Our Picks from Nordstrom's Half-Yearly SALE!

{this blog contains affiliate links}

Yesterday Daphnie and I went to Nordstrom and shopped 'til she dropped...literally. She couldn't shop for another second without a serious meltdown, so I grabbed my armfulls of goodies I had been carrying around and checked out. To my surprise, I spent a LOT less than I had expected. Almost everything I bought was 40% off OR MORE! I even snagged new matching UGGs for Daphnie and I! Check out some of our picks, and others I ended up buying online after since my shopping buddy was shopped out.

Last-Minute Sales before Christmas!

We are down to the final days and I could not be more excited! There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing Daphnie's face light up on Christmas morning. She still believes in Santa Claus and her simple belief in the magic of it all is pure bliss.  

If anyone needs any last minute gift ideas, here is a list of stores and their pre-Christmas sales this weekend! I also tagged stores below that let you shop online and pick up in store the same day!

Bloomingdale's  ||  Extra 15% Off  || Ends 12.24

Kate Spade New York ||  up to 30% Off with code EXTRATREAT  || Ends 1.3

Coach  ||  Extra 50% Off  ||  Ends 12.25

Pottery Barn  ||  up to 70% Off  || limited time only

West Elm  ||  Extra 60% Off  || limited time only

Williams Sonoma  ||  up to 75% Off  || limited time only

I will admit I've done most of my Christmas shopping online this year. At least half of the gifts I bought, were purchased online, but picked up in the store - sometimes within just hours of ordering, which will work perfectly for those super-last minute gifts!

Target

Nordstrom

Kohls

JCPenney

If you don't have time to shop, then think about giving e-gift cards!

The Most Versitile {and comfortable} Dress

About two months ago I came across a picture of  one of my favorite fashion bloggers, and she was wearing the cutest casual dress! So the next day I went shopping and after trying it on, decided that I needed two different colors. 

This dress is the cutest and most comfortable, and super versitile. You can literally style this dress so many ways. The options are endless!

11 Reasons Why the Elf Forgot to Move...

Ugh...here we are in the midst of Elf Season. We are starting to run out of ideas for moving Taffy, Daphnie's Elf on the Shelf, around the house. What's worse is we are always forgetting to move her. I swear, every other night I get all cozy in bed and then pop back up just as I'm drifting to sleep...{oh *%$@! I forgot to move Taffy!!!} Thankfully my husband is amazing and always volunteers to go move her to her next location. 

- BUT -

If you are just far too exhausted and either don't have that OH %$#@! moment or jut don't want to remove yourself from the comfort of your warm bed, arm yourself with one of the below excuses as to why the Elf didn't move last night...

Enjoy!

1. The Elf must have been too scared of your pet(s) to move.

2. The Elf reallly liked that spot and wanted to stay there {at least} one more day. 

3. The Elf really wanted to build up their strength for their next move.

4. Santa must have given him the night off.

5. Maybe the Elf got stuck and needs help from another Elf to get unstuck.

6. The Elf may have accidentally fallen asleep after watching you all day and slept through the night.

7.  You didn't go to sleep very well and were up too much last night.

8. He most definitely did move...isn't that foot in a different spot??

9. The Elf has a really good view from that spot, so it's probably going to go there a lot. 

10. The Elf isn't feeling very well from eating too many cookies. 

11. The Elf must be testing us to make sure we are paying attention...we are! Go us!!

Christmas Shopping in Fur & Glitter

This is definitely Daphnie's new favorite sweater! She doesn't hardly want to wear anything else. It's so soft and fluffy, and I can only imagine how cozy she feels in it!

It comes in Pink and White, and is sold at Target {HERE}

Daphnies adorable Ruffle Glittery shoes are sold {HERE} - the glitter and ruffle detail are so cute! Shoes are probably her favorite thing, and she's really into trendy sneakers right now, these definitely fit the bill.  {Use code HOLIDAY for 20% off these sneakers!}
