Weekly Nordstrom Rack Visit

Hi friends. Here's what I scoped out last week at Nordstrom Rack.

This Marc Jacobs Classic Huge Hillier Leather Hobo is gorgeous in this purple shade!

This bag is so, so pretty! The purple is a violet-meets-magenta shade that I love for spring (let's be honest, it's pretty great for any time). I really enjoy the slouchy leather look, and the soft feel. It looks a little bit large on me, but I think it’s a pretty good size for most people, and very roomy. It's priced at $234, a great value considering I saw several smaller Marc Jacobs bags ticketed at the same price. If you’re in the market for a bag this hue, I’d definitely check it out (they also had a nice cognac brown color). Here it is on sale in red for $339. 

Weekly Nordstrom Rack Visit

Last week I paid my weekly visit to Nordstrom Rack. I've heard rumors that they often receive shipments on a daily basis, and I know that at the very least they get new merchandise in weekly, so I like to swing by every week. If I don't, I feel like I might be missing out.

The Kimono trend is really big right now. I've never heard of the West Koi brand before, but it was an interesting item. I personally love the style, and loved the particular print and fringe detail of this kimono, but it was one size fits all. The fringe ended well below the knee. While I know it's intended to be drape-y, I felt that this one was a bit overwhelming. Also, the chiffon-type fabric is pretty, but doesn't add warmth, and I'm always very hesitant to buy pieces that don't have much function. However, I do think that on the right person, with a nice neutral palette, this would be a really lovely piece. Check out these similar kimonos- splurge here and an affordable version here.

Nordstrom Rack Designer Sale

Hello all! Today we're getting some much needed rain in the Los Angeles area, so I thought I'd use this rainy day as an opportunity to let you all in on a designer sale at Nordstrom Rack that is currently underway.

Nordstrom Rack is advertising designer prices 50-75% off. I stopped in not knowing quite what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised at the affordable prices. I steered clear of the pricier items (like Oscar de la Renta and such) and stuck to designers that struck my fancy. Here's what I tried! (Note: the pieces I picked up were either size 0, XS, or 25. I saw mostly small and large sizes, and not a whole lot in between).

 I like this Current/Elliot studded denim shirt, which I tried in a size 0. I never really embraced the denim shirt trend, so this would have been my first. I LOVE the stud detail on the collar, and the little shoulder plackets. This definitely has expensive details (and no wonder, it was originally $198.00!) I liked the medium wash, and the breast pockets. I liked the slim fit and the length. My only complaint was that maybe the sleeves seemed a little bit wide. I kind of loved this shirt, but for $64, I just really couldn't justify it. I'm not crazy about the denim-on-denim look, and I wear jeans almost every day, so this shirt wouldn't get a lot of wear in my wardrobe. But for someone looking to spend on a quality denim shirt, I have to say this is the way to go. Swing by your Rack and check it out. Get it On Sale for $89.10 here!
