INSTAGRAM ROUND-UP + LAST MINUTE HOLIDAY SALES

The Steele Maiden: Instagram Lately

Oh hi there! Remember me?! These past couple of weeks (okay.. months) have been a whirlwind between my full time job, real life and this corner of the internet so hoping you can excuse the few days of radio silence (but in the meantime be sure you’re following me on Instagram so you see the day to day). I spent most of this weekend trying to race around time to get my holiday shopping wrapped up – and if you’ve decided to wait until one week before Christmas to do your own shopping (or just have been equally busy and haven’t yet had the time) at least you can take advantage of the major sales/shipping deals happening right now. Below – what’s been up on Instagram lately + some last minute gift suggestions. And for more – check out my holiday gift guide here.

And just like that – Summer is over and Fall is here. Labor Day is one of my favorite times to take advantage of sales and pick up a few new items for the season ahead. Below – my top picks. Hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend!

ANTHROPOLOGIE: Extra 40% off sale items

– I love the statement these retro red sunglasses would make for Fall.

BANANA REPUBLIC: 40% off almost everything with code FALL40

– The color on this sweater is so gorgeous for fall and I can never resist a pretty floral dress.

FRENCH CONNECTION: 25% off full priced styles with code FC25LD

– I’m swooning over this polka dot bomber jacket!

GIGI NEW YORK: 15% off sitewide + free personalization

– My favorite crossbody bag is back in new colors for fall – I’m obsessed with the marigold color.

OLD NAVY: 50% off all tees, jeans and dresses

– This cute printed romper is perfectly weekend ready.

SOLE SOCIETY: Up to 60% off select styles

– These striped heels are one of my very favorite pairs – I’ve even had them re-soled from so much wear! 

TALBOTS: 25% off full-priced styles

– This shawl collar vest is such a chic layering piece for early fall. 

 

EARLY ACCESS: NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

Striped Shirt, Floral skirt and Sole Society tote bag

I talk about it every year, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (early access for card holders began yesterday and the sale opens to everyone on July 22nd) is truly my favorite sale of the year because it offers major discounts on all the new Fall products before the season starts (instead of discounts on say, bathing suits at the end of August that you’ll have to wait another year to wear).

With that in mind, each year I try to strategically think about the key pieces that are on my wish list for the season ahead as well as a few trendier pieces that I know will be ‘must haves’ and scoop them up during the sale. Plus, aside from Fall pieces is an awesome time to score a deal on that designer bag or sunglasses you’ve been eyeing (this pair in particular has been on my ‘lust-list’ for awhile), quality athletic wear, and amazing beauty buys (how gorgeous are these colors?!).

So if you’re a card holder like me then game on. And if not, now is the time to do some browsing so you can be ready to grab things when the sale opens to the public – because things sell out quickly at that point!

(pictured above and also part of the #NSale – this Sole Society tote in the perfect shade of ‘greige’ – that’s fashion speak for grey/beige) 

SHOP MY FAVORITE COMBOS BELOW:

Flared overalls (trust me on these) with sneakers, a ribbed sweater and ‘greige’ tote (perfect for weekend road trips)

Best of: Fourth of July Sales - summer style in Boden tunic dress, Brixton hat and Soludos espadrilles

Backyard barbecues, lazy days by the water, endless happy hours and honestly… all these sales. We’re having a 4 day stay-cation in the city this year to celebrate and you can bet I’ll be picking up a few summer things on major discount (like this swoon-worthy gingham bucket bag, cute one-piece bathing suit and fringe-y slides). I’ve rounded up some of the best of the best Fourth of July sales for you below so you don’t have to do the legwork and can get back to having a happy, relaxing, fun holiday weekend!
