Color Love Royal Blue + Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview

July 8, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

I am always on the hunt for solid blue pieces because it is half of a perfect Gator game day outfit.  All kidding aside I have been loving all things royal blue right now.  It instantly makes you look tan and styles beautifully with gold accents.  Plus it color blocks perfectly.  I added this Amanda Uprichard piece to my growing royal blue collection and wore it to my birthday dinner.  Also, make sure to see my complete guide to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Anyone interested in a little hair tutorial?  This has been my go to hairstyle to beat the heat this Summer. Please ignore the slight windblown by the water take on it.

Here is my roundup of royal blue finds!  This Amanda Uprichard dress is on major sale right now! Obsessed with this Madwell one.



Are you guys getting excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale?  Cardholders get full access starting on the 9th (tomorrow) through the 16th and then it goes open to the public on the 17th.  I always stock up on my high end staples during this sale.  Make sure you check back tomorrow for my complete detailed list of things that should be on your radar.  The good things sell out quickly!  Plus it’s double points for cardholders. Yes please!

These Rag & Bone skinnies will be in the cart.  Can we even talk about this Rebecca Minkoff moto bag for the sale it’s in a gorgeous deep burgundy color and my mini mac is on sale.  Seriously the grey color goes with everything.  Also my Toms desert booties will be on sale, they have lasted 3 seasons already and still look fantastic.

Make sure you check back tomorrow.  I will have the complete guide for you so you don’t have to waste time searching, I will have all the best picks and buys for you!  xoxoxo

    Obsessed with royal blue! It’s literally one of my favorite colors. And you look absolutely amazing in it! I’m not a Nordstrom card holder… I know, I know, but there are definitely a few things on my radar that I hope are still in stock by the 17th! Can’t wait to see what you pick up!

    I feel like royal blue is such a power color for blondes! It’s one of my favorites too! Minus the Gator side of course ;)

    Royal blue is one of my favorite colors. I have blue eyes so it really makes them POP!
    I’m personally not doing too much shopping this year, but I love the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. There’s always sooooo many awesome deals. I may have to take a small budget just to peruse through the sales racks. I may be able to justify a purchase if it’s running gear?

    That blue color on you is just gorgeous! I have one dress that has royal blue on it and I love it. I just tend to keep it for summer and don’t let it see the light of day during football season hehe :) I keep forgetting about the Nordstrom sale. That never fairs well for my wallet, you know? I love both of those bags you chose and those Toms are great too! I guess I will spend the rest of the day stalking that sale. This is all your fault, you know!

    That dress is so perfect for you! I love royal blue and definitely don’t have enough of it in my wardrobe. A dress like this would be great for Florida summers.

    You look beautiful in these pictures!! Love your dress and those shoes. The color looks good on blondes too. ;-) Have you ever worn Rag & Bone jeans? Because I tried a pair of their skinny jeans on at Nordstrom and they were horrible on me. The pockets were huge and they just didn’t fit at all. :-/ Looking forward to seeing that hair tutorial too!! :-)

    Love this color! I have a skirt in this exact shade that I wear at least once a week in the summer. I have been envious of those booties so they may need to be added to my collection!
