The Real Deal on The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

OKAY, SO WHY SHOP THIS SALE OVER ANY OTHER SALE?

Well, unlike most other sales, this sale is 100% ALL NEW inventory. No one, and I mean no one has seen it and it will be the hottest items for this fall and winter! It may be 90º where you are and the thought of a sweater or over the knee boots may make you want to puke at the moment, but, you’ll be so sad if you didn’t purchase and the items go back up to regular price and restock after the sale. One thing I have learned over the years is, these items tend to sell out fast. Like, super duper fast. I am talking within days and sometimes even hours! Trust me – you will want to shop this one! This is also a great time to splurge on designer items because they will not go on sale again until this time next year – even on Black Friday!

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO SHOP?

I will actually be traveling to Miami on July 11th and be shopping both online Nordstrom.com and in store in Miami this year. I usually only shop online, but I am going to Miami a day early to get you first access including try ons in dressing room/ what I bought posts/ and sizing details! I will be updating my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale tab which you can find at the top of my blog and sharing on my social accounts all through the sale, so stay tuned for my favorites. Basically, I would love to be your virtual online shopper!

TIPS TO SHOPPING THE SALE

Shop As Soon As Sale Goes Live (like, the morning of the 12th)– Get the early access by getting a Nordstrom Credit Card. ((They no longer offer the debit card))

*Only Nordstrom cardmembers will be able to shop the sale during the Early Access time frame. Apply for a Nordstrom Credit Card so you can get first access to the sale & shop it before others so you can get what you want! Items ALWAYS sell out VERY fast.

CARD PERKS:

||Earn 2 points per dollar spent in stores and online at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club.

||Plus, get a $40 bonus Note when you make any purchase with on your new card the day you’re approved.

Shop Fast – If you want something- Buy it right away. Whether it’s in the Instagram app and you’ve swiped up, here via my website, or in the Liketoknow.it app…purchase right then. The best part is that Nordstrom offers free shipping both ways, so you can place as many orders as you’d like for no additional cost. This isn’t the the time to sit and think on the purchase – buy it and return it if you get it and don’t like it or change your mind. Items tend to sell out quickly and usually aren’t restocked until prices go back up!

3. Shop Smart – Make a list of the things you will need for fall. Think jeans, boots, tees, sweaters, jackets and other staples. I always buy a few designer items, because they usually never go on sale. And, I tend to buy things I know I’m going to wear a lot and need but not want to pay full price when the season actually rolls around. Like spanx leggings, scarves, etc.
