I am heading to the lake this weekend to see my besties and celebrate a baby on board, engagements, and reunion. I can’t wait for all the fellowship and conversation but I am most excited to get back to the Lake this summer. Earlier in July my family and I spent a week up in Wisconsin living the lake life, something we do every summer, and I am itching to get back on the water. Whether you are a beach or mountain girl, I’m sure you can find plenty of reasons to love the lake. I am sharing my favorite activities on the lake, reasons why I love it so much, and essentials for your next trip to the lake.

I love going to work everyday and putting in the hard hours to make a difference. I don’t love my stuffy work wardrobe. I try to push the boundaries and wear trendy outfits that are work appropriate, but most days I wear the same ol’ tan trousers with a button down or standard dress shirt. BUT when I can get my hands on a pair of pants that feel and move like sweatpants yet presentable to the outside world, I buy in bulk! Read on to see how I styled these culottes and check out the pairs I linked in the post!

The weekend starts early for me and Im spending my lazy morning shopping the #nsale. I am also sharing with you information about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale I wished I knew long before this year. I have included my top picks and linked a few other big sales going on this weekend! I hope you enjoy and jump on the #nsale bandwagon too to pick up some great steals.
