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 | 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

Honeydew Sun Soaker Lounge Set: https://rb.gy/cig2m7

The Indoorsy “sweatshirt” I mentioned (out of stock): https://rb.gy/ql0xr3

Just for reference — here are the Spanx leggings I ordered: https://rb.gy/hunyow

The NSale is taking over my life | Adjusted Wish List

My previous blog post was all about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and what my focus on items would be on.

Well, that basically all went out the window as things started to sell out fast as it opened up to Icons, Ambassadors, and Influencers first.

I was bummed, but this is also helping me narrow down my wish list. However, because the sale is open to different people in different tiers first.. I’m also being HEAVILY INFLUENCED by everyone shopping early! It’s changed up my wish list and now I’m looking at more than just comfy loungewear.

Here’s a look at my modified wish list:

I’ve left sold out items in my cart on purpose.. hoping it might be back in stock when it’s my time to shop the sale.

I’ve deleted a few items and added a few new things, further adding to my indecisiveness.

I do have a list of Must Haves within this wish list:

  1. Barefoot Dreams Blanket
  2. Indoorsy Sweatshirt
  3. The 42 Gold Fog Suede Booties
  4. One of those leggings. Still can’t decide between the BP pair or the Spanx pair.
  5. Barefoot Dreams Socks (is this silly?)
  6. Madewell Camo Jacket

I also went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday hoping to find a Barefoot Dreams Blanket – I’ve heard they’re listed for even cheaper at $50! I didn’t find any.

What I did find were several lounge sets! So, I picked up one pair of the softest shorts I’ve ever touched, one red lounge set, and a grey cropped t-shirt. Now, I’m not so sure about these lounge sets on my wish list since I already found some for around $20.

I’m definitely hoping to get this narrowed down even more before the 13th!

Hope this blog post helps anyone looking to also narrow down their wish list!

Did you see last week’s YouTube video? It was all about my corgis!

I won’t have a regular video going up today as it will be another one about my corgis.

I’ve also placed a big order on Amazon – video on that will be up once everything comes in! It’s been divided into three orders.

Hope you all have a great week!
