Ever since Reese Witherspoon created her own fashion brand, I have obsessed over the Southern styles. From floral dresses to classic gingham tops, Draper James is the epitome of feminine prep. Charming outfits that you can wear to work, Sunday brunch with friends, casually running errands, or hosting a dinner party. It’s a brand I go to when I am looking for something classic and feminine.

Happy Friday! There is a lot to celebrate; The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started today, Bastille Day is this Sunday, and Nadal vs. Federer / the Wimbledon finals are happening. Too much excitement for one weekend, let me tell ya! I have been watching Wimbledon all week long. I really hope Federer wins but if not I am happy with the other players- Nadal, Djokovic. Serena will obviously win for women’s, but Halep will give her a challenge. I am SO sad Serena and Murray are no longer in the mix doubles, I was loving them playing together. Tennis is the Tony Awards of sports. Everyone supports each other and it is so nice to see.
Today marks the beginning of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Event. Early Access means if you have a Nordstrom card you can start shopping the major sale early before it goes open to the public. The Nordstrom Sale is pretty good this year, I have to admit that the last year or two the items were not that great. I even skipped the sale last year. But this year there is a lot of great options; anywhere from coats to basics to everyday needs to skincare, this is the time to grab what you need and want. As the sale continues Nordstrom will add more and more items. So keep checking back on the website, but don’t hesitate to buy as items do sell out fast. Nordstrom has a generous return policy. I will also update my Nordstrom shopping page on my blog (seen here). The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be opened to the public on July 19th.

Are you feeling blue now that the 4th of July is over? Do you find yourself playing Stars and Stripes Forever on repeat? Oh, that is just me…….Anywho, I always feel this way after a major holiday, like coming down from a high. I call this a holiday hangover, also known as the holiday blues. We spent weeks building up excitement for one particular day and when that day is over what is left for us to look forward to? Our next major holiday is not until Halloween. Luckily for me my birthday is in-between the 4th and Halloween, but as the years roll on turning older is not something to look forward to anymore. So how do we get over the holiday blues?
