Yes loves, the day has come…Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale! And it’s a good one! If you’re a fan of Nordstrom, then you probably already know about this shopping event extravaganza, but if you’re new to the program…let me tell you a few things about it!
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is a huge sale on all of their new releases for Fall and Winter. What does that mean for you? Huge discounts on all your cold weather items. That means this is your opportunity to stock up on all the cutest sweaters, boots, jeans, coats, scarves, bags, hats, and accessories your little heart desires (and can fit in your closet!).
But, it doesn’t just stop at fashion (for women, men and children). The sale also includes skincare, makeup, home decor…and basically anything that Nordstrom carries. And the discounts on these items start at 33% off and go up from there….cha ching!!!
Ok, so before we dive head first into the best sale items to snag at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, I need to give you the 411 on sale dates. If you’re a Nordstrom card member you get early access which means you get to shop the sale before the general public. Early access for Icon Nordy Members begins today! Ambassador’s get to shop starting August 7th, Influencer’s August 10th and all Nordy club members have access August 13th. If you’re not a Nordy Clubmember (cardholder) yet, no worry, you’ll be able to start shopping the sale on August 19th. The sale lasts two weeks and they are always releasing new items throughout that time frame.
(If you’re interested in applying for a Nordstrom card click here).
But, I must warn you, these sale items go SUPER fast so if you see something you like, don’t hesitate, buy it! Because, Nordstrom does not guarantee a restock of any item (even after the sale..boooo!). And we all know, what haunts us are the items we DIDN’T buy….don’t live with regret, folks!
And remember, Nordstrom always offers free shipping!
Ok, I think I covered what you need to know about the sale and Nordstrom, so let’s get to the good stuff….what to buy!!!!
What To Buy At Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
Outerwear
Being that this is their huge fall and winter sale, it goes without saying that stocking up on winter essentials like coats and jackets are a must! And with these steep discounts, you may want to get at least one of each. What’s trending: wide lapels.
Sweaters & Cardigans
In line with the jackets and coats are sweaters and cardigans! And let me tell you, there are tons on sale! From your basic pullovers to cashmere dreams. What’s trending: oversized knits, bold & rich colors, animal prints, and textured knits.
Jeans
Ok who can’t use another great pair of jeans? Even better when they’re marked down 30%+ off! What’s trending: Mom jeans are still going hard, but you can never go wrong with a great distressed pair of skinny jeans too. Not into distressing, go with a classic skinny jean for a clean and polished look. Pair any of these with your favorite booties, a wide brim fedora/Panama hat and a chunky knit sweater for a great fall or winter look!
Tops & Skirts
So many good finds, it’s going to be hard to buy just one. Faux leather skirts will still be a wardrobe staple as will jean skirts. For those of us still going into the office, there are several great pencil skirts to scoop up on major sale! Easily mix and match these tops (and bodysuits) with these bottoms for work or play!
Dresses
Pretty patterns, soft material, bodycon to flowy. You can’t go wrong with any of these gorgeous options. Lots of great fall colors to work with and some must have neutrals as well. They also have some great jumpsuits on major sale too that you won’t want to forget to snag!
Pajamas
I’m fairly certain I don’t need to explain this one…it’s the comfiest loungewear and pjs, ever! And how about those fuzzy Birkenstock inspired sandals? LOVE!
Bags & Shawls
Lots of warm tones for this coming season in both bags and shawls. What’s Trending: small bags are still trending. Opt for colors you know you’ll be able to easily add to your winter wardrobe and wear all season long (staples would be creams, browns, blacks). Same goes for these soft and flowy shawls that are a great layering piece for when the weather just begins to change. Easy to wear over a long sleeve top.
Hats, Sunglasses, & Belts
There are a bunch of reallllly cute sunnies on sale right now that you won’t want to miss! Lots of designer brands and lots of great styles. These hats are easy to wear with just about anything, and these belts would be a great addition to those fall and winter dresses.
Alllll The Shoes
I’m in love with this year’s selection of booties and mules! I’ve just recently jumped on board with the sneakers (being only 5’2″ it’s never been appealing to me, but they’re so comfy and cute, how could I not?) and I found a few great options. I know these shoes are going to sell out fast so get them while they still have your size! “Boots for fall….groundbreaking” lol
Skincare
Probably the best savings I’ve seen on these skincare lines! If there was ever a time to stock up on your favorite brands, it would be now! And skincare tools are on sale too!
Beauty
Lots of savings to be had on your favorite beauty brands! From tools to eyelash serum and everything in between! I’m snagging me some of these highly rated silk pillows that are supposed to be amazing for your skin and hair (I can always use help in the de-frizz department, you know). And this Anastasia eyebrow set is by far my favorite ever! Also, if you’ve been eyeing the T3 curling iron, now’s the time to scoop it up on major sale!
The Home
If you’ve been eyeing Barefoot Dream’s infamous Cozy Chic Throw Blanket then, now is the time to scoop it up because it’s on major sale! And how chic are these marble and gold Charcuterie wear (is that a word? Eh, I’m coining it now)! I’m obsessed with these fun geometric shaped stemless wine glasses and I need this white textured bathroom set in my master bathroom like ASAP!
