It's FRIDAY, and you know what that means!
I'm linking up today with my friends Andrea, Erika and Narci for Friday Favorites!
So it's September 4th girls!
And although it doesn't feel like fall yet, fall IS in fact approaching (I promise!), and I'm crossing my fingers that cooler temps come with it!!!!!
I am officially over summer clothes. WAY over.
I talked some about transitional clothing a couple of weeks ago and had a good outfit example HERE (think flare jeans and plaid) to hopefully inspire you to start prepping for fall outfits (my favorite kind of outfits!).
I've also been trying on some new fall clothes in store (and ordering online) trying to find some good staple pieces for my closet. One thing that I'm for sure on the hunt for is a couple of fall dresses. I didn't have any last year, and there were a couple of occasions where I wished I would have had a dress to throw on.
A dress that you can just throw on and look totally put together is definitely a FAVORITE.
Click HERE for this buffalo plaid dress (it comes in a dark red as well).
I threw it on the second it arrived in the mail (hence the no shoes), but I just wanted to see if it fit!
And it did!
buffalo check dress / earrings / necklace
I will wear boots like THESE with it.

And you know I'm not going to talk about fall coming without talking about military jackets. Cuz they're my FAVORITE.
I've got several options for you today!
military jacket w/ contrasting sleeves
This military jacket has fun sweater like sleeves, and is a good alternative to a plain jacket if you are looking for something with a little extra oomph. For size reference, I was wearing a small.
earrings / similar jeans by same maker / nude patent flats / watch
Or maybe you prefer a more classic jacket?
THIS one fits great!
It's a little longer than the others I have, so it covers the bootie!
It has a waist that you can cinch in, and it has a very flattering fit. I also love the brass hardware.
military jacket / similar black tee / similar jeans from same maker / earrings / converse
Or maybe you have several army green jackets in your closet (you know I don't judge), and you want to mix it up a bit.
I love this one in navy too!
military jacket / similar black tee / similar jeans from same maker / earrings / converse

It's no secret that THESE $8 earrings are some FAVORITES of mine.
Last week I let you know that they had released crystal....
and now they've released a hematite!
You'll see them on the blog next week!
And the coral and green (found HERE) are 50% OFF right now making them $3.98!

Cassie, my girlfriend that blogs over at Hi Sugarplum,was featured last month in the Better Homes and Gardens publication REFRESH!
Cassie is definitely a FAVORITE of mine ;),
and I absolutely loved getting to see her highlighted in the magazine.
It's a great article, there are gorgeous pics of her home, and I really loved getting to see the precious pic of her darling family!!!
Click HERE for a behind on the scenes look at the magazine shoot on Cassie's blog!

So, I don't normally decorate for fall around my house, but I guess the new house is inspiring me. I got a bee in my bonnet (yes, I totally feel like a grandma for saying that expression), and made this wreath a couple of weekends ago.
And you guessed it, it's now a FAVORITE.
When I saw the burlap flowers and chevron burlap at Hobby Lobby, I was inspired! :)
The whole project cost me about $40!

After I made the wreath, I finally decided to erase the chalkboard that I had done for Easter.
You know, since it's September and all.
I used a chalk pen this time instead of regular ol' chalk, and this chalkboard is now
a FAVORITE as well! :)

You know a good sale is a FAVORITE of mine FO SHO.
I hope you saw my HUGE Sale post HERE.
If you didn't, go HERE immediately. Now. Seriously.
While surfing Nordstrom the last couple of days, I found some new items in the sale that I thought you ladies might be interested in. If you follow me on facebook, you might have seen them there already, but they are just appearing on the blog for the first time today.
Find this shawl cardigan for 65% OFF, which means it's now only $23.90.
And it has 17 5 Star Reviews.
I like the tan (on the left) and the grey the most (not pictured).
Somebody commented on facebook yesterday that she has it, loves it, and recommends sizing down.
Click HERE.
Select colors of Sam Edelman Felicia flats HERE.
Y'all know I talk about my nude patent Ellen flats and my new cognac pointy toe flats, but I'm telling you, nothing beats the comfort of the Felicia flat.
And several colors are now 40% OFF HERE!!!
Including this beautiful red color that was just added to sale colors!
And there are several other items I've highlighted previously that are NOW ON SALE!
Click HERE for the jacket that is now 55% OFF, making it under $140.
(Regular Price: $328). For a suede and leather jacket.
Now THAT'S a GREAT deal!!!
There are a ton of PJ Salvage pjs ON SALE HERE.
Find all Zella gear that's in the sale HERE.
colorful reversible jacket HERE / physique jacket HERE
40% OFF for both jackets!!!!
I would suggest sizing up in both jackets. I'm wearing a medium in both.
$8 studs HERE
I thought this next blouse was very unique and a lot of fun!
prarie tapestry peasant blouse / cami /
wit and wisdom dark jeans / boots
This top is very sheer, so you will definitely have to wear a cami under it. I love it with jeans, but it would also be great for the office with THESE black pants.
For size reference, I'm wearing a small (so it's true to size).
popover / jeans / booties / necklace / earrings / watch / "fur" vest?
The "FUR" vest is now 40% OFF!
For size reference, I'm wearing a small in the top and a small in the vest.
The collar was too big for me (I can't handle a big black collar with all of my big black hair)....but it was an AWESOME vest. Especially for somebody with blonde or red hair.
AND THINK ABOUT HOW CUTE this blue and green top will be WITH WHITE JEANS, A MILITARY JACKET, and BOOTIES!!!! DYING!!!!
I also am thinking that THIS puffer vest (also on sale!) will be darling paired with it.
Scarf tie blouse HERE is 50% OFF.
For size reference, I'm wearing a small.
It comes in several colors and patterns, and it's a PERFECT blouse for the office! It would also look great paired with jeans and heels!
*
A good scarf is definitely a FAVORITE of mine.
I think a scarf adds great color and texture to an outfit, and you know
I love to add interest with layers.
I think these two are both awesome!!!
When I originally posted this picture last week, the paprika fringe scarf was in stores, but not yet online.....and not it's available online!
PLAID INFINITY SCARF / FRINGE INFINITY SCARF
tank / earrings / necklace/ similar jeans by same maker / nude patent flats / watch

So I shared a couple of pics with y'all last week of Carter on his first day of school.
So when Nordstrom asked me if I would talk about back to school kid's clothes and shoes, it
was an easy "yes" for 3 reasons:
1) I had a kid that did in fact just go back to school.
2) When said kid went back to school, he did in fact wear clothes from Nordstrom.
3) Nordstrom's kids' department ROCKS.
tee HERE / shorts sold out /Carter's Sperry's HERE (20% OFF right now!)
And you can find big kid sizes of Carter's Sperry's HERE.
If you've seen me highlight them before, then you remember that they don't really tie. They actually velcro and the ties are fake.

Look how cute the back of THE SHIRT is.
And look how cool he is throwing up his peace signs. :)
My goodness his eyes melt me.
He's so proud!
So, I just noticed that his I Have a Theory tee is sold out now (boo!), so I have some other graphic tee options for your little guys...as well as some shirts and pant options as well.
With the exception of the jeans and the button up, everything here is COZY, so it's totally Carter approved.

I got the Stride Rites pictured below for Carter.

And just because, I thought you might want to see what the first thing that happens is each day when Carter gets home.
He lays down on the floor and loves on his brother.
These two are my FAVORITES.
See y'all back here on Friday!
Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring the kid's shoe and apparel portion of this post!

Sheaffer :)
