Love or hate Valentine’s Day, it’s still full of sales so why not profit on that angle, am I right? The boys have cute parties at school so I threw together a fun little outfit to be festive along with them!

| Lips Top | Distressed Skinny Jeans | Similar Leopard Clutch | Earrings |

| Similar Watch | Bangle Bracelets |

And how can we not add in my favorite shoes?! They really are just perfect for all holidays

And out of sheer laziness I am just going to link some of my fave picks from each store! Show a little love for yourself this year and grab something that puts a smile on your face! Especially from this new line that Bauble Bar has launched at Target! Affordable and adorable are two words that have me snatching things up before they are gone

I hope you all have a beautiful week!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale time! Ok so maybe that is a slight exaggeration but let’s still be in the spirit, ok?

I am sharing my favorite finds here and a lot more links on FB, so make sure you are following along over there as well because those quick posts will have the items selling out to fast to post here.

Let’s start with ridiculous Under $20 accessories! I have ordered the watch and already have the large pendant necklace and it’s totally gorgeous!! (links below)

| Gold Cuff | White and Pink Studs | Hammered Gold Hoops | Silver Watch |

| Large Pendant Necklace | Turquoise Small Pendant | Emerald Ring |

Some details to note- that watch comes in gold and silver, and there are multiple pieces of jewelry that are so similar to Gorjana (which I love) with the hammered gold and beyond half the price!

Up next are my favorite purses and totes and some of these are under $25 and there is kind of something for everyone here… Fringe, leather, color, neutral, and stripes!

| Backpack | Suede Fringe Crossbody | Red Tote (other colors too) | Striped Tote(red and tan too) |

Now how cute is this tote?! For the pool or beach- just the summer in general! And no joke… Under $30!

| Straw Tote Bag |

Sam Edelman sandals are also beyond cute and tons on sale! And most of these come in multiple colors!

That’s all for now but like I said- Like and follow along with Windgate Lane on Facebook to get more links to great deals!

I think we are all ready for spring fashion, yes? And awesome sales along with that deserved a post! If you follow Windgate Lane on FB and Instagram, then you have seen these deals and coupon codes… if you don’t… well do it! I share a lot of great deals on both social media platforms!

This also feels like a good time to explain what it means when you see *affiliate links* before some of my posts.  As a blogger who creates and shares content and products, I am given the opportunity to share links through companies and receive a small percentage for the sharing and possible purchase of said products.  It is just a way for companies and bloggers to both benefit from working together, but I also do so in order to share links in one easy location for my readers.

Links: 

| Plaid Shirt | Red Flats | Seaglass Necklace | Distressed Skinny Jeans | Watch | Coastal Tee |

I have ordered the ED shoes and will report back once they have arrived!

It is also National Jewelry Day today so it seemed like a great time to share one of my favorite online jewelry resources, Bauble Bar!  And they are offering 30% off with code NEVERENOUGH on everything right now! 

I want one of each, thank you very much! So head to Bauble Bar and grab yourself a little something or your Mom for Mother’s Day!

Old Navy is also killing it this spring and 40% off Today! So many fun patters and colors and of course I am biased on this one…

| Buffalo Check Top | Buffalo Check Shorts |

So there you have it- some fun spring shopping! Even if it’s still cool where you are, I am sure this will all bring some spring to you!

I have many people in my life who are next to impossible to shop for! Like the… oh I don’t care what I get kinda people.  You know who you are.  So I made a Top Ten Eleven List of my Favorite Things- just to give some go to ideas for the random presents you might need!

1.  Michael Kors Watch  2.  Humans of New York Book  3.  GlamGlow Face Mask

4.  Kate Spade Planner  5.  Stay Fancy Wine Glass  6.  Leopard Clutch

7.  Kate Spade iPhone Case  8.  Slippers  9.  Peace Sign Tray

10.  Bauble Bar Knot Earrings  11.  Sara Happ Lip Gloss

 Just a few notes… MK watch- always a crowd pleaser and on sale! The Humans of New York book would be an awesome gift! Such great real life stories.  You can follow them on Instagram to see what it’s all about.

Glam Glow face mask basically makes you look 10 years younger after 20 minutes… and no they aren’t paying me to say that.  The lip gloss… I have mentioned it before and it will remain on my Must Have list for life!

I have those slippers in pink from last year and even my Boys try and steal them they are so comfy! Pink and all:) I might need the white ones now though…

That leopard clutch is beyond adorable! If you want to grab an extra one for me that would be just fine! And how cute is the Kate Spade planner and iPhone case?

No clue what someone will like?  Why not get them a little peace sign trinket tray for $14… super cute!

