Friday Favorites and Happenings

Happy Friday all! We have a busy weekend coming up. Heck, our next two months are busy every single weekend. Which is good, but overwhelming.

Anyways, onto Friday favorites and happenings.

ONE. So today is the day that I can shop the Nordstrom sale. Since last week, I added a few items I am interested in looking at. And if they are available, I MAY purchase them. But I am not holding my breath on them being available tomorrow as everyone who has a card can buy things.

Anyways, here is what I added to my list.

The first two are sold out, but maybe will come back into stock or be re-stocked. The first is sold out in small, but other sizes available.

BlankNYC Shirt Jacket

I wanted this one for work, but it is sold out as well....at least right now it is.

Vince Double V-Neck Dress

I really like the heeled sandals, but I can't decide on a color and if I really want/need them. Then we have another shirt jacket and this one gets good reviews by some bloggers that I follow and trust. The last is just so pretty and would be perfect for work. The price could be better though.

TWO. Remember last week I showed you all some Lululemon board shorts that I suggested to my husband? Well it turns out, he likes the Vuori Peak Boardshorts more, so he ordered two different pairs of these. One Peak and one Bahia. He loves the brand Vuori after I got him a pair of shorts for his birthday. Now he has shirts, shorts, pants and boardshorts from them.

THREE. Do you give your dog Heartgard? We do since we live in Nevada and take Walter into California which has a problem with heartworm. I used to buy it from the vet because he has his yearly heartworm test there. I was paying over about $90 for a year supply. But this year, my vet wrote us a prescription and I bought it from Chewy.com. 

That is where I get Walter's food and vitamins from (for his joints), so it was time to get my new set (ready for next month), and I got it for $57.88. Chewy just contacted my vet for the prescription. So easy and way cheaper. 

If you click the link, you will see that it is for $66.49 for auto-ship (which I set to yearly) and I had a 20% coupon off on all Heartgard meds.

FOUR. We have a housewarming party next weekend and I was seeing some good reviews on the wine glasses below. To be honest, I want them. Ha. But I was thinking this would be a good gift. What do you think? Do you have these? Are they worth it?

FIVE. Weekly funnies.







Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.

  2. I completely gave up on shopping the N sale last year and ever single item I was looking at was already sold out. Good luck!

    1. Yep. What I wanted most is gone. Ugh. I hate this sale and probably won't shop next year.

  3. I had to laugh about the cabinets because I was just told yesterday that Richard Branson had been staying in a rental because of where the launch was. I absolutely love the wine glasses, get a set as a gift and one for you, lol! I’ve been so bummed there’s so many things I want from the sale or sold out.

    1. He was one of my applicants awhile ago so I laughed extra hard at that meme. Oh that is a good idea. I definitely will get the set for me and one for them. I am sad that everything I really wanted is gone. I did get my setting powder though.

  4. The shelter where we foster from is doing heart worm together with flea and tick, all in the same dropper. New for me because we used to use the heart guard!

    1. Oh I had no idea. That is good to hear. I have always just used the heartgard.

  5. We always gave my old dog Heartguard when I was growing up! When we got Maui, I looked into it for her, but she's so tiny she's not allowed to have it as they don't have a dose small enough for her. Lol. We had to put her on Revolution for puppies and kittens because she's so tiny. Good luck shopping the NSale!

    1. Oh I had no idea. I know they have one for smaller dogs than Walter, but maybe Maui is just too tiny. I had a friend here whose dog did get heartworm, so we have to be very vigilant with it. Oh dang. How big is she? I didn't get what I wanted from the Nsale and I am mad about it. All the influencers just buy it all up and then we get nothing. Sucks.

  6. I loved that cardigan jacket too but decided to skip. I LOVE those shoes but there is no way I can wear something like that anymore. When did my feet turn into grandma status? If there isn't support, I cant do it. I actually scooped up a lot more from the sale than I originally thought I would. Only 3 of the items I wanted were sold out when I tried to add them to the bag, the rest I got! Now, 6 of the things are sold out that I got since I placed my order. Crazy how fast that happens.

    1. They only have it in black and I have a black cardigan. It is not a jacket, but everything I really wanted is gone. Ugh. I got the pjs, but in a different pattern and the Laura Mercier setting powder. Such a bust this year. What did you get?

  7. OHHH - I didnt even think to look for the heartworm meds on Chewy!! I get everything else there. I'm totally going to check right now!

    1. I didn't think to check for it either, but when I did, it is soooo much cheaper. So worth it.

  8. Those shirt jackets are really cute! Hopefully they'll go back on sale. That's something I could actually see myself getting. I'm so bad at getting new clothes sometimes, because I'm kind of cheap. LOL

    Love all the memes! Getting stuck to the chairs in the summer. Ugh, it's the worst.

    1. I love them and haven't gotten the color I really want. I ordered my back up color and I am on the watch for a restock. I am cheap at times too. Don't feel bad.

      It is the worst getting stuck in chairs or in the car. Ha.

  9. Thanks for the update about Heartgard! We use it for Max and I'll definitely check that out. I love those heeled sandals - definitely don't need them, but they're so tempting!

    1. I am glad to help. I saved so much money through Chewy. That is what I thought too. I didn't end up getting them. I want them, but not sure if I need them.

  10. I hope you manage to buy the things you want in the sale :)

    Hope you are having a nice weekend too :) Going to be a busy one for us as well with two kids birthday parties!

  11. Cute finds from the sale! I really like that black dress you were looking at for work. Hope it comes back in stock.

    1. I hope it comes back into stock too. So far it hasn't. I am ok with investing in pieces that will last and can work for both work and play.
