Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Shop Shoes Under $100

All my friends and family know I am a bit of a shoe fiend. Nothing on the scale of Imelda Marcos, but I have a small collection that I am pretty proud of. Every July/August when the Nordstrom Anniversary sale comes around I flip feverishly through the catalog, making notes on which pairs to add to my collection. While Nordstrom does have some effing awesome deals in all the departments it's the shoes that I will always go for. This year it was hard to pick my favorites, there were just so many pretty pairs, but I whittled it down to a few favorite picks. In reality I only have a budget to only buy one. I'm not sure what the lucky pair will be yet, but feel free to leave a comment on which shoes should be added to the ever growing collection. Have you checked out any of Nordstrom's sales in the past? Had any amazing shopping finds there? What are your picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

How Do You Store Your Shoe Collection?

I was flipping through my Bloglovin reader when I came to Everything Fabulous' post dedicated entirely to different forms of shoe organization that real women have used.  I stopped, I stared, I was in complete awe of the creativity, the variety and the massiveness of these shoe collections. I say collections because once you have gone beyond ten pairs of shoes it seems fair to consider yourself a collector, a connoisseur in the fine art of footwear.   This was the photo from Everything Fabulous that initially drew me in.

I ask you to just take one moment to allow the beauty and creativity of this shoe storage to wash over you.  Have you absorbed it? Good.  This person has taken a beautiful French style display cabinet and converted it into a completely practical storage solution.  The cabinet loses none of it's functionality or beauty and the shoes get a pretty perch to view and be viewed from.

Here is my current shoe storage solution, I say current since shoe storage in my home is always evolving to accommodate my growing collection.  It doesn't have any of the glamor (sigh how I wish it did) of the above cabinet, but it serves it's purpose of making my footwear visible and easily accessible.

OK I showed you mine now I want to see yours, shoe storage of course (what else would I be talking about).  I want to continue this voyeuristic peek inside other people's closets, so shoot me an email with a picture of your current shoe storage solution and I will create a post of all the pictures I receive (make sure you include your name so I can credit you in my post).  Try to have your pics in by next Friday December 1st.

Small Size Shoe Event

Small footed ladies rejoice! This Saturday the Nordstrom Rack at Union Square, City Center and Bergen Town Center will be offering an enhanced selection of women's shoes sizes 4-6. Sadly I won't be around on Saturday so I am asking you to check it out and report back. I want to hear about your shopping finds, footwear fights, triumphs and tragedies (it would be a tragedy if you went home empty handed). I am living vicariously through you, remember to report back here and leave a note in the comments section.
