Best-Dressed Guest: What to Wear to a Spring Wedding

Spring wedding season is here, and I know you’ve got one question on your minds – “What on earth am I going to wear?” But don’t you worry, because I’ve found dresses that’ll make heads turn and have you on the best dressed guest list. Spring wedding fashion is all about floral prints, pastel palettes, and soft but elegant looks. Whether you’re going to a laid-back garden affair or a swanky evening soirĂŠe, I’ve got the the perfect picks for you.

Let’s start with this show-stopper gown that’s a dream come true for a black-tie event. I mean, can we talk about the bow detailing? It’s not every day you come across a gown that makes you say, “Wow, that bow is everything,” but here we are, and I am completely obsessed. I couldn’t even pick which color I loved more so here we are with both.

Headed to an outdoor wedding? Oh, do I have the perfect dress for you – this one-shoulder printed maxi dress is the IDEAL pick. This fun print is just screaming spring vibes. Pair it with some strappy sandals for a laid-back yet sophisticated look, and you’re all set.

And if you’re looking for something a bit more casual, this pastel floral romper is the answer – it’s subtle, yet absolutely adorable. Pair it with some open-toe sandals or a classic wedge and it’s perfect for those who want to keep it lowkey but still look put-together.

And for the bride? Well, I’m sure you’ve already found your perfect dress for the big day! But this sweet set with pink lining in the perfect getting-ready outfit. Buttons are must have to keep your hair and makeup intact, but the pink detailing makes this the perfect piece. Whether you’re sipping on some pre-ceremony bubbly or snapping those behind-the-scenes pics, you’ll look absolutely picture-perfect – and comfortable, too!

And I haven’t forgotten about the rehearsal dinner – an event almost as important as the wedding itself! I’ve stumbled upon the dreamiest dress that is perfect for the occasion, with its delicate bodice lining and floral detail that’s just right for a spring evening. It’s light, airy, and oh-so-sophisticated, striking that perfect balance between formal and fun.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: My Wishlist and Everything You Need to Know to Prep for the Biggest Sale of the Year

Who doesn’t love a good sale? I know I do! And the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the most eagerly anticipated sales of the year. Starting from the end of July to early August, this sale is like no other. With exclusive discounts on items that rarely ever go on sale, you’ll want to make sure you’re prepped and ready to catch the deals. To help you get started, I’m sharing my wishlist and everything you need to know to prep for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

1. Dates and Times: Mark your calendars – the sale starts on July 17th with Early Access dates from July 11-16. During the first week, access is limited to Nordstrom cardholders. But don’t worry if you don’t have a card. You can sign up now and get access to the sale immediately. The second week is open to everyone, so make sure you have your shopping list ready.

2. What’s on Sale: What’s great about this sale is that it’s not old, out-of-season items that are being discounted but rather the newest items for the upcoming season. This year, I have my eye on anything from designer handbags, shoes, and jewelry to cozy sweaters and jackets. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on these deals.

3. Do Your Homework: Before the sale starts, browse Nordstrom’s website to check out their upcoming merchandise. Then, create your wishlist and add the items to your shopping cart. When the sale starts, you’ll be able to quickly add them to your cart and check out before they sell out. Keep in mind that popular items go fast, so act quickly. 

4. Get Early Access: Nordstrom cardholders get early access to the sale and can start shopping a week before the sale opens up to everyone else. Sign up now for a Nordstrom credit card to enjoy early access to the sale. You can also use your card to earn reward points on your purchases. 

5. Free Shipping and Returns: One great thing about Nordstrom is their free shipping and returns. If you’re not happy with your order, you can return it for free or bring it to a store for hassle-free returns. With free shipping, you can order from the comfort of your own home and avoid the crowds at the store.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on items you’ve been eyeing for months at unbeatable prices. Take advantage of the early access, browse the merchandise, and make a plan of items you want to purchase. Remember, this sale only comes around once a year, so don’t miss your chance to score the deals of the season. Be sure to follow me on LTK to see all my top picks!

How to Make the Most of the Lilly Pulitzer Splash Sale

Is there anything better than summertime and Lilly Pulitzer? How about an epic Lilly Pulitzer summer sale? They rarely have big sales (typically, they only have two big sales a year) so I am extra excited about this one. The best part is that the items on sale are all in-season styles you can wear immediately with pieces up to 60% off!

The Lilly Pulitzer Splash Sale will start at 8am Wednesday, June 27th! There will be a virtual line to get into the sale (if you’re an avid Lilly shopper you know how this works) but for those who are new to the sale, just think of it as trying to snag tickets to your favorite concert. Make sure to check in early to get a good spot in the virtual line and don’t refresh your browser once you’re in. And when you do make it to the sale, don’t be afraid to place multiple orders to ensure you get that must-have item before it’s gone. Happy shopping!

Pro tip: Shop by size! Not only will this speed up the process, but it will also give you more time to shop and score some great deals. And if you’re looking for some inspiration, I’ve pulled together some of my recent favorite Lilly looks to help guide your shopping bags. Happy shopping!
