The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! I love this annual sale because you get a sneak peek into fall, and if you love something, you can buy before it returns to full price. Love that!

If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know the drill. Depending on your spending level, you can start shopping today, tomorrow, or Thursday. If you don’t have a card, the sale opens to the public on July 12. The sale ends on August 3, 2025, so if you like something, snap it up before it sells out or ends up back at regular price.

Every year, I recommend investing in basics from the sale. This is a great time to snap up underwear, workout clothing, jeans, and classic items. This year, Nordstrom has a great selection of boots, sweaters, and jewelry. So, I recommend investing in a few seasonal items from those categories too. I plan to get at least one of pair of boots, possibly two. I also want a short sleeve sweater as well as a long sleeve sweater. Jewelry is starting to make a comeback, so a little bling sounds good too!

So, without further ado, here are my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 to help kick off your fall 2025 wardrobe!

Best Sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

This fall 2025 season, sweaters are getting chic! Look for Chanel inspired styles, classic v-necks, sweaters inspired by golf and tennis, neutral hues, interesting knits, short sleeves, shades of dark red and olive, and the return of the cardigan sweater. Love this! I can’t wait to invest in fall sweaters. They are my favorite way to stay cozy in the fall season! Love!

These are my favorite sweaters from the Nordstrom sale, which sweaters are your favorites?

Best of Beauty Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

Beauty products never go on sale, except during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, also known as the NSALE. There are a few fabulous deals from the sale worth adding to cart. Also, if you are looking for a new hairdryer, I own this hairdryer and love it, and the price is right during the sale! Love!

I also noticed my favorite neck cream and eye pencils are on sale. This is amazing! I plan to stock up!

Best Boots and Shoes Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025

The best part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the footwear! The shoes and boots are at great prices, and perfect for fall! Western style boots and motorcycle boots are trending as we head into the fall season. If you don’t already have them in your wardrobe, this is a great time to invest in at least one pair, if not more! All three boots featured above are in my cart! Love!

We are also seeing a continuation of Mary Janes, slingback shoes, kitten heels, and lots of suede for the fall 2025 season. The pointed toe is asserting dominance over other toe styles too. So, keep these styles in mind as you shop the sale. Here are my favorites from the footwear section of the sale!

Well, that’s it! I don’t go into the store because there are too many crazy people. The best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025 is online. It is calm, relaxing, and you can see everything in your cart before checking out. Online shopping is easier, more peaceful, and definitely more efficient! Love it!

So, there you have it! The best from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2025. Happy shopping, and be sure to reference this post for ideas and the best picks from the sale!

T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer review

pictured: T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer /

It is always fun to get a new hair dryer! My old hair dryer has been chugging away for close to ten years now, and my daughter plans to take it with her to college. So, this means mama needs a new hair dryer!

I have heard great things about T3’s products, so I decided to give them a whirl. The T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer offers 5 heat settings, three speed settings, and advertises ten million negative ions per second on your hair. It automatically adjusts and optimizes itself to dry your hair perfectly. Sounds great!

The T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer comes with four attachments. I typically only use the “Drying Concentrator.” That being said, it is nice to have the other attachments just in case I need them.

How easy is the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer to use? Well, I would say it is really easy. The attachments offer regular drying-which is the one I use the most, the “Styling Concentrator” gives your hair more volume as you dry it, the “Diffuser” is great for wavy or curly hair, as well as textured styles, and lastly, the “Smoothing Comb” is great for use with a paddle brush to create smooth, straight styles.

The controls on the handle are easy to use to adjust temperature and speed. All in all, I found the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer does the job it needs to do well. It dries my hair quickly and doesn’t over-dry it-like cheaper hair dryer’s will do, and the ones we find in hotel rooms will do! Yikes!

My favorite hair care products:

My hair is staying healthy and looks fresh after drying with the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer. I have been using it for roughly ten days now. Love it! So, if you are in the market for a new dryer, this one works well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall 2021 hair care

fall hair care 2021

Fall 2021 hair care from left: shampoo / conditioner / oil treatment / hair dryer / shampoo in bottom photo /

My fall 2021 hair care routine is fairly simple. My hair is dry from the summer, so I am looking for moisture and anti-breakage help. This shampoo and conditioner pair are fortified to help stop breakage and strengthen my hair. The shampoo pictured below, is also one that I use. It is perfect for my dry hair and helps add moisture. Love that!

Since my hair is dry from being out in the sun, wind, and swimming pool, my old stand-by of Moroccan Oil is ideal for adding moisture back into my hair; as well as controlling it! This oil smooths down my unruly hair.

One thing people don’t often think about is their hair dryer. Not all hair dryers are equal! You might be looking at my choice of the Dyson hair dryer and thinking it is overpriced-but I can assure you, it is worth every penny. This hair dryer does not dry out hair. It does not damage hair. It is soft and gentle, leaving my hair healthy. Even when I travel, I take it with me! I no longer use the hotel hair dryer. I can’t go back. This hair dryer is the holy grail of hair care, and I highly recommend investing in one!
