Abercrombie LTK Sale

I shopped the Abercrombie sale because there were a few items that I really wanted, but waited until they went on sale. But I wanted to share the items that I purchased, have or really want. I shop Abercrombie for a lot of basics. They hold up over many washes, are insanely soft and have really changed their game and offer clothes for people in my age range. 

So what is on my list and what did I purchase?

SHOP SALE HERE

DRAPEY TEE - I have this tee in four colors. It is insanely soft and stretchy. You can wear it with leggings as well.

LACE CAMI - I tried this cami on in stores and loved it. I think I had a similar one in high school. Anyways, it is so soft and I purchased it in two colors...the white and the gray. It is perfect for layering and will get a lot of use this Fall/Winter under cardigans and sweaters. I purchased it in a medium, but I could take a small (the size I tried on in stores).

SUEDE SKIRT - Now this skirt had me when I first saw it, but it is a mini skirt and I don't wear short skirts. But it doesn't ride up, it is so flattering, but it runs a tad large. I took a small in it. 
Remember, the sale ends tonight. Use code: AFLTK for 25% off your order. Also, remember that you must purchase through the app.

CORSET MIDI DRESS - How pretty is this dress? It is perfect for date night or a wedding. I want it and I am tempted to pull the trigger, but I don't have any events or date nights to wear this out on. Since I am traveling a ton soon, it just doesn't make sense.

LONG SLEEVE WAFFLE BOYFRIEND TEE - Who doesn't love a nice waffle basic? I bought this in the white in size medium. I am all about comfort and this tee screams Fall to me.

LONG SLEEVE BODY SUIT - I love Abercrombie's bodysuits. They stay in place, they have the best snaps and are smoothing. As in you don't see the lumps and bumps. I have their bodysuits in the tank version and love them. Now I will have one in a long sleeve version.

LTK Tarte Sale

First off, I wanted to ask you all....do you read blogs much anymore? I feel like engagement has been down, people are not reading blogs as much or maybe it is just mine?

I admit that sometimes when I travel, I don't get to read and comment on blogs, but I always catch up when I am back. But my page views are down, my comments are down, people are posting less and I want to get a feel for my blog going forward. So let me know, are you still reading and posting?

Anyways, the LTK sale is going on and while I don't want to just post links, I love sharing a good sale. I try to shop sales only if I can, but it doesn't always work that way. The sale goes through Tuesday, so I thought I would share Tarte today and Abercrombie tomorrow. Those are the two sales I shopped.

These are my tried and true, my favorites and items I repurchased.

SHOP HERE

TARTE IN BLOOM EYESHADOW - this is my favorite eyeshadow palette. I only use this palette anymore. I combine funny girl, rebel and firecracker for my weekend look and then replace the funny girl with charmer and flower child during the weekdays. I reordered this one.

SHAPE TAPE ULTRA CREAMY - I love this concealer. I used to use the original one and it would crease under my eyes throughout the day. The ultra creamy one does not. I get it in 29N. I also repurchased this one.

CREAMY BLUSH AND BRONZER DUO - I recently purchased this one, so I didn't repurchase, but it is an instant favorite. It goes on so smoothly, is the prettiest color combo and it stays on all day. This replaced my powdered bronzer and Stilla creamy blush that I used to use.

SEX KITTEN EYELINER - I love this eyeliner. It goes on smoothly, has a fine point, stays all day and doesn't crease in my eyelid or smudge under my eyes. I also repurchased this.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, LASHES MASCARA - I love this mascara and my Chanel one. I go back and forth between the two. I basically buy them when they are on sale and use that one up. It gives the fullest and most volume of any mascaras that I have used.

And that's it. Do you use Tarte products?

What I Ordered From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I want to start this post off by saying please don't order from ANY sale if you don't have the money, you don't need anything or if you have to get a credit card just to order from the sale. I feel like so many bloggers are just shilling and posting affiliate link after affiliate link. I am only posting what I bought to show my style, what I needed in my closet and for recommendations. I do look at a lot of bloggers posts and see what would actually fit my style before ordering. Plus Nordstrom has a free shipping and free returns, so I figured whatever I didn't LOVE would go back.

BP. Longline Cardigan - Normally $49, Sale $31.90

I have similar cardigans from Nordstrom and I wear them a lot. All year since in the Summer, they freeze our office out and then in the winter because it is just cold all the time in Northern Nevada.

Sam Edelman Riza Flats - Normally $109.95, Sale $69.90

I needed some new black flats for work (I have a pair of Tory Burch flats that I don't wear daily to keep them in good condition for work trips and special occasions) and these seemed cute and I normally love Sam Edelman shoes.

Charlotte Tilbury Smoky Eye Palette - $55

I love Charlotte Tilbury and I have been looking at eye shadow palettes for awhile now, but never bought one. Then I saw this one when browsing the sale and I love the colors and grabbed it. I hope they are just as beautiful in person.

BP. Long Leopard Cardigan - Sale $25.90

So this cardigan was hyped up by all the bloggers. I am not a huge animal print girl, but this one is actually pretty cute.
