their customers with their closer to you promise so basically that stands for want to make sure the pieces that you buy from their store are closer to you we the item at a certain amount of time with the curbside pickup or if something isn't working out for you size wise they do have tailors available in store so you'll be able to find the perfect big girl and they also provide stylist as well

show you will be linked down below let's get into this haul I did pick up a couple of accessories and I am going to another Renaissance concert okay and I seen these sunglasses and I could not pass them up and they look so good on me I was a little iffy cuz my head shape is like weird but and she wears a sunglasses pair like this but this one is probably so much cheaper like I said Nordstrom has all the pieces oh my god they look so good my god I love them I'm about to serve up I'm about to serve I'm about to serve yeah yeah the love on top look baby cuz you're the one that I love perfect so if you're gonna see Beyonce you need to grab these the look will be eating so if y'all know me you know I'm a gold jewelry girl so I definitely have to pick up some cute cool and these are by the open edit look how gorgeous the spiral is on these hoops gorgeous yes I don't have a solid just plain go chunky bangles is gonna add everything that I need whenever I wear this I know this is gonna take my love to the next level because it's not doing too much but still a statement at the same time okay so this is the next outfit I put together so I have on this cargo skirt and I just love that this doesn't restrict my butt because I have issues with that this is a size large and I love the over nice pockets on here it just really gives you that cargo touch and it does have an adjustable strap can adjust it to your liking I have on this free people tank top I love a good halter neck for my wardrobe so when I've seen this I was like oh yes I had to card because I just love the little details it has on the end it's an off-white color it's not pure right it's like cream with the army green you know it's giving me that soldier I wish I would have size down in the tank top because it is a little oversized but that's okay halter neck crop striped knit tank top which I love I think I like a crop top better with the skirt just so it can show body I just got this shoulder pad top I love the details so simple so perfect for a date night and it's crap and this is a very modest top it's still covered up but it still gives you those flirty fun vibes way if I was a set this is the set I would be look how gorgeous this color is it's like a olive nude it's so beautiful I love the pocket detail on here I am living for this set this oh my god and it's so comfortable y'all so comfy so everless I love a set love that the top is cropped so it definitely can serve a little body but I am gonna go get these taken in oh my god this is going to serve one to Northam has the summer style so this is the outfit I'm gonna wear today are the flip over trouser pants this beautiful chocolate color and then I paired it with this super cute basic rib tank top and I just love the fit of this this is a small medium of the edgy touch of this which is the flip over which I've been looking for a pair of these and North came through and it fit pretty well that I can get away with for today but I probably am gonna take it to the tailor just to cinch in my waist just a little bit but other than that I do like the oversized comfort feeling of these pants these are bomb this is just what I was looking for to add it to my summer wardrobe and the pants are super beautiful so comfy it basically has been my summer wardrobe a basic white tank top and some trousers love love love that is it for my Nordstrom haul thank you so much Nordstrom for sponsoring at this portion of the video now we're gonna get into the makeup in the hair oh and I also am gonna leave my open-edit earrings on but I am gonna take them off while I do my makeup so let's get into it oh my god I'm super excited for this day I'm gonna slay the day it's time to do hair and I've been really proud of myself cuz I've been doing these slick back ponytails that would come out so cute and I'm gonna show you how I cheap this look at home you're gonna save so much money especially if you're somebody who loves ponytails this is right on my alley and I love love doing slick back ponytails because it's hot outside and also I just love my hair out of my face a middle part ponytails sometimes I'll do it on a freshly wet hair kind of like doing my slick back ponytails on dirty hair first I'm gonna do is part my hair into a middle part middle parts just make a more chic look I'm just gonna leave my baby ears out so then I like to section the top part my hair off I like to part my hair into sections just to really give me that sleek look and just get every strand of hair inside the ponytail I'm just gonna part another section in my hair I'll have three sections gonna take this gel I'm just gonna go in and then I'm just gonna brush up and make sure every strand of hair is up and slicked what I really been enjoying using is a wax stick to slick down my hair when I do these slick backs because it really just gets those little hairs that are stubborn and sometimes gel just doesn't do it for me this section I'm really