HOW TO SHOP: NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

I talk a good bit about sales around here, this one. This one is different. The thing about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is that it’s not last season, leftover goods. It’s brand new, Fall season plus designer items and seasonless classics that you’re hard pressed to otherwise find marked down. In short, this sale is major. Last year, I waited until the sale opened to the public (July 17) and some of my favorites were already sold out, so this year I am getting in on the Early Access (open to Nordstrom Card Holders – I have the debit version which means you only spend what you have #winwin).  Below – my game plan to nailing the sale this time around plus hover over the images above to get the details directly. Happy Shopping!

1. Top Fall Trends: There’s going to be major Seventies vibes again next season, and I’m definitely on board. This little suede skirt will go with everything in my closet and my hat collection is begging for this new friend.

2. Seasonless Classics: Now is the time to grab quality items you’ll wear year-round. Hunter Rain Boots and a black cross-body bag are closet essentials.

3. Designer Picks: If you’ve had your heart set on a Kate Spade Satchel, higher-end makeup (like this exclusive Nars Lip Pencil Set) or premium denim brands (these Paige skinny jeans are on my wish list) now’s your chance to grab ’em!
