Kailan's 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul Review

Kailan's 2018 Nordstrom Sale Haul Try-On
Usually when I order clothes online, I always return at least one item. Not this time! My Nordstrom Sale picks did not fail me and I'll tell you now: if there are sizes left in any of these items, go for it! Since the stock is dwindling down at this point, I have suggestions for alternatives, along with some quick styling ideas!



Get the Look for Less: Jessica Alba's Collared Tan Jumpsuit and Red Slides

Jessica Alba Tan Jumpsuit and Red Slides Look for Less
This tan SEA New York jumpsuit that Jessica Alba is wearing seems like one of those items that would appear frumpy on the hanger, but looks KILLER on - or at least it does on her! It's tailored utility style has a bit of a vintage vibe. We love that she chose a bright red shoe to compliment the earth tone, and we are even more obsessed with her J-Lo and/or Beyonce-inspired high pony (that volume!) and gold hoop earrings.



Lucy Hale's Pink Bomber Jacket and Gold Mules Look for Less

Lucy Hale Pink Bomber Jacket and Ray-Ban Look for Less
Lucy Hale's outfits always go down as some of our favorites ever! She can go from feminine and simple to a little more on the edgy side, yet she always achieves it with distinct pieces, like this pink leather bomber jacket and gold mules. Suddenly a pair of high-rise frayed jeans and a nude tank don't look so boring...especially when you can snag her exact shoes for $54 on sale! The ever-popular Ray-Bans are somewhat reasonable at $168 compared to the price tags on most designer brands, but there are plenty of cheaper lookalikes out there if you're not ready to commit (neither are we).

They sent me a few products to try and I’m passing them along with some quick thoughts!

Get the Look for Less: Ashlee Simpson's Red Floral Blouse and Wide Leg Cropped Pants

Ashlee Simpson Red Floral Blouse and Wide Leg Pants Look for Less
Ashley Simpson wears a bold pair of wide leg cropped pants and a red floral blouse, and we don't hate it. Though the pants look like they might need some ironing, the belt is super flattering and the snake print pumps create an edginess with mixed prints. The Michael Kors pumps we found are on sale from $135 down to $65! But the real question here is: would you rock pants like these?
