Holiday sale season is upon us, and Nordstrom is one of my top destinations to shop during Cyber Week. This year I’ll be stocking up on Nordstrom Made gifts for the holidays and more!
I’m still really loving the Nordstrom Made blanket that I scored last year, and you can never have too many throw blankets so of course I have some of those at the top of my list to get to both gift, and for myself.
In addition to blankets, Nordstrom has tons of great Nordstrom Made gifts, no matter who you’re shopping for.
Here’s what I found and am adding to my shopping list for under $100, including the exact pajamas I’m wearing–

From home staples, to stocking stuffers, Nordstrom Made gifts are a must to include in your Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. They’re also perfect to create your own gift sets, if you get jewelry, you can also gift a jewelry box. Pajamas? Gift with matching slippers.

While my favorite kind of football will always be soccer, seeing as how I did play in both high school and college, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love my New England Patriots something fierce. There’s hardly anything football related that I love more than showing my support for them in style with cute football game outfit ideas, even if I do tend to stay at home on game day.
If you’ve ever found yourself trying to figure out what to wear to a football game, this blog post is definitely for you!
Regardless of whether you’ll be in a stadium or on a couch, or watching college or NFL, here are three cute outfits to wear to a football game—
And here are eight picks to wear this season—
I already own a some of these items, and all the others are on my Christmas list!
Please don’t think that you need to run out and buy team apparel just to look good at a game. If there’s anything in your closet that already own in your team’s colors that will work just perfectly as well. I know for other sports, I’ve also been known to rock and all black look.
The weather in New England can be pretty unpredictable, especially in the fall. The key to being prepared for the changing of seasons is lightweight fall staple pieces that you can layer differently throughout the day.
The number one lightweight fall piece that I love for transitional dressing is a fleece. Dick’s Sporting Goods has so many great options in this category, including my personal favorite, which is The North Face Denali Fleece.
Not only do fleeces make the perfect jacket for this time of year, they look great with everything from a tank top to a turtleneck. And if you have a thin enough jacket or vest, you can layer one under your fleece as well.

In addition to lightweight layering pieces, another way that I like to adjust to the dropping temperatures is to switch up my footwear.
Plus with the holidays just around the corner, it’s worth noting that these cold weather accessories also make great gifts! Dick’s Sporting Goods has blankets, tumblers, and whatever else you might need for your next adventure.
I’m feeling very into the Halloween spirit this year! I wanted a seriously stylish Halloween costume, but wasn’t willing to invest a ton of money in any Halloween costumes. So, I shopped my closet for pieces I could use to play dress up.
It can be almost too easy to get carried away come spooky season. Believe me I know, in college I won a gift card in a Halloween costume contest, but the gift card amount was less than what I had paid for my costume.
Besides, I spend too much on clothes throughout the year to not be able to put together a fashion forward costume…or four!

