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.

One more day to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Have you shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? There’s only one day left! I took a look at my guide, and there’s still a good amount of things left!

I LOVE my Good American Jeans, and the initial necklace. The nightdress is also incredibly soft – a top fave!

Take a look and see if your size is still in stock!

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!

New Purchases! | Long coat sale and new spring shoes

I recently scored on a major coat sale this past week and I NEEDED to make a blog post about it to let you all know about my finds so you too, can take advantage of the sale!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I recently started a new job – which brought the need for nicer work coats. Before this purchase, I only had ONE nice work coat (which is too small today and it’s just an itchy one) that I bought while I was working in Texas. It was never a favorite, but I had limited options.

Right now, Nordstrom is having a sale on their long coats, so I had a plan to buy three of them, hoping at least one of them would fit me. I feel like I always have a hard time finding good coats for my petite frame, but let me tell you.. I got pretty lucky with this purchase – which totally backfired on my plan.

I bought this brown coat from Ralph Lauren (31% off) – did not have high expectations, but it’s definitely a fave! Fits well on my petite frame with a size 2. It’s made of a wool mix, so it’s not very itchy.

The second coat I got is also from Ralph Lauren (50%) – I swear I ordered it in black, but it ended up being in the color “midnight,” which I don’t even see listed on the website. I got it in a size XS and it looks great on tied and opened. This is my favorite coat from my entire Nordstrom order.

The third coat I got is from Ellen Tracy (40% off) – I ordered it in a size small, but it felt oversized and the material was very itchy. This is the one that is getting returned. Overall, it’s a cute coat! It’s just not cute on me.

I ended up ordering another coat on Amazon and it’s a great find! I got this coat in a size small in the dark camel color and it fits great! It’s very soft and extremely comfortable. I was afraid it would look too casual, but it works with both workwear and casual wear – a definite must-have.

Almost forgot to talk about the shoes! I ordered my second pair of Rothy’s pointed-toe flats with their new spring design and I know it’s cliche, but I’m OBSESSED. I love it with both jeans and dress pants. I always recommend going up a half-size in ALL of Rothy’s shoes. If you’re a new customer, you can get $20 off any product, just click here!

Okay, that felt like a lot, but I don’t want you guys to miss out on this good coat sale!! Let me know if you end up ordering any coats or Rothy’s! Hope you all have a relaxing end to your weekend!
