The Haps

Linking up with Erika, Narci & Andrea for...

Happy Friday!

So I unintentionally took a week off the blog.

The summer tends to be slower in the blog world, so I figure it didn't matter too much.

But I am back today with some favorites from this week, as well as some of my first picks from the sale everyone is talking about.

I despise shopping, but I do enjoy the #NSALE :)

We swung by the house to move a few things and needed a little more strength for one of the big items.

So while the dads got that done, I snapped a few photos of these silly boys :)

I've said it before, but I will say it again.

These two are complete opposites!

But I think that is why they are some of each other's favorite people!

My dad and step mom went camping over the weekend at one of my favorite campgrounds near Lake Erie.

I got my work done early on Monday morning,

and then X and I headed north for some much needed pool time!

This kid decided to just start swimming without a floaty and holding his breath under water!

On Tuesday I headed to Columbus for a doctor appointment.
Since I had some time to kill and it was lunch time,
I swung through my favorite spot :)

I briefly mentioned my health issues on here before and my instastories the other day.

I will get a post together some time next week for you all.

Speaking of instastories.....My new favorite thing is the ask me a question option!!!!

Other favorites on instagram this week...

Now let's dive into my our favorite sale of the year!

#NSALE

As a cardholder I always try to take advantage of the first day of shopping because the good deals go super fast!

I was kind of pumped at how easily I was able to add items to my cart and move through the site.

But then this happened...

I couldn't even find the items in my cart!
I was ready to cry!!!!
Thankfully after about an hour the site started working again and I was able to place my first order.
Yes, I said first.
I know I will be going back in for more, but this round was just for those items I couldn't let slip away ;)
Now fingers crossed everything goes through with my order....I did have to call customer service because after all that time my order actually went through twice :/
At the time of typing this I still haven't received a order confirmation, but the rep on the phone stated my order was in process.

So here is what I ordered yesterday....

I LOVE my faux leather leggings (on sale for $64.90!!!) from Spanx, so it is no surprise that I snatched these camo ones up the moment I saw them!
They come in plus size too!

Mel from Ellabrooks shared this sweater and I knew I had to at least try it!

It comes in this ivory and a coral shade.

Plus size is available too!

I have been wanting some booties with studs on them since last year, but all the ones I have found don't fit right or aren't comfortable.
Fingers crossed these ones from Sole Society work out!
Jen and Brittany both shared them in the Porcini shade, but I really like them in the black.
They come in a darker shade of brown as well.

I few bloggers shared this camo thermal top (available in 3 other colors) and I knew I had to make it mine :)
#givemeallthecamo


UPDATE!!!
This camo thermal is already sold out :(
I had a notice in my email this morning that they are unable to fulfill my order :(
Fingers crossed they restock soon!

I wanted a similar pair of booties last year, but they sold out before I had a chance to snag them.
I added these to my cart before I even saw them on some blogs.
I think this shade will go with so many things, but they are also available in 3 other shades.

I think I need to add a new hashtag #givemeallthestuds
LOVE these!
Since I ordered the black booties above, I decided to go for the gray suede option on these.
They are available in 3 other shades as well.

And then I threw a much needed staple into my cart :)

So did you place an order on the first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale?
If so, what did you get?
I will be looking through the site and showing you more of my picks on Monday :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!
