Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shoe Picks

July 14, 2017 Shannon Taatjes

"I have enough clothes and shoes.

I don't need to go shopping."

- SAID NO WOMAN EVER.

Hopefully you caught my last post with my Top Accessory Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and enjoyed it!  

Here's the shoes that I think are the best deals from the brands I love...enjoy and let me know what you get!  My advice, if you see something you like, snag it quick because many of these are sure to sell out during the pre-sale. (I put the calendar of the sale dates and additional info in the Accessory post)


My Top Bootie Picks:

1.  Vince Camuto Split Shaft Bootie - under $100 and pretty detail, more colors available.

2.  Hinge Block Heel Bootie - less than $80 and pinpoint perforation back is a cool detail, more colors available.

3.  Steve Madden Suede Bootie - only $86 and more colors available.  A great way to get this popular look of a wrapped block heel for less.

4.  Vince Camuto Francia Bootie - less than $100 and beautiful wood stacked heel, more colors available.

5.  Vince Camuto Peep-Toe Bootie - less than $100 and this whipstitching Western look is so cute, more colors available.

6.  Paul Green Flat Bootie - you get what you pay for and this brand is Italian-crafted and super comfortable, so great deal on this high-end bootie, more colors available.

7.  Stuart Weitzman Suede Bootie - Once you own a pair of Stuart Weitzman's....you understand what all the hype is about.  When this brand is on sale, you simply pay attention.  More colors available.

My Top Tall Boot Picks:

8.  Sam Edelman Tall Boot - Less than $150 is such a great sale price on this classic boot that will go with everything, more colors available.

9.  Hunter Boot - These are a thinner, more flexible version of the classic and I absolutely love my Hunter's...it's the way to stay stylin' in the nasty weather, two beautiful colors available.

10.  Steve Madden Over-the-Knee Boot - At less than $90, these are a steal, they are a stretchy comfortable boot with a stacked heel that is right on trend, more colors available.

11.  Stuart Weitzman Over-the-Knee Boot - These are just simply gorgeous.  Stuart's are in the slurge-worthy category in my book and this heel height keeps them classy and timeless.  More colors available.

My Top Shoe Picks:

12.  Dolce Vita Suede Studded Heel - Less than $100 and these smooth studs add a little fun to this neutral minimalist heel, more colors available.

13.  Steve Madden Strappy Sandal - Less than $75, this blush nude color is gorgeous, more colors available.

14.  Vince Suede Loafer - These are simple, classic and scream high end luxury.  Vince is my all-time favorite brand.  I got these in this amazing blush pink suede that I'm kinda obsessed with.  More colors available.

15.  Charles David Nude Pump - A nude pump is my go-to shoe.  Period.  I think everyone needs one in their closet.  At less than $65, these are a great deal on a timeless classic that goes with everything, more colors available.

16.  Sorel Waterproof Wedge - If you're going to be in the rain and snow, you may as well look cute.  One of my best friends lives in rainy Portland and has these...they are super cute and functional.  Being in California, I just don't have a need for too many waterproof boots...I have my trusty Hunter Boots for my winter trips to NYC;)

Outfit of the Day - "Spring Casual"

April 21, 2017 Shannon Taatjes

I always say that I can live in a jeans and t-shirt look, but I love to add a couple key pieces to spice up this basic look depending on the occasion.

This post is meant to inspire you to create your own fun jeans and t-shirt look.  I always find it fun to try and find looks I love and recreate them for less!  Give it a try!  I want to see your looks!  Post your outfit on Instagram and tag me and use the hashtag #HWSOOTD so I can see YOUR "outfit of the day".

My favorite way to make my boring jeans and t-shirt look more special and unique is to add a beautiful shoe.  The right shoe can completely change an entire outfit.  My favorite trick is a nude pump or nude heeled sandal that really elongates the leg.  Yes, I'm a fan of heels and wear them often, but you can also find a special flat shoe that adds something special like a pop of color or metallic look.  

Take the time to add a couple of extra accessories that complete the look.  It helps pull the look together and  makes you look like you made more of an effort, even if it's just thrown together for a last minute invite to brunch with the girls.  A hat is a great way to look great fast.  This is my "go-to" when I don't have time to make my hair look decent and it works every time.  A special piece of jewelry or a scarf can work too.  

If I'm wearing a nude colored shoe, I try to add a pop of color somewhere else like with a scarf or handbag, depending on the occasion.

This outfit above is really easy to put together.  Most days you'll find me in some version of this.  Make up is usually a quickie of Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, mascara and lip gloss.  I use all Beautycounter skincare and makeup these days becasue....safer ingredients, better beauty;)

The goal is to get a few of the right pieces in place so you don't have to spend forever getting ready....but you always look pulled together!

Shop the photo:

  • Cropped jeans
  • Striped lightweight sweater
  • Fedora hat (I wear this more than anything in my closet so it's worth every penny.  It's the exact hat in all of my profile pics. color: natural/black)
  • Red low-heeled suede sandal (this "pop of color" is the star of the show in the outfit above)
  • Gold watch
  • Aviator sunglasses
  • Beautycounter Lip Sheer + Lip Shine (great used separately or layered!)
  • Beautycounter Lengthening Mascara (winner of Allure Best of Beauty Award 2016!)

I like to choose some high-end, classic, timeless pieces that last a long time but you can definitely find this look for less.  Target, Amazon and searching styles online are great ways to find looks for less.

A couple of my favorite nude + color pop ankle strap sandals:

high spike heel and  block heel (more colors available).  The spike high heel pictured below is an example of how I found the look of the highly coveted Stuart Weitzman "Nudist" sandals that look just like this for a lot less!
