off the shoulder top: local find in San Miguel, MX (really similar options here, here & here) // jeans: dl1961 ‘Florence’ in Dixie (similar here & here) // sandals: F21, old (super similar here) // earrings: Stephen Dweck (also, similar here)

This shirt may be one of my all-time favorite finds. I was browsing a local shop of handmade goods in San Miguel, Mexico when I spotted it with a matching traditional skirt. It was flow-y, and lightweight and I liked that it had an open hem at the bottom (not into the elastic many brands put at the bottom). I have probably worn this top no less than 15 times in the month since I got home, and I don’t plan on slowing down. It. Is. perfection. The off the shoulder look is also so easy for summer. You can pair it slightly tucked into shorts, with a skirt, or with jeans.

Also, I’ve rounded up my favorite off the shoulder picks below!

Ok people. In less than 3 hours, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts and you need to get ready. Not exactly sure what this sale is? You’re not alone — I can honestly say that last year was the first year I had the chance to shop the sale, and it was incredible.

Nordstrom is the only retailer that take exclusive fall fashion and offers them at a fraction of the price — you can get some serious deals during this sale, and the best part is is that the sale doesn’t open to the public until July 17th — meaning that if you’re a Nordstrom card holder, you can shop the sale before everyone else from July 9-16. Products are limited, so many of the best deals sell out during this period – so make sure you sign up for the card! It’s well worth it for the early sale access alone.

I’m currently eyeing these Nadri ear crawlers for $35 $22.90, these Stuart Weitzman boots for $625 $399, and this Rebecca Minkoff crossbody for $225 $144

Sale starts bright and early, so make sure you get the good stuff before it sells out! Happy shopping, and let me know what you score!

romper: take a peek floral romper // sandals: zara (similar here)

I wouldn’t say that this romper is something I would normally pick out, but something about the light blue color mixed with the floral pattern and the fun cut out was calling my name so I felt like I had to give it a try [Also, the price was right at just under $60 (!)] The romper arrived and the colors were so pretty in person — I also loved that I could easily wear this all summer – as a coverup or all by itself!
