We know that this Nordstrom Anniversary sale sold out like crazy, even when it was the very beginning, but we did manage to find some pieces that are still in stock! In case you missed what this sale is, or our other posts on the sale, you can read all about them here.
We have been getting such great blog topic ideas from y’all! One of the topics you all had requested was sharing what we would eat to make some healthier choices when eating out for brunch. We know that eating out is definitely a social activity, and who wants to sit at home and miss out on fun outings just because you’re trying to eat healthier! Trust us, you can ALWAYSmake a healthier choice no matter what! Before we get into our tips, we wanted to talk about this super cute yellow dress and these affordable neutral accessories!This dress is so cute, and who doesn’t just feel happier when they are wearing yellow? We love yellow anything! We are wearing a S in the dress for reference, and are 5’1″, so you all can get an idea of how tall we are, and where the dress hits us. The peep toe sandals and bag are both from Sole Society and great transitional pieces for fall! You could wear these sandals with jeans, skirts, dresses, and shorts!
And, now for our healthy eating tips for eating out for brunch:
stick to lean proteins like eggs, chicken, fish, etc.
swap out starchy sides like potatoes and fried foods for fruits or side salads.
ask for sauces on the sides (like hollandaise, etc).
sides of salsa can be a great addition on top of eggs or any other dish.
order black coffee with unsweetened almond or coconut milk and stevia (more about our coffee orders in this post).
if ordering sweet dishes like French Toast or pancakes, split it with the table, and order a healthier protein-filled dish for your main meal.
if choosing an alcoholic beverage, stick to plain champagne.
skip out on sugary granola, and if ordering oatmeal, ask for it plain (no sugar or butter), and add in your own sweetener or fresh fruit.
we love ordering a hot tea or hot water with lemon to drink as well!
Some of our favorite things to order at brunch are:
omelette with vegetables and a side of fruit or side salad (dressing on the side)
bunless burger with a side salad or fruit
salad with salmon or chicken (dressing on the side)
eggs and steak with vegetables
eggs with turkey bacon or 1 link of sausage and vegetables
eggs with plain oatmeal and fresh fruit
All the accessories we styled in this post are from Sole Society . In case you haven’t realized, we live in neutral bags and shoes. They have the best stuff!
We have been loving this Did you all know you can rent designer jewelry each month for under $30/month from a company called Switch? We first shared about this amazing service in this post and this post, but we wanted to talk about them again because we love their concept, and especially since we love David Yurman so much, we wanted to share how you can rent their pieces for under $30/month. Switch is a designer jewelry rental subscription service that gives members access to brands like David Yurman, Hermès, Dior, and more! The service is under $30 a month, which is far less than any of these designer pieces! PS- they just redesigned their website, and it looks incredible! With designer pieces, it can be tough to make the decision to splurge on such an expensive piece. You may only end up wearing it a couple of times, and even if you do wear it a lot, you will still want the latest pieces. Their base plan allows you to have one piece at a time for $29 a month, but you can also choose other plans that allow you to have more than one piece per month.In our case, we chose the plan with three pieces.We chose the David Yurman Infinity Bracelet,the David Yurman Cable Bracelet in Onyx, and the Chanel Vintage CC Bracelet. These David Yurman bracelets are timeless, and we wear our pretty much every day, whether casual or dressy! The Chanel is a fun one to add to any stack!

In case you missed how Switch works, and how easy the whole process is, we wanted to recap for you all!
The process is super easy: Subscribe, Style, Switch.
As many of y’all know, we are MAJOR coffee fans. We legit could polish off an entire pot ourselves, haha. In the summer, though, hot coffee doesn’t always sound very appealing. We wanted to share our go-to coffee drinks (and healthier options) for when you are ordering a drink at your local coffee shop! Before we get into our drink orders, this off shoulder dress is a great option for a hot, summer day! It has the cutest bow detailing on the arms, and it is 40% off right now, making it under $27. This blue color is sold out, but it is still available in a cream color and a blush, which are both super pretty! These buckle sandals have been our favorite summer sandal right now. They are really comfortable, and they go with everything! They are a great sandal if you’re heading out for a trip and don’t want to have to pack a ton of sandals. You can wear them with shorts, dresses, and jeans, and the color is a great neutral. The earrings are a great pop of color, without being too much, and the bag is a comfy, cross-body bag that can be worn so many different ways.
So, now, for our favorite coffee drinks. We took these pictures at one of our favorite patios in Dallas, Lekka. They have amazing food, desserts, and coffee. We ordered a regular iced coffee with a little bit of unsweetened almond milk on the side. We usually don’t put sweetener in our coffee, but if we do, we will use this stevia and carry it in our purses!
Some other drinks we love are:
Latte with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
Americano
Unsweetened green or herbal tee
Iced Passion Tea with green tea at Starbucks
Iced Coffee (black) with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk with stevia or cinnamon on top
Black coffee with cinnamon sprinkled on top
These super cute, affordable accessories are from Sole Society . If you’re looking for some great neutral shoes or bags, their pieces are a must!
The Nordstrom Sale is still taking place, and even though a bunch of the clothing pieces are sold out, most of the handbags are still available! We are all about investing in some key pieces, especially bags. This is a great time to get a designer bag you’ve been eyeing, or a good bag for fall!
This olive tote is a great every day bag, as well as for traveling or work!
This leopard bag is a great bag for dinner or date night. Love the chain strap!
This duffel is a great weekend bag and comes in black, too!
We have this gold bag in black, and it is a great, classic bag, and it has a gunmetal chain strap, which we love!
