  • 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – What I Purchased

    2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – What I Purchased

    The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off to Cardholders. I shopped the sale yesterday online and ordered a ton of basics and a few fall/winter items that I feel will be really useful. I don’t live somewhere that gets too cold/wet during the year, so I don’t have a huge need for sweaters and coats.

    Unfortunately, a lot of things have already sold out (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they come back in stock), but I’m going to share what I purchased and I’ll link them in the event that they come back.

    Nordstrom-Anniversary-Sale-2018

    SPANX Distressed Skinny Jeans: SALE: $85.50 After Sale: $128

    Fully stocked right now. Runs true to size. I ordered these in an XS. Controls and shapes problem areas such as tummy, hips, thighs and rear. They are high rise. These are the same brand as my fave faux-leather leggings. These seem to be fully stocked as of this morning!

    CASLON Rounded V-Neck TeeSALE: $16 After Sale: $25

    I got this tee in the yellow stripe in an XS last year and loved it soo much I had to get it in the black stripe and grey this year. Available in 9 colors this year! These are great basic tees and a staple for my wardrobe. I can wear these all year round. This tee is going super quickly. They cancelled my black and white stipe and the grey one from my pick up in store option. Luckily I was able to order the grey one.

    VINCE CAMUTO Nestel Knee High Boot: SALE: $160 After Sale: $240

    Available in 3 colors and all still fully stocked. Classic, simple and essential for any wardrobe, this easy-to-wear boot features a softly pointed toe and tall shaft with concealed goring behind the knee. I ordered my regular 6.5, but should have gone with a 7.

    CONVERSE Chuck Taylor All Star Lift SneakerSALE: $47 After Sale: $70

    I am SUPER bummed about these. I ordered them in my normal converse size (they always seem to run a 1/2 size big, so I size down) and then Nordstrom cancelled my order because they ran out. Now they are going in and out of stock, so far only in larger sizes (9 and up). This is one of the items I’m hoping they restock!

    KATE SPADE Danalyn 54mm Polarized SunglassesSALE: $120 After Sale: $180

    I can not wait to get these!! I love my Kate Spade’s I got last year, and I know these will be perfect too. They come in both black and brown, I ordered the black pair.

    MAC Up Close and Personal Lip Kit: SALE: $36.50 After Sale: $54

    A trio of lip colors all packaged together in a special metallic rose-goldstone kit. This comes in the nude color and a pink color; I ordered the nude kit.

    MADEWELL Ryder Stripe Cardigan Sweater: SALE: $65 After Sale: $98

    Unfortunately, this is another item that sold out very quickly! I ordered a Medium and hopefully will be able to exchange it later for my regular size Small. Update – this item was cancelled from my order and is completely SOLD OUT. I hope they restock before the sale opens for everyone on Friday!

    UGG Scuffette II Slipper: SALE: $55 After Sale: $85

    Available in 5 colors, I ordered the Fawn/Brown in a size 6. I LOVE UGGs and ordered a pair of the short boots last year. So this year I had to get the slippers. These are still available in almost every color!

    THE NORTH FACE Magnolia Waterproof Rain Jacket: SALE: $84 After Sale: $120

    I ordered this jacket in the black in a size Small. I like my jackets to fit a little looser. This jacket comes in 4 different colors. Still fully stocked in all colors!

    SPANX Bra-llelujah! Full Coverage Underwire Bra: SALE: $45 After Sale: $68

    I got this in my regular size in the nude. I’ve heard soo many great things about this bra, so I figured I’d give it a shot while it’s on sale. It comes in a nude and a grey color. This item is now only available in the grey and looks like it does not come in A cup.

    DR. SCHOLL’S Leta Slip-On Sneaker: SALE: $60 After Sale: $90

    I have these slip-ons in the grey color and I love them! It’s like walking on clouds. I ordered these in my normal 6.5 in the Brown Suede, but they also come in pink (they’re super cute too). They seem to be pretty well stocked in both colors.

     NIKE 3-Pack No-Show SocksSALE: $10 Value: $14

    I also ordered the 3 pack of black/white/tan no-show socks. They’re perfect for my slip-on sneakers and low cut booties! They’re a definite basic necessity.

    So there you have it, that’s everything I ordered from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. There are tons of other great deals out there and I may or may not have to do some more damage later (just don’t tell the hubby). If you’re hoping to get some great items I would suggest doing it sooner rather than later because things are selling out very quickly and may not come back in stock.

    XOXO

  • Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: All the details you need to know

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: All the details you need to know

    It is almost my favorite time of year…and it starts on FRIDAY!!!

    The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary  Sale!

    I already took a look at the catalog and boy does this years sale look like it’s going to be a good one! Here’s everything you need to know about shopping the sale:

    WHEN DOES THE 2018 NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE BEGIN?

    Make sure you’re watching these dates!

    July 12-18 | Early Access shopping opens to all Nordstrom Cardholder levels

    July 19-August 4 | Anniversary Sale opens to the public

    August 5 | Sale prices go back up to full-price

    WHY ALL THE HYPE?
    1. It only happens once a year during the summer right as fall & winter styles start hitting stores.
    2. It’s an opportunity to shop for NEW fall & winter items or splurge on something designer at significantly lower prices. (FYI everything goes back to full price when the sale ends)
    3. It’s not just women’s clothing. It’s ALL departments will have a sale including men’s, shoes, handbags, beauty, athletic, home and kids.
    4. The selection is HUGE. There are thousands of items (some that never, ever go on sale). There are so many brand favorites like Free PeopleSam EdelmanTory Burch, and so many more!
    WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE SALE?

    More like what isn’t included in the sale? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview catalog has a small preview of exact items that will be included, however there will be so many more that we won’t get to see until the sale goes live.

    TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE
    1. Sign up for a Nordstrom Credit. They don’t actually offer the Debit Card anymore (that’s what I use). There’s no annual fee and when you sign up, you’ll get a $20 Note (free Nordstrom money). When you use either card, there are some great benefits including earning 2 points per dollar spent at NordstromNordstrom RackHauteLook and Trunk Club, plus 24/7 access to Nordstrom customer service.
    2. SHOP THE SALE EARLY! The most popular items tend to sell out and may not be restocked. I made the mistake last year of not making my purchases soon enough and some of the stuff I wanted was already gone. I learned that you can always return what you don’t like or the size that doesn’t fit. Remember: Nordstrom always has free shipping AND free returns.

    So does that sound like a good sale or what? Make sure you stay tuned because I plan on posting a sale shopping guide & a haul of everything I end up purchasing!
