Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Must-Haves

I know you all are probably tired of seeing all the #NSale blog posts....said no one ever! So, I decided to hop on the bandwagon and share some of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale favorites. The best part of the #NSale is that all the items are new season and you get to snag them at awesome prices before they go up to regular price on August 3rd. This is the perfect time to stock up your closet with fall staple pieces. My favorite trends for this upcoming fall are flared jeans, dressy hoops, neutral palettes, and statement pieces like this chic Steve Madden Patchwork Faux Fur Vest. It's so unique, but still versatile-I just knew I wanted-no, NEEDED it in my closet. I plan to show you guys several different ways to style this piece once it cools down in Texas-which unfortunately won't be for a while. So I guess I'll just admire this piece hanging in my closet until then. Below are more of my favorites!

Birthday Celebration: Day Two

The second day of our trip was amazing. My mom had a morning meeting, so she ordered a Swedish Massage for me at the Omni's sister site, Mokara. The spa staff was so welcoming and attentive, I didn't want to leave. And let me tell you, my neck and shoulders were in desperate need of some attention. If you get the chance to stay at Mokara while visiting San Antonio, you have to treat yourself to their spa amenities-I promise you won't be disappointed.

After my massage, my mom and I took a trip to the Shops at La Cantera (you guys know I can't resist a good shopping center). After a short walk around the shops and a delicious treat from Godiva, we returned to our hotel to get ready for my birthday dinner. 

A few months ago, my mom visited San Antonio and visited Bohanan's Prime Steaks and Seafood, so she suggested we go there for my birthday (and I was so glad she did). I ordered the Lamb Tenderloin with Crab Stuffed Shrimp, my mom ordered the 12 oz. Ribeye, and for the table we picked Jumbo Asparagus, Creamy Macaroni & Cheese, and Lobster Creamed Corn (I'm drooling now just thinking about it again). And when I thought I couldn't handle anymore delicious goodness, my mom ordered Strawberries Imperial. You guys...that dessert definitely makes my top 5 list. I couldn't have picked a better place to spend my birthday evening.

Birthday Celebration: Day One

Since I started my new job in April, I've barely had any time to spend with my mom. After missing Mother's Day, my mom's birthday, and Father's Day-all due to my hectic schedule; I decided to spend my 23rd birthday with my mom. She had a business meeting in San Antonio, so we made a road trip out of it and extended our stay. We stayed at the Omni La Mansion del Rio, which is on the river walk. The spanish style deco in the hotel was gorgeous and our room featured a balcony overlooking the river walk. We spend the first day exploring the river walk and ended the night with dinner at Landry's.
