My Top Purchases From The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018
Happy Friday everyone, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 is finally open to the public! This sale is known for offering some of Nordstrom’s top pieces like the BlankNYC suede moto jacket, Vince Camuto Booties and the AG Ankle Legging Jeans from last year! Oh and we can’t forget the cozy Leith cardigan and and softest Barefoot Dreams Wrap! I love the Anniversary Sale because Nordstrom isn’t just marking down items that didn’t sell over the summer, they’re selling brand new closet staples and on-trend items at unbeatable prices. It’s the ultimate time to go crazy on pre-fall denim, booties, jackets, Zella leggings, sweaters, shoes, you name it! With that being said, I’ve rounded up my top purchases from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to help you fully maximize your shopping experience.

How To Shop The Sale:
SHOP ONLINE!
You don’t live near a Nordstrom? No problem! Neither do I! Fortunately, the best way to shop Anniversary Sale is online because it allows you easily navigate all of the sale items and categories. Plus why would you get dressed and leave the house when you can everything in your pajamas on the couch! LOL
Additionally, their online shipping and return policy is amazing because they offer both free shipping and returns. So you’ve got nothing to lose!
USE ME AS YOUR GUIDE!
I traveled to Houston before the sale went live to cardholders last week to scope out the sale early to round up all the best pieces and review the live from the dressing rooms in Nordstrom! You can check out all of my try-on sessions on my Instagram stories (@hauteofftherack) as well as my blog post updates and I am happy to answer any of your questions about sizing, quality as well as my overall opinion.
5 Categories I recommend investing in during the sale each year:
1) Zella leggings & Activewear
2) A few pairs of neutral colored booties

How To Wear Wide Leg Pants
Hey everyone, today I’m sharing how to wear wide leg pants for summer with Ann Taylor. When it comes to wide leg pants, waist lines are key especially if you’re petite like me. I like to pair mine with cropped tops or a shirt that will show off my wist line. If you want to go with a looser top, you can always add a belt. Don’t get me wrong, in some cases, loose flowy tops look great with wide leg pants, but that combo tends to swallow my petite frame so I like to stick with waist accentuating tops. As for shoes, a nude heel will always elongate your legs, but they also look great will mule slides and pointy toe booties in the fall.

Outfit: Wide Leg Marina Pants, Sleeveless Camp Shirt & Lemon Silk Skinny Scarf c/o Ann Taylor | Similar Nude Heels
If you’re hesitant but you want to slowly ease your way into the wide leg trend, I highly recommend going for a chic monochromatic look like I did in today’s blog post. It almost looks like a jumpsuit and gives off an effortlessly chic vibe.
For today’s look, I could have tucked in my sleeveless shirt and added a sleek brown belt, but since I didn’t have one, I decided to unbutton the bottom two buttons and tie the front to show off my waist. I styled my all white look with some flattering nude ankle strap heels and added a tiny pop of color with this skinny lemon scarf.

Wedding Guest Book Idea
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I just wanted to share a little post wedding project that I’ve been working on with you. As most of you know, I incorporated some unique ideas into our wedding guest books so that our guests could really get creative and have fun with it! We wanted more than just signatures, we wanted memories! We wanted a book filled with our friends’ beautiful faces having fun at our wedding and custom little notes from each person. So we teamed up with FUJIFILM to allow our guests to take fun photos of themselves with Instax Mini 70 Instant Cameras at our reception and then tape them into out guest book and fill up an entire page with memories.
The Instax Mini 70 Instant Cameras are also fun to bring along the honeymoon to document your trip together! I also highly recommend them for bachelorette parties. I love being able to capture memories together that you can keep forever.

This was probably one of my favorite moments from our wedding day in Cabo.
We even provided our guests with Instax SHARE SP-2 Smartphone Printers to print photos from their iPhones to take some of their Cabo memories home with them. The Instax printers also came in handy as I was putting together my wedding scrapbook. It’s the perfect way to preserve your photos from your iPhone that rarely ever turn into hard copies that you keep forever.
They also serve as cute little personalized thank you cards to your friends. Print out a cute photo of the two of you from your wedding using the Instax SHARE SP-2 Smartphone Printer and write a little thank you on the bottom or just include the photo along with your hand written thank you card.
This is the exact guestbook we used from my GiGi New York #hauteoffthemarket Wedding Collection —>White Gold Guest Book
I also loved dancing to our song at the reception with all of these beautiful hanging lights in the background and a sign that said “You are the best thing!”

Summer Outfit Hacks with Ann Taylor
Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I’m sharing a fun Fourth of July outfit idea with Ann Taylor that is sure to keep you cool on this hot holiday. The temps have been in the high 90s down here in Louisiana lately, which makes it so hard to get dressed in the morning considering you don’t even want to put clothes. Unfortunately, no clothing is not an option so I’ve come up with a couple of cute outfit hacks to make getting dressed a little more enjoyable in this extreme heat!
1) The Scarf Top
My top favorite summer outfit hack is the “scarf top.” I love converting full, lightweight scarves into stylish cropped tops during the summer time. I found this floral embroidered scarf at Ann Taylor and it just so happens to be 40% OFF right now with code: MYSTERY
What is your favorite summer outfit hack? See how I’ve worn a scarf as a top last summer here—> Two Ways To Style Pants in the Summer Time
I love me some slide sandals especially when they’re hot pink! I scored this pretty pair from Ann Taylor for 40% OFF! A pink pair of sandals is the the perfect way to add a fun pop of color to any summer outfit.

2) Bring on the shade!
One of best ways to protect your face from the sun other than SPF is with a stylish summer hat like this pom pom Fedora.
3) Make a “cool” statement in all white!
Did you know that white and light pastel colors actually dispel heat instead of absorbing it? So not only do white monochromatic outfits make you look effortlessly chic, but it also helps keep you cool too?
If you love all of these ideas, make sure to head over to Instagram for a chance to WIN a $1,000 shopping spree to Ann Taylor to spruce up your summer wardrobe!
