Nordstrom News

Summer is just around the corner, and Nordstrom has created its list of must-have items for the season. (Note: For a limited time you can get free shipping on your orders of $200 or more.)

The Maxi Dress: Long flowing summer dresses don’t scream glamour; they simply whisper the message with every gentle sweeping stride.

Big Colorful Bags: I have long been a proponent of the big summer carry-all bag. It’s the best way to get yourself and all your must-have summer gear from point A to point B.

Sandals with Flair: Sandals that are embellished with beads, stones and other low-key details add a subtle, yet noticeable pop to summer footwear.

That 70s Blouse: Flower power is back, but this season the look is a lot more sophisticated. Billowy blouses in elegant patterns add a touch of the past to one of the season’s hottest looks.

Bangles Away: Whether they’re bold and chunky or slim and sophisticated, a wrist accented by bangles adds just the right amount of glamour to any summer look.

Faded Denim Shorts: They don’t have to actually be your old denim shorts from back in the day; they just have to look that way. Slightly worn-looking or distressed denim shorts were made for lazy days at the beach or simply scuttling around town.

Wonderful Wedges: Not only are they sexy and summery, but you never have to worry about sinking into the grass at an outdoor wedding again.

Aviator Sunglasses: No pilot’s license required.

Cover-Ups: It only makes sense to stock up on swimsuit cover-ups that can take you from the sand to late-night cocktails at the hotel bar.

A Radiant Glow: One of the best ways to achieve a summer glow is to fake it. Powdered bronzers and self-tanners are two of your best friends this season.

Amazon.com: Lights, Camera, Action

Summer travel is a wonderful chance to spend time with family and friends. It’s also the perfect excuse to purchase a whole new summer holiday wardrobe!

Hats: A summer hat is the perfect way to look chic and keep the sun out of your eyes and off your face. You can’t go wrong with a floppy wide-brim straw hat, and for a sportier look, try a visor or even a military cap.  

Sportswear: Sportswear (aka the clothes that you spend your life in) most likely make up the bulk of your wardrobe. (I know I personally own at least 10 pairs of jeans and six or seven hoodies). Sportswear staples like jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, and capris, will get you through vacation as well as the rest of your life in the most comfortable fashion possible. And for a limited time Amazon.com is offering 20%-off sportswear apparel for men and women, from brands like Hurley, Quicksilver, and Roxy (code ACTION20).

Swimwear: Swimwear can be a scary avenue to travel down, but the best way to look hot is to make sure that you pick out the suit that’s right for you. The right suit should accentuate the positive, and well, at least draw attention away from the negative. Luckily, that 20%-off Amazon.com sportswear discount applies to swimwear looks from Rip Curl, Volcom, and others.
