Nordstrom's biggest sale of the year, the Anniversary Sale is here. One of the reasons this sale is so great is that it features new fall merchandise ahead of the season, instead of offering things you can't wear for another year like most sales. Above features my favorite finds from the sale, all for under $100. The sale ends August 3rd so don't wait too long to check it out!

The Saratoga Race Course begins its 146th summer of horse racing today in beautiful Saratoga, New York. If you've never been, it's a charming small town in upstate NY with a great main street full of local shops/restaurants (try Druther's or Circus Cafe) and fun night life (favorite spot is Saratoga City Tavern). During the summer, you can find everyone enjoying a day at the race track- betting on horses, hanging out with friends, and eating and drinking.

Unfortunately, this will be one of the first summers in a while that I probably won't be able to make it to the track (I even worked there one summer) If you do plan on attending, here are some outfit ideas.

The eighty-second annual Carolina Cup is being held this Saturday, March 29 in Camden, South Carolina. The event kicks off spring with a day of great horse racing, friends and drinks. The event is also a day to showcase your finest prep fashion- expect to see lots of bowties, pastels and needlepoint. 

If you're lucky enough to be attending, here are some outfit ideas to help you go all out prep for the big day.

[anchor belt]

As spring inches closer (though it certainly doesn't feel like it today), we're excited to see the reemergence of nautical style that has laid dormant this winter. After spotting the look on two of our favorite Instagram accounts (properkidprobs and VA_gentlemen), we decided the next nautical addition to our closet has be an anchor belt. 

The Leather Anchor Buckle Belt ($28.23) from ASOS adds a simple, nautical twist to the classic leather belt and can be worn with a variety of outfits.Vineyard Vines also has a similar anchor belt available, but at a higher price. No matter what option you pick, bringing a nautical touch to your spring look is definitely the right decision.

[men's spring jackets: for work, play and the rain]

As the weather changes form winter to spring, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right jacket to wear. Some days may start off cold, but become warm and sunny in the afternoon. While you don't want to wear a bulky winter coat, you need some type of light jacket. Here's three spring jacket options for work, play or the rain.

For work: The Mac Jacket from Banana Republic ($198) is great for the office- the navy color, simple design and longer length make it professional and ideal for wearing over a suit jacket. It also has a zip-out lining for when it gets warmer.

For play: The 1969 Heritage denim jacket from Gap ($79.95) is the most versatile spring jacket for a casual day. It can be worn with a t-shirt, polo, button down, hoodie- pretty much anything. The medium wash looks great with darker jeans, khakis or colorful chinos.

For the rain: The lightweight Beacon Full-Zip from Vineyard Vines ($155) will come in handy for the inevitable rain this spring. It has an adjustable hood and comes in four spring colors- green, orange, bright blue and classic navy.

St. Patrick's Day marks the unofficial start of warm weather and the welcome return of outdoor fun with friends. Join the festivities with these clothing options that will look great on March 17th and all summer long (the fun coozie may only be used on St. Patrick's Day but it's worth the $5). If you act now, you should be able to get these shipped to you in time for the weekend celebrations. Good luck and have fun!
