I've already added so many goodies to my cart — including comfy leggings and the perfect pair of boots. (Nordstrom)
Important shopping PSA: The once-a-year Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends today, so now's your final chance to take advantage of the truly unreal savings. Growing up, I bonded with my mother over our mutual love of Nordstrom. I clearly remember our first trip to the brick-and-mortar location at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, N.Y. The shoe department alone had me floored. All these years later, I'm still in awe of the retailer and am currently scooping up new fall styles, must-have anti-aging creams, coveted home goods and more at best-of-year discounts.
So, what's in my cart? I'm grabbing this sleek Coach tote that fits my laptop and daily necessities for working remotely from neighborhood cafes. It's on sale for $250 — that's $145 off! I walk a lot, so I also snapped up this Bombas sock three-pack for just $30 (was $39). Also on my list: a Steve Madden dress that naturally flatters the waist (it's 35% off) and a Barefoot Dreams throw blanket that's nearly $60 off.
And those are just the tip of the iceberg. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has beloved brands like Sam Edelman, Madewell, New Balance, Levi's, Hunter, Le Creuset, Rebecca Minkoff, Rothy's and Drybar at can't-miss prices. If you see something like you, don't wait — the hottest deals (and sizes) are selling out fast.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the general public on Saturday, July 12, with price cuts on a huge range of merchandise. The sale runs through today, August 3. Nordstrom cardmembers, who also belong to the brand’s Nordy Club, got early access to the savings starting on Tuesday, July 8.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a huge savings event that some people wait for all year. It's different than other Nordstrom sales because it offers brand-new, just-released items at sale prices instead of discounts on older items. You'll find rare discounts (our favorite!) on some of the biggest fashion, beauty and home brands on the market. It's a great time to shop for fall and winter merchandise at reduced prices as well as score deals on trendy new arrivals and everyday essentials.
Nordstrom puts a ton of must-have merchandise on sale — think clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty products and home goods. There are items for men, women and kids, so you can shop for every member of your family.
While you can find apparel and goods for just about any time of year, the sale has a big emphasis on fall and winter collections. Brands to look out for include Zella, Barefoot Dreams, Madwell, Coach, Le Creuset, Free People and more.
Everything! Start with high-fashion items you've had your eye on but may have been too pricey — this is your time to pick up designer goods (think handbags, shoes and accessories from luxury brands) that are rarely discounted. Essentials like basic T-shirts, bathing suits, transitional jackets, sneakers and socks are also on our list.
And don’t forget beauty must-haves, too. We've spotted some of our favorite anti-aging moisturizers, high-end makeup and must-have fragrances at amazing prices. You should also keep an eye out for deeply discounted home goods like cookware and bedding.
If you plan to shop on your phone, it’s also a good idea to download the Nordstrom app to make it easier to scroll through selections and redeem the rewards you earn by shopping with Nordstrom. You can even set up push notifications to let you know when hot items are on sale, as well as when certain products are back in stock.
Again, timing is important here. Popular items sell out fast, so make your purchases ASAP.
