It’s been a while since I’ve talked about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale…and now it’s almost here! I’ve spent a lot of my blogging career covering the Nordstrom sale (anyone remember those days?!). I’m back again to help be your source on navigating the sale, and how to get the best of buy now wear now plus the best of the fall season. Think: highly edited, on trend, and above all… STYLISH.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here. If you’re shopping…there are some tips you need to know.
Right now, a lot of people are talking about the sale. It’s been this way for years!! I wanted to share some tips for you to use while shopping the event, and also some styling tips as we look ahead to fall. The sale is always such a big deal because Nordstrom offers brand new fall pieces at a discount before the first signs of fall even start! The kicker? It gets marked back up to full price in August. My biggest tip is this:
Focus on items you just know will sell out.
If there is something you know you want, get it. Or it might not be there the next time you’re browsing. A great feature Nordstrom gives us is the ability to browse and build a wishlist. This way, when the sale goes live you can just add it to your wishlist and check out! It’s that easy!!
Everyone loves denim as much as I do, right? One thing I think Nordstrom does exceptionally well is their denim selection. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was actually the reason why I bought a pair of premium denim with my own money (10 years ago!!) — they were a pair of black ripped skinny jeans from Paige and I loved them so so so much. Now, the shapes have gotten looser and more casual, these caught my eye. Plus, their best selling fit — the Hustler — is here!! Longer lengths are still trending. I’m loving these and these. Don’t forget about denim jackets! Since I have so many pairs of jeans, I’m looking for a funky pair. This pair from Rag & Bone look awesome — and now they’re on my wishlist.
Spoil yourself!! I think shopping for little luxe self care moments is very important. Why not take advantage of a great sale!?
When Le Labo is on sale you buy it.
I’m already halfway through this Salt & Stone body wash, so love that this duo pack is on sale!!
You know how much I love U Beauty (full review here)- I couldn’t recommend this little set to start your obsession more.
The Oribe dry texturizing spray is one of the most luxurious hair care product I owned. It’s expensive!! I can’t wait to stock up on this during the sale. If you’re looking for a less expensive texture spray, I typically use this one ($15).
These candles always seem to sell out, so I recommend getting the duo — one for you and one for a gift (or for later)!!
Because we all deserve to be comfy cozy.
The trends are still trending. Barn jackets haven’t gone anywhere. In fact, they’re still going to be everywhere. I am DYING over this Levi’s barn jacket. The cognac is on my wishlist!! This Veronica Beard one will absolutely sell out. We’re also still seeing a lot of Western inspired pieces like this studded bag, this card holder, and this fringe jacket. Oh and moto boots are still in too!
Coats and jackets are always top of mind for shoppers. This Ralph Lauren jacket looks absolutely perfect for transitional weather. The color is so luxe!! This Reiss coat is bound to be a favorite. I do love me a looooong wool coat.
As soon as you can shop, do it. It’s much more efficient, plus you’re already doing the work to add things to your wish list so you know what you want!!
Stock up on basics. Everyone says this, but I really do believe it. Get socks, underwear, denim, coats, and skincare/makeup now!
If something is sold out… Add the item to your cart anyway (even if it’s in another size). This will allow you to keep the item top of mind and easy to check on every couple of days. I always find that inventory is all over the place during huge sales, so there’s a good chance your size will pop back up one day.
