What to Buy, How to Shop, and My Best NSALE Shopping Tips
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here, which means it’s time to share my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks! Unlike most sales, this is your chance to shop brand new fall arrivals at discounted prices before they return to full price. I’ve been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale since I was in my twenties, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best finds don’t stay in stock for long! I always recommend shopping online for the best selection and checking out as early as possible if you have your eye on something.
To save you time, I’ve combed through thousands of sale items and rounded up the ones I think are truly worth adding to your cart. As we prepare for public access on Saturday, July 18, I thought I’d share my NSALE cheat sheet: what to buy, what to skip, how I shop the sale, and of course, the most cart worthy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks!
How I Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Over the years, I’ve found that the best way to shop the Anniversary Sale is with a plan. Rather than buying something simply because it’s on sale, I focus on a few key categories that I know I’ll actually wear, use, and love long after the sale ends.
- Wardrobe Staples. I start with a mental list of the basics my wardrobe needs for fall. Whether it’s denim, tees, or layering pieces, I keep an eye out for those items first. If I know I’ll be buying them anyway, I’d rather buy them while they’re on sale.
- Splurge-Worthy Finds. This sale is a great time to treat yourself! If you’ve been eyeing an updated handbag or luxury sunglasses, it’s a great time to snag them before prices go back up.
- Gifts. I love using the sale to get a head start on holiday shopping! Whether it’s for a sister, best friend, hostess, or coworker, you’ll often find incredible gifts at prices you won’t see again.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks on My Wish List
As mentioned before, items sell out fast during the NSALE! As you browse, be sure to save your favorites to your Nordstrom Wish List so they’re ready to quickly add to your cart when it’s your turn to shop. While there are thousands of fabulous finds included in the sale (more on those in later), these are the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks that have made it onto my Wish List and into my cart.

My Favorite Shoes, Boots, Bags, and Accessories
I know it’s hard to think about suede shoes and boots in these temperatures, but this is one of the best times to save on fall staples you’ll reach for all season long. While you’re at it, don’t skip the handbag section. There are so many beautiful styles included in the sale!
