Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024

It’s finally here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is my favorite sale to shop, and the one I look forward to every year.

So, what is the NSale? It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year, covering all categories from clothing, beauty, home, accessories, shoes, and more. It’s also a great time to try new beauty items, and even start shopping early for the holidays.

Each year, I go into the sale with a game plan: What do I want to focus on? Sometimes it’s loungewear, sometimes it’s jewelry, other times it’s a complete mix of items! BUT the most important thing to keep in mind is to stick to a budget! Which is why I recommend going in with a plan of a category you’d like to focus on – it helps you stay on track! It’s why I’ve made these guides for you – to keep things simple.

I actually didn’t have anything I was dying to get, but as I was making my guides, I realized I actually need new boots! Tall boots to be exact. I try to buy a pair every year, and they never work out (mostly because I’m ordering online from a brand I haven’t purchased from in the past, so I’m unfamiliar with the fit). Otherwise, everything else I order, I keep! I’ve linked my top personal picks down below.

Access to the sale is broken down into tiers, with early access given to Nordstrom Card members. The more you spend each year on your card, the earlier access you get to the sale. I’ve always been in the Influencer category.

*Things sell out quick! I recommend previewing the sale before you have access, and adding everything you’d like to get into your “wish list.” Once you do have access, move everything to your cart and check out! It’s a huge timesaver and this will ensure you get the items you really want. I usually have a few pieces I want that are already out of stock by the time I have access, but I’m hoping the items in my guide will still be in stock by the time non-card members have access.

Here is the sale access breakdown:

I’ve broken my guides down into different categories, and have also included top sellers from years past, like the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings and Barefoot Dreams blankets. I hope you find my guides helpful!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023

It’s officially time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is my top favorite sale to shop every year – and the preview is such a big help! I love the fact that you can preview the sale, add items you’d like to purchase to your “wish list” and then move them all to your cart when you’re able to access the sale. It saves so much time and makes the whole process less stressful!

What is the NSale?

It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale/fashion event of the year where you can save on brand new items and home and fashion essentials! The sale runs July 11 (if you’re a Nordstrom card holder. Apply here.)- August 6, but public access to the sale starts July 17.

As usual, access to the sale is broken into tiers:

Since I’m a Nordstrom Card holder, I’m able to shop the sale on July 13 as an “Influencer” (everyone who has the Nordstrom Card starts out at the “Influencer” level.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the items full-time influencers share, will sell out QUICK! For example, the Barefoot dreams blankets are always part of the sale, and I’ve never been able to grab one during it. It’s also very frustrating because I see a lot of these full-time influencers buy multiples of one item for giveaways!

This is why my guide will have a mix of a few popular items that are always part of the sale (like Spanx faux leather leggings), and other items that I don’t think will sell out as quickly.

Feeling overwhelmed with all the sale collages being thrown at you?

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when all you see are sale collages on social media. Here’s my technique – go into the sale with a focus. For example, one year I focused on loungewear (must have been 2020/2021 during the COVID-19 Pandemic). Another year, I focused on jewelry/accessories. Also, give yourself a budget – there is no need to go into debt over this sale! Because I’m planning to buy one big item this year, I may not buy anything else, or I might buy one or two items for a total of three items. We shall see!

My NSale Guide

I think the NSale is a great time to stock up on Nordstrom brand jewlery – the quality is great (they don’t turn my skin green!) and it’s very affordable! It’s also a great time to stock up on basic pieces like tanks and trench coats that carry you from fall to winter. Below are my guides that I hope help you find your focus for this year’s sale.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Guide | 2022

It’s officially that time! Time to preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

This is the time when I do the majority of my shopping from Nordstrom. I try to stick to a theme every year in order to stay focused and within my budget. For example, during the year COVID-19 first hit, I stuck with loungewear. Another year, my focus was on accessories – Nordstrom’s brand is great quality! This year, my focus is kind of spread out.. where I’m wanting one lounge piece, maybe one necklace, and perhaps a pair of shoes? Yes, I don’t really have a theme this year, but if I plan to stick to only ONE item per category, I think I’ll be good! I’ll share what I eventually end up ordering!

One important thing to take note of is the tiered access system. If you’re a Nordstrom Card holder, you’ll get earlier access to the sale, depending on how much you spend a year.

