Hi friends! Now that I am back from vacation, it is time to talk about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! What is so special about this sale you ask? Well, unlike most sales where older merchandise is discounted, the Nordstrom Anniversay Sale allows you to shop BRAND NEW items at a significantly discounted price. Basically, it includes all your fall wardrobe stapes- denim, moto jackets, coats, boots, handbags, and sweaters + beauty and home decor! As soon as the sale ends, the prices go up and the items will not be on sale again until the winter season has ended. It’s a great time to stock up on fall/winter items for less and, if you are really ahead of the game, you could also get most of your Christmas shopping completed!
SALE DATES: Early Access July 12 – 19 | Public Access July 20 – August 5
What Do You Need to Know?
– Get Early Access by opening a Nordstrom card- okay, I am not a fan of opening credit cards however, I did open one a few weeks ago just for this sale. I actually do not plan on putting any money on the card (will still pay with my debit card), but will strictly use it to have early access to the sale. There is no annual fee and if you do get the card, you receive many benefits!
– Items sell out FAST– this is no joke people! Last year during the sale, I would have a few things in my cart and when I would go to pay, I would be notified that some items were suddenly out of stock. People are CRAY! I am still mad about a striped Topshop cardigan that I wanted haha! I did not have early access last year and wasn’t blogging, so this year I am coming prepared! I have early access and will be going to my local Nordstrom to try on some of my favorites for you all! I will also be posting a lot of sale content here, so keep checking both my Instagram stories and blog!
– Nordstrom offers free returns and they are so nice! Say you purchase something but suddenly have buyers remorse and change your mind. No big deal! Returns are super easy and free!
– I recommend creating a list of the things you are looking for- denim? good pair of OTK boots for fall? designer handbag? By focusing in on a few items, you won’t get overwhelmed by everything and will be able to quickly purchase what you want.
– Check out the Nordstrom Anniversay catalog here. I have already gone through and narrowed down my favorites!
What Should I Be Looking For?
– Fall/Winter Staples: My favorites from this sale include denim, cardigans, sweaters, moto jackets, and coats. Most of these items are so heavily discounted that’s its nearly impossible to pass up! I also plan on looking at the menswear for Scott (never too early for a little Christmas shopping haha!) and the athletic gear.
– Shoes: Boots, boots, boots, boots, boots- need I say more?! This is one of my favorite parts of the sale, as you can get some amazing boots for such good prices! I have my eyes on OTK boots, but I also love a good ankle boot. Tennis shoes and big brands (Ugg, Hunter) are also deeply discounted.
– Beauty Products: Looking through the catalog, I saw so many beauty sets that I wanted! Fancy brands (Charlotte Tillbury, Bobbi Brown, NARS) have deeply discounted products, so it is the perfect time to stock up!
Are You Ready For It? (said in my best TSwift voice)
I will be sharing a ton of content throughout the sale, so continue to check back here for my favorites! I will also be doing a few try-on sessions for you to show you my favorite picks! If you have any questions or need anything from me, please don’t hestitate to reach out! I want to be your Nordstrom Sale point of contact and will do my best to update you all as much as possible (including when items come back in stock!). I will do my best to not overwhelm you (I know hearing about the sale can be annoying- I have been in your shoes and followed so many bloggers over the last few years and literally would start rolling my eyes about this sale!). I will try my best to keep you informed of the best deals without being too cray cray about this sale. As always, please reach out if you need anything and thank you for reading and sharing! -A
