The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here, if you missed the memo. 🙂 I keep finding myself saying to jon, since when is ______ such a big deal? His answer “It is?” Perks of him being off social media I guess. He’s the best. I get swallowed up in the pull of social media from some of these events + it feels like more pressure than fun sometimes.
But anyways, I tried hard to keep it together on stories yesterday after my trip sans kids to Nordstrom. I am feeeeeling the consumerism big time. I’ve always bought a few things at the NSALE, but has anyone else felt more + more push over the years? I hope I don’t pressure you like that + am sorry if I do. Just doing my part to Fashion land + pretending like we are sitting in the dressing room trying them on together. Trying to break down the sale so it feels less overwhelming + sending all my vibes to just buy things you love. . . not because they’re cheap or because someone else has them.
I went in to the store to shop early + found that the majority of the best pieces are online. 🙂 So learn from me, let us make shopping easier for all of us + not take our kids into the mayhem. DEAL! Hoping to be more on the ball with looks + links this go, we’ll see how it goes! You’re welcome to shop my looks (in photo captions), on liketoknow.IT, or through my favorites by category at the end of this post! Let me know if you need help.
The biggest brands I will be shopping during the sale : NIKE | MADEWELL | FREE PEOPLE | PATAGONIA | ALO
Some products I always make sure to hit up during the sale are :
- deodorant: once you donna karan, you don’t go back! the sale has a pack of 3 every year + i know it lasts me until the next one. just take my word for it or come smell mine.
sunglasses : you can snag designer sunglasses for almost half off. Last year I snagged a pair of Burberry round sunglasses + ray-bans. - beauty : this is a great time to stock up on beauty faves! I alternate perfumes between LIGHT BLUE, FLOWER BOMB, LE LABO. I dig the Nars mini lip colors, the gift set color choice are bomb + on SALE for because they have the right amount of pigment + Bobbi Brown Makeup + kiehls goodie bag.
- activewear : this is one of my favorite categories in the #NSALE this year. I am digggging all the Nike sneakers, these wide leg sweats + biker shorts
- jackets : a usual favorite from this years sale! jackets + coats tend to be super expensive. I’ve found the investment is worth the return + a category to save BIG. I bought this Madewell Jacket because it’s $60 off. i can’t wait for it to get here!
- baby/kids gear : our stroller is on sale! it’s compact enough to fit on the airplane overhead compartment. we have loved the bright red + it is the most compact one we’ve owned. Brands like Nuna and Maxi Cosi are also discounted during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. These brands hardly ever go on sale!
Don’t forget to check out home stuff (they even have anthropologie) mens + kids!

remember, some products sells out QUICK. snag your favorites while you can. I’d rather mail back what doesn’t fit + grab multiple sizes when i’m unsure – – – rather than have it sell out while i’m still deciding. you can return ANYTHING from Nordstrom, so it’s allll good if you know what I mean. xx
