Hungry for fashion? Uh, yeah, you could say that.

Those of us living in downtown Salt Lake City have been starved for style for some time now. But not for long. Today, the new City Creek Center opens, including the swanky new Nordstrom.

I got a sneak peek inside the City Creek Nordys during Tuesday night’s Grand Opening Gala, and the new digs did not disappoint. Highlights of the store include Gucci accessories and apparel boutiques, Balenciaga handbags (aka my new best friends–I will be visiting them on a weekly basis), and designer collections by Alexander Wang, Alice + Olivia (you already now I’m a fan), Burberry Prosum, Jason Wu, and more.

At last! Downtown shopping that’s actually downtown. Welcome back to the neighborhood, Nordys–you’ve been missed.

p.s. Love Ruben Toledo’s illustrations for Nordstrom (like the one above).

Since spotting this feature on neon holiday decor in Anthology Magazine’s winter gift guide, I’ve been dreaming of a bright Christmas. (Side note: I highly recommend reading AND subscribing to Anthology’s print version–hooray for print!)

May your holiday season be merry and bright!

When I was a little girl, my mom and dad made me wear these huge, heavy, brown Sorel boots when it snowed, and I hated them. I thought they were big and ugly and made my feet look like clown feet. But my how times change…

I was checking out the latest Sorel collection on Nordstrom.com the other night, and found myself swooning over their new designs….

Sorel ‘Joan of Arctic’ Boot in Suede (my fave—love the red stitching and red sole)

Sorel ‘Tivoli High’ Waterproof Boot in Cordovan (red plaid boots—need I say more?)

Sorel ‘Tivoli’ Waterproof Boot in Black/Pink (cozy fleece lining + classic black and white houndstooth, and cute pink laces to boot!)

Sorel ‘Joan of Arctic’ Boot in Shale (gorgeous gray and chic faux fur)

The best part? Sorels are stylish and functional—perfect for strutting your stuff in a snowstorm. Mom and dad would be proud.
