Nordstrom, I need you.

Nordstrom is my mecca. A place where (nearly) everything is in style, well-made, and well-priced. And their return policy is completely ridiculous--in a good way. I love it, love it, love it.

I recently made a few purchases at the Half Yearly sale, including a Michael Kors coat, a pair of 7 for All Mankind skinnies, and a few sweaters and skirts. Then, shamefully I must admit that while on a weekend trip down to Portland I paid the store another visit...

For those who have yet to visit the great state of Oregon, you may be interested to learn that there is no sales tax in the entire state. That means, the sticker price of whatever item you are lusting over is the final price! As someone living in Vancouver, that's something I really appreciate. I managed to restrain myself and only buy one item, which I am absolutely in love with. Don't laugh.

It's a Timex Easy Reader watch. Yes, the same brand that my father wears. But, as you can see below, this isn't your daddy's watch. And at only $60 (tax free!) it was definitely an affordable indulgence.
