    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 People, Sam Edelman, Tory 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 Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook 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!

  • 10 Best Petite Clothing Websites

    10 Best Petite Clothing Websites

    Ok, so where are all my other petite girls at? Being 5’2″ definitely has its perks…things like legroom is never really an issue for me. And if you date the right guy, heel height is not an issue either (luckily for me, the husband is 6’4″…hello 4 inch heels!). But when it comes to reaching things in high places and shopping for clothes, let the panic set in. It seems that us petite gals always get the short end of the stick when it comes to shopping.

    If you’re anything like me, then dresses and skirts tend to be too long, pants bunch at the ankles, and even some shirts will be WAY too long to even do a cute tuck.

    Thankfully I’ve found that some brands have really stepped it up and now offer “short” or “petite” options on many of their items. To make things easier for y’all, I’ve rounded up my top 10 sites to shop from!

    Nordstrom

    This is your one-stop shop for petite-friendly picks from all your favorite brands. Even better, they always offer free shipping and returns! FYI – Nordstrom is also having their Half Yearly Sale right now!

    Abercrombie

    Yes, they now carry “short” lengths for those on-trend denim looks you love. Plus, they offer a “petite” option in their dresses and jumpsuits. I’ve been buying soo much from A&F lately and love that I have the option to buy something without thinking about getting it hemmed! FYI – for a limited time, 50% off throughout the store!

    American Eagle

    I buy almost all of my jeans from AE, so it’s great that I have the option to buy “short” jeggings and jeans! This means that I don’t always have to cuff my jeans when I wear them. FYI – for a limited time, online only, everything is 25-60% off!

    Madewell

    Madewell finally carries petites! J.Crew’s sister brand is ideal for on-trend pieces and basics alike. Although Madewell’s focus is to provide women (and now men!) with great jeans, you’ll also find essentials like tees, blouses, and bags to wear with them.

    Loft

    No more tailoring your entire wardrobe. Loft carries both professional and casual pieces that fit and flatter right off the rack. Whether it’s workday or weekend wear, filling your closet with confidence-boosting clothing makes getting dressed a breeze. I actually love the Loft and it’s my go-to for both work and everyday wear!

    J.Crew

    Best for separates that will last from season to season. I get sooo many of my work clothes from here and can wear them year round. They also always have some kind of sale going on!

    Ann Taylor

    Tired of hemming your pants and jeans? Ann Taylor’s got you covered. For modern essentials with a sophisticated and feminine spin, look no further.

    Gap

    Best for affordable denim that actually fits—no more shopping in the kid’s section. Classic, casual style, and wardrobe basics are GAP’s specialty. Think jeans, t-shirts, LBD’s, and more. They’re also big on sales, so you’re practically guaranteed to get a good deal no matter what.

    Anthropologie

    Best for all the boho dresses and jumpsuits your heart could desire. Anthro specializes in relaxed, breathable fabrics so comfortable you can wear them to dinner and lounge in them later.

    Old Navy

    Best for wardrobe essentials that don’t break the bank. Wear anything from the site and you’ll receive compliments all day, even though you probably spent less than $20.

    Be sure to check out some of these sites this weekend as they will all have a Memorial Day sale going on!
