Get ready to save your favorite items, set calendar and phone alarms and pre-register your credit card. It's time for the shopping event of the year: the much-anticipated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Ok, there's a slight catch: Right now the shopping extravaganza is only open to Nordstrom credit card holders. But no worries if you're not a Nordy Club member — you can sign up here or you can create a wishlist with all of the items we've hand-selected below, and add to cart once the sale opens to all shoppers on July 15. Bonus: Everyone will receive free shipping and, if necessary, free returns.
Being a member is worth it. There's no annual fee and you'll get a $40 bonus plus early access to big sales like this. You'll earn 1, 2 or 3 points per dollar spent, depending on your Nordy Club status.
Nordstrom saves its very best deals for this sale, so it's a great opportunity to update your current basics or revamp your wardrobe in anticipation of fall fashions. There are huge discounts on heavy hitters like Spanx, Adidas, Coach and Barefoot Dreams, to name a few. Now's your chance to try out new-to-you brands at a steal, too.
May the shopping luck shine upon you!
Every wardrobe needs a simple, comfy sweater to take you anywhere from brunch to the movies. The slight crop paired with voluminous sleeves on this beauty adds a dash of trend to the rib-knit design. And you can't beat the price: $10! Available in Grey Heather, Blue Greece and Tan Boulder.
While described as running shoes, these Adidas kicks are great for anyone looking for a great mix of comfort and support. The foam base is springy and flexible, and also distributes weight for that walking-on-clouds feeling. The insole is removable if you have custom orthotics. You can't go wrong with any of the three colors: black, pale pink and a muted magenta.
"If you’re looking for a low profile, super comfortable everyday shoe, look no further. The Supernovas hug your feet perfectly so your foot feels secure, and the bounce tech is the ultimate in comfort," said one happy customer.
Any Madewell fan knows: Finding the brand on super sale is akin to seeing a unicorn. It just doesn’t happen. And yet here we are — with a 25% discount. This gauzy, button-front dress is perfect for hot summer days with a pair of sandals and fun earrings. Then, the color and fit will transition nicely into fall by swapping in a pair of booties (we've got you covered there too with the next item) and a cardigan or jacket.
Who doesn’t need a pair of flat black booties? They give spunk to a dress and look great with jeans and a T-shirt. This Easy Spirit pair is ridiculously comfortable, thanks to a flexible sole and cushioned footbed. The side zipper makes taking them on and off a breeze. Bonus: They're sold in regular and wide widths in sizes 5–12.
A back to basics approach might be just what your skin-care routine craves. This Tula set contains an easy two-step system of packed-with-probiotics bestsellers. The purifying face cleanser is a cult classic that removes dirt, excess oil and makeup without stripping the skin; top it with the hydrating day and night cream. The set includes full and travel sizes of both products so you can take your goodies on the go.
If you've stumbled upon travel packing TikTok or Instagram videos, then you're likely familiar with Beis, the brand founded by actress Shay Mitchell. I have been stopped in my scrolls on many an instance watching someone stuff an entire week's vacation into one of these small bags without needing to sacrifice a pair of shoes or a hair tool.
Now is your time to grab their weekender for 31% off. The compact cutie has a huge interior pocket, exterior pocket, laptop sleeve and separate bottom compartment for shoes (or dirty laundry).
Perennial shoppers of the sale know that Barefoot Dreams is the brand to have on your radar. The ultra soft sweaters, plush robes and cushy socks have big discounts — and big fans — so they sell out fast. This open-front, long cardigan comes in six colors.
Says a cozy shopper: "This cardigan is exactly as named. It’s comfortable and clean looking. It’s perfect for Zoom calls, running errands and as an extra layer if your happy hour drink is too chilly. I should take off a star for the sole reason that choosing a color has been very difficult.... And people: IT HAS POCKETS."
It's time to retire those leggings hidden in the back of your closet. You know the ones: the waistband is so stretched they no longer stay up; they're so threadbare through the seat, they're no longer fit for public consumption. These Zella leggings are a replacement contender. The tall, wide waistband sculpts your midsection sans any digging in or painful compression. The simple design works in the gym or for casual outfits. Sold in solid charcoal or black and also available in a 7/8 length.
Some outfits just require a helping hand in order for you to look and feel your best. These lightweight shorts prevent thigh chafing, and smooth out your stomach and hips. The side panels are squeeze-free, so you'll be comfortable all day long. Available in four shades: black, dark brown, tan, and beige.
"SO impressed with this shapewear. No visible seams. I can’t believe I’ve never tried Spanx before. I love that my body looks the same size, just everything is smoother and held in. Excellent. In this dress before the shapewear you could see the seamless thong panty line, hip dips, tummy, and thigh cellulite. Everything is smooth now and I feel so confident in a dress I would have otherwise been adjusting all night.... Highly recommend," said one reviewer.
Three words: treat yo self. If you’re going to choose one splurge-worthy item that’s just for you, make it this universally flattering lip set. (Although we admit, the packaging is very giftable.) It comes with three full-size products in the iconic Pillow Talk shade: a hydrating, dewy finish lipstick, a long-wear matte lipstick and a lip pencil. It's like magic — it really looks great on everyone!
This review from a super fan of the matte revolution lipstick formula will sway you to hit "add to cart": “Charlotte Tilbury's Matte formula has, by far, been the best matte lipstick for my lips. Although matte, the lipsticks go on smoothly and easily, they wear well, and last a long time. No bleeding, no drying. Reapplication is a breeze.... I now own 5 colors!”
This cute little crossbody is old-school Coach in the best way. Its neutral color palette goes with everything, but the details, like a gold chain and fold-over snap, elevate it beyond boring. The tri-pocket interior keeps your items organized, and there’s even a card pouch — so leave that bulky wallet at home. Plus, it’s a great price at $100 right now.
As a matching-pajama-set devotee, I can personally attest to the comfort and quality of this pick. The fabric is soft and remains so even after countless spins through the washer and dryer. The loose fit doesn't require adjusting to fix a tight waistband or stiff sleeves, yet the button front and collar looks nice enough for coming down to family breakfast at your in-laws.
It's available in five colors and patterns, including navy, pink gingham, and leopard print. It's a size-inclusive choice, with options from 4X to XXS. Find it in a long sleeve and pants set too.
We call this one the compliment magnet. The bold floral in red or navy just makes an impact. The elbow-length sleeves, midi length, and button front is versatile when it comes to seasons (straddling summer and fall) and occasions (we could see this styled for the office or a wedding). The price tag is a good fit too, at $50 off.
One of the hot colors of summer is magenta — and style setters predict the bold hue's popularity will continue well into fall and winter. A statement-making jacket might be just the thing to buy to rock the trend, so stock up now while this Levi's puffer is a third off. It features super soft padding, a hood and a snap-front design; a cinch in the back allows you to customize the fit. It also comes in a striking orange.
Botanical ingredients are the secret behind this luxurious body brand. Seaweed, acai, and passion fruit deliver hydration and smooth, glowing skin via the body oil. Then, a whipped body butter has shea butter and ceramides to address dryness and protect the skin barrier, keeping it moisturized. The three-piece set comes with a full-size and travel-size body oil and a travel-size body butter.
