My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

The best sale of the year is here!

Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, friends! I'm sure you've seen a dozen posts on the #NSale, but come on, the deals are just too good this year! I'm talking Stuart Weitzman boots for under $500, pretty lacy Free People bralettes as far as the eye can see, and enough discounted denim to make a Levi's factory envious. Plus, unlike other sales, these items are brand new, and they aren't just the funky leftovers that inhabit most sale racks. These are fashionable, timeless autumn pieces that will keep you looking chic well into 2017.

So, what's on The Fashion Barbie's Anniversary Sale wish list? I'm looking for stylish staples that will elevate my look from college girl to career woman. A classic camel coat from DvF will go with absolutely everything, and I'm adoring the feminine-chic look of this Frame bowtie blouse (paired with their also on-sale straight-leg jeans, of course). Vince Camuto has the work-appropriate leopard print purse of my dreams, and I've been lusting over the perfect cool girl hat for a while now; at $29, this Hinge topper will do the trick quite nicely.

See the rest of my Anniversary Sale favorites below!

Shopping List | Tibi Shoes

The smartest-looking shoes around

If your style tends towards that of the sculptural minimalist, then no doubt you're a fan of Tibi. The contemporary brand is always a favorite of bloggers—that one off-the-shoulder top has been everywhere—but as of late it's Tibi's shoes that are blowing up.

From fur-covered loafers and slides to modern boots and sandals, I am totally obsessed with all the Tibi shoes right now. They're statement-makers without being over-the-top, and as someone who physically cannot wear super high heels, I love the fact that they make low heels totally stylish. For summer, the furry sandals are a must-have, and for fall, there are plenty of cool boots to choose from. The hardest part is deciding which ones!

Style Crush | Bella Hadid

July 11, 2016

Style runs in the family.

Gigi may be the one you're more familiar with, but younger sis Bella Hadid is making a name for herself with some very cool street style. She also just walked in a bunch of couture shows, including Chanel, Christian Dior, and Fendi, so clearly Gigi isn't the only Hadid with the modelling bug!

Bella's personal style is very trendy-cool and easy for others to replicate. She's a big fan of skin-hugging bodysuits, bomber jackets, and denim in all shapes and forms. Give her a piece with a 90s vibe and a sexy-yet-laidback feel, and she'll be happy! Plus, she knows how to rock her natural pout and a power ponytail like no other. Chic indeed!

See some of my favorite looks of Bella's, and then how to get the look for yourself!

The Best Affordable Finds Right Now!

Can you believe this dress is only $25? Buy it here

Fashion shouldn't have to cost a fortune!

Yes, I may obsess over couture and write reviews like I was sitting front row, but it's not like I live my life in one-of-a-kind Chanel gowns. No, I'm just your average unemployed girl (hey, I literally just graduated, give me some time on the whole job thing!) with a love of fashion and a lack of money. Ugh, life is hard.

Luckily, there are options out there for girls on a budget! So I've rounded up some cute pieces out there that are all $50 or under. Talk about style steals!
