The 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! You will see people refer to it on social media as the NSALE, but you already knew that. I love this sale because there are so many basics, beauty products, and casual pieces we can all use to update our closets as we transition from summer into fall.

The sale is a celebration of Nordstrom’s anniversary, but it also rewards customers with discounted pricing on new, pre-fall and fall merchandise. So, if you like something, snap it up while it is on sale!

If you have a Nordstrom credit card, lucky you! This means you can start shopping when your spending tier opens up. Today is the start of the sale for Nordstrom’s biggest spenders. Then each day this week the sale opens to another spending tier until all card holders can start shopping this Thursday, July 11. The sale opens to the general public on Monday, July 15, 2024. The last day of the sale will be Sunday, August 4, 2024.

Items at the sale do not restock unless someone returns something. This means you should snap up what you want, when you see it. Save your receipt so if you change your mind, you can return it. I highly recommend purchasing online and picking up in store. This saves time, and you can return something right away if it isn’t right. Seriously, trying to shop this sale in person is a nightmare. The fitting rooms are full, and the vulture shoppers come out from who knows where. You feel like you are trying to shop in the twilight zone. The most relaxing way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is online.

So, without further ado, here are my favorite pieces from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024:

Best Sweaters:

Best Footwear:

Best Coats and Jackets:

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is good this year. I feel like there are a lot of great choices for basics, beauty products, sweaters, and shoes. I am excited and cannot wait until Thursday when I can finally shop! Look for timeless styles and try to stay away from trendy items. The colors to seek out for the fall 2024 season include shades of red, shades of green: especially greens in the olive family, darker blues, neutrals, black, grey, and browns.

You can use my list to help you find the best pieces from the sale. If you live near a Nordstrom you can shop online and pick up in store. If you want to avoid the crazy, vulture-like crowds altogether, have everything shipped home.

Happy shopping and enjoy your taste of fall!

Thanks for stopping by,

Designer or Deal: small boxy tote

Designer or Deal: small boxy tote: designer tote / affordable tote /

There are so many versions of a small boxy tote on the market right now, it can be a little overwhelming. While considered a cult classic style, it seems to be moving into the forefront of handbag fashion right now, and everyone is grabbing one!

Prices can range from common designer price points in the $1000-$3000 range as well as upwards of five figures. Thankfully there is a mid-market handbag brand known for good quality at affordable prices. Love that!

The small boxy tote shown above near the “deal” arrow, is actually labelled “medium” by the handbag brand. It is available in a mini, small, medium, and large. All of the available sizes are right on trend, and can be considered classic as well, so you can put them in the investment category. I also love that these totes are anonymous, chic, and offer strong leather and finishes for under $500.

Of course, the designer version of the small boxy tote is luxurious and also offers excellent craftsmanship, so it is up to you which direction you would like to go.

Boxy totes can be worn in neutral or black, as well as fun colors for the summer season. Right now, we are seeing vivid colors and pastels in addition to timeless neutrals. Which color will you choose? The deal version above is at the top of my wish list right now!

Thanks for stopping by!
