Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: FAQs + Top Picks

It's THAT TIME of year...

I know every blogger under the sun is yapping about this sale, but I figure I should get to yapping too because I am my own person with my own unique sale favorites. You might find feminine and preppy picks from someone else, or bright colors from another blogger. What can you expect with my Nordstrom Sale picks?

Basic pieces, capsule wardrobe + classic style, with a focus on amazing accessories and beauty must haves.

Boom. That's what we're up to today.

I've broken down ALL THE DETAILS of how you can shop this awesome sale + my top picks down below!

What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Basically it's the big kahuna of sales.

Have you ever noticed how most sales you shop are out of season? Usually you're picking at the summer clearance rack as we're heading into Fall - basically totally useless.

But not the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

For only a couple weeks, Nordstrom offers shoppers brand new arrivals (both summer and fall included) at eye-popping sale prices. When the 25 day sale window closes, all items shoot back up to original prices.

When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Early Access: Thursday, July 12 – Thursday, July 19

Public Event: Friday, July 20 – Sunday, August 5

What is "early access"?

I haaaate when I go to buy something and it's sold out in my size. Like, what a buzz kill.

The way I avoid this with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is by shopping during the "Early Access" window. You can shop on July 12th (today!) during Early Access if you are a Nordstrom cardholder. Only Nordstrom cardmembers will be able to shop the sale during the Early Access.

You can apply for a Nordstrom card here! You'll get access to the sale as soon as you're approved - it's totally worth getting that access FIRST before things sell out. And believe me, they sell out.
