$225 Nordstrom Giveaway•Life Lately

Life Lately + Huge Nordstrom Giveaway!!!

January 5, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.
Today feels like a new fresh start.  Last week was still a cookie laden haze and all day Friday at work it felt like Monday.  This weekend I got a lot of work done.  The majority of boxes are put away, my new class at the college starts today after I built the course over the weekend and lots of great new moves in Barre start this week.  Also my Wedding is next month.  I mean how crazy is that???  It felt so real as I was standing up on that platform getting my dress hemmed and the french bustle measured on Saturday.
Let’s catch up with life lately and then we can chat about a fabulous new giveaway. 
Said goodbye to my princess pad for the past 4 1/2 years.  Not going to lie it was a little emotional.  Lots of great memories there.
As I drove over the bridge I was greeted with this gorgeous sunset.  It was a good sign I believe.  
Trying to find a new spot for my full length.  Please ignore all the shoe boxes they are trying to find new homes.  Obsessed with this rose gold hardware RM.
Not sticking to my Wedding diet.
Dreaming of this view again.
Missing these little ones
Lusting over.  I mean I have no place to wear a pink fur bolero but around my house while vacuuming (now that I’m back to carpet floors the horror lol…..) could totally work right?  Gorgeous heels here.
Catching up on all kinds of work
Now let’s talk about this giveaway.  Damage could be done with $225 to Nordstrom!  Definitely in some great company!  Hint my two entries are follow me on Bloglovin and Instagram.

    HOOOORAY for the move out, that’s so exciting. I know you’ll find an amazing mirror place, it will just take a bit. [love that top btw].

    That bolero is divine…wish we both had reasons to wear it :)! Happy first Monday of 2015!!!!

  4. Jenn says

    January 5, 2015 at 11:38 AM

    So glad the move out has gone well and the settling in isn’t going badly (that full length will find a home!) Still so so bummed about missing you in NYC the other weekend (was that only a week ago??) We will have to rectify that at some point! :)
    Have a great Monday girl!!

    That sunset was definitely a sign of good things to come! That gold RM bag is AMAZING! And so is that fur bolero. Darn FL and it’s 80 degree winters.. wait…. just kidding. I kinda love that! Happy Monday love!

    Oh girl so much going on for you right now! I hate moving and having to find a new “routine” for things (says the girl who has moved more times in the last 4.5 years than I care to count). And yes, that sunset was definitely a sign!! <3

    January 5, 2015 at 12:57 PM

    It’s always hard to say goodbye to somewhere you have been for awhile, but for an exciting reason why :) :)

    I hear you on the cookie haze, I was horrible this weekend knowing good and well that I was going to work really hard starting today!! I hope you have a fabulous week!

    your wedding is next month?!?! ahh so exciting!! i am loving that rebecca minkoff crossbody bag! xo jillian – cornflake dreams

  12. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says

    January 5, 2015 at 1:39 PM

    French bustle FTW! That’s the style I went with too :) Also, winter wedding twinsie, I got a rabbit fur to wear… For the 20 mins of outdoor photos we had. I mean, you only get married once, so if you think you need that fur then I say go for it! I haven’t worn mine since. But when I get around to preserving my dress, that little furry beauty will go with it! Memories and pics, right?! Right.

  13. Tracy says

    January 5, 2015 at 1:44 PM

    Change is always hard, but you have so many great things coming up! The sunset was definitely a sign of good things to come :)

    When we moved from our apartment to our house this summer, I was wayyy more emotional than I anticpated! I lived in that pad for a year before Jason moved in, and then we got married, he started law school, we adopted pups…just so many memories in that place. But now we are creating new ones in our house so that’s nice too!

  30. Brianne says

    January 5, 2015 at 4:02 PM

    Moving out of a place, especially when it was your own & you lived there so long, is always a little hard/weird. When I moved into a new place this summer I remember just sitting in the floor of my old living room after everything was packed up & looking around.

  31. Emily says

    January 5, 2015 at 4:27 PM

    Love your outfit and congrats on the move!! Hopefully you’ll be all settled soon!

    Congratulations on moving into your new home, and so exciting about your big day only being a month away!!! :-) I’m glad that you had a nice weekend. Your nieces are adorable and that sunset is stunning. Shall I send you a sunset picture complete with the snow here? Haha. Hope that you’re having a good day so far, and Happy New Year to you!!!

    I seriously wish I could take your barre classes! It would be so fun and I miss barre so much.
    Next month, that is so crazy! Time has just flown by, but that’s what usually happens when you’re the bride!

  35. Caitlin Elizabeth says

    January 5, 2015 at 5:37 PM

    Congrats on finalizing your move and on the approaching wedding -you have so many big changes in 2015 :) Love those shoes!

    Love the sunset – we saw a rainbow when driving from Chicago to Michigan during our move and it seriously made me feel like everything was going to be okay! A bit dramatic but I needed it with all the tears that were happening, ha! And $225 to Nordstrom? Yes please!! Happy Monday!

  39. Pink and Fabulous says

    January 5, 2015 at 6:47 PM

    Congrats on the move! That makes starting 2015 even more fresh and exciting! Can we discuss how necessary a pink faux fur bolero is? I’m not sure why it is, but it definitely is! That is an awesome giveaway!!!! Happy Monday lovely!

  52. Elise @ High Heels and Glittering Eyes says

    January 6, 2015 at 12:59 AM

    Like I said with the sparkly jacket from Forever 21 that you ordered: you find a place to wear it. That pink bolero needs to be in your closet!

  53. Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says

    January 6, 2015 at 1:37 AM

    The floors on the princess pad would be missed, they are gorgeous. You are getting so close, how exciting!
