The Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is back again and I feel like it just left! If you are not aware, Nordstrom’s runs anniversary sale each year featuring select Fall & Winter items at a reduced price. For those of you who like to shop ahead of the season, this is the perfect sale for you. If you are like myself and its too hot to think of boots and coats, then you probably will pass and wait until it gets cold enough lol.

I typically don’t shop the sale or give it too much thought because every blogger and their mama is talking about “what you NEED” from the sale. Its honestly quite annoying and I find myself rolling my eyes at every cardigan and bootie that is being put in my line of sight.

When I shop the Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, I like to pick up one or two pieces that I feel is unique and something I can wear even during the summer months. At least then I can wear it now instead of waiting until November when it gets cold here in Dallas.

Anyhoo, I did a poll on my Instagram (are you following me there, you should) to see if you guys wanted a roundup of my Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale picks and over 80% said YES! So here we are! I decided to do an under $150 round up to keep it more on the affordable side and make it less overwhelming to shop. I think my picks are pretty versatile, unique and to the point! What do you think?

When Can You Shop The Sale?

Will you be shopping the Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale? If you have a Nordies card, you have access to shop the sale NOW thru July 18th! If not, the sale is open to the public on July 19th!!

boyfriend shorts, age appropriate shorts, shorts under $50

10 SHORTS UNDER $50 THAT DON’T SHOW YOUR BUTT CHEEKS

written by Tanika Green

Boyfriend shorts are my easy, go to’s when it comes to shorts! They have a loose fit, typically some nice distressing and guess what? They are age appropriate for a girl over 30! I wore a pair of boyfriend shorts on my Instagram the other week. Some of you asked where did I find shorts long enough that my butt cheeks aren’t hanging out? LOL the struggle is so real! I immediately knew how they felt. When I go shopping and look for a pair of shorts, its so hard! They are beyond short! I’m talking “Daisy Dukes.” I’m sorry, but I can’t go around with booty shorts on. How is that even comfortable?

Anyways, I rounded up ten pair of denim shorts that are butt cheek friendly, all under $50!! I hope you find this a little helpful in your quest to find cute, stylish, age appropriate shorts. Lets face it, we don’t want to wear shorts that either a) you look like an 18 year old in (although I don’t mind looking younger lol) or b) shorts that look like you’re wearing a diaper or an 80’s fanny pack! So not cute!

See you Thursday for another fashion post!!

Hello loves! There is always something quite whimsical and dreamy about wearing tulle. This tulle skirt is no exception! I wore this skirt on the blog quite a while ago (click here) during the hot, Texas summer. Well, let me tell you, it is still perfection for this breezy, cool weather. Its even dreamier as the wind catches the tulle and it creates a little bit of movement! My favorite photo from this shoot is the one above. Gorgeous right?! I keep swooning at it. Also, if you’ve been following me for a while, you guys should know by now that I am crazy about leather! I can’t get enough of it. It’s a consistent go to piece in my wardrobe.I recently purchased this gem of a leather jacket the other week. Its no surprise that I have been wearing it constantly. So I had to put my spin on wearing a tulle skirt by edging it up with this textured, leather jacket. I think the whole look is quite perfect for date night, church or any event.

How do you feel about tulle skirts? Do you like them or nah?!

Leather Fringe Jacket for a Steal!!

written by tanika Green

You guys, I have found a deal for you!! This amazing black, fringe, leather jacket is only $30!!! Now, I bought this jacket about a year ago at Nordstrom’s for $100. I was OBSESSED with it and still am. As I was putting together this post and tried to find similar options for you, I was certain it was no longer available. But, to my surprise (drumroll please) I found the same leather fringe jacket and for $30!!! Is that not an AMAZING deal?! Matter of fact, most of the items I am wearing in this post is under $30 with the exception of the handbag and boots. I love steals like this that look like you spent serious coins! The gray jeans are my new favorites and fits me to a “T.” Since the weather is starting to warm up, I wanted to pull out my Stuart Weitzman Over the Knee dupes one more time! I will miss these boots when the weather warms up and calls for open toe sandals, flip flops and wedges.

I also linked up some other super cute leather fringe jacket options if you care to click thru!

The weekend is already coming to a close. I had the best time with my family yesterday enjoying the sunny weather, eating al fresco and taking my daughter to see the ducks at the pond.

Tell me, how did you spend your weekend??

How to Style a Graphic Tee- Detroit Vs. Everybody!

written by tanika Green

detroit vs everybody t-shirt- american eagle boyfriend jeans- american eagle tom girl jeans- zara fringe booties- justfab look for less celine- pink leather moto jacket- laws of layering-dallas fashion blogger- detroit fashion blogger, valentines date night outfit

It’s Thursday! This week has flown by and I am happy about it. I think today’s look is definitely up there as one of my favorites. I absolutely love graphic tees. A graphic tee allows you to be creative and expressive.Unsure of how to style a graphic tee? Keep it simple! You can never have too many if you ask me! You can pretty much wear this look anywhere, even for Valentine’s Day if you like. I bought this hot pink leather moto jacket last year and sadly its no longer available in this particular color. I thought it would be fun to add a pop of color to this look and I really feel its the icing on the cake. You guys know I will throw on my favorite boyfriend jeans and fringe boots with just about anything. I think this outfit came together perfectly. Don’t you?

If you didn’t know, I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. It is a place that is near and dear to my heart. I know the Detroit you may hear about on the news sounds unsettling. And that it is. But, growing up it was my home. And there is no place like it. When I tell people I am from Detroit, they are usually surprised. I suppose we all have our thoughts on our expectations of people and where they’re from. I guess because of what they have heard, they expect someone from Detroit would act or behave a certain way. I’m not really offended. But, you most definitely can’t talk down on my city to me!! lol. I always will represent proudly where I am from!!

This tee speaks volumes about my city, my home. Most times, it does feel like Detroit vs Everybody. The challenges my city faces are definitely difficult. But, the memories I have growing up in “Tha D” always makes me smile. I remember when I was little, playing in the park at Belle Isle across from my grandmother apartment, Easter egg hunts at my church, riding my bike in my neighborhood and getting ice cream at our neighborhood ice cream shop. My high school, Martin Luther King Jr. Sr. is one of the top three high schools in the city. The memories I have of my classmates and teachers are priceless. Cruising downtown with my friends, the summer music festivals at Hart Plaza and eating delicious food in Greektown on a warm summer night. My mom was a community activist and worked hard at rebuilding the neighborhood and serving the community. Everyone knew Mrs. Taylor! She would take me with her to the community meetings and activities. She showed me what its truly is like to give back to your community and to be selfless as well. Looking back, I can appreciate those moments. Her love for the city was truly grand and she loved every second of the work she had done. My mother passed away five years ago. My dad is still there in the home I was raised in. I haven’t visited home since I’ve had my daughter. I’m tearing up a bit writing this post because the memories of home are so vivid and strong. Even though I live in Dallas now, there is truly no place like home. Detroit, I am rooting for you! And I love you.

The weather is finally changing and cooling down a bit in Dallas. It’s the perfect time to start layering and adding stylish fall vests to your closet. I love vests for this reason and there are so many great, affordable options out there to build your fall wardrobe with. I love that these vests are neutral in tone and can work with so many outfit options. You could layer them with a long sleeve sweater or t shirt with jeans or leather leggings, or edge up a knit dress by topping it off with a vest as well. Fall vest’s are my go- to as the weather turns crisp and chilly. I can’t wait to pull out mine to wear for the Pumpkin Patch this weekend!!
