early access : round one

I (and every other blogger on Instagram) enjoy referring to Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale as "Christmas in July." 

(John enjoys referring to it as THINGS I CAN'T REPEAT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN. He's adorable like that.) 

Shopping the sale isn't hard y'all. Figuring out which one of your kids still gets to attend college is the hard part.

friday faves : mdw sales

It's that time of year again, guys. The time of year where ALL the MDW Sales try to come along and steal my cash money away from Nordstrom's upcoming Anniversary Sale. Mama ain't falling for that, y'all.

J/K, mama is TOTALLY FALLING FOR IT. That's what credit cards are for, right?

Disclaimer : Yes, I DO realize that credit cards are bad, and financially irresponsible, and JOHN STOP LAUGHING IT'S RUDE.

mama's day

I have to start this post with a disclaimer. I know Mother's Day is hard for some of y'all. And for you, I wish I could reach through this computer and give you your OWN DANG mother's day gift. You deserve it. Because you've had to do the hardest work of all. You've had to deal with grief. Or loss. Or maybe you've had to learn to be a mother, when you never had a great example from which to learn. And you are badasses. All of you.

(With COFFEE obviously, because it's 9am and this isn't that kind of blog, y'all. Unless it's 5 o'clock somewhere.)

It's that time again, friends. The time where we say BLESS OUR HEARTS and WE CAN (possibly) DO THIS.  

It's spring break, y'all.  

Spring break USED TO mean that I would throw my cutest bathing suits into an overstuffed duffel bag, pile into someone's mom's minivan, and drive 12 hours straight to Miami. Because COLLEGE.

Guys, I feel that it is my DUTY and responsibility to inform you that it's TRIPLE POINTS time at Nordstrom.

must-have jacket for spring

This style tip is coming straight to you from the runways of....my mind. Which may not be as fancy as a fashion week runway, but STILL. Take one look at these metallic jackets and tell me you don't want one too. 

(Unless you don't enjoy being all HEY LOOK AT ME, I'M WEARING A SILVER JACKET. Then you actually may not want one. I still love you though.)

spring staples : splurge vs steal

Guys! It's Sherri's Famous (not really) Splurge vs. Steal edition!
And YOU get a steal, and YOU get a steal, and YOU get a steal!

(Don't mind me, just over here pretending to be Oprah, again.)

In honor of the fact that it's basically the dead of summer now, I'm gonna share a few of  my warm weather favorites today. First I'll show you a splurge-y option that will definitely cause your significant other to question your spending habits. Next, I'll show you my "steal" option, which essentially qualifies as INVESTING your money and making financially responsible decisions.
