I’ve said it a million times but I seriously adore Nordstrom. If you follow any of my fashion posts on the blog or on my instagram, you’ve probably noticed that most of the purchases I make are from Nordstrom. They have the best options, all kinds of different price points and their customer service is the BEST customer service I’ve ever dealt with. They will always help no matter the situation and you talk to a real person in seconds. After dealing with health, mortgage, and home insurance the past few days and being on the phone for HOURS, I truly appreciate talking to an actual person in seconds. It’s seriously so rare to get that kind of customer service nowadays.
Anywho, let’s talk about clothes. Because that’s what Fridays are all about around here! The more I shop with Nordstrom, the more I start to find the brands that I love and keep going back to. The two brands I’m seriously loving right now, especially with their summer apparel, is Madewell and Topshop. Whenever I walk into Nordstrom, I walk straight to those two areas and always find outfits that fit and give me inspiration in my own wardrobe.
And my go-to right now is definitely skirts. I can easily find jeans that fit me in the winter time, but when it comes to jean shorts, that’s where I have a tough time. They are either too short or too loose or too clingy. But skirts…skirts always fit. And I love high waisted skirts that cinch in the waist with an A-line out. It’s so flattering and perfect for a backyard BBQ or summer patio happy hour! This Topshop scallop miniskirt fits like a dream and made me feel so comfortable and feminine. If you’re on the lookout for skirts that make you feel your best this summer, I’ve linked a ton below to help inspire you with your own look! Just click to the photo to be brought to the skirt of your dreams!
Ruffles, laser cutouts, and embroidered tops seem to be all the rage this season. And I have no shame in embracing some of those trends. This Madewell ruffle tank has tiny eyelet cutouts that give the top beautiful accents without being see through. I wore a normal bra with this top and you couldn’t see it at all! Below I’m linking all my favorite Madewell and Topshop tops that scream summer!
What I love about this look is nothing is overly tight or clingy. The top is loose fitting and would look so cute with a pair of jeans. And the skirt is the same way. It still fits great around the waist but there is still enough room to actually sit down and still be able to breathe! In case you’re trying to figure out your size, I bought the ruffle tank in a small and the scallop miniskirt in a US4!
Now for the shoes. I actually built my entire outfit around these shoes. I walked into the store and luckily found these in my size instantly and knew I needed them for summer. I’m loving all the prints that brands are coming out with lately and these Sam Edelman embroidered pumps have so many colors in them to help make a statement with any outfit you wear!
Whether you’re into flats, mules, heels, espadrilles, or just plan flip flops, I have a TON of summer shoe ideas for you that I think you’re going to love if you’re into a pop of color! I’ve been wearing Sam Edelman shoes for a while now and every shoe I’ve purchased has been comfortable and has held up great!
If you have trouble finding shorts that fit this summer like I do, don’t even waste your time with any frustration or upset. Just find a skirt that makes you feel like a million bucks or a pair of shoes that demands your feet to wear them at all times. It’s time to feel your best this summer with textures, pattens and all kinds of colors! Let’s do this, summer!

You look beautiful. I need to work on my ghostly complexion if i want to pull this off.

Cute outfit! Just wanted to say I love your instagram stories and was wondering if you could provide slightly more guidance on how you make the paleo fried rice. I know that you make the sauce out of coconut aminos, sriacha, and sesame oil (I think) and then you cook it down. Would you possibly be willing to do a post (or just respond) with the quantities. I’m not a person who is great without a recipe and this always looks so yummy whenever you make it on instagram! I would also love a post on how you are making your thinly sliced kale on instagram. I love all of your great content — thank you!
i’ll add chicken fried rice and my kale recipe both to the list of upcoming recipes on the blog!!
This is one of my favorite outfits you’ve posted! And those shoessssss!!!! <3 You look awesome!
Super cute outfit Juli!
Any secrets to keeping blouses tucked in skirts. I feel like I’m constantly adjusting and re-tucking. BUT BEAUTIFUL, I’m pretty sure I’ve bought half the clothes you blog / post.
no secret, just re-tucking lol
