2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

The biggest sale of the season is here, sale lovers! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale marks the start of the fall/winter fashion season at Nordstrom. They discount tons of new arrivals & our fave brands (everything from Free People to Marc Fisher to Olaplex) are included! The sale opens TODAY for cardholders and to the general public on the 28th. And, like last year, Nordstrom has broken up cardholder access by nordy club level (cardholders – find out yours here!)- icon access started today at 2AM CST, ambassadors gain access 7/14, and all other cardholders can access the sale starting 7/16.

I typically use this sale to stock up on staples or save on pricier items like shoes, home goods, beauty or outerwear! This year, another Rails flannel (this was a top seller last year), a new pair of boots (love these!!), and the Riki Mirror (perfect for traveling!) are on my list! The spanx faux leather leggings I basically live in come Fall, barefoot dreams (anything), and *the* free people sweater are sure to be top sellers again. I own all of them, and they’re 100% worth the nsale hype!

And though this is a great time to save, make sure you set and stick to a realistic budget!! As Kevin always reminds me, just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean you *need* it, lol. There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the sale, and it’s easy to get wrapped up in the next “must have.” Prioritizing what you need (if anything) makes it easier to know when to say no!!

Here are my top picks per category!! There’s eve more rounded up below! If you can’t shop yet, you can “wishlist” an item to save it for later! I’ll update this blog post as items get added and with my try on too so recommend bookmarking it for easy referencing! I head in to shop today with Emerson. Stay tuned for a try on this week!
