Gosh, how is it already August 25th? The year 2020 has truly felt like one long day. Let’s do something fun for today. I have some August Instagram round-up pics to share, plus I’m taking this opportunity just to get caught up with you. After all, this is our “coffee time” where I tell you what’s happening in my world. So grab a large cup of joe and let’s get started.

Life Lately
Instagram Round-Ups are my favorite because I get to show you some outfit and product pics that actually never get published anywhere. Sometimes they will get uploaded into the LikeToKnow.it app (follow @tanyafosterblog). This is a great option if you shop from your phone. LTK is the affiliate link app I use to link everything I am talking about in an Instagram picture. It makes shopping with me much easier. Plus, they have just enabled it where I can add video content to the app. It’s a great way for you to see how the clothes move.
Tuesday’s with Tanya on IGTV: I got so much great feedback from Tuesday’s with Tanya that I am making it a weekly thing. What questions do you want me to answer? Please leave a comment on the blog today and/or follow me and message me on Instagram to let me know. I also frequently post make-up and skincare tutorials on IGTV so definitely check it out! Sometimes these are IG LIVE videos and you can interact with me. It just depends on how the day is going. For example, Laura and I went Live last night to reveal where we were. Did you catch it? You can CLICK HERE to watch.
Surprise Gift Boxes! I picked FIVE winners last week….and guess what? I still have TWO more to give away! If you are new to this site – listen up. I reward my SUBSCRIBERS! I appreciate that you are subscribe to my blog and take the time to read the daily blog post. Not to say that I don’t appreciate you following me on social media – I DO! Sometimes, I give a little extra perk on Instagram. Congratulations to Kris B., Kayley F., Cindy C., Anna P., and Kathleen A.! What did they do to WIN? They answered the questions to my previous blog posts. Be sure to read this blog post all the way to the bottom – you may find an entry opportunity 🙂

August Instagram Round-Up:
Looks
Let’s start out with some of my favorite Nordstrom finds. Some of these items are even from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so you get an extra discount. I am all about their amazing denim selection this year. I especially love these Paige denim jeans. They pair so well with this graphic tee. The tee is currently sold out, but keep checking in because the sale restocks often. You can also get the white version of the tee here. Below I have linked my favorite graphic tees like this dog mom graphic tee and this “cool mom” graphic tee. Another great pick from the sale are BOOTS. I love these Vince Camuto leather boots. They come in the tan color above and black and are perfect for transitioning from summer to fall.

This is one of my favorite August Instagram Round-Up looks because it’s the perfect late summer look. You may remember that I discussed four ways to style a white button down blouse, so here is a fifth option. I love to pair a white blouse with these Veronica Beard Kate skinny jeans. They are my absolute favorite and they’re on SALE now for only $40! Check out how to tie your Hermes scarf so you can tie it like a belt as I did above. It really completes the look.

I am in love with these M. Gemi slide sandals. They come in five colors and pair perfectly with this Sail to Sable blouse. It is another great late summer look. My white girlfriend denim shorts are sold out, but I linked other styles that you will love below. I am carrying an Officina del Poggio bag that is also sold out, but below I linked my favorite bags by them. Learn more about the company from yesterday’s blog post here.

Accessories
Y’all know that I just love Allie + Bess bracelets! They are so great to mix and match. I love to get creative and put together the perfect bracelet for my unique style. They also make great gifts! Be sure and read tomorrow’s blog post that features this brand. Get 15% off with code TANYA15.

Some exciting news! My dear friend Alicia Wood, from Alicia Wood Lifestyle, has a new collaboration with Hazen & Co. The Alicia Wood Lifestyle Collection has so many stunning pieces like this bracelet stack. Be sure and shop the whole collection.
____
Products
I can’t do an Instagram Round-Up without beauty products! You may remember that I wrote about Soon Skincare products and their amazing face masks here. My latest obsession are these shea butter hand masks. My hands have felt so dry, especially with all of the hand sanitizer use, so these masks are your quick fix. Speaking of hand sanitizer, Soon Skincare hand sanitizer will not dry out your hands like the other brands. It moisturizes, while also killing 99% of germs! Also, it smells amazing. Pair these two products together for the softest hands ever.
____
My latest Keto obsession?? Zoodles! I love to make my own zoodles using this electric spiralizer. It is so easy and tasty. Watch how I make zoodles on my Instagram saved stories.

Hope you have a great rest of your week! Just like my nightly Instagram stories, I will leave you with a little bit of humor for the day… 🙂
xoxo – Tanya

My daughter and I are both heartbroken about Ralph too. So sorry Tanya. Love your blog, even when I don’t take the time to comment. Your my fav!
I just wanted to let you know that I’m sorry to hear about Ralph. It’s so hard when our pets are sick. They are family members. On a brighter note, I love your closet. That leopard carpet is outstanding!
Loved your makeup tutorial! So glad I found your IG and blog – love your style and it is so helpful to see what works on someone else who is the same age!
Wow! This post is chock full of great information, so thank you. Really enjoyed your makeup tutorial-it’s always a good idea to freshen up your routine and try new items. Thinking of you re Ralph–RIP for sure. How about info on suggestions for investment pieces (shoes, bags, dresses, jackets) and closet organization?
I need a tutorial on walking shorts/longer shorts….what looks good on which body types! I’m afraid the days of short shorts are long gone for me! HA!
Sooo sad to hear about Ralph…obviously there was nothing you could do except keep him from suffering…Very glad to see that Ruby Lou is adapting!!!
So sorry about Ralph, losing a pet is so painful! Thank you for all you share, it helps us all!❤️❤️
Enjoyed the makeup video. Thanks for sharing shades and colors of your cosmetics.
I am so sorry about Ralph, Tanya. That is heartbreaking. 🙁
xo Lucy B.
I am so sorry to hear about Ralph. I know you cared for him with all your heart! The photos of your two kitties are really, really cute! I enjoy your blog and it’s obvious that you put so much of your energy into it. Thank you Tanya for all the great ideas and inspiration! I am at “that age” where I am never sure what I should be wearing – Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
First of all, my condolences to you for losing Ralph. I loved watching the two kitties, but my heart will now be with Ruby (and of course, Sparky and Max). I truly enjoyed your makeup video and all the good ideas. You keep me inspired and outfitted too. You are one of a few bloggers I watch and my fav. I’m glad your business is growing and you’re getting an assistant. I know this will be a big help to you. Thanks for all the context. I really appreciate it.
I’m so sorry about your sweet Ralph. Our cat died a few years ago of the same thing and it was devastating for our whole family. Prayers to you
Just watched your spiralizer demo on Insta and ordered it! Although I don’t have Pete’s famous recipe, I always have Marcella Hazan’s in my freezer, so I’ll be ready to go. Thanks for the tip, Tanya!
P.S. I also love the button down white with jeans look — stunningly casual, yet glam!
This is a really interesting blog
