#NSale & Secrets of Nordstrom

It's that time of year again, where people go crazy over the Anniversary Sale at Nordy's. As some of you know, I had the privilege to work there for a year and blessed to work through two anniversary sales (they should have sarcasm be a different font.) The entire purpose of the Early Access is so that when you walk through Nordstrom you feel like the unpopular kid who can't go in the white tents. You see people walking in and out like it's Diddy's white party. It is Nordstrom's way of tricking you into getting a card with them. Nothing wrong with getting the card- just get the debit, because the credit has an average of a 21% interest rate. Anyways, let me break it down for you.
Worth the buy: Look for things that typically don't go on sale...ever. This will be your Tory Burch, Burberry, Hunter, Rebecca Minkoff, or the Nordstrom Exclusives. If you don't have to have it, wait a little longer, because by the time fall really comes around it will probably be at Nordstrom Rack. People who spend thousands (yes people I said thousands) on this sale are probably just stocking up for christmas, so when you see those people don't freak out!

Nordstrom Secrets:
1. If the item you want to buy is cheaper elsewhere, simply show them the website and they will price match the item and beat it by a dollar. Make sure it is the exact same thing (size and color.)
2. If you have coupons to other stores (like Macy's) and Nordstrom has the item, they will honor the coupon and price adjust accordingly.
3. Most time you can get out of paying expedite shipping if you are ordering in store and you throw a pity party (or if it is around the holidays.)
4. You can wear and tear any item you have bought from Nordstrom and return it at anytime. Yes, even it it has holes and is worn out. This is part of their no return policy.

If you are wondering why none of the sales people have ever told you about this, it is because they are on commission, which means they want to earn the most from your purchase. However, they will do anything you ask because customers come first, and a discounted sale is better than no sale at all.

Into the Wild in JJCOLE STYLE








On my husband's day off, we try to go out and explore the cities around us, so with the warmer weather that we have been having, we decided to take Camden to the zoo! It was his first time at the zoo, and what better place to go than the first zoo - the Philadelphia Zoo.

We did end up taking the stroller, but he spent most of the time in our favorite baby carrier by JJ Cole. It is called the Agility Stretch Wrap Carrier and it is so great for when you still want to look stylish. My son is too heavy for me to carry, and most carrier kill my shoulders, but this one doesn't! It is stretchy and soft and Camden stayed put unlike other carriers where he tries to wiggle out.

We also brought the JJ Cole Collections  Caprice Bag. The stylish bag comes with stroller straps and a padded shoulder strap (life saver!) I have a couple different diaper bags but this one has so many pockets, so it is perfect for any mama (or an overpacker like me.) It also matched our stroller color, which is a plus!

At the end of the day, we took time to take a break, because i've learned you have to with a little one or they will become moody. Instead of taking out blankets and worrying about them blowing away and getting dirty, I realized very quickly that the perfect solution was the outdoor blanket. It is very easy to set up. The outdoor blanket is also thicker than a blanket so grass doesn't stab you and concrete isn't so hard for your little one. When done, all you have to do is fold it and it becomes a cute little bag. It is a MUST HAVE for anyone with kids and basically for anyone who loves to be outside in general. Overall, it was a fun day at the zoo and it was made so easy because of the JJ Cole Collections products!

Central Park







For my birthday this year, my husband surprised me with a trip to New York City! We only live two hours away but it was still really nice to go for a few days and spend time with Jeff. I think one of my favorite places to visit was the Central Park.  The park is so pretty this time of year, everything is finally blooming up north! We went there every day it did not rain, then we would go back to Times Square or hang out around 5th.
