Suzi_Says_So on LTK

There are dresses you buy for a specific occasion and then there are dresses that make you create occasions to wear them — this Alice and Olivia red structured square neck midi dress with a full dramatic skirt is absolutely the latter. I am wearing it to the LTKCon gala and already have a few fall weddings on the calendar where it is going to make another appearance, because a red fit and flare formal dress this stunning does not get retired after one wear. The square neckline, button front bodice detail and voluminous full skirt silhouette make it one of the most striking women’s formal occasion dresses at Nordstrom right now and red is one of the biggest fall wedding guest and holiday party dress color trends of the season.

Our family room setup 🤍
Sharing everything from our living room because I got so many questions yesterday. This space is designed to actually be lived in — cozy, neutral, kid-friendly, and perfect for movie nights or having friends over.

If you’re looking for a comfortable family room layout, neutral living room furniture, or a large sectional setup for an open concept space, this is it.

These Target x Rosie Assoulin green and white striped lace-up sandals might be the most fun shoe in the entire collaboration — the fabric stripe strap that ties around the ankle gives them such a playful, designer-feeling detail that you would never guess came from Target. They pair perfectly with the other pieces in the Rosie Assoulin x Target collection but honestly work just as well with a simple summer dress, white shorts, or anything that needs a fun pop of green. Move fast on these because the entire collaboration is selling out quickly and shoes are always the first to go in every size.

Honesty hour — the Target x Rosie Assoulin green and white striped belted shirt dress is absolutely stunning and the quality is genuinely impressive for the price, but it is not the one for my frame and I want to be upfront about that so you can make the right call for yours. The longline silhouette and oversized proportions of this belted maxi shirt dress work best on taller frames where the length hits differently, but if you are on the taller side this green stripe dress is a total showstopper and one of the best pieces in the entire collaboration. Sizing up or down and the belted waist detail give you some flexibility to make it work so it is absolutely worth trying if this style has been calling your name.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

The Target x Rosie Assoulin dark denim off the shoulder midi dress just arrived and it is even more stunning in person than it looked in the campaign — the ruched neckline detail, button front, and fitted to flared silhouette give it that elevated designer quality that is genuinely hard to believe at a Target price point. This is the kind of effortless summer to fall transition dress that works for a date night out, a casual wedding guest outfit, or any occasion where you want to look polished without overthinking it. The collaboration is already selling out fast so if this dress has been on your radar move on it now before your size is gone.

A salon appointment felt like the perfect excuse to put together one of those effortless summer casual outfits that looks like more effort than it actually was — the Favorite Daughter black bodysuit tucked into the Classic Six sage green mini skirt is such a clean and polished combination that works for everything from errands to a casual summer date night out. The Classic Six skirt is 40% off right now which makes it an easy add to cart moment, and the Handker056 floral botanical bandana worn as a neck scarf adds that unexpected finishing touch that elevates the whole look. Shu Shop white studded slide sandals ground the outfit perfectly and prove that a

An all white outfit for Sunday brunch is always the right call and this combination is one of those easy summer looks over 40 that comes together in minutes and still feels completely polished. The Classic Six white oversized button down shirt paired with Abercrombie white high rise shorts and white strappy lace-up flat sandals from Amazon is the kind of effortless monochromatic summer brunch outfit that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person. The Tori Bradburry necklace and BaubleBar earrings from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finish it off perfectly — use code SSS15 for 15% off all Tori Bradburry jewelry.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

The Target x Rosie Assoulin collaboration just dropped and everything about it is so good that I ordered immediately and am not even slightly sorry about it — this is the kind of designer collaboration that sells out within hours and the pieces look nothing like typical Target fashion. The green and white striped belted shirt dress, the multicolor horizontal stripe coordinating set, the blue plaid halter top and wide leg trouser set, and the dark denim off the shoulder button front midi dress are all part of the collection and every single piece has that elevated, intentional designer quality that is genuinely shocking at Target prices. If any of this is on your radar you need to move fast because Target x Rosie Assoulin is going to sell out and it will not be restocked.

Discovered this yesterday and immediately needed to tell everyone.
Clear elastic. Loop it around the belt end. You can't see it. It doesn't move.
Works on pants when the end won't fall right — and honestly even better on skirts where there are no belt loops and you're just hoping for the best. Both problems, one elastic that's probably already on your wrist.
Linking this GORGEOUS Madewell belt (it’s on pre-order in this color but I promise it’s worth it) and the exact clear elastics I use so they don’t snap 🤍 @Madewell

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm

The Classic Six Farrah denim shirt is one of those wardrobe staples that earns its place in a closet immediately — the soft chambray fabric, relaxed fit and classic button front make it the kind of versatile layering piece that works tied at the waist over a white maxi skirt, open over a tank and shorts, or fully buttoned as a shirt dress for a casual summer outfit over 40. It is on sale this weekend and code UTILITY20 takes an additional percentage off, making this one of the better moments to invest in a quality women’s denim shirt that will transition seamlessly from summer straight through fall. Classic Six sells out fast when they run a sale so grabbing your size sooner rather than later is always the right call.

