Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks (Items I actually use)
I used to really look forward to the #nsale but many of the items are sold year after year so I truly buy only basics now. Beauty items that tend to not go on sale and classic pieces that will last for years to come. 2020 has thrown us a loop and we are working
