The Last Hurrah {In NYC}

I spent this past weekend wandering around New York City with my best friend as a last getaway before I leave for college in a week. I did some shopping in SoHo and on the Upper East Side and picked up a few things from Tory Burch, Anthropologie, Lululemon, and Kiehl's. Overall, the weekend was wonderful, the weather was perfect and New York was beautiful as always. 

Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale

I visited the Nordstrom's Anniversary sale the day it opened to the public, and was very impressed with this year's deals. A lot of the jewelry and designer handbags (including Kate Spade and Tory Burch) were included in the sale. I found some great deals in the athletic wear section, including Zella cropped leggings, a Northface 1/4 zip, and Nike Free trainers (only $60!). I would definitely suggest checking out the sale- whether it be online or in a Nordstrom store!

Did you score any great deals at the sale?

Chelsea and SoHo Adventures

Chelsea and SoHo have always been two of my favorite places in New York City. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than that of Times Square, and the shopping is much, much better. I spent some time walking on the Highline in Chelsea, which is an old train rail that has been turned into an overhead path. After a morning in Chelsea, I made my way down to SoHo for some shopping, and came across the SoHo location of Georgetown Cupcake! And of course, I wore my new Lilly romper for National Wear Your Lilly Day!

Sunny Day on Madison Avenue

Early Friday morning, I left my hometown of farmland for a weekend in New York. New York City is one of my absolute favorite places to be. I spent late Friday morning and all afternoon in Upper Manhattan at the American Museum of Natural History and strolling down Madison Avenue. Of course, I picked up some macarons from Ladurée (which were delicious), and did some shopping in Lilly Pulitzer and Tory Burch.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday y'all! Today I took the day off of school to finally go to take my drivers test! I passed and I couldn't be happier! I also got the chance to stop by the outlets to do a little bit of shopping at Kate Spade and J. Crew Factory. 

Only one more day until the weekend; I'm leaving for my trip tomorrow night! What will y'all be up to this weekend?

Bows & Kites Discount Code

As y'all know, I am now a Campus Rep for Bows & Kites! I couldn't be more excited to be working with the brand. These are my absolute favorite bows; they are great quality and you have so many fabric options to choose from (the Lilly bows are, of course, my favorite!) The discount code EmilyCR will deduct 10% off of your total purchase price! Happy bow shopping!

Black Friday

 On Black Friday, I spent the morning and afternoon shopping with all of the other crazy shoppers of America! I ended up getting some really nice clothing pieces and accessories at great prices! I started my day out with some Starbucks right when we arrived at the mall, and then went to Lilly Pulitzer, Nordstrom, Aerie, American Eagle, Anthropologie, Free People, Sephora, and, of course, J. Crew! I will admit that I did some minor damage to my bank account (woops!) but it was worth it! I can't wait to style the pieces that I bought in upcoming posts! What purchases did you make on Black Friday?

J. Crew Factory Birthday Sale

This past weekend everything at J. Crew Factory was 50% off! I couldn't pass that deal up, so I headed out to my nearest store and picked a few things up! J. Crew Factory always has great deals, so head out to your nearest store and see what you can find!

Vineyard Vines and J. Crew

I did a little bit of shopping at Vineyard Vines and J. Crew Factory this weekend. I felt that it was time to get another shep shirt to have for the Fall. I absolutely love this one with the stripes from Vineyard Vines! They are so comfortable and go great with norts or jeans! I also found quite a few things at the J. Crew Factory store. I went in looking for the Herringbone Vest (it is sold out everywhere!) and came out with a skirt, a headband, a cardigan, a resin bubble necklace and a tee that are perfect for Fall!

A Day in Georgetown

I spent a day this weekend shopping in Georgetown. I absolutely love the atmosphere of Georgetown. Although it is less crowded during the week, it is still a ton of fun on the weekend! We walked around the waterfront, at lunch at Serendipity 3, had Starbucks and did some shopping! What a great way to spend a beautiful September day!

 

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Shoes

I went to Nordstrom Rack on my day off the other day and ended up picking up a new pair of boots! I had been searching for a pair of riding boots for the Fall during the past few weeks, and I finally found the perfect pair! They are Franco Sarto. I decided on these because they are great quality leather and were a fantastic price! I can't wait to style these one the weather gets cooler!

Lilly Pulitzer Unboxing: Endless Summer Sale {1}

I just got one of my orders from the Lilly Pulitzer ESS, and i'm super excited about it! For those of you who don't know, Lilly Pulitzer has a 3 day sale each year, and most summer and spring items are marked WAY down! Although for the past 2 years, the site hasn't been the most customer friendly, the staff at Lilly are always helpful and the shipping was very very fast!

This dress, the Ginny dress, caught my eye as soon as the sale opened up! Originally $188, it was marked down to $49!

Today I went shopping with my Mom and my Mom's best friend at a local town's annual sidewalk sale!  I got a lot of really good items, which I wasn't expecting since today was the last day of the sale, and i wanted to share them with y'all!

The local Lilly Pulitzer store was having 50-70% off of spring and summer styles! I think i tried on 5 dresses, 2 shirts, a sweater and 2 pairs of shorts in total and got 1 dress, a pair of shorts and the sweater. It literally took forever, but i am really happy about the items that i got!

Next we went to Francesca's! This is one of my favorite stores, they have really cute clothes and decent prices. They were having BOGO 50% off of clothing, so i used that to my advantage and got a top and a dress. I also got a statement necklace! Lastly we went to a store that sells brands like Vineyard Vines and Southern Proper. I got a new t-shirt from Southern Proper.

We went to a deli for lunch and an ice cream shop in the afternoon! It was a beautiful day, and a good way to start winding down the summer!