Last chance to shop the Lake Pajamas summer sale — today is the final day to get 40 to 50% off the softest women’s and girls cotton pajama sets of the year and this discount does not come around often. Lake Pajamas are consistently rated the best women’s cotton pajamas for softness, fit and quality, and at nearly half off they are worth stocking up on for yourself, your daughters, and honestly even getting a jump on holiday pajama sets before the season hits. Sizes will start selling out fast as the sale wraps up so if anything has been in your cart today is the day to pull the trigger.

A white maxi skirt with a denim shirt and a gold oval belt buckle is one of those summer outfit combinations that feels effortless and elevated at the same time — and every single piece here is either affordable or on sale right now. The Classic Six denim shirt layered over an Amazon white ribbed tank with the Madewell gold oval western belt cinched at the waist gives the whole look structure, and the white mesh Target ballet flats keep it light and summery from head to toe. The Tori Bradburry pearl and gold layered necklace stack is the finishing detail that makes a simple white summer outfit over 40 feel completely intentional — use code SSS15 for 15% off all Tori Bradburry jewelry.

When a follower messages you from Paris to say she has been getting nonstop compliments on a $25 Target shoe find, you share it again immediately. These Target white mesh ballet flats are one of those affordable women’s flat shoes that look so much more expensive than they are and apparently they are just as chic on the streets of Paris as they are for everyday summer outfits over 40. At $25 they are one of the best Target shoe finds of the season and a minimalist white mesh flat that works with everything from wide leg denim to linen trousers to summer dresses.

Didn't want to love these. Tried them on. That was it. One of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks I'd buy again without hesitation — stretchy, soft, raw hem, perfect wash. #nsale #nsale2026 #nordstromanniversarysale #motherdenim #denim #jeans #fashionover40

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKPetite

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale find with the fit that's genuinely unfair. Black floral, ruching in all the right places — date night, parent parties, luncheons. This is the dress people ask you about. #nsale #nsale2026 #nordstromanniversarysale #veronicabeard #floraldress #datenight #fashionover40

A mule AND a loafer — and one of my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds. Gold detail that looks twice the price, comfortable from day one, wear with everything. #nsale #nsale2026 #nordstromanniversarysale #stevemadden #loafers #mules #fashionover40

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKSaleAlert

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale forward buy that'll carry you straight through fall. Collared, striped, and works for everything — back to school nights, lunch, the office. Staud quality at a sale price is a yes every time. #nsale #nsale2026 #nordstromanniversarysale #staud #minidress #falloutfit #fashionover40

This Erin McDermott colorful layered beaded necklace stack is having a major moment on my neck and for good reason — four bold statement necklaces in green, teal, blue, pink, orange, and yellow resin beads that you can wear all together for a maximalist summer jewelry look or style individually with any outfit. It is currently 44% off at Nordstrom which is one of the best discounts this stack has ever seen, and at that price point it is genuinely one of the best summer jewelry deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale worth grabbing before it sells out. A colorful beaded necklace stack like this is the easiest way to transform a simple white tank or neutral summer outfit into a complete and intentional look without any other accessories needed.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still live and these are the 5 things I'd actually tell you to buy. Three splurges, two not — all worth it.

A red linen button front vest is one of those pieces that instantly makes a casual outfit feel like it was actually planned, and this Anthropologie red vest paired with Avara light wash wide leg cropped raw hem denim is one of my favorite summer outfits over 40 lately. The vest trend is still going strong and styling it with wide leg denim and Dolce Vita cream woven mary jane flats keeps the whole look grounded and wearable for everyday summer errands or a casual date night out. The turquoise beaded tennis necklace adds just the right pop of color to tie the red and light denim combination together without overpowering it.

Stopped by my husband’s office and walked out completely converted to a new supplement — the Grüns Superfoods Greens Gummies in the new Raspberry Lemonade flavor are so good that I could not stop eating them, which is saying a lot because the original flavor was never really my thing. Each gummy is sugar free and packed with superfoods that support gut health, energy, immunity, recovery, and beauty, making it one of the most enjoyable ways to get your daily greens supplement without choking down a powder or pill. The Raspberry Lemonade flavor is a total game changer for anyone who has been curious about Grüns greens gummies but has been put off by other greens supplement flavors in the past.

Lake Pajamas summer sale is here and the discounts are genuinely some of the best they offer all year — 40 to 50% off the softest women’s and girls pajama sets makes this the perfect time to stock up for the whole family. I grabbed a few sets for myself and my girls across the summer prints including the yellow stripe short set, blue floral long sleeve set, light blue cami short set, green stripe wide leg set, and more — and if you are the type who likes to get ahead on the holidays, there are already some holiday pajama prints available at sale pricing too. Lake Pajamas are known for being the best cotton pajamas for women and kids and getting them at half off is an opportunity worth taking advantage of before sizes sell out.

