Tomorrow, July 28th, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to EVERYone. As always, you can save a lot of money each year by shopping for high-quality fashion brands for less during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
This year is no different; with Fall around the corner, now is a great time to buy fun pieces to layer up or style once the temps cool down a little bit.
I have always share looks that I shop and wear year over year. From my favorite cutouts to date night dresses, this year, the sales look great! As always, scoop these pieces up quickly as they tend to sell out quickly!
Here are some affordable pieces that you will be glad you shopped for less, trust me!
A happy consequence of these past few years has been the time to step away from all of life’s distractions and really focus on ME. I spent many hours reflecting on personal and professional goals. About 5 years ago, I stepped away from my full-time job as a Development Specialist for a non-profit agency to pursue the blog. Giving Chicks And Salsa all my attention really allowed me the freedom to challenge myself in a way I had never done before. I had to be specific about my goals and direction. Without discipline, I knew I would end up disappointed. So on this journey, there were some pivotal lessons that I have learned that I wanted to share.
Don’t Fear Tomorrow
I used to fear the future chronically. I took a risk, and the destination was unknown. Learning lesson #2 is what made me look forward to tomorrow rather than fear it.
Ride The Wave
From my first post to my first collaboration to the start of Digital Chicks Media, any time an opportunity was presented, I said yes and turned wherever the tide took me. This ended up being a rewarding and winning strategy.
Own Your Story
I had heard about owning your story when I attended the Style Collective conference early on. In paving my own path, I got to know my story better than ever. I had become my own boss and made every little and big decision along the way. Being intimately involved with my destiny made me own that story in a way I never had before.

It may sound cheesy, but manifestation works, and it took a global pandemic to make me step back to see what I wanted from my life clearly. This post would not be complete without a shout-out to my favorite and life-changing book, The Celestine Prophecy. This book is more than a novel; it is a blueprint on how to pay attention to the signals in the universe. The book so accurately describes nature’s way of putting us on a path that once you see the signs, there is so much that the universe reveals to you.
If you made this far into my post, I hope you found some of this in some way motivational or inspiring. Thank you for being part of my tribe.
There are still some really great pieces in stock during the final days of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you missed my previous picks, scoop these up before they are gone!
As the cooler temps creep in you will thank me for these fun Fall staples and statement pieces. Take a chance on a fun plaid or printed blazer this year, you won’t regret it.
I love gift-giving. You read that right, I am one of those people who likes to find the perfect gift for someone and often sends a gift just because. We have all been in a situation where we needed a gift that would be nice, thoughtful, and affordable?
When I discovered Masala My Life, my heart smiled. It’s the perfect gift box for a hostess, get well soon or those fun women in your life. There are so many ways to share the magic that comes in these boxes that they truly are the perfect gift.
To me, the perfect gift is around $40-$50. These gift boxes are not imposing on someone’s style or aesthetic and are thoughtful and fun. For example, I can see myself gifting the LUXE Mango Gift Set to my Mother in Law or an Aunt. I could also share it with someone whose house I may be going to for the first time. It has a cute kitchen towel, candle, a bar of soap, and a cute pair of earrings. It just feels unique and thoughtful and that is what I love about it.
Founder Anu Mannar didn’t stop at putting together cute boxes, she thoughtfully put together each piece of these curated boxes that make you feel good about the purchase. She uses recycled saris in her jewelry, creates everything in the USA, has environmentally friendly packaging, works with local artisans to create unique pieces, AND donates a portion of her proceeds to the South Asian American Digital Archive. It is the whole concept of things coming together to help the community at large which makes is box truly special.
As a South Asian female entrepreneur, I commend Masala My Life for representing the best of our community.
Next time you need a thoughtful gift that will make someone feel great while supporting local artisans, and giving back to the community, consider shopping from Masala My Life!
Your Chick,
Rina