One important thing I need to mention is to ALWAYS stay focused and never go past your budget. It can be very easy to get excited and get off track – which is why I find a theme for each year or a main focus. A general piece of advice for any major sale is to stick to basics. I recently read that your wardrobe should be 80% basics and 20% trendy pieces, which I think is a great rule to follow.

I usually use this sale to try something I’ve been wanting to try, but didn’t want to make the splurge without a sale. I also use this sale as a time to buy jewelry. I’ve found Nordstrom brand jewelry to be great quality! I have a number of pieces from Nordstrom that have lasted years!

I took a look at the preview for the sale and put together things I don’t think will sell out fast. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing full-time influencers share items that are already sold out by the time the general public has access to the sale. So, I made it a point to only include a few big name brand pieces. I do have one collage dedicated to Barefoot Dreams, but I’m hoping there’s enough variety to where you will still have options if something is sold out – like the leopard blanket for example – it sells out FAST! So, I include other blanket styles as well.

My husband never shops the NSale, so I didn’t take the time to make any collages for the menswear/accessories. The same goes for kids, since we don’t have kids.

The NSale is one of my favorite sales and I look forward to it every year! I hope you find my guide helpful!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | 2021

It’s that time of year again! Time to take advantage of some good deals coming up at Nordstrom!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the time I shop at Nordstrom the most. I try not to make too many purchases throughout the year there and usually try to wait for this sale.

I understand this sale is frustrating for many, myself included. The problem I’ve seen in the past is that A LOT of things sell out FAST. In addition to this, a lot of influencers buy multiples of items for their giveaways – and these are popular items too, like the Barefoot Dreams blankets. In fact, I was so annoyed by never being able to get that blanket on sale, that I just bought it myself full price! It doesn’t make sense to me that influencers make collages of very popular items, that the general public won’t even be able to put the item in their cart once the sale is open to them!

So, for this year’s sale, I put together a list of things I’m hoping don’t sell out quickly. Yes, I’ve included things like the Barefoot Dreams blankets, just to let you know it is a hot-ticket item. I’ve also included a few things I already have and can 100% vouch for in terms of quality.

The products I tend to stay away from during this sale, are shoes. Shoes are always difficult for me to buy online – I prefer to try them on in-store if I can. While I love a great deal on a pair of shoes, unless I’m dying to have them, I won’t make the purchase. This is something I learned from my a previous Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – I bought booties and they were just a little too tight for my wide feet! I kept them anyway. I just try not to wear them for long hours.

As you browse through these collages (all are linked) I made, I suggest putting items you love in your “wish list.” This will make the process to check out quick and easy, and gives you a higher chance of actually getting these products. I do want to warn you however, that I did end up not getting a shirt that I successfully checked out with because turns out – it was out of stock. So, that is another thing that is frustrating.

Take note of when you have access to the sale (I myself can start to shop on July 16th), and remember, don’t go into debt over it! Stay in control! I always give myself a limit and even then, try to stay below it as much as I can. All items are linked, just click on each collage. Good luck!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends August 30th, but I thought.. better late than never to share what I was actually able to get from the sale!

Not sure how you all felt, but this sale was pretty frustrating for me! My main goal was to get the leopard-print Barefoot Dreams blanket, which quickly went out of stock.

The reason I found this year’s sale so incredibly frustrating was because of the sale being accessible in tiers – ranging from Icons, Ambassadors, Influencers, Insiders, and then to the public (I’m an Insider since I have the Nordstrom credit card).

Because of the tiered access, all these Nordstrom ambassadors and influencers were able to get everything they liked or what they thought would be best sellers.. first. However, almost everything that was considered a “hot item” was out of stock before the general public had access to it. How frustrating right?!

So, the wish list I had initially posted had literally gone out the window by the time I had access to the sale.

I ended up getting four items of clothing and a pair of earrings and a bangle. Although, I wish I had gotten the Barefoot Dreams blanket and socks.. I’m happy with what I was able to get. BUT.. I am hoping next year’s sale is different!

Here are the items I got that are STILL IN STOCK:

Loyalty Open Toe Bootie: https://rb.gy/aqkpfj

Nordstrom Precious Metal Plated Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings: https://rb.gy/xjcxut

Madewell Dispatch Camo Jacket: https://rb.gy/7kw6fj