This Amazon kitchen hack has genuinely changed the way I meal prep — the Kuibo Baggy Rack Ziploc bag holders stand on their own so you have both hands completely free while you fill freezer bags, mix marinades, pour snacks, or pack lunches without the bag collapsing on you. I use them constantly for marinating chicken and meal prep freezer meals but they work just as well for storing leftovers, portioning snacks, and anything else that involves filling a plastic bag one-handed. They are an Amazon Choice product with over 5,000 bought last month and come in packs of 4, 6, or 8 — one of those affordable Amazon kitchen organization finds that solves a problem you didn’t even realize was slowing you down.

This brown ruffle trim sleeveless button front top is sold out but I found two nearly identical options that give the same effortless summer casual look — the ruffle shoulder detail and button front silhouette is such a flattering and feminine top style that works for everything from a summer date night outfit to a casual weekend look over 40. The Quince light wash wide leg cropped jeans with the patch pocket detail are such a great affordable denim find that fits beautifully and the raw hem crop length is perfect for showing off a fun sandal. The embellished turquoise and gold buckle sandals finish the whole look and are the kind of statement shoe that makes a simple summer outfit feel completely intentional.

If you have a bob or shorter haircut and have been searching for the best way to get effortless beach waves without a traditional curling iron, this T3 Curling Straightener 2-in-1 Hair Styling Iron tutorial is exactly what you need to watch. The flat iron curling technique works so well on shorter hair and gives that lived-in beachy wave look that is genuinely hard to achieve on a bob with a regular curling wand — the T3 plates grip and bend the hair in a way that creates the most natural looking waves without the crease. It is a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusive at $133.99 down from $199.99 and if a versatile 2-in-1 hair tool for short to medium hair has been on your list, this is the one worth investing in while the N Sale discount lasts.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

A 2-in-1 hair styling tool that actually delivers on both functions is genuinely rare and the T3 Curling Straightener 2-in-1 Hair Styling Iron in Satin Blush just arrived from my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul and I could not wait to unbox it. It works as both a flat iron straightener and a curling iron in one tool, which means it replaces two separate hot tools with one beautiful blush pink styling iron that takes up half the counter space. It is a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusive at $133.99 marked down from $199.99 — 33% off on a T3 hair tool is one of the best N Sale beauty deals worth grabbing before it sells out.

BaubleBar earrings at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale pricing are always one of the best jewelry deals of the entire sale and these two are the ones worth grabbing first. The BaubleBar Shiloh Earrings in two tone gold and silver chunky twisted hoop are 34% off at $24.99 down from $38 — an incredibly versatile everyday statement earring that works with both gold and silver jewelry. The BaubleBar Layla Earring Set in gold and glass crystal is 33% off at $44.99 down from $68 and gives you three different earring styles in one set including crystal stud earrings, mini gold hoops, and teardrop crystal drop earrings, making it one of the best value jewelry finds of the entire N Sale.

Two Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shoe picks that cover the full range of fall footwear and both at 33% off — the Steve Madden Rixy Metal Crescent Mule in taupe suede at $89.99 down from $135 is the effortless slip-on loafer mule that transitions seamlessly from summer into fall and works with everything from wide leg denim to midi skirts. The Dolce Vita Salma Bootie in brown suede with a stacked western heel at $129.99 down from $195 is the kind of classic women’s fall ankle bootie that gets worn constantly from September through December and looks equally great with jeans, dresses, and trousers. Both are fully stocked right now but Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shoes are always the first category to sell out so grabbing your size early is the move. @Steve Madden US

The Staud striped shirt dress from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of those fitting room finds that stops you completely and this olive green and gold multicolor stripe collared button front dress with a drop waist ruffle mini skirt is exactly that. The vertical stripe print in deep olive, gold, rust and cream tones gives it such a rich, elevated fall color palette that works for everything from a fall brunch outfit to a holiday party look, and the structured collared top with the flouncy mini skirt bottom makes it a genuinely unique women’s fall dress you won’t see everywhere. Staud at N Sale pricing is always a move fast situation and this one is a standout fall fashion find worth grabbing before it sells out.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale luggage deals do not get better than this — the Beis carry-on roller and matching duffle bag just arrived and the cobalt blue color in person is even more stunning than it looks online. Both pieces are 25% off as part of the N Sale which is one of the best discounts Beis luggage sees all year, and having a matching carry-on and duffle set means you are completely covered for any weekend trip or short haul flight without checking a bag. If upgrading your travel luggage set has been on your list, Beis at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale pricing is the time to do it. @beistravel
