What I Shopped At The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale #NSale

Hi Guys! I've seen numerous posts on what everyone has picked up from the fabulous Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so I figured why not jump on the bandwagon and show you the charms that I scored. Since my birthday was mid July I have been searching for a new purse, however I haven't found one that screams, "Buy me Candice, I will love you forever!" So I was searching through the sale and came across this pebbled leather Tory Burch Hobo Bag that was unique for me. I'm normally a more structured handbag person but I thought why not try something new and it's Tory Burch, enough said!  Next up are a pair of Stuart Weitzman Sandals that I have been lusting after all summer and now they are mine *insert evil laugh here* In the fall/winter seasons I live in my Tory Burch Reva Flats #HolyGrailShoes so I wanted to try a different style of Tory Burch Flats and the logo on these are a bit more subdued but still in the luxurious gold hardware. I've never owned a piece of clothing from Eliza J so I'm pumped to have this perfect fit in flare dress which is ideal for my body type. Now this Hinge hat is EVERYTHING! It fits my melon of a head, LOL, and has the quintessential brim #ItsTheLittleThingsInLife. The Nars body glow wasn't on sale but I had to have it to continue my St. Lucia glow, blogpost here. This simple black Vince dress is so easily dressed up or down. The Vigoss white jeans I was on the fence about and I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold on them but we shall see and last but not least, the crème de la creme of my shopping trip is this Topshop faux fur vest! This vest is even better in person ask every other blogger that has purchased it! It is a superb choice for fall. 

 This wraps up my shopping escapade. If you shopped the sale or just browsed let me know down below what you picked up or added to your wishlist. P.S. If you love makeup checkout the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette Giveaway I have on my blog! Hope you all have a FABULOUS day and until next time..............

Fashion Exhibition

 

Hi Guys! I just wanted to share with you an exhibition I attended at the Mint Museum yesterday. This is an incredible fashion exhibition, literally breath taking in person. Sorry for the poor quality photographs, I did not have my DSLR with me due to  this being a total spur of the moment adventure. The photos were snapped with my iPhone 5s and I hope you guys do not mind. There are styles from the 1700's to Haute Couture including Dior, Balmain, and YSL, which of course now is Saint Laurent. Both exhibits are superb. Every piece had an informational plaque that informs you  about the pieces and their designers. Here are just a few of my favorites from the collections. To find out more information about the exhibits and the museum, click here.
