Half Yearly Nordstrom Sale: Kate Spade New York Sunnies

I spy with my little eyes....Kate Spade New York and a half yearly sale at Nordstrom!

Kind of ended up do a little impromptu shopping at Nordstrom last night while looking for the mom-in-law's bday gift. Ended up having a "Treat.Yo.Self" moment.



Oh what a glorious day.

Can you blame me? Quite a steal for more than half off the retail price! (No worries, we still ended up finding mom something pretty and shiny).

I would srsly recommend stopping by and taking a quick glance or two at the sunglasses section in Nordstrom. I spotted a very cute polka dot Kate Spade New York sunglasses as well. Polka dots are usually a major selling point for me,  but I had been craving for the cat eye style for awhile, so I had to stick with my gut.

 Speaking of cat. Meowrrr.

Here are a few more sunglasses while we are on topic, ones that I have been majorly crushing on. Hard.

Cinco de Mayo!

Here's a couple of festive fun items I found on Etsy to spice up your Cinco de Mayo! De nada, in advance! ;)

Mustache & Sombrero fondant cupcake toppers. Aye ya yi!

Vino charms! Yeah one is a taco.

Hair dulce! Sugar skull hair clip, very festive.

super cute Mexican style apron, you know for all those carne asadas and chile relenos you will cooking up.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Cinco De Mayo! Time for me to whip up some margaritas on the rocks! Until manana. Adios.

Styles ablaze with a blazer!

I get easily excited about the abundance of stylish outfit options of blazers. It's a great piece to add to your wardrobe and can really make an outfit. Especially in a bold bright color, it can take your outfit from blah to hoorah and still look casual or dressed up. Always adding that extra boldness to your personae.

I wore my fuchsia blazer today. I also own a few black and navy blazers but given the bow tie blouse, I don't want to overdo the whole waiter look (since I actually work in retail), so I though I'd punch it up with some pink, ya know, make them think twice before handing me any dirty dishes.

 

I'm keeping it classy with a bow tie. I picked up the blouse from the epic Jason Wu for Target collection. The blazer is from Forever 21. Watch: Toy Watch.

 Working at a clothing boutique can really test your shopping willpower. But I love a good deal, and this silk-like emerald green blazer for half off its original price was a no brainer. I purchased it from San Francisco Shirt Co.The gold buttons are great accents. I think I will pair this with a gold brocade mini dress.

I should probably stop buying jackets now, but the weather is so finicky in the bay area this year, I'm sure I will get my money's worth.

What color blazer would you rock?
