Another week of summer down and it is now time for one of my fave sales of the year! Two years ago I had zero clue what this sale was all about but thank goodness I’m a quick learner! The best part of this sale is the items are for the coming season verses a typical end of season sale. So many great items and I’ve picked some of my favorites to share today. While I haven’t tried any of these (yet!), I’ve tried to stick with brands I love and have had great luck with in the past. Thank goodness I suck at budgeting for clothes because I’m pretty sure that just went out the window! My only disappointment is that Nordstrom doesn’t do this twice a year.

The shoes to me are the biggest perk of the anniversary sale; the prices are discounted and shoes often sell out quickly when they are popular. Last year I grabbed a pair of Halogen calf hair print flats and I’m telling you I never wear them without receiving a comment and these look fun! I ended up with Frye boots and booties in every color too and now I’m so trying to hold myself back on purchasing these Vince Camutos but the Toms burgundy are definitely coming to try. I also purchased a pair of
tall Ugg boots last year similar to these and they were so darn comfy and lined with fur so they were perfect for winter. They come in lots of colors including
this pair of navy suede…eek! If you are in the market for traditional Ugg boots then you can see all anniversary sale prices
here.
If you love to snag a pair of designer jeans every now and again, the anniversary sale is great for that as well. I am typically a $40 pair kind of gal but I invested in a pair of Paige jeans last year and I have really loved them. I’m thinking I need a
great bootcut this year or maybe a boyfriend style without the holes such as these
Rag & Bone jeans. Last summer I picked up a Halogen floral sweater that I love and always receive compliments on and it was totally sold out during the sale. I really think
this one is adorable and you have to take a look at the back!
Nothing makes me feel like getting back on a program like some new workout digs! I found Zella leggings several years back and pretty much always grab a new pair when they are on sale. See the purple ones? I have them and seriously everyone always wants to know where I got them! I actually also like Nike brand crops but they are typically more than I want to spend even on sale. My current ones are about 4 years old so I may go ahead and splurge. And how fun are these sweatpants with POCKETS?!! I know nothing about the Alo brand but if I make it to a store I may have to try a pair.
Looking for gift ideas? I am always able to knock out Jordan’s birthday and Christmas during the anniversary sale as well as a few other peeps on my list. It is always fun to grab a great, in style, in season gift at a reduced price without having to stress closer to the holidays. These are just a few of the fun items I found. These candles would make great teacher gifts too! You can never, ever go wrong with Kendra Scott either and I was super excited to see this
cuff on sale. One of my favorite things to receive as a gift is something functional I don’t really want to spend my own money on like makeup brushes or a clarisonic!
So many great items during this sale and I’ve seriously only skimmed the surface! I’m positive I will spend too much money and I’m also positive in November you will all love my outfits.

Love your picks! I cannot wait for my packages to start arriving!
What??? Jeans with no holes?? I thought you were an 80's girl like me!! LOL!
Haha….I love my holey jeans Laura…but I definitely would like a pair I feel like I could wear on casual friday! Last time I wore mine I ended up going to an ice cream social and our CFO was there….he kept glancing down when he was talking to me. EEk!
I already warned Keith….but I am super excited about all the gifts I also grabbed!
Tried the Lucky booties on in store and they were SOOO comfy, I ordered them. We were in there this afternoon picking up some things I ordered for store pick up and my daughter and I spotted the Toms open toe booties. Oh my, they are so cute, but the 7 was too small and the 7 1/2 too big. 😢 Hope they fit you, they are darling.
I knew those Lucky booties would be fabulous! I ordered a very similar pair last year and wore the tar out of them! Too bad they are still in tip top shape or I think I would have had to have another. Crossing my finger on the Toms..I ordered the burgundy color. Wish I had time to get to an actual store!!
I ordered those lucky booties in the brindle color and hoping I'm not sorry I didn't order the sesame color. I've been eyeing those toms booties. Please let me know when you get them and tell me how the sizing is and if I NEED them
I ordered the Steve Madden over the knee boots and the Ugg boots so I could decide between the two. They should arrive this week!
Great sale picks! Grace and I are headed to the store on Friday, so hope we find some good deals! And we are going to Wicked on Saturday…did you like it? I saw that you went to the crepe place…that's so funny because that's one of the places I was thinking of for lunch before the show! We have been to the one in CityCentre, but not Rice Village. 🙂 Have a good Monday!
My favorite area of the sale was definitely the athletic clothing!!!

Love these! Thanks for sharing what you got! I like to try and knock out a couple of gifts during the sale too! I can't believe you had never heard of it till 2 years ago! So glad you did eventually find it!
That floral sweater is so cute!! This sale is perfect for stocking up on the denim. If you have a fav style stock up! And I agree – can't beat the shoe sale prices too. 🙂

I seriously had to hold off ordering the floral sweater….we will see how the first load turns out. 🙂 I've already warned the hubby that I am not keeping everything. haha
Sarah…until I met the blog world I didn't even know that I could afford to shop at Nordstrom!!! Yes…I am SERIOUS!! 🙂 Life changer.
I was definitely excited to stock up on some favorites! Can't wait for my order to start arriving.
Hope you guys find some fun things for back to school! Ahh….someday we are going to have to meet up Tanya! I would just love to meet you and the kids in person. The Crepes were yummy…I don't think the actual meal ones were much for me but the dessert…holy goodness!
You will love the OTK…but I have serious love for my Ugg boots from last year. I was so amazed at how comfortable they are.
Will do Kimm….I'm getting nervous because not much has shipped and I've already had one thing cancelled. 🙁 Sad that this would make me nervous..lol…and I may be exaggerating.
So I'm majorly disappointed this year with the sale. Quite a few things that I ordered haven't shipped and are delayed. It's so frustrating!!!!! I feel bad for the people who can't ship until this week. Lol all the good stuff will be gone!! The one thing I wanted the most, barefoot dreams bathrobe is delayed 👎 But yay my lucky booties shipped
So many pretty things! I have a huge boot issue and want to own them all! I love those burgundy over the knee ones. Oh, I am swooning over here!
Thanks for linking up with me On the Edge of the Week. I hope to see you again this Friday.
Happy shopping!

Eek…I know Dawn Lucy!! I hope I can manage to send a pair or two back!!!
I'm on the serious struggle bus Shelbee trying to decide which ones to keep!
So many great items that I still want! Especially those peep toe Vince Camuto booties
