10 Must-Buy Items During The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
barcelonaconnect.com

It's that time of year again; the sun is out and shining, ice cream can be eaten outside, dusty sunglasses are pulled out of a dark drawer. . . But instead of getting some much needed Vitamin D, you've been wandering around inside for hours, going from department to department in search of a good deal, persevering through the pain in your feet caused by being dumb and wearing sandals while weaving in and out of crowds. . . (Or is that just me...?) It's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The pre-sale started July 14 and the sale opens to everybody on the 22nd. These deals go quickly, so I've outlined 10 must-haves.

1. Free People Bralettes


Regular Price: $38.00

Sale Price: $24.90

Free People's bralettes are incredibly popular, extremely comfortable, and kinda pricey, so when they go on sale, it's wonderful. Bralettes are a necessity for the current backless trends (and for basically all of Free People's clothes).

Get it here.

2. Free People Crossover Sweater

Regular Price: $88.00

Sale Price: $58.90

I like this sweater because it's simple and classic, but with a twist. I'm tempted to say that it has a sassy flair, but I'm not sure how a sweater can sass you.

Get it here.

3. Topshop Chiffon Skirt


Regular Price: $85.00

Sale Price $55.90

This skirt has a classic length and frame, which I think looks amazing with the pleats.

Get it here.

4. Topshop Turtleneck Top


Regular Price: $25.00

Sale Price: $15.90

Personally, I love the fact that turtlenecks are coming back into style because I love having a cozy neck. This top is basic but with an elegantly fashionable cut.

Get it here.

5. Zella Crop Leggings


Regular Price: $48.00

Sale Price: $24.90

Zella leggings are comfortable and are great for exercising-- unlike many leggings designed for leisure. Also of note: this is a really good deal.

Get them here.

6. Nike


Pretty much anything Nike that actually goes on sale during the Nordstrom Sale will be a great deal, but in particular, I would say that some of the best deals are on shoes.

7. Mary Jane Pump


Regular Price: $139.95

Sale Price: $79.90

These are adorable. That is all.

Get them here.

8. BCBGeneration Ankle Bootie


Regular Price: $99.95

Sale Price: $64.90

This is essentially your standard ankle bootie. Not only is it really cute and simple, it's also reasonably priced.

Get them here.

9. BP. Cardigan


Regular Price: $68.00

Sale Price: $44.90

True story: I've always admired these long open cardigans on other people but was always skeptical of how they would look on me. Then I tried one on, and it was great. It's like wearing a blanket all of the time.

Get it here.

10. Denim


Typically, denim at Nordstrom is pretty darn expensive. That all changes during the sale. Yes, they probably still won't be cheap, but a little bit more reasonably priced. Plus, you can get some high end really good quality jeans. Personally, I have had great success with Paige and Topshop jeans.

Happy shopping!

*disclaimer* I am, by no means, an expert. I am not a fashion expert, and I am not a Nordstrom expert. So take my advice with a grain of salt, eh?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