And last but not least… Stay Fancy people with your Stay Fancy wine glass! I may pour beer in mine but it will still be Fancy cause it says so!

I think any of these gifts would bring a smile to a face! And mine… once again… feel free to buy extras for me.  I kid… kinda.

I hope you have a beautiful week and am so thankful for y’all!

Oh and head HERE to find some fun Stocking Stuffers as shown below! (cause everyone needs a banana flask)

Who is ready for a fun Summer Shopping List?! ME!

Sometimes my picks have a true reason for the season… but… sometimes they don’t and I just like and want them:)

Let’s start with my favorite fun outfit~

| Free People Swing Top | Gladiator Sandal | Crossbody Bag | Necklace |

| Tassle Bracelets  |  Watch |

This top is so pretty and so comfortable- it even has pockets hidden in the swing:)  And the rest of the accessories are going to work with almost any outfit you put on!

Now as for summer beauty… my summer will consist of pool, sweating, more pool, more sweating, and travel.

| Evian Facial Spray |

| Fringe Swim Cover-Up | Straw Hat |

A cute cover up is essential and the Evian spray I have mentioned before and love at any time of the year.  But during the summer it is so refreshing and then the Dr. JART masks are just about the best things EVER!

Remember when I told you about Sara Happ LipSlip Lipgloss and how it is the most amazing thing EVER? Well these Dr. Jart Hydrogel Masks are just the Bee’s Knees as well!

I wanted to sleep with the mask on just because it was so cool and relaxing! and no one is paying me to say this… but if they want to, I think I could do a pretty awesome infomercial!  (I should note that you are only supposed to wear it for 20-30 minutes).

The hat is a no brainer.  Listen ladies- we can use tanners and bronzers to get our healthy glow! Say no to sun on that pretty face! Maybe in another post I will show all of my favorite bronzers…

So there you have it- some Summer Favorites! Comment and let me know what some of yours are!

It is Nordstrom Triple Points time- which means for those of you who have a Nordstrom card- you are working your way towards awesome $20 notes headed your way! If you don’t have one, you can go here to check out the deets.

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I was in deep concentration when I received the new Nordstrom Catalog. (Follow @WindgateLane here for sneak peaks and fashion inspiration)

Did you notice that Nordstrom Liked my post? It’s like the MotherLand nodding at me!

Ok, enough chit chat- my faves thus far! This simple necklace comes in silver too and I am wanting it for every outfit- and the friendship bracelet I’m sure most of you had in 8th grade? My eyes can’t make those anymore so for $20 some dollars, I want it!  The Kendra Scott gorgeousness is going in the- I want for Mother’s Day- bag

 | 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. |

These cute sandal choices speak for themselves!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am loving all of the floral and lace for spring! These are three of my fave picks!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am currently obsessed with skin care and I love my Clarisonic Skin Care Brush– but now I might just need this to keep that under eye skin nice and pretty- and the Dior… such a great spring/summer color and to just throw in your purse!

| 1. | 2. |

And not Nordstrom related but I had to share this water bottle from Eleventh Avenue because it is the cutest and only $11.50! (affiliate)

| Every Day I’m Hustling Water Bottle |

I hope you are starting to see signs of spring like I am!

I am so excited y’all! I have a couple of spring weddings to attend this year!

As I started writing this post, it occurred to me that most of y’all have only really seen my face- well guess what?! I am not a size 2… shock and awe.  I am a healthy size 10/12 and even while I wince a bit to admit that, I realize I shouldn’t.  I’ve had two beautiful babies and continue to work to get healthier but more importantly work to be more comfortable in my own skin!

So why should I dread putting on a pretty dress and heels and feeling pretty at a wedding just because I’m not model thin?! I shouldn’t! And while I kind of hate that a 10/12 is considered plus size… oh well… those are just words and I for one am thankful that they are making gorgeous dresses for those of us who are all about our Bass… cause dis Momma got curves!

This is the inspiration I have put together so far for myself- I’m still pondering over the shoes- but I love that this dress is simple, but also brings in the interest at the bottom with the almost watercolor looking print!  Pin Below for Sources later:

Nordstrom for the win again! Dress can be found here.  Coral Heels.  Nude Heels.  And I have been obsessed with this necklace for awhile and may finally pull the trigger- it is the Courtney Bib from Bauble Bar.

Corals, mints, greys, and pinks are it colors right now and I am happy to get on board!

I found a ton of dresses I loved at Nordstrom online and am glad I have some time to decide and also some time to possibly get a bit of a tan… cause I’m afraid I could bring planes down with the reflection off my white skin…

I hope y’all have a fabulous day!
