REVIEW - Steve Madden Claara Block Heel Sandal

Navy and camel colored option

I'm reviewing the STEVE MADDEN CLAARA BLOCK HEEL SANDAL that FINALLY arrived in the mail. I originally ordered these during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, however my order ended up being canceled. Luckily these were restocked in the last week and I immediately purchases it again.  I fell in love with these online, however I was a little skeptical about the 4.5 inch heel. I wanted something I comfortable that I could walk around in and thought these would be a little too tall. When these arrive, boy was I surprised. They are by far the comfiest pair of 4+ inch heels I own. 

Glasses - GENTLE MONSTER

Initial Necklace - KATE SPADE

Bangle - SIMILAR

I want to remind everyone to shop the sale through EBATES where you can earn 6% cash back on Nordstrom purchase and up to 20% on other retail sites, including Fandango for movie tickets!
Anyways, on to some reviews:
Lush V-Neck Crepe Blouse - I purchased an XS in the color grape leaf. I absolutely love the color, it's a gorgeous bright olive green shade (picture appears darker) that would be great for both summer and fall. I love the hem line on this. The longer front and back make this wearable with leggings, but it can also be tucked into trousers for a work appropriate look. There are still several color lefts in different sizes.

Given how low the neck line is, you definitely need a tank underneath if wearing this to the office

This Topshop Strip Bardot Dress is not part of the anniversary sale, but with a price point of $45, it's a pretty reasonable deal. It is extremely comfortable and embraces the off the shoulder trend but  a has little added support with the straps. It runs true to size - I'm wearing a US size 0. The length is also great on me, it comes up about 2 inches above my knees, but I would stay away from this dress is you're over 5'6 (for reference I'm around 5'4)

I also purchased this HALOGEN poncho. This is currently sold out, but different sizes keep popping back up, so keep an eye out. BAREFOOT DREAMS has a very similar one that is much softer to the touch. 

I am wearing a regular XS/S. These come in petite sizing as well. It's a little long on me, but can work tucked in.

And lastly I can't emphasize these Cole Haan Marina Over the Knee boots  ($329 from $500)I purchase these last year during the sale and it quickly became one of my favorite pair of boots. Full review HERE. Given how many times I've worn these and how well they fit,  I would definitely purchase this at full price.
