As we all know Nordstrom’s anniversary sale is happening RIGHT NOW! And I might have picked a few fashion pieces (like the sweatpants and shirt I’m wearing because they are perfect to lounge at home), but I had to treat myself with some new beauty products- especially because now more than ever, it’s so important to pamper yourself!
Browsing the sale as soon as it launched, there were a few beauty exclusives that caught my eye- especially because they are products I LOVE and they came as sets (at a great value). Nordstrom is my one stop shop for all things beauty. So let me tell you what I got:
I was looking for an eyeshadow palette that works for my everyday look (aka my everyday look for shooting styling videos and content!). This set comes with a palette that has 8 neutral hues that can be used wet or dry, the Extreme Dimension 3D black Lash Mascara, and the Technakohl (a pencil styler liner that is super creamy).
MAC Haute Gossip Mini Lipstick Kit ($32.50, $60 value)
Even though I keep my eyeshadow neutral, I’m a big fan of lipstick. This curated set of five mini lipsticks from MAC was too cute to pass. It also includes MY ABSOLUTE favorite nude: Velvet Teddy (matte), I can’t wait to try them all!
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Set
I’ve heard amazing things about Pillow Talk, and I really wanted to try this set- so far, I’m loving it! It comes with the liner, the lipstick and a “Collagen Lip Bath” that provides fuller looking lips! It sold out so quickly, so it must be amazing! I’m gonna link more of my favorites below!
I picked everything online but went to my local Nordstrom to pick it up- so easy and convenient. This is my third time doing curbside pickup and I love that I don’t even have to get out of the car. And then something AMAZING happened! I was actually the 10th customer of the day to pick curbside, so the many staff members came out with happy faces and I WON a $100 giftcard!! Feeling lucky!

Nico, our two-year-old, was supposed to start school this season. We had chosen a little school for him to go half day. Since my husband and I work together, this would have given us time to focus on our projects for a few hours a day. Also, we wanted him to start interacting with other kids, and learn something every day.
Well, this year is definitely different from anything we would have ever imagine, and our plans changed. However, the current worldwide circumstances might have postponed OUR planes, but it doesn’t stop him from growing and needing to learn new things.
So, I’ve been googling activities with him, and to have some sort of learning environment and stimulate his brain in a playful way. I’ve ordered a few things: canvas, kid friendly paint, more colors, playdough, books, etc.
I also got this beautiful Vera Bradley backpack; and yes, it is for me! I loved the print and I know I’m going to use it when we travel or as a diaper bag (because it has so many compartments and it fits EVERYTHING, even a 15’ laptop).
This backpack is super lightweight but it fits all of his home-school things. I have everything organized inside so when it’s time to learn I take the backpack and I quickly set up whatever we are doing that afternoon.
It comes in 7 extremely cute patterns, and 4 solid colors. But I haven’t mentioned the best part, it is made from recycled water bottles (24 go into every pack), it is also durable and water repellent!
I can’t wait for him to get his own little backpack and go to school- but for now, I’ll enjoy this Vera Bradley for me and I’ll enjoy all the time I’m able to spend with him.
I’m absolutely loving the whole Back To School collection from Vera Bradley, there are also lunch boxes, stationary, and dorm accessories (all in a vast array of the cutest patterns and colors). And until 8/17/, there is a 25% Back-To-School essentials! Click here to learn more!
I also got this lunch cooler that I think it’s going to be perfect for the beach or picnics at the park!
We shouldn’t let this year get the back-to-school excitement from us and our little ones!
- La chaqueta es la MISMA. La decoloré en el 2012 y la he usado sin parar desde hace más de 10 años. El denim más claro me parece como vintage, haciendo que me guste más.
- En vez de sandalias, usé zapatos de goma blancos. Asà me siento más yo, y no tengo sandalias marrones!
- Los shorts, bueno, admito que los shorts a la cintura me gustan un poco más.
- Y cambié mis botas favoritas del 2011 por mis botas favoritas del 2020.
Este look fue inspirado en Victoria Beckham.
- Los pantalones del 2020 se parecen más a los que tenÃa puesto Victoria, solo que a la cintura.
- La camisa era muy informal, en vez de tela de camiseta , esta se siente más elegante.
- Pude haber usado un blazer grande como los que están de moda- pero mejor usar EL MISMO BLAZER.
- Los pumps color nude puntiagudos en vez de redondos definitivamente son más 2020.
Este look lo utilicé para ver a Taylor Swift- y sÃ, la amo.
- Lo primero fue cambiar los shorts a la cadera por unos a la cintura.
- Una chaqueta de cuero estilo motociclista en vez de bomber.
- Y como estaba usando una chaqueta, preferà usar botas- me parece que iban mejor con el look.
- Añadà un sombrero porque los amo y querÃa darle un toque extra.
- Considero que las gabardinas son MEGA MEGA clásica pero el corté que yo llevaba no lo es. Ya que no tengo una gabardina, me pareció que un abrigo camel es hasta aún más versátil.
- Ya que tenÃa un abrigo y los pantalones de cuero, preferà hacer el look más invernal con una camisa cuello tortuga y unas botitas de leopardo en vez de tacones de leopardo.
