My favorite time of year is upon us, Summer and the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

If you haven’t been on the #nsale train before – no worries as it just started. The sale runs from July 12th to July 18th for early access and then all access from July 18th to August 4th.

To get early access you have to be a Nordstrom card holder. I’ve had a card for over ten years and the perks are awesome! You can apply here. Otherwise, you can start your sale shopping on the 18th.

Tips for the sale:

Start shopping right when the sale starts. Things sell out quick! I recommend starting with shoes, as they go the fastest. The sale features all their new fall collection items. There are items from $10 all the way up to designer level pricing. The savings are really worth it. Some things up to $100+ off!

Next tip: if you see something you want, buy it then! I added something to my “saved for later” list on the site and 5 minutes later it was sold out.

Jackets and sweaters are my next departments to scroll through. I love Nordstrom because you know you’re buying pieces that will last forever. Good quality sweaters and jackets are expensive too, so this sale allows me to buy more of items I wouldn’t pay full price for.

Yesterday I was able to snag a lot of my items I was eyeing and I’m heading into the store this week to search some more but wanted to what I’ve found so far in case it’s what you’ve been looking for too!

First up SHOES!

These booties are perfect for work or a night out. The black suede ones I got in red.

Here are some high boots I found that I’m loving:

Here are more casual boots. I have these first ones in grey and wear them at least 3-4 times a week! I also have been eyeing these Sorels but they are expensive – so seeing them in this sale got me super excited!

Next, I moved onto sweaters and jackets. They had Patagonia and Northface included in the sale. If you live in a cold climate, get yourself one of these jackets. I got this same North Face jacket 11 years ago and I still wear it every winter and it’s like brand new! Worth the investment especially when it’s $50+off! I got the brown leather jacket in a beige color and I scored this Patagonia fleece too!

Here are the sweaters I purchased.

This was my all-time best score – Spanx Leather Leggings, normally over $100+ and they are $40 off!

And here are all the things I’m headed into the store to try on and check out!