This costume idea sparked the whole #tsphalloweek! I was pitched by a brand to do a Halloween blog post in exchange for the costume, it wasn’t that I didn’t like their costumes, but it was a lingerie brand and the partnership didn’t align with my vision. But I had found one particular costume that I really liked the concept of, Medusa. I mostly wanted the headpiece, so I googled it, found one and bought it myself. Then I found an affordable dress I loved, and knew I could wear again. So I did end up spending some money, but not a lot!
Spring in New England is always an interesting time fashion wise. One day will feel like summer and the next will have you question whether or not you should have waited a little bit longer to put all your coats in storage. I personally am a fan of pieces that you can easily style, no matter how the weather decides to act. Ones that you can look just as chic in under a layer (or two), or solo. Luckily, Nordstrom has a ton of amazing options for under $100!
I’ve mentioned one of my favorite brands is actually Nordstrom Made brand, Treasure & Bond. Their graphic tees are a must buy for me, but they also have so much for than that!
I found some of the cutest spring essentials, including this white sweater dress. It’s lightweight enough to wear alone on warmer days, yet can be styled under a shirt, sweater, or jacket if there’s a chill in the air. The other aspect I like about this dress is that it can also easily be dressed up or down, making it the perfect addition for a potential spring capsule wardrobe.
In addition to the dress, I found this utility jumpsuit. I’ve been obsessing over this style and finding a light-weight one for under $100 seemed almost too good to be true! I love how great it goes with a pair of classic white sneakers.
Just when it was starting to feel like maybe spring was finally on it’s way back, winter said, lol jk!
Since I’m in New England, I’m used to the snow, and honestly I don’t hate having an excuse to keep wearing (or buying) winter style clothes.
Typically, I go for knit sweaters and jeans. But since, like so many of us, my work from home mindset has started to shift to be a little more casual than usual, I’ve started incorporating even more athleisure winter style pieces into my wardrobe.
Athleisure wear doesn’t have to be workout clothes, but at the same time, also can be. The main thing is to be comfortable, while still feeling chic.
And because of all the snow everyone seems to be getting, boots are a must! I’m really loving the lug boot style right now. This particular style also comes in black leather and cognac suede. Of course, after getting mine, I have the other two colors on my wish list, and possibly getting the next time I have Nordstrom Notes, which you earn points towards when you shop, and can use to spend with Nordstrom later, when you sign up for The Nordy Club.
How are you staying warm in all the snow we’re getting this season?
One of the easiest ways to stay on top of what’s in, is to shop new arrivals. That’s exactly what I did to score this entire outfit. Feminine detailed sweaters and wide leg jeans are two trends I can get behind, mostly because they’ll never really go out of style.
What makes these jeans stand out to me is the distressed details, which are not unheard of, but not nearly as common to find with wide leg jeans as they are with skinny or mom style jeans.
All of this pairs all too perfectly with a dainty, but stylish, necklace. I found a few that I love and plan to keep in my rotation. You can always layer a few to add a little more edge to your look.
You may have noticed that these jeans are long! I kind of like them this way, but what I really like is that if I want, I can get them altered for free as one of the many perks of The Nordy Club.
What do you think, should I leave them or get them hemmed?
I’ve never been all that big on New Year’s resolutions, and this year I’ve been even more hesitant to set one. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have goals, and some pretty lofty ones! Since I’ll be continuing to stay home at this time, I figured I would make the most of it as much as I could, by trying to refine my makeup, skincare, and hair care routines. For makeup and skincare, my goal is to get better at applying the products I already know that I love to create Instagram-worthybeauty looks. And also pin down routines that work, so that I can be more consistent with them.
Now, with hair care it’s a bit different. If you’re at all familiar with my hair journey, then you know that it is all over the place. But you also know that I’m not good at doing hair, my sisters usually are the ones to do mine for me, and when I find something I can do, I do it on repeat (hello, slick ponytail, that involves A LOT of gel)!
Having used the flat iron a few times now, I 100% get why so many bloggers and influencers rave about it. It’s that good! I really want to try one of their curling irons next! I’m still getting better at doing my own hair, especially since going natural, and have a ways to go. But being able to straighten it with ease means I can try more styles, which is the goal.
What are your 2021 beauty goals?
No matter what you hope to achieve this year, Nordstrom has all your beauty needs to help you accomplish it. And with The Nordy Club, you get some pretty great perks, like earning points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, that you can use on future purchases. I’ve used a few already! Not sure where to begin? Here are my current top Nordstrom beauty picks:
Ugg boots are iconic. And this holiday season you can catch me inside, in head to toe Ugg. That’s right, UGG has so much more than the boots we all know and love them for!
In addition to their boots, I love their slippers, but did you know that they also have loungewear and the coziest sweaters? It’s the leggings for me. This pair is double knit, so they really keep you warm when you have to step outside.
These two looks are perfect for staying in, and most likely what you’d find me in, on my couch or on a quick coffee run. I styled the UGG Fuzzy Logo Sweatshirt here with jeans, but they would go just as great with leggings, lounge pants, or joggers. And UGG has you covered for outerwear as well, with jackets and coats that you can bundle up in.
Staying in all day? I love my Phoebe Wrap Cardigan, which can also be worn as a robe over one of the UGG pajama sets. The best part? UGG is available right at Nordstrom, so if you’re signed up for The Nordy Club, you can take advantage of all your free perks, and earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to buy even more UGG goodies later!
When it comes to gifts, Nordstrom has way more than just clothes and beauty. I find myself turning to Nordstrom for most of my purchases throughout the year. And the holiday season is no different. Regardless of who you’re shopping for, chances are you can find them something that they’ll treasure at Nordstrom.
Stumped on what to get? Here are some gift ideas, and they all happen to be under $100!
Candles are one of my absolute favorite gifts to give. The best are the ones that you can smell without even having to light, and the fact that you can reuse the vessel afterwards is a bonus gift! Still feel like you need a little something extra? Bundle it with a wick trimmer and candle snuffer.
We got this Bose speaker for Christmas a few years ago and it’s still the one that we use the most. It’s small, so you can toss it into your bag when you’re on the go, but loud enough to make any room feel like a dance floor.
I’m fairly new to the Apple Watch club, but the basic watch band that it comes with just isn’t it for me. I really loved this fun colorful option, but if it’s not what you’re looking for, Nordstrom has options!
I swear by the Slip Silk Sleep Mask, and recommend it for everyone. Last year I lost mine after a flight, and immediately went and bought another one. Yes, it’s that good.
Even if you’re not sure what to gift someone, you really can’t go wrong with a skin care set. Especially during these times, everyone can use a little extra calm and self care.
Purses are something I prefer to gift myself, but when it comes to the gym or travel, I realized that I don’t usually think to buy a quality duffle bag. And I know I can’t be the only one.
Much like the Slip Sleep Mask, their silk face mask is amazing, so much so that I bought three different ones. I’m sure we all have our share of reusable face masks, but how about a face mask chain to elevate our new everyday essential?
In New England the temperature is dropping and snow is on the horizon. A scarf is such a classic gift to give, one that anyone can use to wear throughout the winter.
Something about vinyl just makes me so happy, the sound, the nostalgia, I don’t know. But it’s great to have, and you can also gift it with a record or two.
No matter how long your list is, if you haven’t already, you really should sign up for The Nordy Club! Not only is it free to join, you earn points towards Nordstrom Notes when you shop, which you can use to spend with Nordstrom later. And don’t forget they also have free shipping and returns, as well as curbside pickup. Plus, for Cyber Monday get up to 50% off and an extra 25% off clearance!
