Style on a Budget | Cargo Vest Dupes

I recently purchased a cargo vest from Old Navy. After posting the picture on Instagram, I received a question on where to purchase one. While there are many blog posts out there with dupes, many of these posts contain vests that have sold out. I thought it would be nice to tell you of two options. Check out the two vests below!

Blanket Scarf and Tortoise Necklace for Less

Have you been wanting to buy one of the beautiful blanket scarves for the chilly temperatures coming this fall and winter? Well, me too. I found two links this morning that I thought I would quickly share with you all that offers these beautiful scarves for less. I just ordered mine from Ebay, but the first website is more reliable. If you are not a member of Groopdealz, click the invite link before you attempt to purchase.

Top 6 Things I Love about iPhone 6

Yesterday, Apple held their live keynote event on all of their new Apple products being unveiled. My invitation never arrived in the mail (I kid, I kid) so I took the opportunity to watch it on my iPad (you had to watch it on Safari) during work. If you missed it watch it here.  I thought I would share some of my favorite features below. Be warned that a lot of them are based around the options provided by the new versions.




Let me know if you plan to buy one. What color and size?





1. Size Options
The iPhone 6 not only has a bigger screen than previous iPhones, but it offers the option of an even bigger screen with the Plus option. I am still on the fence on which one I want to get.




2. Landscape View
I don't know about you, but it has always bothered me that I could not use the landscape feature on my phone in a lot of the apps on my phone, not to mention the Apple apps. This is a small addition, but I am more than glad to see it.



3. Better Camera
I won't go into detail with this one because I am no camera expert, but the camera quality was compared to DSLR camera. This is great for the blogger on the go.


4. Fitness App
Fitness apps are so popular now! Apple definitely knew what they were doing by adding this app that allows you to track your progress over time with an app that you already own.


5. Apple Pay
Similar to Google Wallet, ApplePay seems to be the future of how we will be able to pay in possibly a more secure way. This is a Passbook on steroids with the ability to add credit cards.


6. Color Options and Price Options
Short and sweet: Prices are the same. Color options are gold, silver, and space gray. (ooooh to space gray, but I am all for gold)

Are you getting the new iPhone?

Christmas in July | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wish List

For some reason, I have never attended/shopped at a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I don't know how this has occurred since I live only a couple miles from one and the website is always accessible, but after seeing everyone talking about it I went on over to the website and took a look for myself. I now regret doing that, because it took a lot of restraint to not order all of the items I fell in love with on the website.

I thought I would share some of the items I fell in love with and somewhat dream of getting. I might purchase one or more, if it was not for the car repairs that popped up today (A/C breaking in the middle of the summer). If only I had one of these growing  in the backyard.

My Christmas Wish List for July:

 (if I was rich and/or not a somewhat recent college graduate, but I am dreaming)
