Sharing my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing morning so far! The girls and I are off on some adventures, and I’m going to get in a Sculpt Society workout this afternoon.
For today, let’s chat about the Nordstrom Sale! It’s day 3 of retail extravaganza so thank you for your patience and for putting your shopping pants on with me!
I’ve been covering the Nordstrom sale here on the blog for years, and some years have been amazing and others have been totally blah. I wasn’t sure if I’d post about it this year, but when I perused the catalogue after we returned from our Spain trip, I was actually excited about the sale. This is always a great opportunity to get new fall items at a discounted price, and I’ll use this sale to stock up on new fun finds and some essentials.
*I’ll update this post as new items are released and as items sell out, so pin it or save it to reference later!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale top picks
Here’s when everyone has access to the sale:
Icons: July 8-11
Ambassadors: July 9-11
Influencers: July 10-11
Public access: July 12- August 3
How to shop the Nordstrom sale:
My biggest tip for shopping the sale is to build your wish list early. Buy things you see that are in stock that you want right away; many of the best products sell out quickly! I’m an Influencer (for being a card holder – it’s the only retail card I have). I’ll have items in my wish list ready to go, so when I have access to the sale, I can quickly add to cart.
What I purchase each year during the sale: any outwear for the upcoming season, back-to-school shoes, bras, underwear, jeans, holiday gifts (like jewelry for stocking stuffers), and pajamas.
Don’t buy items that are too *wintery.* They often will go on sale again in the fall. I bought some Mother jeans last year and by the time it was cold enough to wear them, they were CHEAPER on the Nordstrom site than what I’d paid. Rude. Don’t be like me. 😉
The sale can be super overwhelming, so I went through EVERYTHING to find the best of the best stuff to link in this post. (So often I have pinch me moments when it comes to my unusual but amazing job, and getting to shop and pick out the best stuff is always one of those moments. Shopping is one of my very favorite things!)
Many of the items below are things I already own and love, and also some new finds that I’ll be adding to our cart! I also tried to link to things that are actually a good deal. Like, these 8k earrings are gorgeous but not something I’d jump to buy during the sale lol. (But if that’s you, live your best life!!)
Just a friendly reminder that these are affiliate links that don’t impact purchase price, but enable me to earn a very small kickback that I use to keep this lil blog going. I know a lot of creators share Nordstrom sale links, so thank you thank you to those of you who choose to shop through mine.
Here are my top picks for this year!
For her:
LOVE this set for travel. Here’s the pullover and the pants.
Ordering some of these wide-leg fleexe pants for Liv
I have this set and it’s a dreaaaaam. But, if you can wait – order it on Black Friday from the Spanx website.
A perfect cute-casual dress. Toss on sneakers and tie a sweater over your shoulders and done.
Great price for a classic trench coat.
OF COURSE I’m buying this dress from my favorite brand.
This robe would make a perfect gift for your mom, grandma, or a postpartum mama friend.
I love anything Rails and this sweater is so pretty for fall.
This is another one of my all-time favorite brands (the quality and fit are perfection) and this price is amazing for a classic that you can wear for years.
This gorgeous belted shirtdress.
Cute and comfy shorts pajamas.
A polo you can dress up with a cute skirt or dress down with jeans.
The best socks – this is when we stock up.
I also stock up on hanky panky.
The best bra in all the land. It’s pretty much the only real bra I wear, and I use this sale to stock up on different colors.
Shoes, handbags, and jewelry:
Ordering these classic ballet flats.
So glad Western boots are still ‘in” because I loooove these.
These gorgeous drop huggie earrings.
I can’t believe this is $23. (Perfect stocking stuffer!)
Thinking of ordering this as a Christmas gift for Liv.
The best *everything* heeled sandals.
For him:
Amazing price for this Zella polo.
The Pilot has these and wears them all the time.
Accessories:
A high-quality work or travel tote.
Obsessed with these wing drop earrings.
I’ve been wanting to try a silk bonnet for sleep.
For the kids:
Zella for kids is amazing quality. Love this hoodie.
The best water resistant Uggs! I get a pair for the girls every year… but now they’re both in women’s sizes 😉
If you have a little one who can still wear Mini Melissa, please live it up! It goes way too quickly.
Random + beauty:
Everything is telling me I need this.
These make removing makeup so much easier.
So tell me, friends: are you shopping the sale? What are you adding to your wish list?
xoxo
