Summer into fall is starting! Despite sky high temperatures outside, shoppers are starting to pick up fall pieces to fill in their current wardrobes. The fall season tends to be a season of mixing and matching clothing from summer and fall since temperatures cool down slightly, but we can still have days which reach over one hundred degrees.

I’m loving this casual dress as a fabulous piece to wear now and well into the fall season. It can easily be paired with a denim jacket on cooler summer nights and fall days. It also looks super cute with a scarf on cooler days! Love that!

These joggers are a fabulous investment since they can be worn right now and well into the fall season. They can also be worn during the winter months with a cozy sweater! I picked up an ivory turtleneck sweater from the Nordstrom Sale which looks super cute with them! These joggers are a great investment piece which are also an easy alternative to jeans. Love!!

Golden accessories are hotter than hot right now, and these boots are new for fall! The price goes up to retail on July 31, 2022, so if you are on the fence, snap up a pair! They also come in neutral hues if you are looking for boots which are more understated. I have already done some walking in mine and the heel offers good arch support for my planter fasciitis. Love that!

Box bags are huge right now, and this one is beautiful. Stay tuned for my upcoming review!

Stores are slowly starting to stock pre-fall and fall merchandise! While temperatures are still soaring, we are starting to look at warm coats and sweaters. Yikes! I always enjoy shopping for fall, but it is so hard when it’s ninety degrees outside!

This fall, I am looking forward to golden accessories, more fun sneakers, and cozy sweaters. If you haven’t checked out the Nordstrom Sale yet, read my post which details the best of the sale!

Here are a few sale items I am loving right now:

There is still plenty of summer to go! If you don’t have a straw tote yet, this one is classic, fabulous, and functional. Love that! This golden handbag is a hot trend right now and it will carry through the fall and winter seasons. I plan on snapping it up! I love how it has two different straps.

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022 from top left: black handbag / casual belt (under $50) / hairdryer / statement earrings / yellow sweater / moto jacket / henley sweater / black boots / street sneakers / split shaft boots /

The annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Today, Nordstrom’s big spenders get to start shopping the sale early. Tomorrow, Ambassador level customers are able to shop the sale, followed by Influencer level shoppers on July 9, and the general public on July 15. Basically, if you have a Nordstrom credit card, you will fall into one of the first three categories-and chances are, you already know where you fall!

This sale can be very tempting, but if you are not careful, you will over-shop. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a combination of summer items, year-round basics, and pre-fall merchandise. You won’t find anything trendsetting or groundbreaking in the sale. This is a sale which is ideal for stocking up on basics, and necessities you might need right now, or anticipate needing in the fall season. Remember, the real fall merchandise will hit stores in early August, and throughout the month. This is pre-fall and not a reflection of incoming trends.

Before you make your shopping list for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, take an inventory of your closet. What do you have from last year that still works? What is your wardrobe lacking? What basics do you need? This sale is a great time to pick up underwear, socks, workout clothing, and basic fall needs such as neutral boots, sneakers, and classic sweaters.

There is a lot of merchandise to go through in this sale! It can be overwhelming! Plus, when you go in store, there is total chaos. Shopping online is the best way to score what you want from this sale, and also maintain sanity. Who wants to shop with the vultures? Not me! I’m shopping this sale from the comfort of my own home, in my slippers. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are my favorites from the sale; in addition to what is featured above. To shop, go to the scrollable shopping widget below the collage and click on the photo of the item you are interested in. You will be taken directly to that item.

Happy shopping and stay fabulous!
