Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. Did anyone else feel like the Nordstrom sale, Amazon Prime Day and Target Summer Sales were all just OK? I had several items in mind that I hoped would be on sale on at least one of the sites and nothing. And then a bunch of stuff sold out quickly. I just felt defeated as I do every year and the only two items I bought on Prime Days were these:
I needed a clothes steamer since I am too lazy to iron and also wanted it for travel. I got this for $15.39.
I don't have a kindle, only the kindle app. My kids have kindle fire kids, but none of us actually own a kindle reader. I do a lot of reading out in the sun, while we are on vacation, while we are camping and places where it is inconvenient to read on my iphone or ipad. So I finally grabbed one during the Prime sale and got it for $59.99.
TWO. And right before I left work on Monday, I decided to order four booster car seats. My girls are almost ready to move to a full booster seat (not backless) and since Amazon had some good deals on their car seats, I pulled the trigger. Well, I first texted Rory and had him take a look.
I figured I would buy these, then check out all the reviews (Amazon had great reviews) on Consumer Reports, basic google searches and a few other car seat websites I have checked out before. And the good news is, they got good reviews, so we are keeping them. They arrived on Wednesday.

THREE. So after Wednesday's Nordstrom post, you all convinced me to order the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings. If I don't like them, I can return them for free, so it seems like it is a no brainer here. But I am hoping I love them and can wear them out on date night, girls night out and other events.
What are you ordering today at the Nordstrom sale now that it is open to the public? I am really hoping they restock the satin lace cami.

FOUR. Funnies of the week.
I am linking up with April, A Little Bit of Everything, Meet @ the Barre and Becky.
Have a great weekend!
I bet you'll love those Spanx leggings -- I've heard great things! Hope you have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really hope I do. They seem like a total winner. Have a great weekend as well!
DeleteThat car is the story of my life :)
ReplyDeleteI CANT wait to hear how much you love your Kindle- because you're gonna - no doublt!
Haha. It was pretty funny when I saw it. I bet I will. I did get it and now I just need to set it up. I was reading from my iphone at dinner last night and wished I had it set up already!
DeleteI would think NOrdstrom would HAVE to restock that cami! It was such a popular item and it flew outta there within a couple of hours so I'm sure they'll restock it. Good luck! I hope you get one!
ReplyDeleteThey did restock it, but after your review of it being shorter, I decided to not get it. i have a really long torso.
DeleteI considered the kindle but I don't really read enough ebooks to make it worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteThat is how I read most books. I rarely get a real book anymore.
DeleteI bought that steamer on Black Friday for J and we love it!! I had some success with the NSale. I'm happy they had brighter colors for their fall items this year!

I can't wait to see what you got. Glad you love the steamer. I can't wait to use it.
DeleteI hope you love those leggings! And I am hoping Nordstrom does some restocks, too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the leggings!
DeleteI died at that last one! You are going to love the leggings, I can't wait until it is cool enough to wear them. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love them so much. They are a huge hit.
DeleteOkay, all those funnies got me this week haha there are so many great memes around lately! I only got two things for Prime Day this year. I ordered Kindle Fires for both my boys since they were selling two for $99. No-brainer.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing memes and then reposting them. I get a big kick out of them too. My in-laws also got the kindle fires for my girls. WE have them at our house and now they have a set at their grandparents.
DeleteI had the striped Caslon tshirt in my cart and by the time I could get to check out...it was sold out. I was so mad! I am like hellllllo restock! But now I see it isn't even an option anymore. So rude. I didn't buy a single thing from Prime Days. I do need a steamer. Hate I missed that deal!
ReplyDeleteOh total bummer. After seeing some reviews on the tshirt, I saw that it was shorter in length and I have a long torso, so it probably would have been sent back anyways. I hate when I miss a good deal too!
DeleteLove the funnies at the end! You picked some nice things in the sales too! I am avoiding all the sales as I'm doing no buy July again this year! I'd love a clothes steamer though, I hate ironing!
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a great weekend :)
Away From Blue
I wish I did a no buy July. I bought way too many things. But I did return a bunch that just didn't work.
DeletePrime Day was full of a lot of random deals.. we bought a variety of bulbs and batteries for around the house for almost 50% off. I got a Aquaphor set for $2 and other such deals on vitamins etc.
ReplyDeleteI love getting a good deal on normal everyday things. I should have stocked up on those items too.