making sure my edges are slicked back this is gonna really snatch the face and I love doing my own ponytails cuz I can really control the tightness and as these hair ties to build up your ponytail is gonna get tighter so there's no need to put the ponytail tight I'm gonna do is straight back she is sleep I'm going to slick my baby hairs down I see these two edge controls I like to mix them because my hair never stays down for some reason and when it comes to baby hairs it's all about the flick in a wrist and then if you want to make that curl just take the red tail part of it in this ponytail is a slip ponytail slip on your actual ponytail I'm gonna brush this out versus a little nappy cuz she's been getting aware honey did buy two of these just in case cuz I really didn't know the quality this is okay it's not too bad but it sheds a lot I'm gonna do is braid my hair in the back so the ponytail will be able to slip on my actual ponytail effortlessly and you want to do it tight cuz if it's not tight it can get bunched up so we're braided up now it's time to slip this baby on I'm just gonna take the comb and apply it on top of my ponytail and I am gonna secure with a bobby pin as well just so it doesn't droop down cuz with just the comb it like droops down a little bit but I wanted to hang a little higher like that it comes with the actual leave out piece to wrap around the ponytail what I'm gonna do is go around the ponytail and I am gonna add edge control on the hair just so it's secure and I don't have any little flyaways from the hair and then it lays flat hair is done so now we're gonna move into makeup and I'm gonna keep it really like today so we're gonna do like skin team a little bit concealer nothing too major but still a nice dewy glowy summertime look but I want to go in with this NARS magic hour this eye brightener a little I wanted to try this out just cuz I don't really like to wear makeup on an everyday basis but when I do I want my under eyes concealed bright and I got this in the color magic hour but I'm just gonna place it on my under eyes and I wanted to get something that was more a little bit closer to my skin tone so it's easy to wear on an everyday basis if I just want to wear this instead of just concealer oh she's bright she's bright and like her I don't know if y'all can really tell on camera but I'm just using a light hand and really see the brightness then I'm gonna go in with the coast is vitamin infused skin enhancer this gives my skin a nice glow underneath my base whether it's foundation or a skin tint I just like to go and it just gives you a nice illuminated touch to your skin look at how nice and doing that is now I'm gonna take my Chanel water finish complexion touch and I'll apply this to my hands this makes my skin look like skin I just don't want to look cakey in the summer I'm gonna go in with the hourglass and the NARS creamy concealer and this one is more my skin tone and this is like a brightening one so I just like to mix it to to make the perfect concealer combination right underneath my eye while that's drying I just went ahead and filled in my eyebrows with my eyebrow tint I'm gonna add some on my eyelids right here I like to go up just so my face is not gonna set my concealer I'm not gonna be just gonna take a little bit on my waterline but not too much literally just with a little bit more bronzer just gives us that light back and what I'm doing this I'm literally doing it with a light hand because I got that I don't know it's too cakey I just wanted to be a brunette it is looking so good so I just added some brightening powder just in the middle part right here and I'm just patting it into my face I'm just gonna set my face with the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush setting spray for highlight I'm just gonna add the glowgasm a Charlotte Tilbury in high blush and this just is pretty copper blush highlight and I like to just apply this on my fingers this is so cute oh my god this is the perfect summer look oh and me doing makeup like this on like a daily basis like this just helps me get more practice because I don't want to look cakey I just want to look like myself and I want my skin to shine through cuz doing amazing I'm gonna go in with the Charlotte Tilbury lip sheet and this is in the color foxy brown and I'm gonna go in with the YSL candy glaze I've been loving this as you can see I need to read up so I'm gonna just take my finger I have on a tank top I kind of want my skin to look glossy and hydrated and dewy and glowy I'm gonna add the time for it so they blank onto my chest area I'm actually gonna apply it on my hands cuz I really don't know my shirt this is smells so good and it gives you a nice subtle shimmer to your skin if you don't have this already girl what are you doing I'm gonna do the forbidden gangs by Killian I haven't worn this in a while I have so many perfumes y'all I need to start like bringing them out this has a peach undertone to it so I do want to I was gonna share with the time for it but a piece cuz this is my favorite summer time saying but I kind of want to you know what we're gonna do a big that makes it with the mason princess gentle flutterty gold we smell good that look good okay the look that came together so nice but yeah I just have on the same outfit that y'all seen in
