Cheers to the Weekend!
Today is National Doughnut Day, so get out there and treat-yo-self!
wishing I was in Chicago right now where the insanely delicious options are unlimited!
Remember when I made these beauties? I need to make some more homemade doughnuts ASAP!
I wanted to share a few items from the Nordstrom Sale that I ordered!
This romper is my absolute favorite, and it is 55% off! Still in a few sizes but going fast so hopefully still in stock (update: they keep restocking more sizes!) I love the cross front neck and the cross-open-back!
// BCBG ROMPER //
sizing: runs slightly large, this is a Small and I re-ordered in an XS for a better fit
This high low dress comes in 6 colors and is 40% off! It could easily be dressed up with accessories and heels, or worn with sandals for daytime; I love how a high/low hem can really take it from day to night. It is super comfortable and seems so versatile that I may snag another color other than the pinky-red that I got! I love the bright blue for summer, but navy or black would be great basics.
worn with my Tortoise Shell Necklace which is also 25% off right now!
// HIGH LOW DRESS // in four colors at that link
and THREE MORE COLORS (like that bright blue!) HERE
sizing : runs large order one size down, I am in XS
I wasn’t sure how this dress would look in person but it is super lightweight so it will be great for a dress in the hot months. I also like that it isn’t see through at all despite being so thin, so it can be worn as a dress and not just a cover up. It’s on sale for $38! And I love the low back.
// BLUE PRINTED DRESS //
sizing: runs true to size or slightly small in chest, I am in XS
Two things that are not currently part of the sale but that I tried and loved:
I eyed this romper all last summer so when I saw that it was back in stock and under $100 I knew I had to snag it. The fit is perfect. So many times rompers are way too snug on my ribcage and then a size up is way too loose and this fits perfectly true to size. The double back straps are so cute, and adjustable to make for an even better fit.
// STRIPED ROMPER //
sizing: runs true to size, I am in size S
As you know, I have had a bit of a one piece obsession lately. This print, with the cut outs in the front, and the sexy low back, looked right up my alley and I absolutely love it. It has lined cups too so it gives a nice subtle shaping in the chest which I always appreciate, and no gaping when you move around in it!
// PRINTED ONE PIECE //
sizing: runs true to size, I am in size S

Looks just like my blue + white off the shoulder from zara, and is almost 50% off.
By now I’m sure you all know that there aren’t enough tortoise sunglasses in the world for me. I am loving some of Warby Parker’s styles (have any of you tried them? thoughts?) and love that they donate a pair to someone in need with every pair sold. My top 3 tortoise pairs are the Laurel17 , the Reilly and the Clementine.
Speaking of sunglasses, a sweet reader Nancy sent me this splurge versus steal!

I had read horrible reviews on those blackhead black face masks, so didn’t order it. This in depth reviews seems to suggest the same. Any you try it, or know of a good mask for blackheads?

I’m off to my morning workout class at Blast, and I will be thinking is this:
soooooo then I’ll be hitting up a drive thru on the way home!
Thanks for the shoutout! Friends, the $12 Nordstrom sunnies do NOT disappoint. Snag them up!
Also – the Beautycounter charcoal mask is the bomb for clearing out pores. It is not one of those scary peel off type masks. It just dries and sucks out the yuck (and helps minimize pores), and then you rinse it off, and then moisturize. If you want to try some, I’d be glad to send you a sample!
So glad you like it! Sure if you have an extra sample I’d love to try it. I just really need something for blackheads (which I know is a facial but for some reason I’m too lazy to ever do that :D) Feel free to shoot me an email taylor.oshay@gmail.com Thanks Nancy!
Hows the booty coverage on that printed one piece?
It’s definitely not full coverage but compared to so many of the other ones I’ve tried its tons better. I would say it’s right in the middle. Shows more than a regular bikini bottom but I feel like it’s right at the line (as long as you are okay showing a bit more than a regular bikini!) Wish I was brave enough to show a pic but heellllll no 🙂 The website pic shows the back accurately I feel! Hope that helps!
Those rompers look so cute on you!!
As far as summer reads go, I saw The Husband’s Secret is listed first on that link. Definitely a good one, but by farrrrr Liane Moriarty’s BEST is What Alice Forgot! 🙂
