It’s finally here (when the clock strikes 12)! The moment I wait for ALL year round (seriously): Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Early Access!

If you aren’t familiar with the Anniversary Sale, lets fill you in. Nordstrom partners with top brands and designers to brand-new fall styles at discounted prices. After the sale all prices go back to regular price. Nothing on sale is old, which I love! You are getting first picks on clothing, handbags, shoes, baby gear, makeup, and accessories for the whole family for next season.

I have had an inside scoop of the inventory for this year’s Anniversary sale for the past month. I’ve been able to try on every pair of jeans, along with multiple dresses, tops, and shoes to give you the best breakdown and top items of the sale!  I can’t wait to share all of the goodness.

Guide to A Successful Anniversary Sale

Anniversary is the one time every year where I stock up on must-haves for my husband and I. It is the perfect time to purchase essentials for your closet. I try to purchase items that are not only realistic for fall, but are items I can wear throughout multiple seasons. Who doesn’t love revamping their closet? Out with the old and in with the new! The number one tip I have for you is if you see something you’re debating, buy now and decide later. With this sale, the best things go fast, and I mean fast. Luckily, everything is free shipping, so you can place as many orders as you’d like if you end up finding more items later on.

Here is a breakdown of what I try to purchase during my Anniversary sale haul:

-Pair of Designer Jeans

-New Fall/Winter Jacket

-Layering Pieces (Vests, Cardigans)

-Dress

-Pair of Boots

-Pair of Booties

-Pair of Flats

-Handbag

-Accessories

Trends this Anniversary Sale

Fringe, Bohemian, Leathers, Furs, Booties, Wrap Dresses, Ponchos, Bucket Bags & Cross Body Handbags

So how do you gain “Early Access” to the sale?

Early Access is July 9-16 for Nordstrom card holders only. Public sale starts on July 16, and I will be doing a round up of the top items that are still available when the public sale starts. You can learn more about the Nordstrom card options here. I have the Nordstrom Retail Card and I absolutely love it! Theres nothing like getting points that turn into free money to use in the store! In fact, I have $20 that I’m applying towards my Anniversary order! Some people absolutely love the debit because it has the same benefits as credit but comes straight out of your checking account like a normal debit card instead of having another credit card. My Nordstrom card is the ONLY credit card I own besides my beloved American Express. I’ve never been much for having multiple credit cards, but the benefits of the Nordstrom Card are impossible to pass up!

I will be featuring my favorites in each of these categories throughout the week, or you can shop the full sale HERE!

Happy shopping, my loves.
