Splurge vs Save

I think it's safe to say I'm a pretty frugal person - I love a good deal as much as the next person. That being said, there are some things that I will splurge on if I feel it's worth it.

I thought it would be fun to round up some things today and see if you would save or splurge?!


First up: duck boots. What are duck boots you ask? Just the cutest accessory to your fall/winter wardrobe! Check out these images from Pinterest. #swooning

mama loves a sale

Did you all know the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going on right now!? Well, really it's only going on right now for Nordstrom card holders, but since I recently got the Nordstrom Debit card (Mama can't be trusted with the credit card) I am all about this sale.

I thought it would fun to share a bunch of favorite finds for the Friday link ups :)

Growing up I was never a "Nordy" girl - it wasn't in our budget to shop there and even when I became old enough to buy my own stuff, I still rarely shopped there. It really wasn't until I started reading Sheaffer's blog,  Pinterest Told Me To that I started regularly buying things from Nordstrom. Sheaffer highlights tons of must have items and they are usually from Nordstrom.  Now of course I am on a Stay at Home Mom budget as well, so I don't get to buy nearly as much as I would like but it's still great to once in a while to score major deals.  Oh, I should also note that I never pay full price at Nordstrom. I always wait until an item goes 40% off, then I snag it.  With free shipping and free returns, you can't beat it!

Anyways, back to the sale! I logged on yesterday to check out some things and whoa Nelly is there some good stuff.  I spent a good amount of time adding things to my cart only to see the total and then gave myself the reality check that was much needed and started deleting items one by one. {sad emoji face here} -

Buuuut I did score a blardigan! It is basically a blanket and a cardigan in one and supposedly is the comfiest thing in the world - yep the world.  I have been a blardigan virgin until now because usually these babies are $92 and that just aint happening, but during this sale you can snag one for $60! I have been eyeing this for probably 2 years now and this is the only time I've seen it go on sale. I think this is going to become my new favorite clothing item, I can't wait to receive it!!

I also snagged this super cute scarf - on sale for $12.90

Other items I'm loving are these Kate Spade glitter studs on sale for $24.90...seriously so cute right? These would make great Christmas gifts (yes, I'm talking Christmas again)

This tee looks super comfy and I'm thinking about snagging a couple. I love wearing a simple tee and dressing it up or down, definitely a favorite of mine. 
Originally $25, on sale for $15.90

On Sheaffer's blog, she has raved about these Hanky Panky underwear forever and so many people agree with her...there have been stories of girls wearing them backwards and not even knowing they are that comfy. I am not a thong person but I have been wanting to try these forever.

One more thing that I reeeeeaaallly want to get are these BP Booties -I know it's hard to shop fall in July but hey, this is the girl who shops Christmas all year round, so nothing weird about it for me.

They are on sale for $80 and originally $120...part of me thinks there is a chance they could go on sale again and maybe even at the 40% which would make them even less than $80 so I might just take my chances and wait....but they sure are pretty, aren't they?

Well those are my highlighted items - if you don't have the Nordstrom card you should go here and get one! You'll get access to all of these awesome items and much much more!

Tell me what your favorite item from the Nordstrom sale is, I'd love to hear!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! We are throwing a huge carnival themed birthday party for our first born tomorrow, so I'm off to psychotically check the weather for the 100th time
