Things go fast during the NSale, so I wanted to share with you what my top picks would be!
- UPPAbaby Vista V2 – it is SO hard to find UPPAbaby products on sale and this stroller is hands-down one of the best baby purchases we’ve ever made! It absolutely had to be #1 on my list! I still tell Chance almost every time we use it how much I love it … and we’ve had it for over two years now – pretty sure he’s sick of me saying this! It has so many options for how you can use it – we’ve loved it as a single, double and now a triple! The push is so smooth and easy!! No doubt, it’s an investment but I am here to tell you that it is worth EVERY PENNY! This is our everyday go-to stroller; it seriously never comes out of my car. So much storage and never feels like I’m pushing over 100 lbs haha I recommend the Uppababy travel bag if you do plan to travel with it. The only color for the sale price is Stella Grey, but it’s actually a timeless color that is gender neutral 🙂
- Zella Live In Joggers – you can’t go wrong with just about any of the Zella products, but these joggers are going to sell out quickly! Sooo comfortable for fall and winter, especially since it looks like we’ll be home a little more than usual for the rest of the year. Everyone needs a pair of soft and stretchy yet stylish pants in their life! These are great for being super comfortable but still having that “put together” feeling.
- Thule Urban Glide 2 Double w/ Organizer Accessory Bundle – (also available in a single) another stroller favorite of ours! We did a lot of research on strollers before Gage was born. We had a single B.O.B. stroller but knew we didn’t want the double version. While there aren’t tons of options out there as you start getting into the doubles, this one has definitely fit all of our needs with an easy push. Our boys are big, so an easy push is a must for me! Also, Chance & I have over a foot height difference and being able to adjust handlebars easily is a top priority for us. This handlebar is super easy to do just that. The shades are very large which is important to keep the kiddos out of the sun, since we use this stroller when we are going to be outdoors for awhile. It has good storage on the bottom and strong brakes! This particular one comes with the parent organizer which includes cupholders.
- Blondo Glenda Waterproof Sneaker Bootie – I found this brand when looking for boots to travel in. The brand comes highly recommended if you’re trying to mix fashion and functionality. You never know what the weather is going to be like in some destinations (especially locales like Seattle) and knowing that my boots are waterproof is a huge win for me. Major bonus points because they’re comfortable but still fashionable. The brown snake print leather is already selling out, but the grey camo suede is also super cute. I try to pick more neutral type colors when choosing shoes for travel so that I can minimize how much I have to pack!
- Vince Camuto Fedrilla Open Toe Bootie – I actually have quite a few booties on my wish list, but these are my top choice. Since we live wear it’s hot 8 months out of the year, open toe booties help me get into that “fall feeling” while it’s still 80 degrees outside haha The tortilla nubuck leather is going to go fast. I love that they have a zipper on the inside to make taking them on and off much easier and the 4 in heel height really helps a short gal out 😉 These will style fantastically with dresses, jeans, leggings, skirts etc. Such a great versatile option to have in your arsenal this fall!
- Tory Burch Carson Top Handle Leather Hobo Bag – a great looking bag at a great size (and now price!)! I feel like I’m that person who either has a small bag or a large bag as a purse – there’s no in between – am I the only one like that? This style is sleek and will pair well with so much … anything from jeans and flats to a black dress with pumps for the work day. As I become a “veteran mom,” I find myself leaving the house less and less with the actual diaper bag and saying “I’ll just wing it” and throw a diaper in my purse! I think after 4 years of diaper bags, I just want to feel a semblance of normality and fashion again haha This bag would easily hold everything I need! I love the moose (tan) color but it’s also available in black.
- T3 SinglePass Curling Iron – I’ve had my T3 for three or four years now. It’s a fantastic curling iron and worth the investment at full price, but it’s even better if you can get it on sale! It heats up SO fast and the curls last for days!!!! I have the type of hair that really doesn’t hold curl well, and I HATE having to put a ton of hair spray and product in my hair. I would seriously rather just re-curl it the next day, but with this one I totally don’t have to worry about that! I love the 1.25in barrel for creating those big, loose curls!
- Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase – Around the same time I started using the T3, I also started using a silk pillowcase. Chance was super sweet and got me one off of Amazon. It was a little bit of a cheaper brand, and since then I’ve upgraded to this one. I got it as a gift for Christmas one year, but it’s a great snag during the sale. My hair is prone to frizz, so this really helps tame that and keep my hair much smoother. It’s so great to wake up and only need to brush my hair to have it looking nice for the day!!
What are YOU most excited to shop for during the NSale?!? Share with me below 🙂
