This backpack is another favorite fall find! I’ve been loving the backpack bag trend and love how chic this one is! It’s the perfect size for all my necessities, and looks way more expensive than its $22 price tag. I’ve been using this one for the classroom when I don’t have to lug my computer home!

Affordable Fall Fashion with Walmart

Cardigan (comes in 6 colors) // Scarf // Bodysuit // Jeans // Backpack // Similar Booties

Get the Look

With the changing seasons comes a need to spruce up my wardrobe and add some new pieces to the rotation. I love adding staples that I can mix and match, but I also love throwing in some of fall’s hottest trends. When shopping for fall this year, I spent some time browsing Walmart’s website and was so excited to discover a wide variety of affordable fall fashion options. Not only do they carry tons of cute and affordable options in their ‘Everyday Shop‘, but they now also offer premium brands through Lord & Taylor. I love that Walmart is a one stop shop for all things style, from closet classics to trendy seasonal items at a variety of price points!

When it comes to fall, all I want to wear are cardigans and scarves! While shopping, I eyed this cardigan and added it to my cart immediately. This cardigan is SO soft and comes in 6 different color options. I love the color and the balloon sleeves, but the under $20 price tag doesn’t hurt either. This is a closet staple that is perfect for layering this fall and winter! I have also been on the hunt for a scarf in this color combo, and was so excited to find this blanket scarf. I love the colors and think it will go with so many of my favorite fall cardigans and sweaters! I was surprised to find my FAVORITE brand of denim, Levi’s on the site as well and snagged this distressed pair immediately. They are so comfortable and I love the wash. They also have just the right amount of distressing!

While browsing the Walmart, I also stumbled across The It List, 10 trends to love this fall. I’ve been wanting a new backpack as this is a trend I have been obsessing over this season. It’s such a cute, yet functional alternative to a purse! I was so excited to see backpacks had made it as one of the top 10 categories! There were a ton of affordable fall options to choose from, but the moment I saw this option, I knew it would be the perfect fall bag. This backpack is roomy enough to hold all of my possessions. The ring closure on the front is a chic detail that reminds me of one of my favorite designers.

Here are a few more backpacks I am loving from The It List!
