Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021- Top Picks

It’s that time again- the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is just around the corner and I’ve been having so much fun preparing for it. This year, like in year’s past, Nordstrom has shared out the products that will be in the sale before you can buy them. You can’t buy them yet, but you can add them to your wish list, see the sale prices and drool over what you must have. The sale starts on different days for different customer tiers, so see below for shopping dates!

If you aren’t familiar with the Anniversary sale, it’s everyone’s favorite sale for a reason. New items, especially Fall items, are dropped in mid-July and they are sold at a steep discount. lt’s just too fun to be shopping for the best season of the year during the most miserable part of Summer. I always buy designer jeans, new boots, a jacket or two and even a sweater. Sometimes you can also find a pair of sandals, some sneakers and good beauty products too. Often these items go on sale again later in the Fall, but it’s so inspiring to shop for them early. Literally this is better than Christmas in July.

DISC NECKLACE // HORN NECKLACE

WALLET // BLANKET

Today I’ve put together my overall shopping list for the Anniversary sale. I have not yet started a list in kids or men’s, but the important categories like clothes, shoes, home and some beauty- I’ve got covered. The following items are ones that I plan to try on on Monday or order to try as soon as possible. I have access to start shopping on the first day of the sale, so I’ll share out my finds as soon as I can- via IG and here on the blog.

Overall this year, I think there are some great items. I’m really excited about some of the denim, the boots and a few jackets. I hope to find a new eyeshadow palette to love and a couple of great tees as well. When can you shop?For most shoppers, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will only last for 12 days—July 28 through August 8. (Prices go up August 9.)

Anniversary Sale Beauty Favorites- 2020

The Anniversary Sale is the time when I stock up on some of my very favorite beauty supplies at some of the best prices of the year. I typically buy a mix of high and low beauty products, but when I find a great product, I usually try to get it at the best price. This sale usually has the best lotion, the best brow products and the best tanning mousse on sale every year. And last year I invested in a new blow dryer- which luckily, is on sale again this year! See below for a quick review of my short list of faves that are still in stock and worth getting now at a great price!

All Nighter Setting Spray by Urban Decay: This stuff WORKS. Love this setting spray. I use it daily and I love that this set comes with a travel size and a full size. This set will last a long time.
MAC Eye Kit: I love trying one new palette from this sale and this one looks gorgeous. MAC is a brand I love and this one also comes in plum shades.
St. Tropez Self Tan: This is one of my top self tanners. I use this often and it goes on really well. It’s not orange toned. This is a great price for this brand.
Kiehl’s Creme de Corps: This lotion is my favorite lotion of all time. It goes on smooth, is not scented and makes a big difference. This is worth buying in the big size.
T3 Blow Dryer: This is a great splurge dryer. I upgraded last year and have been so impressed. Yes, it’s beautiful, but it’s also quiet and has so many settings. This would be a great birthday or Christmas gift.
Anastasia Brow Kit: This kit is the perfect little brow kit- even if you have had your brows microbladed. I still touch mine up a little every day and use this clear gel to set them. Comes in several colors.
T3 Brush Set: I have several of these brushes and they are great quality. This would be another great gift set. I especially love the paddle brush.

Anniversary Sale – The Best Of

Happy Tuesday friends! Today is the first day to shop the Anniversary Sale if you are Icon status and if you are not, the preview of sale items has been up for about a week now. You have to spend a certain amount each year to be at that card level, but over the next few days and week, other card levels will start to be able to shop. Today I’m sharing my picks for my initial favorites from the sale and as I try things on and see them in person- I’ll update and share out even more real time. I have been loving having the sale start in August this year as it’s a little closer to actual Fall and these Fall colors and styles feel so much more relevant to this time of year. Get ready for lots of teal, burnt orange, white and cream leather, black and more!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 Edition

