I’m not sure what rock I lived under, but I never actually shopped at Nordstrom until this past summer when I discovered their semi annual sale. I’m a big fan of getting more for less and prefer not to spend too much on any given item. I was trying to determine my max amount for any given item, and think $20-25 on a top or jeans and if something is really special, maybe $50? I bought the coat above this August during the sale at Nordstrom and adore it, it has a fleece lining and is soft and fun enough that is dresses up some pretty boring looks (which I have plenty of, trust me.) In honor of the big sale coming up and my love for all things free I wanted to share a giveaway that my good friend Carly put together. A bunch of us pooled our money and the result is a $525 gift card to Nordstrom! 

Isn’t this open front, tribal cardigan amazing? Equally cute over sweatpants at home or skinny jeans and boots.

Since winter is insisting on coming, why not wear boots with a hint of neon? 

This fur vest completely reminds me of Rachel Zoe!

I’m loving mixing really summery, floral prints with more wintry fabrics right now and these leggings would look great with a long, chunky sweater.

A bedazzled, embellished beanie. Stop it.

I realize this jacket is a splurge, but chubby, chunky jackets are so popular right now, and I love the light pink color on this one!

And last, if I were to win a  large gift card to Nordstrom I would splurge on something pretty special. Perhaps a brightly colored, Kate Spade Beau bag or hot pink designer sunglasses? 

Are you ready to shop yet? Details are below on how you can win a seriously HUGE gift card to Nordstrom. Good luck!
