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.

Best Handbags Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The sale has some classic bags, as well as on trend items such as this clutch! I also love this grey hobo bag. As you know hobo handbags are huge this year, and this grey one is classic and clean. Love!

Best Beauty Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I am a huge fan of the nail polish remover, mascara, eye pencils, and hand cream pictured above. I own and love all of them!

Best Sweaters Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Aren’t these sweaters fabulous? I plan on buying the yellow sweater, the Henley, and hopefully one more from this collage. I just have to wait my turn!

Best Shoes Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Platforms and golden footwear are huge for fall. I am hoping to pick up one of these golden boots for the fall season. I also love the croc printed pair at the bottom of the collage. Love!

What are you loving from the sale? I can’t wait to hear what you buy!

Happy shopping and stay fabulous!

How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

nordstrom anniversary sale blogger picks how to shop best

Best of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 from top left: oversize stripe tee / drop earrings (under $100) / ivory hobo bag (under $200) / eye pencil set (I’m addicted to these!!) / light blue v-neck sweater (under $50) / distressed crop jeans / chain booties (under $100) / chain loafers (under $100) / nail polish remover set (I love this remover and always stock up during this sale!) / mini satchel (I own this in yellow and love it! See review here) /

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 is here! If you are a big spender, you already have access to the sale today. Every two days, another level has access-and you know who you are! If you are like me, and you don’t have an account at Nordstrom, then we are all waiting for public access which begins on July 28, 2021. I am waiting, not so patiently!

In the past, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has been marketed as a way to snag great deals on new, fall merchandise. While this sounds great on paper, are you ready to shop for fall? I know I am not ready yet. I have found the best way to shop this sale is to stock up on essentials that I need all year long.

The two most important things I like to score a deal on during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are nail polish remover and fitness clothing. Yes, you read that right, nail polish remover! This set lasts me a full year, and I use it once a week. If you have been following me for awhile, then you know I am addicted to nail polish, and constantly changing the color of my nails. This requires a nail polish remover which is gentle on my nails, and gets the job done. This one does! I am a huge fan!! If you get nothing else from this sale, buy this nail polish remover! It is the first thing to drop into my shopping cart.

I also plan to stock up on a few new pairs of workout leggings. I love this pair, and I always buy a few every year during this sale. In addition to nail polish remover and leggings, I am excited for this set of eye pencils from Laura Mercier. I have been using these pencils for close to two decades, so this set is a dream!

Casual clothing is always a good option to stock up on during this sale too. I love this oversize stripe tee, these jeans, and this lightweight sweater which is great for foggy days during the fall season.

Chain details are a huge trend right now. If you are looking for something trendy to save money on during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 then these two pairs of chain detail footwear are for you. I definitely want to get at least one pair. Which pair do you love more? The chain detail booties, or the chain detail loafers? They are both fabulous!

I don’t really need earrings, but I want them! This pair of rose gold drop earrings are definitely going in my shopping cart! I am also eyeing this classic handbag by Coach. It’s a great price! Here are a few of my favorite things from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 we can all shop online:

What are you planning to get during the sale? Be sure to bookmark this post so you can check it out when it’s your turn to shop the sale!

nordstrom anniversary sale 2020 best deals

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 wish list from top left: grey saddle bag / black and grey ruana / black and white scarf / eye pencil trio (I’ve been using these for decades! Really good deal-LOVE!) / plaid shirt (so ’90’s grunge!) / brown saddle bag (currently full price everywhere else!) / hand cream duo / black slides / light wash cropped jeans / black henley shirt / long sleeve black tee / dark wash straight jeans / gold hoops / black loafers (so very ’90’s!) /

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 is here! Today marks the first day Nordstrom cardholders can start shopping. Day one of the sale is open to Nordstrom’s biggest annual spenders, then it opens up based on spending level on August 7, 10, and 13. If you have a Nordstrom card, and you don’t know your level, log into your account to check; you might be lucky and have an early shopping date! If you are like me, and you don’t have a Nordstrom Card, we get to start shopping on August 19.

Last year a lot of my favorite items from the sale sold out within the first week. The biggest shopping days during the sale will be August 13 and 19, so if there is something you want bad-buy it the first day you are eligible to shop the sale! I will be at my laptop 9:30am on August 18 ready to shop my wish list above. These are all the items I plan to purchase. Aren’t they fabulous?

The fall 2020 season has a ton of 1970s and 1990s vibes. When you start shopping for fall, look for these elements in what you purchase. I also recommend looking for necessities when shopping this sale. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to stock up on basics, pajamas, lougewear, socks, and beauty products. You probably don’t need heavy coats and winter-like boots just yet.