WHAT IS THE NSALE or THE ANNIVERSARY SALE?This is the sale I look forward to most during the year. It’s once a year and unlike most sales, it’s a sale on NEW FALL items. Fall is my favorite season to get dressed for, and even if it’s 100 degrees outside, I’m still on board with dreaming of Fall weather, Fall style- Fall everything. New Fall shoes, clothes, hats, bags, accessories, kids’ clothes, men’s clothes, and beauty products are all on sale. Also staple products from NORDSTROM also go on sale during this period and I always stock up!WHEN IS THE SALE? Typically this sale happens in July, but because of Covid and so many unusual events this year, it was pushed back. This year’s dates area little different and the sale is a little different than normal in general. In fact- today you can actually preview much of the sale online, before anyone can shop! Then the sale opens up on different days to each cardholder level. Depending on your spend level- you can shop on different days. Obviously you can shop earlier if you have spent more in the past. SALE DATES (Mark these on your calendars!)Icon Status: August 4-18 – cardmembers Ambassadors: August 7-18 – for cardmembers Influencers: August 10-18 — for cardmembers Insiders: August 13-18 — for NEW cardmembers Everyone: August 19-30 DO YOU NEED A NORDSTROM CARD TO SHOP THE SALE?The very best deals or hottest items always sell out earlier. It will be interesting to see how things have been stocked this year between the stores and online, but I expect that the hottest items will still sell out earlier. So, if you really want to shop the sale before things sell out, you’ll probably want to open a card. This year you can apply for a card today and be approve to use it before shopping even opens up. I know it’s another cc- I get it! But even if you only shop this sale every year, it’s worth getting the card. You get access a full week early, you can order the items you want, and you earn points with your card that go toward Nordstrom cash later. Also, it’s free to apply and there are no fees. New card members will be able to shop August 13th. And just for applying, you instantly get a $60 Nordstrom note to spend with your Nordstrom card. HOW DO I SHOP THE ANNIVERSARY SALE?Your best shot of getting what you want is to shop the Early Access online on August 13th or sooner if you have the card status to shop sooner. You can also shop in-store, but they don’t have as wide of a selection as online. To shop in stores, the sale is sectioned off with yellow tape. Anyone can wander through the sale, but you’re not able to purchase anything from the sale unless you have a Nordstrom card. If you are a cardholder you get to pick a few days of the year to designate as your Double or Triple Points Day. I always use the first day of the sale for mine because I spend the most money that day. Those points add up fast when they are tripled! WHAT PIECES ARE WORTH BUYING DURING THE SALE?This is the sale to look at investing and splurging on things like designer denim, leather bags, leather boots and solid, staple sweaters. Investment worthy items are on sale during the Anniversary Sale and I always pay close attention to those. I’m planning a blog post where I feature a few investment pieces. I’ll also do a big designer denim post with try-on’s during the first week of the sale. My favorite $200 jeans always go on sale and they are WORTH grabbing at 40-50% off! HOW CAN OLM HELP?NORDSTROM is sometimes overwhelming to shop because there is so much, but the sale shrinks the selection and I’ll help pick things out. The Anniversary Sale has thousands of items on sale. It’s a lot to sort through- especially if you only shop at Nordstrom a few times a year. That’s one reason I always put so much effort into filtering and sorting it out for you. I’ll be shopping on August 4th and will have a list of my faves up on on the blog like I did last year.Be sure to keep checking back here once the sale kicks off, I’ll be keeping close tabs on the sale and will be sharing all of my favorites! MY FAVORITES FROM LAST YEAR’S SALE:

BLAZER: Typically I love to find a new blazer or two for Fall at this sale. This year I would love to find a new plaid and maybe even a solid color blazer to update my Fall wardrobe PURSES: The NSale is also a great time to invest in a designer purse. I bought this Rebecca Minkoff purse last year and almost bought it in two colors- I loved it so much. It was one of the items you all bought the most as well. SNEAKERS: Slip on sneakers are also a great buy at this sale. I update my nicer sneakers at this sale. This pair from UGG were a great purchase last year.

STRIPED TEE: Basic tees are another items to stock on at the sale. I typically will grab new striped and basic tees for a great deal. HATS: Hats are another Fall accessory that are usually included in the sale and are a fun way to get wearing some Fall trends. JACKETS: I bought my favorite jean jacket last year at the sale, but many jacket styles are typically included in the sale. This sale is a great time to refresh your camo or military or leather jacket.

LOUNGE WEAR: If there was ever a year for lounge wear, this is it. I would expect the lounge wear to sell out the fastest this year at the sale. Typically you can find great sets at the sale. I also will refresh my favorite Zella leggings, my favorite robe, workout tanks, shorts, pjs and more.

BEAUTY, LOTIONS & MAKEUP: My favorite lotions and makeup palettes are also usually on sale every year as well. I typically buy a big bottle of Kiehls lotion, Anastasia brow pencil sets, and a new eye palette or two to try. You can check out all of the Early Access Items Here. Be sure to follow along on Facebook for quick posts and pics and on Instagram for story swipe ups and on the Liketoknow.it app for easy shopping as well. I’ll be sharing my favorites for the sale that I’m excited to shop soon so that I can help you get your list ready to go so that when the sale is open- we are ready!What are you looking for this year in the sale?
