Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

I’m not going to lie, guys. I woke up at 3 AM this morning (and then went back to bed) so that I could put my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale order in since today was the first day that I could shop my favorite sale of the year. And while I didn’t grab everything on this list, here are my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks as well as some dates you need to remember if you plan on shopping the sale.

This year I’ve gone more practical with a lot of my picks, focusing on cozy sweaters and fuzzy jackets, sports bras with a little sparkle, sweatshirts that will be on trend come October, and a mixed media hooded blazer that will be great for running errands or a night on the town.

I’ve really come to love a comfy sneaker but it has to be fashionable which is why I love adding a little unexpected to my kicks. Chunky heeled sandals in unique colors and shapes always add a avant garde touch to any outfit while you can never go wrong with a black bootie for fall. Sorel boots have been my go-to for the snowy New England winters now for several years and I love a fuzzy slipper for around the house.

I wish this blush peplum leather jacket came in adult sizes (or at least big kids!). Cheetah print is always a neutral in my book and Arielle will look adorable in this little skirt and sweater with large pockets (though, once I thought this through I decided not to get the sweater for fear of what I’d discover in those pockets). These moto-leggings are so cute. I actually bought them in both colors during the 2019 and 2020 sales and they made it into my cart once again because they are perfect on Arielle. The cheetah and grey sweater will go well with my cheetah and grey sweater (even though they aren’t from the same brand). And I love these light up, over-the-top sneakers and the mermaid Minnetonka slippers.

I am trying to follow the rule that in order to buy a decorative pillow I have to get rid of another. I just tossed one that my cat had attacked so I replaced it with this coral-colored beauty. Marble is always so timeless and I’m also in need of a new carry-on suitcase. While I’d love to add another cheetah print blanket to my collection, I decided to leave this one behind. But it was really hard not to snatch up this tropical yoga/beach towel!

Rarely do I buy jewelry from a department store but I am love with these emerald earrings and diamond and emerald ring. Arielle is a May baby so I’ve been getting a lot of emeralds lately so I can eventually pass them down to her. This dainty diamond ring can be sized down by just tightening the chain. Recently I’ve fallen in love with Tom Ford eyeshadow quads (they have fantastic color payoff) and this set, complete with eyeliner, mascara and a lipstick is a fantastic deal.
