T-2 days until the biggest sale of the year…The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It starts this week, and I am super excited to get a jump start on my Fall wardrobe.  This sale can be extremely overwhelming, and so I’ve come up with some pointers to help you prepare for the big sale.

• What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and Why Shop it?
  • This is my all time favorite sale that happens during the year. In my opinion, it’s better than Black Friday.  The sale lasts for three weeks, and Nordstrom heavily discounts all areas of the store.  Men’s, Women’s, Children’s, Shoes, Jewelry, Handbags, even designer items. It’s the perfect time to stock up on those items that you love, and want for the upcoming Fall season. Yes, even though it is still summer, start thinking ahead to those cooler months because  a ton of the new fall items will be heavily discounted during this time.
• When does the sale begin?
  • If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you can begin shopping the sale this week!  Early access starts Thursday, July 13 and runs through the 20th.  This means, you get to shop the sale before the general public.  If you are not a cardholder, you can begin shopping the sale July 21 and it will run through August 7.
• Do Items sell out quickly?
  • Yes!  Popular items tend to sell out within the first few days. My advice, check out the Sale Catalog  and make a list of your favorite, must have items, or add them to your shopping bag.  That way, you’ll be all set to go come Thursday.  Because popular items do sell out quickly, if you are unsure on sizing, grab two or three sizes, that way you are sure to get the correct size, without risking the chance of your size selling out. The great part about shopping with Nordstrom is they have free shipping and free returns, so use this to your advantage.
• Check back throughout the sale as I will be updating often with my favorites from the sale.  Good luck and enjoy your shopping!
