Weekend Wrap-up: The Grammys + Jumpsuits + Nordstrom is Having a Sale!

The post red carpet chatter is alive and tweeting about best/worst dressed at the Grammys last week.

Forget worst dressed because if you can’t get it right with your stylist, find a new one.  Done!

So much great style to watch, but three fabulous ladies stood out to me,

Taylor Swift was stunning in my favorite shade of green for Spring 2015

Gwen Stefani – jumpsuit perfection

And Ariana Grande – anyone catch her whited-out pastel pink nails?

As for the nails, FOUND! I am sure this isn’t Ariana’s EXACT polish, but both my kids said, “Mom you found it”!

Pretend the can of mom soda is a gorgeous clutch and just take in the color.

Get the scoop on this fab pink color plus 4 others via Julep, click HERE for this weeks nail post on the blog.

 Nordstrom is back on with another clearance sale, and quite a few of the items in the following sets are now marked down. I have highlighted any new markdowns within the sets so you don’t miss out as well as some additional Nordstrom sale picks at the end of this post. If jumpsuits are just not for you, scroll down to my Nordstrom sale picks at the end of this post (but why would you at least not take a peek?)

I was so excited to see Gwen rocking her jumpsuit to perfection last week. To me jumpsuits are the new LBD. There is truly a style and fit for every body type, you just need to find the one that works best for you.

This week I picked up the Parker ‘LIV’ jumpsuit featured in THIS post on the blog over at Nordstrom HERE

I realize that spaghetti straps are not for everyone, there are more styles out there now than I can cover in one post so pop back next week for more color and style options. I’ve listed a few options in black below to get you started.

I love it for it’s versatility. It is very lightweight and can be worn in the Spring and Summer.

I think jumpsuits look best with heels. With the right shoe, this style can make your legs look miles long! I would however wear this particular style (because of it’s cropped length) with a metallic low heeled sandal the summertime as well.

I think a heavy shoe weighs the look down.

My shoe is an ankle strap sandal but I also like a pointy toe pump as Gwen wore with her jumpsuit as as I did above.

I have my eye on replacing this gold platform ankle strap with one of the newer, lower heeled ones out there for spring.

One jumpsuit, 4 ways

There is a black jumpsuit out there for every body type and price range.

I rounded up a few to check out:
