Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: What to Buy and What to Skip

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: What to Buy and What to Skip

Every year I love the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, because it lets me stock up on basics and buy some Christmas gifts at a big discount. Why is it such a big deal? Where most sales are at the end of a season, the NSale highlights items for the upcoming season. The price is discounted during the sale window and then jumps up to regular price afterwards. What's popular during the sale?

3 Boots New Englanders Love

If there's one thing New Englanders have down, it's cold-weather gear. Sure, our blood thickens up a bit in the colder months, so you might see us outside in just a fleece when it's late March, but at the start of the season you can be sure we're prepared for those cold days! There are three pairs of casual winter boots that have stood the test of time in my closet. If you're new to the Boston area, or you're just visiting and want to know what you should pack, here's what you'll see a lot of …
