Happy July!
Can you guys believe it’s here?!
I’m not going to lie. There is only one reason and one reason only why I love July so much.
THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE.
This is by far my favorite sale of the year not only because the trends are always on point for the upcoming season, but the deals are amazing. You can get new designer handbags for 40% off & other closet staples for such a steal. This is the time of the year when I try to stock up on fall necessities like a good coat, a classic black dress or an expensive pair of designer boots that will last me for years.
So what do you need to know to shop the sale?!
Well, I’m answering some of the top questions below and I’m also sharing my top picks with you from the catalog so far. I will make sure that once the sale is live to “refresh” this page with all of the current sale links to the items below. (UPDATE: All items have been updated with current links to shop!) See something you love and want to purchase during the sale on here? Come back to this page on July 13th & I’ll have all the links ready and waiting for you. So let’s dive into the details.
How Do You Shop The Sale Early?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs from July 21st – August 6th. UNLESS you are a Nordstrom cardholder, then you can shop the sale 8 days early on July 13th. Let me tell you…..8 days early is SO worth it. A lot of the good designer deals and fall staples sell out during those 8 days of early access, so you definitely don’t want to miss out. Don’t have a Nordstrom card yet, no worries. You have until July 9th to apply for one here.
Why Is This Sale So Popular?
Well, it’s a Nordstrom sale for one thing! I love all Nordstrom sales but the difference with this sale is that the products on major sale are all BRAND NEW items. The sneak peek catalog is really the only look we get until the sale goes live, so the anticipation of what’s new is super exciting.
What’s The Best Way To Shop The Sale?
Honestly, I usually shop online at first. You avoid the crowds, are able to get items at the click of a button without searching through the store & you are able to get first access to those hot items that sell out fast. After I do my first couple of orders online (yes, I said a couple, it happens every year), I will head into the store to see if there is anything amazing that I missed or to try on some of those questionable pieces.
My advice? Shop online. Saves you time because you don’t have to wait out the crowds and it’s convenient. Shop the sale on July 13th HERE.
Where Will You Be Posting Your Sale Picks?
Of course I’ll be posting my top picks here on the blog (www.ashleydonielle.com) and I’ll also be posting fittings, sizing details and unboxings via my Instagram (@ashdonielle). I’ve also created a “Nordstrom Sale” tab on the top main page of the blog for easy access to the sale and all my picks. You can see how I’ve shared about the sale in the past by checking out some of my posts from last years sale here & here.
I Want To Shop Online But Don’t Want To Wait For Shipping, What Are My Options?
After you hop online on July 13th, you can add items into your cart and choose the “in store pick-up” option. That way you are guaranteed to get get them that day, before they sell out AND you don’t have to wait in long lines to check out. You add the items to your cart, select “in store pick up”, checkout, and your order is ready to pick up at a Nordstrom near you within 2 hours. This is actually the only way I shop online at Nordstrom now. So convenient, easy and fast.
