You must shop these rarely discounted brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Le Creuset is pretty much the gold standard in cookware, beloved by renowned chefs (including one Barefoot Contessa!) for durable, enameled cast iron pieces that stand up to high heat and the test of time. This Dutch oven is perfect for saucy pastas, chicken dishes and stews. It'll also add some nice color to your counter, stove and tabletop.

"Perfect size for cooking everything from cioppino and paella to soup and stir fry," said a happy home chef. 

Is there anything better than fluffy socks? This cozy pair from Barefoot Dreams will keep your toes warm come fall and winter. One sizes fits women's shoe sizes 5 to 9. Score them in a bunch of colors including gray, pink and black.

If Mom loves a good nude lip, this Charlotte Tilbury kit has a lip pencil, lipstick and lip gloss that's perfect for any neutral makeup look. Layer one on top of another, or wear the gloss solo for a subtle shine. (Psst, this gift set has a $95 value, so you get way more bang for your buck!)

Shopping for transitional weather is, well, tricky. Luckily, this dress makes it a smidge (read: a lot) easier. Available in both straight and plus sizing, the chambray style is appropriate for a summer evening and a brisk, fall afternoon. 

The midi dress features a comfortably flowy skirt and a long line of buttons for a polished but chill vibe. The whole look is topped off with a matching belt that cinches at the waist and four handy pockets. 

Whoever told you that you can't snuggle up under an ultra-cozy blanket during the summer must hate joy — blankets are a year-round necessity. Barefoot Dreams makes the snuggliest and the chicest, and Nordstrom just marked this one down by $55.

The brand’s signature blanket is made of wildly soft microfiber that stays impossibly soft wash after wash. Unlike other microfiber blankets, it doesn't pill, snag or shed. Throw it on your bed, couch, or lounge chair or just wrap yourself up in it and take it from room to room.

Winter is coming (eventually). As soon as the temps drop, you're going to wish you had a classic pair of Uggs to slide on, If you're generally iffy about the style of basic Ugg boots, you need to check out this pair. It's similar to the standard mini — but with a little bit of spice thanks to the cuffed embroidery. 

Honestly, you can even wear these as slippers around the house for extra warmth! Also available in black and light tan. 

Everyone knows and loves Le Creuset's Dutch oven, but it's time that the casserole dish got some praise. Of course, it's great for baking things like brownies, baked pastas and casseroles (duh), but it's also a decor piece on its own. 

On top of the oven, you can even throw it in the dishwasher, microwave and freezer. Any cookware that doesn't require breaking out the Tupperware for storage gets a gold star. 

A good basic is a good basic and this gray tee is a good basic. While it may look simple, the top features a pleat at the back for a flowier and more flattering fit. The slightly ribbed fabric and crewneck style are just the cherry on top. 

The heather gray shade goes well with everything, especially light-wash jeans like on the model. However, you can also nab it in black, blue, red and a pinkish cream. 

Retinol is one of the few ingredients clinically proven to smooth wrinkles, and Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Eye Rescue uses time-released version to help resurface the skin around the eye to make the area softer-looking, less dry and simply prettier overall. When used consistently, the formula also helps to reduce puffiness. Maybe best of all, this package includes a refill pod.

You could even take the $41 you saved and put it toward Tilbury's universally flattering Pillow Talk Lip Kit, also on sale.
