#NSale Wish List

Unknown
In case you didn't know, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is something to get excited about! It's a once a year event when they come out with brand new fall merchandise...and put it on sale (insert smiley emoji here) It's basically the opposite of what every other store does when they do end of season markdowns on the items that are leftover. 

This is especially wonderful for a planner like myself and for anyone who wants to get the hottest items for way less. I've already started planning fall outfits for a few trips that I'll be taking this fall, because Lord knows I wont be wearing any of it here in Florida until December -__-. 

The "nsale" began on July 14th for Nordstrom cardholders, but it goes public for the rest of us on this Friday, the 22nd. Many items sell out quickly, so you bet Ill be online at a ridiculous hour and at the store on friday morning. I may even beg my friend Abigail to brave the crowd with me, lucky her ;) After the sale, the prices go back up to regular price, which is why I felt moved to share my wishlist picks with you! Hope you lovelies get everything your heart desires & more! 

Top Ten Picks:

Nars is known for quality blushes that are normally $30 each. With four blushes, a highlighting blush, and a bronzing powder at $65, this palette is a no-brainer for all makeup lovers like myself.

These boots are calling my name. Booties are so versatile and this color is just gorgeous. 

If I were to pick only one item from the entire sale, it would be these tights. I've read great reviews and it's basically all I wear during fall and winter! 


 Who doesn't love a good over the knee sock?? I'm just torn between blue or black. The blue are more fun and remind me of a snowy winter day, but the black would match more pieces and I can picture wearing them with tall boots and a dress.

These boots are also calling for me (surprise). Granted, living in Florida, I will only get use out of these from December to February, but regardless I think they are a staple and will be mine.


This dress is a great price and what I imagine to be the perfect transition piece for every season. From summer sandals, throw on some tights, boots and a scarf and suddenly it's made for fall. It comes in like 10 different colors, but this one if my favorite.



This tshirt looks so chic and its under $16! Could quite possibly talk myself into getting one of every color once I try it on (my husband isn't so sure about getting EVERY color lol).

If you don't have many makeup brushes, this set would be great for you or make a good gift!


Really hoping that they restock this one in tan, because I absolutely adored it even more in that color. Such a good price for a quality cardigan.

I've been on the hunt for a great fitting flare leg pant for years now, these could be it and under $50 isn't a bad thing either!


Thanks for dropping in & I'll be letting you know what I actually get!

Gotta blast, God Bless!

Jean Dress with Pops of Pink

Unknown
















While driving through downtown, I admired this mural as it was being painted and promised to come back to view it in all of its glory. Well, what a work of art! I'm always amazed at all of the art to be found in my city. There will be future mural finding adventures with my awesome photographer and brother- that's for sure!

The color combination of blue and pink has always had a sweet spot in my heart. Actually, I just got a pair of sneakers in those colors that I posted on my Instagram (@theashleyciaccia). Maybe its because they resemble my favorite candy, cotton candy, or perhaps just because bright colors have the ability to make my outlook more positive. What are your favorite color combinations?

DRESS: similar and under $30 / WEDGES: I'm loving these comfortable ones / BAG: similar 
SUNGLASSES: fossil, similar here / HAT: asos

God Bless, Gotta Blast!

The Perfect Summer Dress

Unknown
Today, I'm sharing the perfect summer dress in bright yellow to replace the sun that seems to have gone missing here in South Florida. Not only has it been m.i.a for a few days now, but will continue to elude us for approximately 4 more days this week. Don't worry, I've just started the book "Me Before You" (who's seen the movie!?) Hopefully that, among other things, can keep me occupied inside on these dreary days. 

Now, about this dress...I wore it twice over the weekend, which should tell you something! The material is cotton, so of course it's super comfortable and lightweight. I will warn you to size up, because it is a bit short; I'm 5'3 and wearing a size 6 for reference. Asos has this dress in multiple colors, which I will be ordering at least one more (especially at $25). I can't tell you how much I adore when a piece makes me feel this feminine and chic. Off-the-shoulder is nothing new, but it is a classic style that looks great. It has made a huge appearance this season, and I for one am glad.













Gotta Blast, God Bless!

Vibrant Summer Maxi Dress

Unknown
Happy Ash Wednesday, and hope you're having a great week so far. I utterly adore this maxi, especially for in the heat of the summer. Today, I styled this vibrant maxi-dress with some darling accessories. Normally, I wouldn't go for something with such a busy pattern or so many shades. After trying it on, I found it to be perfect for so many occasions and you're sure to stand out. You could wear something like this for a day in the city, date night, church, or a summer picnic.

A Pastel Performance!

Unknown
My friend and I went to see the beloved musical, The Lion King, at the Straz center! It was my second musical, and I loved it. The costumes were impressively creative and some of the voices were heavenly. I went with soft pastels and fabrics for this fancy look. I may have to buy this dress in every color, considering how inexpensive and versatile it is. In the heat of summer I could wear it by itself, or on a chilly night, just throw on a cardigan.





DRESS: f21 (UNDER $15!) / JACKET: f21 / EARRINGS: charlotte / SHOES: guess / PURSE: (pricey but beautiful leather) I want this color too--> regal head
